Plays For Youn. Girls.

Many wise mothers think that the
theater should be reserved for adult life.
They regard it as stimulant and to be
unnecessary for the growing mind. It
may be compared TO those drugs which
relieve headache by affecting the heart.
Still the mother who would make of
her girl "a woman holy and wise" will
not exclude the theater. But outside Of
some special representations of Shake
speare she will select only simple plays,
such as RIP Van Wrinkle" Sweet Law
ender," wholesome comedy where the
deep passions of life are not exhibited.
where the sinful follies of youth are not
presented for sympathy and for commits
Grafton.
There is one other class of plays which
she may some time allow for the same
reason that she cheerfully provides 70
nance in books, and that is the real, old
fashioned melodrama in which the hero
is triumphant, the villain is brought to
justice and all comes out right in the
end. Such treat is like the '.frolics"
at surprise parties and straw rides, which
were enjoyable because Of their rarity

People Who Forget U.nbrellas.

'Oh, that's no,.Iny." said the clerk as
he gathered up the abandoned umbrella;
1--WE find them here every day"
1t was in 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 a 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 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 trav-
cling. Buying 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"

A Central sun In the Universe.

Suppose that in the wide extent of the
Atlantic ocean there WAS I e individual
diatom of specially interesting charac-
teri do not mean one species with its
myriad Individuals, but one solitary
specimen of a particular microscopic or
ganism, which happened to flourish some
where or other il the north or south
Atlantic ocean at some depth or other
from the surface.
Suppose that absolutely nothing fur
Their was known as to the whereabouts
of this individual object, it might, for
anything we could tell, lie beneath
mighty ice foe IN the arctic regions; it
might be miles deep III the Caribbean
sea; it might be basking on the surface
il the equatorial regions; it might be
tossed in the surf on the shores of St.
Helena; it might be floating at the
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 Il 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 cutie miles OF water which com
pose that mighty ocean? Of course the
mere st@temllt OF such Il case is suEi-
cient to show is ahsLr,ity. But the
improbabili,y tl"5 the. ardent naturalist
would secure the prize IL the way have
described is not one whit greater than
fle improbaLility that even if there were
central sun it should lie within the
domain of CTR scrutiny.-S5ir Robert
Ball in Fortaisatly Review.

That ooon of Rueger's, which has
been s:,untering ssround the lamppost
on the corner of Ninth and Banks streets
from time to time during the past three
months, made things lively Sunday after

and wished to dispose of him. The coon
was accordingly turned over to Mr.. Fox,
who was to sell him. He was kept at

everybody was away, there bee gan gen
eral havoc on the part OF the animal
Climbing over partition in show win

slnian rabbits. Only one of the pets was
left to tell the tale. His coonship then
dined upon handsome Brahma cock in
the rear of the establishment and after
ward proceeded to deprive beautiful
tropical song bird of his plFmage.
He next made an attack on a number
of goldfish, and when his appetite was
satisfied there wasn't a single representa-
tive of the piscatorial tribe left in the
aquarium. Several other deIredations
We're committed, and his coonship was
making preparations to exterminate ev-
cry valuable bird in the establishment
when two festive coppers crawled over
the transom and put an end to his calcula-
tons. He was carried back to Rueger's,
but soon effected his escape and made it
lively for the squirrels in the Capitol
square. A small regiment of small boys
We're in pursuit of the animal, which

The Science of Nose Study.

Not the least charm of the science of
'.nasology" is the chance which it offers
to the historian of testing the characters
OF eminent men by its rigid and unbend-
ing standard.
The historical value of gems and en-
cravings cannot fail to be enhanced by
their bearing on this most interesting
subject, and the moral value of axioms
and actions whose spring has long been
doubtful may be solved by reference to
the nasal developments of their authors.
Apologists for the money making i'm
pulse which it pleased Adam Smith to
ascribe to human action will, for in
stance, no longer be able to urge that
come such theory was necessary to a log
ical system of political economy
Adam Smith possessed the Jewish nose
in its highest development. The nose is
the reflex of character, and the ''naso-
logical" political economist will brush
aside apologies and estimate the bias of
the father of the science not by the ne
cessities of theory, but by the hard
Facts of his Semitic profile.-London

Mourning PaDer.

