"Well, since you ask me as a friend
to tell you frankly what's on my mind
may as well confess to you that am
in deep financial distress" said johnson
to an acquaintance the other evening.

prospecting nicely when | met you last

nbout?'
In this way: We moved into n new
flat in May, and another family moved
in lust overhead. We were friendly for
time till they rented secondhand
piano. We thought we'd play even and
so we rented one. They began giving
their daughter lessons, and in order to
even up the noise we followed suit.
They bought their boys cornet and a
snare drum, and we got ours from.

On Collecting Autographs.

The most elementary form of the
strangers letter is of course the applica-
ton for an autograph. This application
is now reduced to such n system that it
causes little inconvenience and should
not be refused. There is usually sent
with the request blank card ON which
tho name is to be written, with an en-
velope stamped and addressed for its re-
turn. Nothing can be more unobtrusive
or mechanical, though the line of pro-
priety is at once passed, we may say,
where two cards are sent, the second
one being obviously for exchange pur-
poses or perhaps for sale.
The wary author never, l suspect,
writes ON both cards, since he does not
aim TO help out mere business trans
action. Where any applicant goes far
Their and asks an original letter or copied
passage, the affair becomes more serious,
and some authors and public men ignore
such requests altogether, as being much
more serious consumers of time.-T. W,
Higginson in Harper's Bazaar.

WEDNESDAY. DEC. rs, 1892.


The secretary of the Smithsonian in
stitution, Professor Langley, has been
experimenting with Cuban firefiies with
a view to discovering the manner in
which the illumination they emit is
generated. He says that the light they
give is the cheapest" in the world
produced, that is TO say, with the least
heat and the smallest expenditure of
energy-and he believes that a success
full imitation of it would prove most
profitable substitute for gas or electrici-
ty. The insects are beetles two inches
long and belong to the family of "snap-
ping bugs so called because when one
of them is laid on its back it snaps itself
into the air with clicking sound. The
secret of the light this FREELY gives is as
yet undiscovered.
Apparently it is connected in some
way with the mysterious phenomena of
life, and chemists and physicists have
sought in vain to explain its origin. On
each side of the animals thorax is
luminous membraneous spot, and these
fash at intervals, so that the Cubans put
a dozen of the insects in cage together
and obtain continuous illumination
bright enough to read by. This light is
accompanied by no perceptible heat, and
is seemingly produced with no expendi-
ture of energy. How great an improve
ment it represents upon all known arti-
fetal lights can be imagined when it is
stated that in candle light, lamp light
or gas light the waste is more than 90
per cent.-American Analyst.

A CHRONIC Case.

Known, chiefly by correspondence, to
many persons is certain invalid who
spends her days in studying her tease"
and writing about it. Her letters are
long, full of unpleasant details and SO
burdened with inquiries and requests
that they have to be answered at almost
equal length, and most of them are adj
dressed to men and women to whom
time is precious.
Sometimes the invalid asserts that the
use of typewriter would relieve unfa-
vorable symptoms, and asks hundred
questions about the different machines.
Again, she finds it necessary to divert
her mind, and turns to literature, rely
ing on an author to tell her what and
how to write. Then she resolves to make
an experiment in treatment, and can
vases by letter for worthless subscrip-
ton book that she may gain the money

But always her "case" is directly OF
indirectly the theme of the many closely
written pages All things past, present
and to come are related to her various

Aunt selnda,s rour hundred.

IAN old negro woman has established
new theocracy at Grenada, Miss" said
]. H. B. Miller, of Coffeyville. "Her
name is Scinda, and her followers are
called 'Scinda Band They number
about 400. Scinda is their queen, and
rules her flock with an iron rod. They
use no Bibles at their meetings, for each
member is supposed to know it by heart.
If Scinda asks them Biblical question
they are supposed to have an answer at
once. They have their meetings every
Sunday evening and they are interest
ing to observe. The congregation-men
and women-are decked out in costly
ribbons and beads. Their chants are as
weird as the sobs and signs of graveyard
trees. They dance to the music of the
banjo and tambourine until they are
nearly exhausted, and then they go
home. st. Louis Republic.

Among the latest fancies in photogra

Among the latest fancies in photogra-
ply is the cane camera, which consists
of q walking stick with ebonized handle,
in which the camera is surrounded by a
wide silver band and accompanied by
all the necessary apparatus for making
photographs. The handle is fitted in,
side with neat metal drop shutter,
which connects with spring and pin
underneath, and is operated noiselessly
with one finger.
Even smaller than this is the pocket.

about 1 4 inches square, and when not
in use folds up in an ordinary lady's
purse about inches long, 21S inches
wide and Z inch thick. The lens is an

it may be used either with plate or cut
films. Besides its special characteristic
the purse is supplied with sections for
containing silver, postage stamps and
cards.-New York Telegram.

The fierce animosity some ardent
housekeepers exhibit toward dust seems
amusingly exaggerated to quieter souls
To the true dust hater no family trouble
or family joy is paramount. With hel
mouth she may mourn Williams sorrow
or exult over Edith's prosperity. He1
eyes are rowing. They spy the bit OF
fluff upon the carpet, and she checks
her sobs to pick it up. The recital OF
Edith's happiness is interrupted while
she walks across the floor to wipe off q
tables edge or to lament the difficulty
of keeping a room clean when the win
dows are so often opened.
Births, deaths or marriages may come
and go in her households Not one OF
these disturbs her equanimity half so
much as having her sweeping day post

suspected corner.
An enthusiast of this sort one evening,
with tragic air, requested her husband
to accompany her to an upper chamber.
The tired lawyer was impressed by her
solemn manner, and heavily climbed the
necessary stairs. The lady led him into
a room and pointed sternly to u table.
Look at that" she said Indignantly.
''Three times this week have told Mary

purposely. l am completely disheart-

a wan rnper Of Postage STAMPS.

The little village of Bersted, near
Bognor, possesses a unique curiosity in
the form of an innroom papered with
postage stamps. The apartment is fan
cifully decorated with many descrip-
tons Of used stamps, and even the pas
sage leading to the room is similarly
papered. Some five years were occu-
pied in making the collection, which
numbers some thousands of stamps.
The room being completed in 1887 it
was naturally given the name Of the
Jubilee Stamproom.' Indeed some
members of the royal family interested
in the collection are said to have added
to it a number of stamps on their own
account. New York Recorder

The Rag Doll.

The rag doll, dearer to the heart of
childhood than any other sort of doll, is
quite the fashionable doll par excellence
at the present moment. Unlike the one
our grandmothers made for their little
ones, the one cherished by the little
folks of today is of flesh colored silk jer-
sey cloth or of cotton balbriggan of the
same color. Its body is filed with cot
ton, and its hair is in many rings of yell
low single zephyr stitched on in loops.
The face is painted, and when it is nee
essary to clean it this face can be re-
painted after the rest has been washed,
as it can be without injury.-Detroit

Thanksgivlng Gives JOY and Comfort.


Some beautiful thoughts regarding
Thanksgiving are embodied in the fol-
lowing paragraph published by Harper's
Bazaar some time ago: when the heart
is sorest, grief the bittefest, loss the
most extreme, the giving Of thanks brings
a relief to the spirit like that of rain to
the thirsty earth. To give thanks to
heaven that we have had the lost to
love, that they are ours, since we love
them still and we cannot love what is
not; to give thanks that they ever ex-
listed, that we knew them and had to do
with them, that we had pride and joy in
them--to do this is to put ourselves into
such close connection and conversation
with the all giving power as to receive a
new JOY almost as precious as the old.

In the hierarchy of the affections,
women place love before friendship; men
place friendship before love, as did the
