The Lisping Lieutenant Finally Gets De.
cided1y Even for Past Jokes.
A good story is told by an English pa
per of a lisping officer having been vic
timized by a brother officer (who was
noted for his cool deiberation and
strong nerves), and his getting square
with him in the following manner:
The cool joker, the captain, was al
ways quizzing the lisping officer. lieu
tenant. for his nervousness, and said
one day in the presence OF his company:
'Why, nervousness is all nonsense.
l tell you, lieutenant, no brave man
will be nervous"
SWELL, inquired his lisping friend.

"How," said the captain, winking at
the circle; ''why, take it cool. and spit

into the captains quarters, where a
fire was burning on the hearth, placed
in its hottest center a powder canister
and instantly retreated.
There was but one mode of egress
from the quarters, and that was upon
the parade ground, the road being built
up for defense. The occupant took one
look at the canister, comprehended the
situation, and in a moment dashed at
the door, but it was fastened on the
outside.
Charley, let me out, if you love mel"
shouted the captain.
"Thpit on the canister!" shouted he
in return.
Not moment was to be lost. He
had at first snatched up a blanket to
cover his egress, but now, dropping it,
he raised the window, and out he
bounded, sans every thing but very
short undergarment, and thus, with
hair almost on end, he dashed upon a
full parade ground.
The shouts which hailed him brought
out the whole barracks to see what was
the matter, and the digni6ed captain
pulled a sergeant in front Of him to
hide himself.
''Why don't you thpit on it?" in
quired the lieutenant.
Because there were no sharpshoot-

the captain.

EDUCATION OF THE NOSE.
The Neglected Sense OF Smell May Fave
Great Possibilities.

The Neglected Sense Of Smell May Fave
Great Possibilities.
With all the developments OF human
knowledge and the improvements in
the methods of education. there mas
been a strange lack of appreciation OF
the improvement OF the sense OF
smell The modern systems of education
are supposed to be aimed at the
bringing to perfection OF all the
powers of body and mind, and
yet one has ouly to consider
a little to realize how limited their rec
ignition OF the needs and possibilities OF
senses really is The faculties both OF
taste and smell are particularly ignored
By modern educators The art OF gas
tronomy does something for the
sense OF taste, but the sense OF
smell has not even the benefit OF
indirect education. 1t Is ignored ana
neglected as completely as ii there was
no knowiegd OF its existence
Yet the capabilities OF this sense are
by no means small On the merely
utilitarian side it is easy TO see that u

sensitive it would be able TO be o. IL

Art at Home.

The subject of lampshades is so far
from being exhausted that designs Of
great beauty and often of the most un-
looked for oddity have appeared. A
new one of these last is dolphin which
crosses the middle of the lamp. the
shade portion consisting of plated silk
paper which represents sea foam coming
from its mouth. A very handsome de-
sign shows blue lilies at the top, placed
very high, and rosebuds running
around the wide platte paper which
covers the glass chimney-Chicago

she could not stop to watch with her
eyes. In rare instances men in especial
lines have trained their sense of smell
the dealers in dairy products, and in
some other goods, determining the quail
ity and condition of their goods BY
smelling them, but this is an excep-
tional matter which is far more apt to
excite the amusement of others than to
call attention to the possibilities which
lie neglected in the nerves of the nose.
The animal kingdom should long ago
have given man the hint to cultivate
this sense. It is true that animals are
often furnished with nerves of far great
err ,delicacy and reach than those of
man, but is is after all only the visible
sign of what is the result of continued
neglect to any functions of the body.
If men had given decent attention to
the sense of smell they would not now
need to be outdone in this particular by
the beasts of the wilderness If
proper amount OF systematic training
and development of the nerves of smell
could be generally practiced by man
kind for q generation or two it would
undoubtedly be found that the wild an
imals were in this particular not neces-
sarily so far in advance of man as to
make it impossible for him to oyertake
them.
The delicacy Of the perceptions which
ally themselves to the sense of smell
has often been commented upon and
this in itself should suggest the adj
visa bility of making much of it The
mind seems especially sensitive to the
suggestion of odors and yet this fact
has never been properly taken advant-
age of. 1t is time for the recognition
of the ACCESSIBILITY of developing all the
possibilities of the human body. As it
stands at present sight and hearing are
made to do pretty much all the work
of the perceptions and it is time that
the other senses were called upon to do
their share. Let the sense Of smell be
trained and its possibilities studied.
Who can tell to what important results
this might lead?-Boston Courier.

