ne Fancied the Coat q Arms.

A secondhand bookseller had bought
at country sale some 200 or 800 vol
umes of handsome but unstable old ser
mons, books on theology and the like.
Having placed few of these outside, a
stylishly dressed man entered the shop
and said, 'I'll take these books, and, say,
have you any more of this kind with
this shield on to themg pointing to the
bookplate attached, which bore the arms
and name Of a good old county family.
THAT box, sir, is full of books from
the same honse." answered the book
seller.
What's yer tigger for theml' inquired
the customer. ''See here, Istart back
to Chicago tomorrow. I'm going I'd
start hbery thar, and these books will
just fit me, name and all. Just you sort
out all that have that shield and name
and send them around to the Langham
at 7 sharp. I'll be around to settle mp
but see, now, don't you send any with.
ont that name plate, for that's my name
too, and / reckon this old boss with the
daggers and ROSTERS might have beer
related to me some way. Walter Ham

ats strange what creatures Of habit
some Of NJ are" said Mr.. Staybolt.
sThere's my friend, Walter Gratebar.
Exemplary man, capable and efficient
under ordinary conditions, bat lost II he
departs from his daily routine. His wife
Is inst like him, rnethodicai IN every
thing. They have roast beef for dinner
ON the same day each week. There Is a
breakfast bill Of fare for each day in the
week, and it never varies. Mr.. Grstebar
doesn't remember the time, for instance,
when they didn't have picked up Goldfish
ON Tuesdays
"He is 30 accustomed to theAe things
that his sense Of tastenow runs In waves,
which recur with absolute regularity.
II is probable that If picked up canvas
back was set before him on q Tuesday
morning it would taste to him more Ike
picked up Goldfish, for that's his codfsh
morning, and his taste is set for goldfish.
Al matter Of fact, he ate smoked beef
for breakfast last Tuesday morning and
didn't know it until night Iteemed to
him that there was something wrong
about that breakfast, but he didn't make
ont what it was.
HE went to his business at the usual
time and began his work in the usual
way, but everything went wrong. When
noon came he went to the same restaurant
that he had always been to, stood in the
same place at the lunch counter, ate the
same lunch that he had eaten for years,
and was back at work in twenty min
utes, as usual, but nothing seemed to
60 right, and as the afternoon wore on
there was added to his other woes q
feeling Of physical discomfort. His
work dragged and he was late home.
~ don't see what can be the matter
with me, he said to Mrs. Gratebar. It
can't be anything I've eaten, can it? /
ate very little Of the Goldfish this morn
ing
water
.sThere was strange tone in her
voice, and her methodical, but usually
very pleasant and cheerful, face now
wore look Of self reproach.
walter she said, You didn't have
Goldfish for breakfast; you had smoked
beef
why, how's that he said, with q
calm face, but with lighter heart, for
it was relief to him to know what was
the matter with him.
1--WE were out Of Goldfish, said Mrs
Gratebar. and Mary forgot to order it
of the grocer
"And SO they had had to eat Wednes-
days smoked beef ON Tuesday, the cod
fish day. But they are running accord
ing to schedule now, and Mr.. Gratehar

Englishmen Are slow.

Trains are not so pnnctual as in the
United States The enormous traffic has
something to do with this, but am told
that the fanlt is somewhat due to faulty
organization; that in fact the engine de-
partment is too entirely distinct from
the conductors department. There is
not on the engineer any great response
bility for being on time, but there is on
him an immense care that his engine
shall show economical use of coal, waste,
oil, etc. BY such return is he judged,
and he is busy running an economical
engine while the passengers chafe and
the conductor is placidly sitting in the
"guardsvan," for he has MO responsible
ityNeither for time. If station master
sends the train of five minutes late, it
is nobody's business to make it up, and
1t Is not made up.-London Cor. San
FRANCISCO Chronicle.

Juvenile candor.

A little six-year old, pretty as a pic.
ture and wonderfully bright, was in,
vited out with few friends of her own
age the other evening. It was at Cass
avenue residence that the little misses
and masters were entertained. After
an hours romp, during which our hero
inc showed precocious dignity, dinner
was served. the lady of the house giving
the matter her personal supervision.
When she reached this particular little
girl the matron said, "Are You well
helped, my little dear?"
ooh, I'm beautifully helped. Be-yoo-
tiful1y, but what kind of partner have
you given me? He sits here just like a
little dummy, and hasn't said single
word since we came to the table"
The small boy slid under the table,
the good lady laughed and the pretty
little miss capped the climax by declar-
ing that she would be so much obliged
If she could be helped to another part
ner.-Detroit Free Press.

cennloidl

Culluloid, the composition of which
was long kept secret, has for some
years been largely employed for inn
itating articles made Of horn, shell.
ivory and even marble. 1t has the
immense advantage that it can be
welded, mele-las. nodded and shaped
without difficulty, and it Is for this
reason now largely employed for the
manufacture of walking stick han
dies, umbrella handles, piano keys,
etc. 1t has also been used for max.
ing rulers, set squares and other sim
liar instruments Of precision, for it
has been shown that the expansion
of this substance is much more reeu-
lar and uniform than that Of wood,
and that errors previously unavoida-
Bile can be eliminated by it's use.
This industrial product, now indis-
pensable for number of articles of
everyday use, Is simply made up Of
nitro-cellulose, camphor and water.

