People Who Forget Umbrellas.

''Oh, that's nothing" said the clerk as
he gathered up the abandoned umbrella;
I'VE find them here every day."
1t was in a railroad office, where peo-
pie came and went every few minutes.
And it was raining too.
'Now, you'd think, he continued to
an amused gentleman, that anybody
who had sense enough to come in when
it rains would have enough left to take
their umbrella with them if they didn't
want to go in, wouldn't you? But they
haven't. There may be reason for n chap
going away and leaving his cane on the
counter, but can't exactly place those
who deliberately go out into the rain
and leave n silk umbrella behind them.
Yes, they come back sometimes-some-
times they don't. There must be some
thing in the fact of buying railroad tick
cts. You see, they are not used to tray
cling. Buying a railroad ticket is an
event to them. They show that by the
questions they ask. They have their
minds gorged with the important details
of the proposed journey, the time the
train is to start, the time it gets there,
the connections, the checking of baggage
and all that sort of thing, and they
haven't room for umbrellas and canes
and packages. It's the same on the cars. /"

Two Clever Statesmen.

The author of Twenty Years In Par
Lament" says that Lord Palmerston had
a natural buoyancy which his opponents
called audadity, but which seldom failed
to jerk him over a dangerous rut in the
road, not always without splash, but
generally without harm.
One crisis in his ministerial life illus
trates tho absolute good humor which
may prevail even when political enmity
is at its worst. Lord Derby, the father
of the present earl, had made an attack
upon him in the upper house with such
energy and eloquence that the odds
against him seemed overwhelming. But
he defended himself and his policy from
the dusk of one day to the dawn of an
other with such tact, dexterity and force
of appeal to the national sense of honor
that he was acquitted of all blame by a
majority of fourscore.
Next day, in passing through the cor
ridor leading from an anteroom to the
upper house, one swing door opened to
his hand, and at the same moment the
other to that of Lord Derby. They
were opponents, but they were also
manly and sweet natured men. They
smiled.
II was just thinking" said Palmer
ston, what clever fellow he was who
so nearly put me in a hole!"
"Ahr' was the rejoinder. But moth
ing like the cleverness of the fellow who
got you out of it!'

Did You ever stop to consider, asked
Lemuel Hunter, why it is that when
man is burned out he always overesti-
mates his loss about 200 per cent? This
is more particularly the case with fires
in frame building towns. where the loss
to the building is generally assessed at
between three and four times what it
cost TO erect it. raised this question
not long since with man who was
burned ont. He said the loss to his build
ing was $1,000, but he proposed to re-
build at an expenditure of 81, 200 and
have better building. When ques-
toned the logic of his calculation. he
promptly corrected me by pointing out
that the real estate on which the build
ing stood was worth fully 81 900, and al
though he didn't pretend to argue that
the site had been burned up he seemed
to think himself perfectly justified i'll in
Guiding the value of the - feet frontage in
his estimate of loss. No one was injured by
the calculation, and the good man was
perfectly justified in making it if he de-
sired, but if his idea is general one it is
not surprising that losses generally are
greatly overestimated." -St. Louis Globe

of this individual object, it might, for
anything we could tell, lie beneath q
mighty ice foe in the arctic regions; it
might be miles deep in the Caribbean
sea; it might be basking on the surface
in the equatorial regions; it might be
tossed in the surf on the shores of st.
Helena; it might be floating at tho
mouth of the Amazon; it might be off
the Cape of Good Hope or amid the
Antarctic icebergs.
Would any reasonable man who de-
sired to obtain that unique and extraor
binary specimen for his collection i'm
agine that if he went down to the coast
of Cornwall and lifted a single drop from
the Atlantic he would have such incon-
ceivably good fortune as to find in it
this rare diatom of which but a single
individual existed throughout the mil
lions of cubic miles of water which COM
pose that mighty ocean? of course the
mere statement of such n case is sufa-
cient to show its absurdity. But the
improbability that the ardent naturalist
would secure the prize in the way have
described is not one whit greater than
the improbability that even if there wero
a central sun it should lie within the
domain of our scrutiny.-Sir Robert
Ban In Fortnightly Review.
