Apenryphal Experiences.

In sober truth ene horrors of houseclean.
ing are, on the part of the man, largely
mythical, If not wholly imaginary. Some
little disturbance of his habitual Incidence
there is, but this is good medicine for him.
After he passes the middle mile post on his
journey, man falls into the habit of sitting
In the same chair and in the same place in
the same room when he is at home Take
him into another room in his own house,
and he does not seem at home there. Con-
sequently very small molehill of disturb
Rnce is to him mountain crowned with
heaven reaching peaks OF insurmountable
difficulties and uncomfortable troubles.
Moreover, it is his hereditary right to
growl at housekeeping; he has it from
his father who had it from his father,
whose father left IL to him as n sacred
trust. When he was younger he used to
dance around the Maypole with Jocund
Youth. But now j. Youth, who never
grows a day older herself, dances with
other beardless cheeks and silken mus
taches and he, good man, has touch of
rheumatism in the knees; unwieldy in his
habit, should he essay to dance, Jocund
Youth would die of laughter, and the
kangaroo would come from afar to learn
his step. Therefore he stays in his lair
and growls between his clinched gums.
Truth to tell he scarcely knows that
housekeeping has been going on until it
Is all over, and even then he has to be told.
He knows nothing about it save when the
tide reaches his own room. For the rest
of the house he does not know what trans
formation has been going on. He learns
that the carpets have been treated like an
unlucky candidates. they have been up,
beaten, aud put down again. He does not
know, until he has been told, that every
speck of paint in the house has been cleaned
He learns that the bureau in his room has
been moved into a new corner, just after
he had learned to find it in the old one in
the dark. Nobody tells him this; he is
smart enough TO find IL out all by his lone,
unassisted self And when, after many
commissions he will learn the new route as
accurately as he knew the old one, lol
smiling May will come once more and it
will be moved back again. This also is
vanity.-Robert j. Burdette In Ladies'
Home journal.

Some remarkable statistics, interesting
from several points Of view, in regard to
the coyotes in California have been com
piled by the comptroller of the state since
an act of the legislature fixing bounty OF
five dollars on each coyote scalp went into
effect. In less than year 10000 coyotes
have been killed and scalped in the state,
and nearly 100000 have been paid to the
hunters In one county alone, Kern, $17,-
045 has been paid in bounties. Tulare
county got $780, and Los Angeles Sc, DOS.
No claims We're presented from San Fran
cisco, but the neighboring county collected
$945.
The statistics have surprised naturalists
and legislators. In the adjoining terri
tories of Arizona and New Mexico coy
otes are plentiful, but are valueless, and it
is generally understood that the hunters
in the territories are doing prosperous
business in exporting coyote scalps to Cal
ifornia. Exchange.

why He Didn't sit Down.

A police court, even in Paris, is prosaic
place so far as scenery Is concerned; but a
great deal of color was observable the
other day in the witness box, as it may be
called of the tribunal of correctional
police. There stood, with his vizor up,
tall parsonage in the full panoply of
knight errant of the Middle Ages.
He was resplendent in coat of mail, his
hands were ineased in iron gauntlets, and
he looked in fact as If he had just stepped
out of the pages of .Ivanhoe"
His appearance of course created what
may be called without the least touch of
exaggeration "a sensation" The grim
clerk of the court looked surprised, the
young barristers and solicitors smiled and
the expression on the face of the presiding
magistrate can only be imagined. AT last
the clerk summoned up courage, after
much whispering had taken place between
him and the magistrate, to demand of the
medieval efIigy an account of himself
Then IL transpired that the man of the
mail was jacques Pierre Grosclaude, that
he was engaged in distributing handbilIs
for the proprietor of the brasserie of ''The
Beautiful Fredegonda," and that he had
been subpenaed in the case of Blancard
versus Denizet.
"But how comes it, asked the irate pre-
siding magistrate, "that you have the ati-
dacity to present yourself in dress like
that?"
The reply was delivered In faltering
tone Yielding to necessity, the knight err
rant had pawned his prosaic attire and
was obliged to appear in the professional
habilaments in which he distributed hand
bills on the boulevards setting forth the
comforts and luxuries of the brasserie Of
1.-The Beautiful Fredegonda" The an
swer having satisfied the magistrate the
witness was told TO sit down, but he caused
further explosions of laughter when he said
naively:

my ironmongcry on. Paris Letter.

