Merely Il SueeZe.

Sneezing is an indefnable physical
activity, which every one fully under
stands as a fact, but which no one
appreciates physiologically or scien-
tifcally. Noone can sneeze simply he
cause he would like to, and no one can
help sneezing when the physical inn
pulse demands it. The country"
theory is that you sneeze when cold
is looming on" and when it is ''going
off," In other words, one sneezes
when the system gets out of harmony
with it's native tone and when it gets
back into harmony Herewith. It is
not dignifed performance, adds
nothing to a mans pleasure, in no
sense enhances his pride. On the
other hand. it does no harm and is
in no sense humiliating. It's merely
a sneeze.-Journal of Education.

A Truthful Man.

There was no one but the proprie

or clothes came into the office and
cautiously closed the door behind him.

"Want somethin extra dirt cheap|
"What do you mean?"
"Cigars. These never saw the Gus

from under his arm and opened it,
Like many another individual, the
man in the Office was weak and ready
to profit at the governments expense
''How much2" he asked.
-Four dollars" was the answer.
The bargain was closed, and the
mariner started for the door.
''Hold on!'' exclaimed the other as
he bit sample of the goods. This
is domestic tobacco. Didn't I under.
stand you to say these cigars had
never seen the custom house?"
"Sure. What I meant was that
they had never been so far away

A Ghost Story.

was going by rail from Goldsboro
to Wilmington, N. G. 1t was on a
beautiful moonlight night, and hap
pened to look out of the window by
my seat just as something white
came out Of the woods. It followed
right along by the side of the train,
and called the attention of the other
passengers to it. Every one saw it
just as plainly as did, so it could
not have been hallucinatiOn.
The specter kept pace with the
train, and, wonderful to relate, would
sometimes run a little ahead, cross
the track in front Of the engine, and
run along the other side. Then
it would disappear altogether for
awhile, but to return again after a
few minutes.
"Was it the spirit of some poor
wretch who had lost his life on the
railroad?' asked young man.

The Kediseovsry Of Porcelain.

The xsdissovsry Of Poroslain. w
Although porcelain was known TO
both the Chinese and japanese for
ages it was not introduced into Eu-
rope until the beginning of the eight
eenth century, when John Bottcher,
q native of Schlaiz, in Voightland,
was the first to make it. This man
was apprenticed to Berlin apothe-
cary named Zorn, in whose shop he
conferred some favor upon pro-
fessed alchemist, who in return
promised to teach him the art Of
transmitting the baser' metals into
gold. Bottcher, after studying un-
der the new master for time, i'm
aRined that his fortune was made
and in 1900 ran away.
He was pursued, but found protec-
ton among friends, who demanded
to witness an exhibition of his pre-
tended skill, and the poor fellow was
eventually compelled to acknowledge
that he had been imposed upon.
But he persevered in his labors, and
on one occasion, having made mix
ture of finely organized earths for
the purpose of making strong cruel
bles, he discovered after he had TAX
en- the compound mass from the oven
that he had gained kind of pottery
more beautiful than he had ever
seen. The transmutation it may
therefore be said took place not in
the metals indeed, but in his own
person, for Bottcher was suddenly
changed from an alchemist to a pot
ter. In 1905 the first porcelain was
thus manufactured in Dresden. Be-
ing made Of colored clay it presented
a light brownish red hue, but as
early as 1909 a beautiful white porce-
lain was obtained, and its manufac-
ture was fully established during
the following years.-San Francisco

A Strange FOreshad O owing.

A strange foreshadowing occurred
in the life Of Plumer Ward, the nov
elist. In one of his works, DE We're, u
he delineated a character many of
the incidents in whose career were
founded on passages in the authors
own life. Hunting for a name for
the abode of this gentleman, he
CHANGED on "Okeover Hall, on which
he fixed.
Years afterward, by one of those
odd chances which happen oftener in
real life than in fiction, Mr.. Ward
found himself, as guardian Of his
wife's only son, the master of that
very ''Okeover Hail. the name of
which he had picked from among
a thousand others in a road book

A Straight Shot.

The young man was making him
self as disagreeable as man could
who didn't know any better, and she
was hoping the house would fall on
him or something.
"Some women he said in the
course of his remarks, "are pleased
by a brainless youth with hand
some face"
YES" she replied YEARLY, "but
I'm sure that doesn't apply in your
case"
Il hope not" he said conceitedly.

The S0uaw's Prudence.