Mourning paper is satire in itself. It
wears the deepest possible black margin
for the first six months, say. Then it
grows little narrower. Is that sign
that you are not mourning so much as
you were during the first half year?
Next year it is narrower still. The grief
is greatly mitigated. The third wear it
is mere streak. Your sorrow does not
amount to much now! The next wear
the black border has entirely disap-
peared. Does that mean that you have
forgotten your bereavement? That would
be the logical Interpretation, and yet in
the case of how many whose stationery
has gone through this diminishing per
spective to the vanishing point the sor-
row has been even more bitter after
years perhaps than it was at first.-Bos-

A SUPERNATURAL STORY.

The Contents of Paper Found on the Per-
son OF Insane Suicide.
Here is story of the supernatural. 1t
happened more than 100 years ago, so
that you may hope that it is not true.
Yet in those days the invention of news
was not yet known, and the paper which
contains this story wss a sober and hon
est journal. One of the patients in a
madhouse-a parish madhouse, l think
that of aunceston-escaped. That was
no new thing. They all wanted to es-
cape. AS the woman, although very
mad indeed, was quite harmless, they
went about their search in a leisurely
fashion. At last they found her drowned
in shallow ditch and carried her back
to the madhouse.
On preparing the unhappy woman for
the grave they found in her corset-then
called her stays-something that rustled.
They cut the thing open and discovered
small parcel rolled up tight in some
waterproof stuff-whatever was then in
vented. The parcel was a document
written on parchment. 1t was written
very small ana Inisspelled, but this was
how it ran:
THE man came along after dark. He
stopped at our door and said he was
a stranger. ami would my aunt take him
in for the MI n He seemed a sailor
and said he WAS respectable and showed
money. Elizabeth said aunt, he can
have your room, and you shall sleep with
me- There We're two bedrooms in the
cottage, up a ladder, both garrets. Dur

drink, and lac had lot and was drunk,
but he got up the ladder safe and SO to
bed. In the night / heard aunt get out
of bed. There was moon shining in
the skylight window.
''She took something and went into
the mans room. Then was frightened
and sat up in bed. and heard sound
as of a blow and nothing more. Present
~ aunt came back, and in the moonlight
she saw me sitting up in bed. Get up
she said; go down stairs and get, if you
can, light So 1 did and brought the
rushlight up the ladder. Aunt had the
Bible in her hand. Swear she said,
that you will never tell any one what
has been done So l swore, trembling,
and wished l might go suddenly mad if
told. Then says she, I've killed the
ledger. His pockets were full of guineas,
and I'm a made woman. But you must
help me-
80 she made me help to drag the body
down into the room below and out in the
garden, where we dug hole under the
| cabbages and laid it as deep as we could
Then we covered all up and went back
to the house and waited till daybreak
AS soon as it was light we washed up the
place, and nobody ever found out. One
night, when l was a woman grown, the
dead man came to my bedside and said,
Tell the story and said, I cannot, be-
cause l swore.' He said If you tell, you
have sworn TO so mad. If you do not
tell, will haunt you till you do go mad.
$50, as l am bound to go mad either
way, have written the story down and
sewn it up. When l am dead, somebody
will find it and will dig up the poor man
/ and bury him in a churchyard The
| house is situated"
Thus the narrative. And they dug up
the garden in the place indicated and
found the dead body in what had been
sailors clothes.-Walter Besant in Lon

StarbOard and Larboarti.

The Italians derived ''starboard" from
questa borda, 'this side, >" and s'larboardn
from quella borda, which means that
side" Abbreviated these two phrases
appear as sta borda and la borda. Their
close resemblance caused so many mis-
takes that the admiralty ordered the
"larboard" to be discontinued and port"
substituted. Port" for cardboard" is