INDIAN HOSPITALITY,
1t Proceeds From q Law Made Necessary
by Circumstances.

by Circumstances.
The hospitality which is so marked a
trait of our North American Indians,
says Maj. Powell in his late ethnolog
ical report to the Smithsonian institu
ton, has it's source in a law, the in
variable practice of which has had a
marked effect in retarding the acquisi
ton by the Indian of the virtue of
providence. AS is well known, the
basis of the Indian social organization
was the kinship system. By its pro-
visions almost all property was
possessed in common by the gems or
clan.
Food, the most important part of all,
was by no means left to be exclusively
enjoyed by the individual or family
obtaining it. For instance, the distri-
button of game among the families of
hunting party was variously provided
for in different tribes, but the practical
effect of the several customs relating
thereto was the sharing of the supply.
The hungry Indian had but to ask to
receive, and this no matter how small
the supply or how dark the future pros
pect. 1t was not only his privilege to
ask; it was his right to demand.
Undoubtedly, what was originally
right, conferred by kinship connec-
tions, ultimately assumed broader pro-
portions, and finally passed into the
exercise of an almost indiscriminate
hospitality.
By reason of this custom, the poor
hunter was virtually placed upon
equality with the expert one, the lazy
with the Industrious the improvident
with the more provident. Stories OF In
dian life abound with instances indi-
vidual families or parties being called
upon by those less fortunate or provi-
dent to share their supplies. The eff
feet of such system, admiral bic as it
was in many particulars, practically
placed a premium on idleness. Under
such communal rights and privileges
potent spur to industry and thrift Is
wanting. Press

The Missouri Pacific Railway company

The Missouri Pacific Railway company
has placed in its train service the most ele-

MISSISSIPPI river. These cars now run
daily between Wichita and St. Louis and
Wichita and Denver. They are models of
beauty and comfort. The chairs are spa

of the very latest design. Every car is
equipped with the celebrated Pintsch gas
light system whereby passengers can read
as well as by daylight; also doing ava

Several Thousand Living Specimens Caro-
fully Tended In One Room.
Many will be inclined to discredit
the statement that spider-raising is an
established industry in Chattanooga,
and is being successfully conducted by
Ernest Reyber the proprietor of the
Enterprise bottling works on Cowart
street. Mr. Reyber estimates that be-
tween 5000 and 5000 of these insects
make their homes in his bottling de-
partment, which occupies large room
probably sixty feet square. The cell
ing is fairly covered with thousands
upon thousands of little patches Of
fibery material, within which the in
sects nest and lay their eggs At this
season they spend little time in their
nests, but in day time hide in dark,
out-of-the-way cracks and corners, but
in easy command OF their woven snareS.
Spider-webs are everywhere, span
ming the space between floor and cell
ing or spread about the machinery, in
front of the window-wherever, in
fact, the busy weavers can find a place
from which to hang their net work.
A big corner of the room is besides
given up to the insects. which have APP
parently divided the space into many
four-walled apartments.
Mr.. Reber is a pleasant and intelli-
gent taIker and shrewd observer. His
fair complexion betokens his Teutonic
descent Said he: ''Those creatures
know more than great many people,
/ keep them because they wage such
constant war on flies, cockroaches and
other such vermin which are very
troublesome to me, and which are at
tracted by the sirups, sugar, etc, used
in the bottling business. A spider
never cares for sweet things nor drops
into my watts or bottles. Flies and
cockroaches are natures scavengers,
but those spiders watch every one that
approaches like hawks, and soon lure
him into their meshes. 1 never dis
turb them when 1 can help it, except
to feed them occasionally. They APP
pear to know my call, and will come
when called and crawl upon my hand
or take fly from my fingers. They
are tame. and have never bitten me,

stranger. This spider is hibernat-
ing animal and shuts himself up
during the most of the winter in those
little nests you see stuck like mud
daubs on the ceiling. When winter
comes 1 brush away all these webs, for
the spiders prefer to weave new webs
every spring." AS cow must be milk
ed every day this wary and provident
little creature must unravel each
spring the silken fabric that is stored
in its body. He does not make his APP
pearance till May, when the flies have
laid their eggs and Matched their first
young, else the fly crop would soon
give out. Meantime the hundreds of
eggs which each female spider laid dur
ing the previous summer and fall have
been going through process of incuba-
ton, and now turn out the older ones
to seek living for themselves. Mr..
Reyber has encouraged the insects to
harbor in his esta blishment for two
years past, and finds the spider of such
practical utility as to be almost indis-
pensable .-Chattanooga Times.

FOR THE NURSERY.
Splendid Idea for Use in Case Of Childish
Illness or Accident.

Splendid Idea for Use in Case of Childish
Illness or Accident.
Did you ever hear tell of nursery
card? 1t is an Englishwoman's idea,
and it is capital one. 1t should be in
every house where there are children.
Listen to this: 1t is card about three
feet long and two wide, printed like
wall map intended to hang in the nur-
sery, of course. At the top of the
card is a blank space in which
is to be written the name and address
of the nearest doctor or the one you
would wish to have called in case of
accident. Then follows list of acct
dents most common with children and
the remedies to be applied-bruises and
sprains, bites, broken limbs, burns,
fits, commissions, fainting, nose-bleed
ing, scalds, stings, falls, poisons, sub
stances in the eyes, ears, nose, swal-
lowing coins, buttons, etc. Accompan-
in this card which is headed: What
to Do and How to Do It, is a small
box containing the remedies, some
court plaster, absorbent cotton and
lint.
That idea speaks for itself Servants
are apt to be ignorant and easily panic
stricken, and when the mother is at
home she is likely to be SO frightened
that her wits desert her and she is
helpless. Then the nursery card comes
into play and it's usefulness is proved.
