Peculiar Acoustic Qualities OF This Vault

One of the famous curiosities Of the
Mammoth cave is the Echo river, q body
of water estimated TO be some three
fourths OF mile in length. and from
twenty To two hundred feet in breadth
It's depth at ordinary times is from ten
to forty feet DIR. Fl. C. Hovey, in q
paper read before the American Geo

ton of the peculiar acoustic qualities

arched.

effect of rocking the boat as violently

found its duration to be exactly half an
hour. First came sounds like the tink-
ling of silver bells. Then larger and
heavier bells took up the melody as the
waves sought out the cavities in the
walls Then it was as If all chimes of
all cathedrals had conspired to raise q
tempest of sweet sounds.
For a moment there was utter silence,
soon broken by low mutterings, ghostly
whispers, sudden shrieks, a. if of men
in agony. Then silence again. We
were about to speak, when the guide
motioned to as to remain quiet; when,
10! as from some deep recess, hitherto
forgotten, came tone tender and pro-
found; after which, like gentle mem
cries, all the mellow and mysterious
sounds that had gone before were re-
awakened, until the hall rang again
with the wondrous harmony.

OVERRIDING Hospitality.

A mistake which many housewives
make is that of OVERRIDING the luxury
department of their tables for the ad-
vantage of visitors. 1t should be re-
membered that one cannot worry in
the kitchen over multitudes of unwon-
ted delicacies and shine in the parlor
or the sitting-room with that sweet
aess of mind and expression that is
more charming than any culinary
triumph; if the table be simple,
adequately and neatly provided, the
feast will meet the full approval of all
sensible guests.
In the case of several guests present
at the same time, whether merely
callers or otherwise, the hostess should
take care not to neglect any by giving
exclusive attention to others. Par
ticularly in the case Of retiring or
difiident persons, pains shonld be
taken to make them interested in and
acquainted with all who are present.

Pat,s Ready Retort.

A bishop was travelling in mining
county and encourted an old Irishman
turning a windlass which hauled up
ore out Of shaft. 1t was his work to
do this all day long. His hat was off
and the sun pouring down on his un-
protected head.
"Don't you know the sun will injure
your brain ii you expose it in that
manner" said the good man.
The Irishman wiped the sweat off
his forehead and looked at the clergy

Confessions of a Middleman

"What becomes OF the old and
spoiled poultry?" we asked ofa man
formerly in the commission business
"What the 'fruit?' That's what we
call poultry too ripe to sell man with
a good nose"
"Yes, where does it go to?"
"Most of it is worked off at big
profit by Cheap Johns, who buy it up
on purpose"
"How do they get people TO buy
it?"
4They stick up sign offering poul-
try very cheap. Some economist
comes along and picks out fine bird {.
The dealer goes behind the counter to
DO up neat job. Out he comes with
fine package, and the buyer goes
home thinking he has made bargain
that will tickle his wife to death .
When he opens the package that bird
is strong enough to knock man
down, and they have to throw ii
away. How was it done? Sim ply
enough. He didn't get the bird he
picked out at all. That dealer had
lot of fruit under the counter all
nicely packed. While the customers
eye was turned he slyly substituted
the 'fruit'for the good bird. Very
likely he gave him short weight, too,
by having fine wire running from
the bottom of the scales where he
could press it with his foot. When
the customer comes back to make a
row about it, the dealer never saw
him before in his life!"
"Is that the worst Of it?"
"No, lots of this fruit is eaten.