4 Dream and thirteen.


Bishop Burnet in his story of the
conversion and death of the famous
Earl of Rochester is particularly in
teresting. He states that his lord
ship told him of an odd presage his
chaplain had Of his approaching
death in the house of the earl's
mother-in-law, the Lady Ware. This
chaplain had dreamed that such q
day he should die, but being by all
the family put out Of the belief
of it he had almost forgot it till the
evening before at supper, there be
ing thirteen at table, according to a
fond conceit that one Of these must
soon die, one of the young ladies
pointed to him that he was to die.
He, remembering his dream, fell
into some disorder, and the Lady
Ware reproving him for his super
stition he said he was confident be
was to die before morning, but he
being in perfect health it was moi
much minded. 1t was Saturday
night, and he was to preach the next
day. He went to his chamber and
sat up late, as appeared by the burn
ing of his candle, and he had been
preparing his notes for his sermon,
but was found dead in his bed the
next morning.

II was told Of one distant corner Of
Scotland that umbrellas were sp0rted
only by the laird and the minister,
and were looked upon by the com
mon class Of people as perfect phe-
nomena. To see the minister or the
laird go by with an umbrella over
his head was as good as a circus to
the small boys Of the village.
One day Daniel MCPHERSON called
upon the laird to pay his rent. AS
he was about to leave hard shower
came ON, and Daniel, being well to
do man and much respected, " the
laird politely offered him the use Of
an umbrella. Daniel proudly ac-
cepted the loan, and much elated
walked of with his head held several
inches higher than usual.
He had not been gone many min
utes, however, when, to the laird's
surprise, he sees Daniel posting back
with all possible haste, the umbrella
still held firmly over his head.
Haze, hae, kornel, he called out,
.4this'll never dol There's nae q door
in a. my house thatn tax it inl My
verra barn door Wilma tax it inr'
Poor Daniels head had not vel
grasped the idea that the umbrella
must be shut up before he tried t.
take it in the door. -Harper's Young

The Fi.heries of Lake Superior.

At little Port Arthur alone the figures
Of the fishing industry for the market
are astonishing. In 1888 the fishermen
there caught 100000 pounds of white
fish, 360, 900 pounds of lake trout, $4,000
pounds of sturgeon, 10000 pounds Of
pickerel and 10000 pounds Of other fish
or more than million pounds in all
They did this with an investment Of
$500 in boats and $4,000 in gill and
pound nets. This yield nearly all went
to Chicago packing company, and it i;
in the main Chicago and Cleveland CAPT
tai that is controlling the lakes fisheries

one way 70 succeed.

Il takes patience to succeed IN estab-
fishing foothold in the most desirable
combinations of men and women, and !
am often amused by those who tire of
the chase and seek to buy their way.
Such persons hire excellent cooks and
give dinners at which famous entertain
ers assist. They have cards printed,
with receiving days announced upon
them. They aim to leap into social rec
ognition with Q bound. Alasl the only
women who come to their houses are
the women who are in the same social
strait women who smile upon one an
other and yet despise each another. 1t
does not work. They drink their own
wines and eat their own dinners, that is
all.
The surest way to succeed that / know
Of is to begin young and never rest or
marry until as dancing man, or d
beau, or wit. You have made your
self desired everywhere that your male
friends go. Then if you marry in the
best set to which you have the entree
you will start well on the road. Is it
worth the devotion of a bachelors life
and energy? All, ] don't know. judge
so from the scenes / witness around me,
from the lives Istudy daily. It must be
worth great deal if it is worth the
anxiety and money and yearning and
struggle that men give to it wherever /
see them.-Cor. San Francisco Argo-

Peter the Greats Motto.

Every one. can appreciate the impor-
lance of the slight matters spoken of, be-
cause the wonderful results are now be-
fore the world. But the beginnings Of
these things were treated with ridicule
or contempt. No matter how unimpor-
tant circumstance appears, it is quite
possible that great results may come
from it. In a small building which was
once Peter the Greats workshop in Hol-
land is the inscription, Nothing is too
little for the attention Of great man. "
