Thought He Could ,Jump.

A young man the other day got an um-
brella where the bottle got the cork-in
the neck. This young man is one Of
those fellows who can readily explain to
you that nothing that any one else can
do is really as difficult as it appears. He
joined local gymnasium not long ago,
and after watching the members once or
twice going through their exercises came
away with the feeling that he was full
fedged athlete. Walking on East Court
street alongside of the Jail. he espied two
women ahead of him walking abreast
and carrying basket Of freshly washed
clothes between them. The street being
narrow at this point. they took up the
full width. The young man, being in a
hurry, thought he could save time by
jumping over the basket, but his calcu-
lation was not acute enough, and he
kicked some of the wash off. After
walking few steps he turned around to
ascertain the result of his maneuver and
was just in time to see an umbrella
hurled at him by the unerring aim of an
enraged woman. He tried to dodge, but
was too slow.-Cincinnati Commercial

ana fork, a plate, a jug OF water, and
another jug-a smaller one-of beer, and
bporringer for soup, which is the chief
alet OF the Trappists. Very thin soup it
Is, the ingredients being water, chopped
vegetables, bread and little oil or but
ter.
Until few years ago no oily matter,
whether vegetable or animal, was al
lowed IN the soup, nor was it permissi-
bic, except N case of sickness, to have
more than one meal day, but the ne
cessity Of relaxing the rule a little was
realized. Now, during the six summer
months Of the year, there are two meals
a day-namely, at IL and 6, but In win
ter there is still only one that is called
meal, and this is at 4. There Is, how
ever, gouter-just something to keep
the stomach from collapsing-at 10 in
the morning. No fish, nor flesh, nor ami
NAL product, except cheese and butter,
is eaten by these Trappists unless they
fall Ill, and then they have meat or any
thing else that they may need to make
them well. There is, however, very lit
tie sickness among them.
The living of each Trappist probably
costs no more than sixpence day TO the
community. Assuming that the money
brought into the common fund by those
who have private fortune-the fathers,
as rule, are men Of some independent
means covers the establishment ex-
penses, and the taxation imposed by the
state, there must remain a considerable
profit on the work of each individual,
whether he labors in the fields or in the
dairy and cheeserooms, or concerns him
self with the sales and the accounts, or,
like the porter at the gate, tests with an
instrument the richness of the milk that
is brought in by the peasants, lest they
who have been befriended by the monks
in sickness and penury should steal from
them in return.
To devote this surplus obtained by a
life of sacrifice, compared to which the
material misery of the beggars whom
they relieve is luxury, to the lessening
Of human suffering, to the encourage
ment of the family. offering the hand Of
charity to the worthy and the unworthy,
expecting no honor from all this, and
not even gratitude, is a life that makes
that of the theoretical philanthropists
and humanitarian philosophers look ra-
ther barren.-Temple Bar.

HIS WIFE SHAVED HIM.

She Wasn't Going to Be Late to Church If

The story was told by talkative man
who was evidently frsm the country.
The barber drew it out by the usual ques-
tion asked of new patrons, DO you shave
YOURSELF"
"Not much" wa. the reply. Does
my face look as if did?'
The barber confessed that his face was
In good condition, whereupon the talka-
tive man added, with a chuckle:
"And l don't usually get shaved by
any barber, either"
"How's that?" asked the barber.
"My wife shaves me-" answered the
talkative man, with another chuckle.
"She's done it every day for five years."
he added, "and amt never had any rea-
son to complain of her work"
"Who taught her the trader" asked the
barber, becoming interested.
Learned it herself. 1t came about
this way: One Sunday morning soon aft
or we were married started off to bar
ber shop to get shaved before going to
church. The shop was crowded, as /
knew it would be- But as I'd never been

waited for my favorite barber. who Of
course was everybody's favorite too.
And when l finally got home it was pref
ty late. l thought my wife would get
tired of waiting, you see, and go on to
church alone, expecting me TO follow.
But she hadn't. She sat with her things
on, and when l saw her l was prepared
to catch it," and the talkative man gig
gled refectively.
"And did you catch itT' prompted the
barber.
"Well, she wanted an explanation, and
Of course told her the usual story about
having to wait.
"'Well.' says she, you won't do no
more waiting around barber shops while
you and 1 live together. You can shave
yourself in future
No, can't says 1. I cut my face.
"'Then I'll shave you,' says she.
"'You can't says L.
"'Yes, can,' says she, and will

her and keep peace in the family was to
let her try it once, so the next Sunday /
submitted, telling her beforehand that
if she didn't give me clean shave and
no cuts, wouldn't go to church. Well,
sir, she gave me as good a shave as l ever
got from a barber, and after that let
her keep it up, and I've never been sorry
for it. l tell you, it's luxury there
can't many poor men afford"

Paderewski as a Hard Worker.