Chicago has just erected Il monument to
newspaper reporter who lost his life in
the discharge of duty. In Minneapolis
few days ago, at the memorial services OF
the oldest reporter in the northwest, the
great hall was packed and eulogistic adj
dresses were made by the governor and
other prominent citizens. 1t is gratifying
to observe that as a rule the members OF
this profession are advancing In public APP

business on our great dailies has developed
into both science and fine art. 1t must
be done by men and women Of education.
ability, Judgment and discretion.
1t demands persons not only Of talent
but of character. In addition to work OF
the most laborious nature there Is consid-
cradle amount Of responsibility. First
class reporting deserves to rank among the
learned professions, and the industrious,
faithful and conscientious reporter is en-
titled to the recognition and respect Of the
community.
He contributes largely to the success OF
every public undertaking; he gives the
people an opportunity to keep well in
formed upon local events; he describes
many good deed 1t done in the interests OF
humany and he proves a wholesome terror
to those of evil inclinations. 1t is a salts
faction to note that his memory is honor
ed it is still greater pleasure to notice
that there is u growing appreciation of the
inestimable value Of his daily services

Not So Long, but Quite as wide.

1t is customary for railroads to issue an
nual passes to the highest officials of other
railroads in the same section of the coun-
try. Awhile ago the president of q little
lumber railroad in Minnesota-a line only
four miles long and built solely for the
transportation of hmber-called at the
general offices of the Great Northern rail-
way at st. Paul, presented his card and
said that he had issued an annual pass to
President James Hill, of the Great North
ern, and would like similar courtesy.
The Office employees were thunderstruck
by this display of nerve, and politely re-
fused to honor the request. The caller
grew indignant and demanded to SEQ
"Jim" Hill personally. Being ushered
into President Hills private Office he again
stated his case and asked for an annual
pass.
but, my dear sir, your road is not
passenger line, and pass over it is WORTH
less, ;" said Mr.. Hill.
81 know it" replied the insistent caller,
"but it is customary to honor requests for
courtesies. We railway magnates cannot
afford to discriminate against each other,
you know. It's matter of regular form
discipline. It's part of the railway busi-
ness, you see, and we ought not to violate
any of the regular usages Of reputable
lines See?"
..Yes- perhaps; but don't you see that
you have no real railway liner Yours is
only a jay freight line about four miles
long, beginning at a lumber camp and end
ing the Lord only knows where.n
"Well, Mr.. Hill, I'm willing to admit
that my road isn't as long as yours; never
claimed it was. But my road Is just as
wide as yours, sir, and want you to keep
that fact in view. Don't you forget it.

very largely on the individual.
There would be no sense of fitness in a
man of twenty marrying woman OF

man OF twenty to marry girl OF fifteen.
The average marrying age Of men is from
twenty-five to thirty, and OF women from
twenty to twenty-five. These are general

to take such an important step.
Some men are, to all intents and pur-

whv They smile,l.

A lady of this city went out calling one
afternoon, leaving her three little children
in her handsome parlors, in charge of a
servant, who WAS accustomed to take care
of them. There was table set for
o'clock tea, and everything was in readi-
ness for the return Of the hostess with her
calling company.
She came attended by her guests and
found the children ominously quiet, and
the girl ''just stepped out" as she after
ward explained. The little ones were all
smiling too; not loud smiles, but deep.
The secret was soon out. OF all the
cake, bonbons, chocolate and cream, not a
vestige remained.
'Dimple," asked the mother gravely of
the eldest of the three, "what have you
been doingS"

Birds In Forests.

1t Is commonly supposed that there is
but little bird life in the forest, because 30
few birds are seen or heard. But this Is
not the fact. A large number Of families
are represented, though not many songsters
waste their sweetness in the solitude The
forest is so dense and the underground so
thick that the smaller birds easily hide
themselves from sight, and II they utter u

them in vain. To study them one must

for opportunities. One class of birds will

Bears Easily Captured.

This story of capture of alternating
bears comes from the state of Washing
ton. 1t is related by two citizens of Skipa-
non, who saw the beasts in captivity.
Their owner said that in cutting down one
of the giant spruce trees common to that
region he discovered that one part of it was
hollow, and looking into the cavity he
made out three slumbering bears There
upon he nailed three slabs" of wood across
the hole, and sawed off from the main
trunk the section of tree in which the bears
were housed. This he started down the
mountain side in the usual fashion, and
the novel cage and its contents arrived
safely at the bottom. The bears, which
are In n state of semitorpor, are now ON ex-
