Joseph Jefferson Pays . Glowing Tributs
to the Dead Tragedian.
Americas greatest comedian, Joseph
Jefferson; Italy greatest tragedian, Tom
maso Salvini, and the leader of the Eng
lish stage, Henry Irving, were the princi-
pal figures in the Edwin Booth memorial
services held recently In the concert hall
OF Madison Square Garden. 4
After he had stated the order of the ex.
ercises Mr.. jefferson said: AL .F

is done, but can I quit this scene without
telling you how closely allied I was in
friendship with Edwin Boothi We were
boys together. He was but 10 years of
age when I first met him-the sweetest
natura and the most noble face I ever look
ed upon His splendid social and dra-
matte career was marked by me from its
beginning to its close. Pardon me If I
press too closely upon his early domestic
life, but I was the contidant between him
aud the sweet lady to whom he gave his
first love-was cognizant of his youthful
courtship, his carly marriage and the be-
reavement that followed after. I have
acted with him upon the stage and RAM

words Alright he considered no man happy
until he could enjoy the success Of his en-

the threshold from this world to the next.

only revealed to his friends, and even
these he would have concealed from all
eyes had it been possible. May l mention

why Snow Falls In flakes.

Snow falls to the earth in fakes be
cause it is water solidified in starlike
crystals, each snowflake being usually
made up of several crystals, which are
excessively light on account of the large
quantity of air among the frozen parti-
Giles. The snow crystals arise from the
slow passage of the water vapor of
clouds, when the temperature falls be
low freezing point, into the solid condi-
ton, the fairylike transformation taking
place by the molecule or smaltess indie
pendent particles of the water grouping
themselves with the utmost mathemat-
ical regularity around different centers.
Each crystal of snow, al of anything
else, is therefore a more Or less perfect
geometrical solid. The most complete
snow crystals are formed in a clear at
mosphere, where there is nothing to re-
tard the gradual process of crystalliza-
ton or molecular construction. Rain,
on the other hand, being a liquid, falls in
drops.-LOndOn Tit-Bits.

THE SEVENTH YEAR
Main Street VI. E. Sunday School
Of Durham
Celebrates the Seventh Successful Year
of Its Existence.
CAPT. II. N. SHOWS INFANT GLASS
The Remarkable Progress Made by the
Little Tots Under His Special
Charge.

/ Main Street Sunday school celebrated
its seventh anniversary yesterday, and as
was expected, the exercises were Of a
highly interesting character.
The services commenced at 800 D. m.
with singing by the school, followed by
! prayer, more songs, recitations, and an
address by Rev. T. n. Ivy. The singing
was exceptionally good, showing careful
musical training with much native talent
to build on. The address by Mr.. Ivy was
appropriate and we'll chosen, and was
listened to throughout with marked at.
t~ention.
The most interesting feature Of the
whole, however, was the concert recita-
ton by the infant class, consisting of
about sixty little boys and girls, 3 and >
years old, who, under the able instruction
Of Mr.. Fl n. Snow, displayed a knOwl.
| edge of the scriptures so far beyond their
years as to excite the wonder and adnIira-
ton Of all who heard them. The number
and anne of the books, first Of the old
and then of the new testament, the order
of books, divisions of the bible, and other
questions of a like nature were answered
with a readiness that put many old bible
students to shame and showed a fami-
liarity with the entire volume which
proved the value Of the system under
which they had beer enabled to recollect
so much of what is usually considered
difficult to retain.
More surprising yet was their giving in
concert the text for every Sunday in the
year with golden rule, subject, and i sy
nopsis of each. They repeated also the
first and tw~enty-third Psalms, and in
other ways bore convincing testimony to
the success of Mr.. Snow as an earnest
and able teacher and to his devotion in
Sunday school work.
The exercises yesterday were encOu
aging proof of the educational work 60
ing on in this city, and all who attended
were much pleased.

Washington Society.

The capital of the nation is infested
with a human insect that devotes its en-,
ergies to boring into places where it is
not wanted. Possibly its kindred exists
elsewhere, but there has been so much
freedom of access to the houses of men
wi ose careers depend upon popularity,
and so much dread among those in high
places of unwittingly trampling upon
influential feelings, that the breed is es-
pecially encouraged there. Then, again,
there are two notable features which
mark the society of the capitalize pres
nee of officials and statesmen who are
known far and wide, and the absence of
men who are distinguished in the sci
ences and the arts.-H. L. Nelson in
HarDer'S.

Siamming a Door.

To slam a door may be an evidence of
bad temper or bad manners, but it is
also a popular superstition that slam
ming a door is wicked. This belief is
undoubtedly due to a supposition enter
tanned by many nations that the souls of
the departed hover about the place where
they departed from their bodies. The
Indians of this country frequently howled
and beat the air with ~brushwood in or
der to drive away the spirit of the pris-
oner they had just killed.
The negroes Of the Congo abstain from
sweeping out their huts for a year after
a death has occurred for fear that the
dust may interfere with the spirit of the
departed. 1t IS in northern Europe that
the superstition concerning the slamming
of a door arose, the fear being enter
tanned that ONE spirit might be caught
in the slamming.-New York Telegram.

Human Curiosity.

The inventors of the penny i'll the slot
machines make their profit out Of hui
man curiosity, and their experience has
shown that a very comfortable revenue
can be derived from that source. Prob
ably few people have any idea of the
number of men, women and children
who daily buy chewing gum or other
~tri1es from machines, or learn their
weight by stepping upon a little plat
form and putting a cent where it will do
the most good. In a down town store
much frequented by those waiting for
cars is ne of the weighing machines,
which has a record of earning $50 in a
month. That means that in that time
1900 persons paid a penny apiece to see
the hand on the dial go round.-New
York Times.

The festive nocturnal rambler in quest

bons is again abroad in the land, and he
is doing much hard work, but as his la
bors are rewarded he feels amply re-
paid for whatever inconvenience he may
suffer.
Friday night the meat house of Henry
Latta, at the Edgar Cheek place was in
spected and the contents-thirteen hams
were confiscated, and Of course carried
away. The reckless disregard which
the theft showed for the unluCky number
thirteen, shows, perhaps that his case
was desperate and he was out of meat.
Ambition for possession has enriched

words Of love into the ample and waxen
ears of a flaxen haired girl in order that
he might possess her and call her his
through all the years; and why should
not the gentlemen, or gentleman who
had the hams, naturally yearn for eggs?
Ham and Eggs-as Colonel Webster
said in reply to Colonel Haine-one and
inseperable. Why Of course. This time
OF year eggs may be a little tardy-they
may have a sort Of centennial air a liu-
gering perfume which is not calculated
to inspire confidence. So he, the gentle.
man aforesaid reasoned to himself, we
imagine: | have the ham Why not
have some eggs? Fresh eggs. So he
looked about. And Saturday night Mr..
Buck Cooper lost thirteen hens-another
odd number-but see the circumstantial
evidence. Just a hen for each ham. See
Wasn't that a wonderful calculation.
Wasn't it an exhibition Of business from
the shoulder as John L.. Sullivan might
say. TO be sure it was. But that did
not satisfy the man who by the laws of
nations should have been happy and
who by the laws of nature should nave
been satisfied.
SO he continued and visited the chicken
house Of Colonel William Israel, where
lie laid his hands upon seven large and
juicy hens, and disappeared into space
and no officer or citizen pursued him.
1t seems that people who have chickens
and hams had better get a large and