One day Flying-By's wife came to
our tent and asked us to lend her a
small hand mirror which we possess
ed. We gave it to her, and then
watched her to see what she would
do with it. About a mile and a half
or two miles away horse race was
in progress, watched by three or
four hundred mounted Indians. The
squaw took the mirror, stood III
front of the tent and reflected beam
of sunlight from the glass along the
ground in line with the group of In
dams. 1t was only two or three
minutes before a solitary horseman
left the band and came tearing over
the prairie toward us. 1t was Flying
By, who sprang off his horse at our
door and looked inquiringly around.
His wife had gone back to her cook
ing and was apparently quite heed
less of his coming.
To his question whether some one
had not sent for him we could only
reply that we had seen his wife play
ing heliostat with our mirror, where
upon he went over and spoke to her.
In moment he returned and with
a grin told us that, knowing he had
money, his wife had called him home
for fear he might be tempted to gam
BILE it away. He chuclled over her
prudence and told us that he might
have made lot Of money if he had
staid, and not cross word was spo-
ken.-Si0ux Sketches III Outing

THE RepeMPTIokERs.

lgissriss Of tho Unfortunatesw Who Got Int
WIN Debt In Olden Times.
N In Daniel Defoe's time debtors
were frequently compelled in seek
ing means to extricate themselves
from their embarrassments to con.
sent to anything, if they thereby
could avoid the horrors of the debt
Ors' prison. In many cases they took
advantage of custom that in one
form or another had a sanction Of an
tiquity, and being generally ablebod-
led men they placed themselves in the
hands Of some merchant or agent,
who having effected an arrangement
with the creditors took possession Of
the unfortunate debtors, and hurry
ing them to the nearest seaport
shipped them abroad, generally to
Virginia or Maryland, as SO much
merchandise. Sometimes the dealer
accompanied his cargo in order, if
possible, to obtain better price at
the end Of the voyage.
Arrived at their destination the
captives-to give them their real
name-were sold to any planter
whose offer would recoup the agent
for the sum he had expended in pur
chase and transit and also allow him
a handsome profit. By the terms of
this sale the captive was bound to
serve his new master for several
years, his liberty being nominally
secured at the end Of that period,
and from the hope of redemption
and deliverance thus held out to
him tho term "redemI3oner came
to be applied to these u:llortunates.
But any hopes that the redemp-
toner might cherish of his ultimate
liberation soon proved fallacious,
and he found himself plunged into
fresh embarrassments long before
his period of servitude had expired.
Charges were made upon him for
clothing, for tobacco, even for the
necessaries Of life-charges which he
had no means of meeting, however
good his inclination, and too late he
found that he had, in fact, become a
slave, without money, without rights
and without hope. Such friends as
he had were in England and prob
ably had forgotten him altogether.
Perhaps if even they remembered
him they were without the means of
assisting him, and the chance OF
money reaching the individual for
whom it was intended Was in those
days very small. Pacific railways
and ocean greyhounds' were un-
known in tho good old times and
communication was slow and inse-
cure.
Some of these redemptioners were
of course more fortunate than others
and had friends and connections
more powerful and more kindly dis
posed and such often ultimately at
tanned their freedom. But these
were the exceptions, and generally
speaking the unhappy victim labored
on from year to year, his 'redemp-
ton" receding further and further
into the distance, till at LAST death
put an end to his su1ferings.-

MANAGER eARNEY's FRENCH.

gravely, nodding toward the bill,

age in French as well as in other
languages. I don't think anybody
can complain of that half sheet, "
and Mr.. Barney surveyed his handi-
work critically with one eye partly
closed.
DO you have any difficulty in
conversing with the members of the
organization2" I asked.
Not the least, replied Mr.. Bar
ney, with q nohchalant wave of his
hand. Il can understand every
thing they say without the slightest
mental effort. But l have noticed
that at times when addressed them
in their native tongue they have not
-er-followed me as closely as their
familiarity with their own language
would naturally suggest. They have
even seemed surprised occasionally
over my little sallies of repartee in
French
II am sometimes in doubt as to the
explanation Of the superior ease with
which 1 comprehend what these peo-
pie say to me over their understand
ing Of what I say to them. Some
times think my French is too pure
to be readily taken in. Again re-
fleet that the members of the COM
pany are possibly better than I am at
pantomime, and there may be some
thing in that.
At this juncture young man in
a very short coat, a very shiny silk
hat with a Hat brim, and trousers
creased at the sides, instead of fore
and aft, came out of the theater and
whispered to the manager, at the
same time making numerous ges-
lures.
'Certainny-ment, replied Mr.. Bar
ney, with smile of erudite affabili-
ty. "Aveck playsee-. Donnay moys

Having with some difficulty Sc
cured these articles, the manager
hastily scrawled a line, folded the
sheet and handed it to the French
actor, waving him politely toward
the box office.
''There are some advantages, said
Mr.. Barney, ''about not always be-
ing necessarily able to understand
the members Of your company, par
ticularly when they touch for an
advance of salary
But" I observed, you gave him
an order on the box Office. How
much did it call fora"
1.-TWO Seats" replied Mr.. Barney
haughtily. He thinks that is what
I believe he meant, and he won't
have the nerve to try me again. Pri-
vately, between us, I learned my
French from the Indians up around
Lake Superior when I was a boy. It
may not be just the article they en-
ploy in the conversayzionnys of the
Paris salongs, but it is good enough
to stand off actors. Bong swoar."-
