The Hauteur of English Servants.

get on charmingly with the English
nobility and sufficiently well with the
gentry, but the upper servants strike
terror to my soul. There is something
awe inspiring to me about an English
butler, particularly one in imposing
livery. When Icall upon Lady de Wolfe,
I say to myself impressively as I go up
the steps: "You are as good as a butler,
as well born and well bred as q butler,
even more intelligent than a butler
Now, simply because he has an unap-
proachable hautiness of demeanor, which
you can respectfully admire. but can
hope to initiate, do not cover be-
meath the polar light of his eye; assert
yourself; be a woman be an American
citizen!' All in vain.
The moment the door opens | ask foy
Lady de Wolfe in so timid a tone that |
know Parker thinks me the parlor maids
sister, who has rung the visitors bell by
mistake. If my lady is within, l follow
Parker to the drawing room, my knees
shaking under me at the prospect of
committing some solecism in his sight.
Lady de Wolfe's husband has been no,
BILE only four months. and Parker of
course knows it and perhaps affects
even greater hauteur to divert the atten-
ton of the vulgar N from the
newnes of the title.-Kate D. Wiggin

All a Mistake.

Last week three preachers mingled in
the crowd of people looking at the show
window Of a large clothing store. While
they were earnestly observing the dis
play a vigilant detective came to them
and laying his hand on the shoulder of
one of the ministers said:
"You must go with me-"
"Where?" asked the clergyman.
"To the city hail." replied the detect
i've as he displayed his badge. The
preacher declined to go, but after think
ing over the matter remarked: CAL
right, will go. I suppose I will look as
well in the city hall as you will" They
had not proceeded far before the detect
i've felt that he had made a mistake. He
excused himself, and the minister walked
away, accompanied by his brother min
listers, who had come to his rescue. This
incident recalls the arrest as a suspected
felon of a well known newspaper man a
few years ago by a prominent detective,
who found the newspaper man sending
off a long telegram.-Louisville Courier
Journal.

by a curious coincidence" says an
English journal, attention has been
called to the existence, in very poor cir.
cumstances, of an aged daughter OF
Theodore Hook, just at a time when q
proposal is on foot to commemorate the
brilliant humorist by a stained glass
window in the porch of Fulham church,
in the pretty Gods acre of which he
lies buried. Hooks only surviving child
has, alas! fallen on evil days, and at up.
ward of 70 years of age finds herself in
sorely Strengthened circumstances.
st is not, happily, our custom to allow
the children of those who have won
fame to suffer unaided the penalties OF
unavoidable misfortune, and it may be
taken for granted that the same spirit OF
respect for a distinguished nam which
has led to the collection of funds for the
memorial window and for the restora-
ton of the famous writer's tomb will
secure material help to his daughter in
her poverty and old age. So far as The
odore Hook himself is concerned, we
may be quite sure that no posthumous
honor that could be offered to him would
compare-could he but know of it-with
the timely aid which is asked for his in
digent and almost friendless daughter

The Arrangement of Leaves.

The general arrangement of the leaves
On limbs and stalks of trees and plants
secures between each sufficient space to
prevent one leaf from interfering with
another. And not only are leaves SO ar
ranged as to exist independently of each
other, but in a general way they have
taken upon themselves the forms best
adapted to secure the maximum of sun
light as it is showered upon them i'll diff
ferent ATTITUDES. At the equator, where
the suns rays are vertical, we find large
fiat leaves, like those of the banana.
plantain and the various species of the
cactus.
Farther north, where sunlight strikes
at an angle, small leaves and pine
needles" are found. Then, again, note
the popularity of the Australian gum
tree-instead of exposing their broad
faces to the sun the edges only are SC
turned. Were it otherwise the sun
would rob them of all their moisture, it
being a well known fact that the gum
tree grows in the driest region on earth,

SIR RICHARD OWENS GHOST STORY.

1t Was FearfuIly Real to the Man Who Saw
the Severed Head Rolling In.
The late Sir Richafd Owen used to re-
late a remarkable ghost story. In his
early days. when he held the post Of sur.
geon to the prison at Lancaster, q negro
died in Jail, and a postmortem as well as
an inquest was necessary. After the in
quest the young surgeon saw the body
put in the coffin and the lid screwed
down, to be ready for The funeral next
day. Owen had at the time been already
attracted to the study of comparative
anatomy, and negroes heads were not
plentiful, so he made up his mind thai
this one should not be lost to the cause
of science. In the evening he returned
to the prison with a black bag contain.
ing a brick-from his official position he
had no difficulty in getting admittance
to the mortuary, where the coffin lid was
unscrewed and screwed down again.
During this process the brick and the
negro's head changed places.
The ground outside the principal en-
trance to the Jail has q considerable de-
scent, and the time being winter, with
snow and frost, Owen had scarcely passed
out when he slipped and fell all his length
the bag went from his hand, and the
head tumbled out and rolled down the
paved way. He got up, caught the bag,
and following the head clutched it just
as it finished its career in a small shop
where tobacco was sold. Pushing it into
thn hor o,roip 1o xy,r.,Lol -,,+ @f tl~o
shop with all the speed he was capable of.
Next morning, when Owen was going
to his usual duties at the prison, he was
called in by the woman at the shop where
the accident had occurred on the previous
evening. She wished him to see her hus-
band, who was very i'll. He had had, she
said, a fright the night before hat caused
him to look wild and dazedlike. The man,
it turned out, was a retired sea captain
who had been in many adventures among
the West India islands when many deeds
were done that did not at that time re-
quire to be accounted for. Among these
had been the killing of a negro in which
he had a hand, and the transaction had
left a touch of trouble on his conscience.
After giving these details the old captain
told of the horrible event that took place
the night before.
He was sitting in his shop. All was
quiet, and it so CHANGED that he had been
thinking of the negro, when suddenly he
say his very head roll into the shop in
front of the counter, and it was followed
by the devil all in black, witha black bag
in his hand. The devil snatched up the
head, and both disappeared through the
earth like a flash of lightning. The de-
scription was perhaps not quite compli-
mentary to the young anatomist, but it
was satisfactory so far that it showed that
his identity had not been recognized

Nm More CnhhIerS.

There is no sense in calling a shoe
maker Of modern times a cobbler. The
nearest thing to a cobbler today is the
custom made man who confines his at
tention exclusively to that one branch.
Machinery for making shoes in great
quantities and in sections is of compare
lively recent date, and prior to its adop,
ton the shoemaker, OF cobbler, did the
entire business, from taking the measure
to collecting the money. In small towns
and villages he literally performed the
entire process himself, having insufficient
trade to justify the employment of an
assistant, and in larger cities he superin-
tended the work from beginning to end
himself. The labor saving wonders Of
the times have practically swept this
man out of the field, and there are very
few members of the trade who are really
cobblers.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
