The People Who Enjoy Fun.

People so fond of humor that the ri
diculous is of more Importance to them
than their welfare will be highly gratified
by the proposition of the railroad lines
east and west to run excursions to the
Worlds fair at one fare for the round
trip. The joke is as rich in quality as it
is large in quantity. Thirty hours is the
length of time mentioned as making the
trip from New York to Chicago. No
stop over checks will be allowed. No
sleeping cars will be provided, no parlor
cars, no chair cars. The jolly excursion
ist. it is supposed, will sit bolt upright
in the redolent atmosphere which hangs
about the day coach as the result of
long contact with tobacco, cold lunches,
decayed fruit and perspiration. and for
80 hours, with no opportunity to stop off
for sickness. will watch the changing
landscape with open and bloodshot eyes.
When he arrives at the Worlds fair, he
will be permitted to stay one week if he
is alive.
No provision is made for extending the
time to persons for whom the joys of the
excursion have been too poignant and
who may be required to spend two or
three weeks in the hospitals recovering
from the delirium of insomnia or the ty-
phoid fever which they have picked up
in the holiday coach. Chicago Herald.

SHE HAD SWAPPING EYES
MRS. SIMPSON SEEKS A DIVORCE
FROM HER HUSBAND.
She IL a Graceful Yonng Woman Who
Has No Use for Her Husband.
Judge Pierce's Very
Proper Ruling.

Proceedings for alimony were heard
by Judge Pierce yesterday in depart
ment six of the superior court in the
case OF Mrs. Grace NJ. Simpson against
her husband, George A. Simpson.
Mrs. Simpson is quite graceful
young womon with determined features
and swapping eyes, and was not at all
backward in showing that she did not
have much use for Mr.. Simpson. She
was represented by J. Marion Brooks.
She referred to her married experience
with bitter expression in her voice
that indicated that she had discovered
some OF the features of domestic bliss to
be illusions as far as she was con-
cerned.
Her husband, who was present with
Ben Goodrich az counsel, flushed hotly
under some of her disparaging remarks,
particularly those in which she charged
MIN with not supporting her as he
should have done, and the. failure to
provide her with proper clothing.
1t transpired that Mr.. Simpson is re-
ceiving salary of $l5 per week and it
became the problem for Judge Pierce to
properly apportion this amount 30 that
it would do the most good.
lie said he saw no reason why Mrs.
Simpson could not make $5 a week.
She had been making some money, had
the furniture and was with her mother.
He heretofore ordered that Mr.. Simpson
pay her $5 week, and with what she
could earn it would make their funds
about equal.
Then came the esubject about costs and
attorneys fees. The court made the
lawyers take back seat upon this sub
jsct. He said that the princely stipend
OF the young man would not accomplish
everything, and that he would not make
an order which would involve the per.
formance OF an impossibility. He or
dered him to pay SO week towards the
costs of the suit, and the attorneys' fees
could be considered at the conclusion OF

The Motion of Swimming Fish.

One of the most recent applications Of
chrono-photography-by which is meant
photography applied by means of a series
of short and rapid exposures to the rep
resentation of moving objects in success
sive positions-has been devised in France
for the study of the swimming motions
Of fish. A rayfish was chosen as the sub
ject of investigation, and the successive
photographs were taken at intervals of
one-tenth Of second. They show COM
pletely the movement of the fins and
present similarity to the photographs
that have been obtained of the motions
of the wings of flying bird.
The swimming action begins with a
lifting Of the front part of the fin. This
lifting motion runs rapidly backward
along the fin, the front part being in the
meantime depressed once more, and just
before the motion ceases at the tail the
movement recomnences at the front end

not form q suitable opportunity for
communication with the American gov
ernment, apart from the question
whether the passage OF such a bill by
congress will justify the opening Of com.

TWILIGHT.

Slowly dies the long June day,
Softly rolls the earth away,
Lovelier light at length divining,
All a dream Of misty bloom,
Trembling stars and golden gloom,
Larger heavens and sweeter shining
Which is dearer, dusk or day?
Where the glory dyed the dark,
Lost in light the ruby spark,
Violet gieam and saffron splendor,
hIelt and mingle into one,
When the long June day is done,
All the depths throb close and tender
Is it day, or is it dark?
Love! the long June day had life,
Silver showers and sunny strife
Now its rosy wrath fades DER us!
Eld's vast twilight fills our eyes,
Yet what freedom of the skies
Parts the star sown way before US
Is it death, or is 1t life?