To be a pet of the public sometimes
has its disadvantages. NJ. Paderewski,
for instance, keeps up his reputation only
at the cost of tremendous efforts. To
an interviewer for Black and White he
has confded the fact that he practices
at the piano often for Is or 16 hours a
day. Once, in New York, he had to work
up eight entirely distinct programmes in
little over as many days, and then it was
a case of II hours practice daily. One
must always be at it, he explains, to
keep the fingers right and the memory
active. The work is certainly tiring,
and M. Paderewski considers that play
ing billiards-a game he is very fond of
has saved his life by affording him the
necessary relief from his arduous work.
Those crashing blows of his on the
piano are not, as some might imagine,
made with the closed fist. Sometimes
they are done with the third finger stiff
ened out, sometimes with the thumb
sideways. He seems to see nothing Won
derful in the effect produced, although
his hands are so delicate that an ordi-
narily firm shake makes him vince. 1t
is true that he has forearm such as a
professional strong man might envy, SO
perfect is it in its muscular develop

Ancient Stationers.

In medieval times the stationarius, or
ktationer, held official connection with a
university and sold at his stall, or sta
ton, the books written or copied by the
ibrarius, or book writer. Such is the
origin of the modern term stationer, one
who now keeps for sale implements of
such service, and not usually the pro-
ductions OF literary persons.-Harper's

The watchman Stood the Test.

After several houses at Islip had been
robbed by burglars Mr.. W. B. Cutting
employed watchman to guard his place
at night. 1t occurred to Mr.. Cutting
last week to go out on the piazza late at
night to see if the watchman was alert.
He did so and had only taken a few steps
when pistol shot rang out and bull
let whizzed past his head. Then he re-
treated. fully satisfied with his watch

walls and five long, narrow tables. with
benches ON each side, stretching from

The tables were laid for the first meal.
There were no cloths, and it is almost
needless to add that there were no nap

essential in France that even in the most
wretched auberge one is usually laid be-
fore the guest. Trappists, however, have

The opening of the railroad into the
wild region back Of Harvey Lake pro-
misses to develop a section of large re-
sources, says the Wilkes Barre Leader.
The railroad was built primarily to
get an outlet for the lumber which is
being cut for distance of about
thirty miles into Sullivan county. But
an unlocked for source of wealth has
been discovered in the shape of semi.
bituminous coal. Prospectors who
have travelled the mountains recently
say that in several places along Bow
mans Creek streaks of coal may be
seen. In one place a vein eighteen
inches in thi, kness was uncovered,
and plans are being made to develop
it. On Dutch Mountain, a solitary
spot in the wilderness, coal has been
found near the surface, and the owner
of the land has given up numbering
and is now digging coal from the
mountain sides and hauling it away on
wagons. He sells it at his ''mine" fol

Tansy Kills Moths.
CERTAIN DEATH TO THE LITTLE PESTS
THAT COME IN THE SPRING

There is one sure preventive of
moths, and one which l have never
seen mentioned. 1t is tansy. Spr nkle
the leaves freely about your woolens
and furs, and the moths will never get
into them. When I was a child my
grandmother used to send me to the
tansy patch on the hill with large
basket in which to bring home plenty
Of tansy leaves. In the garret were
five large hair-covered trunks, studded
with brass nails, filled with her best
blankets, coverlets, flannel sheets, etc.
Some of them had never been used
until my grandmother had grandchil.
dren, Notwithstanding she always had a
large family to provide beds for. But
tine supply of her bedding, linen and
other household articles was in excess
OF the demand.
This large amount of bedding, table
cloths, towels and linen sheets was
spun and woven in her fathers house,
and the girls were given full liberty to
take all they were willing to make up
for themselves. This was part of their
marriage dover. l can well remember
how grandmother took the extra sup
ply out Of those trunks in the garrett
once a year, hung the articles on a
clothes line down in the orchard, beat
them, and then put them away again
to lie amid the tansy leaves until an
other year. The fourth generation of
her posterity are sleeping under those
same blankets and blue and white COW
erlets now. which proves the efficacy
of that remedy of the olden time

Audiences in the Opera House have
been annoyed for long time past, by
gang of boys who come quietly up
the stairs to the landing, and then
while the performance is going on,
they all rush pell-mell down stairs with
great noise, and repeat the same thing
intervals during the entire evening.
No successful efforts seem to nave
been made to put stop to this dis
turbance. On Monday night just after
the Bliss Concert had begun, a dozen
of these boys tried the same old rack
ct. but they were met at the foot OF
the stairs by man who was just en-
tering, and who seized one Of the boys
that was jumping down the stairs, and
held him until Chief of Police Knorr
was summoned from the hall. The
boy was turned over to the officer,
who took him up as far as the Town
Hall and then let him so, on promise
of future good behavior. The boy is
known to be one of the ring leaders
in the business, and if he repeats II
he wi not get off SO easily next time
There was not the slightest noise on
the stairs the remainder of the perfor'
nance, which shows that it require:
only one or two examples to put stoT
to this mischievous practice.
