Too Much Talk Of One Kind.

One day there came off dinner to which
was invited a lot of widely different people.
Mixed pickles were nothing to this assem-
blage. There were Mayflowers and par
venus, professors and green grocers, slit
erary fellers" and college boys.
Among the literary persons was a Ger
tain lady whose large stock of information
contained something about every topic eX-
cept athletics Baseball and football were
her vulnerable points. Naturally she was
rather annoyed to find herself sent out to
dinner with a callow, sophomore looking
youth, whose first question was whether
she had heard of the changes in the crew.
Not knowing in the slightest whether the
crew in question was a crew of thieves or
of sailors, she looked interested and gasped
Mop That was sufficient. She had loosed
the foodgates of his eloquence. For two
hours he talked athletics. She answered
as well as she could, looked pleased and
once tried to change the topic of converse
ton by saying that the captain of the team
was delightful fellow and came from such
a nice family. But this straw was totally
unable to dam the river of athletic talk.
She could only sit, suffer, and when it was
over sigh with relief.
What was her horror the next evening to
find herself again delivered over to the ath-
letic youth She was in despair. All the
way out to the dining room she thought
hard. When they were seated, she said:
''Mr. -, you can't talk about books or
people, and ] shouldn't live through an
other two hours of boats and oars and foot
balls and bruises, so I'll tell you what we'll
do Do you count 10 very SLOWLY, 2, 3, 4,
5, 6, Z, s, o, 10-then I'll look interested and
laugh. Then I'll count 10, and you look
interested and laugh. "-Boston Budget.

Lowlr Llfe In Roosevelt street.

II one is so trebly blest as to be at once
young and poor and ragged, it perhaps an
advantage to live in some such street as
Roosevelt, on the east side. There is a GER
tain glamour which the twilight, unrelieved
by artificial sources of illumination, casts
over that neighborhood that quite idealizes
things, so that there is huge amount of
potential fun in an old piece of rope or a
stick. Those dark alleys are mysterious
places through which to run. yelling all the
while like Indians. A push cart, tipped on
end, can be used as a toboggan slide with
excellent results, barring splinters. There
are all sorts of tricks to be played, the zest
of it all being that, as the street is sure to be
crowded, especially on Saturday night,
somebody is sure to be annoyed.
Passing through the street of Saturday
night you are quite sure to see sundry arti-
cles of the weeks wash depending from
the bannisters and of varied hue, like dis
reputable species of hanging garden.
Here, too, Young America-both by birth
and immigration-runs things pretty much
at its own will, sweet or otherwise He is
not overchoice Of speech and is rather
proud than otherwise of his pyrotechnic
vernacular. In plain language, he swears.
As regards the smoking habit, he is nei-
ther a disciple of Horace Greeley nor Of
little Robert Reed, who was wont in di-
dActic verse to declare himself free from
vice and particularly not addicted to the
use of tobacco in any form. He is rather of
the Sir Walter Raleigh school and would
after an evening at a Bowery theater, when
his manly syrnpathies have been wrought
TO their highest tension, rob himself of his
cloak for beauty to tread upon-if he had
one.-New York Herald.

wnririnr onthn Poems.

A few years ago poetry was bought and
read by few beyond the lettered class, and
the narrowness of its circle rendered it
somewhat costly article to produce Much
of the best poetry has been published at the
authors cost. and, it is to be feared, TO his
ultimate loss, but the new craze for varie-
ties in bookland opened another door to the
literary peddler-a very little wariness
might entrap the unwise and indiscriminate
bibliophile.
Might it not be possible to publish poetry
in so limited an edition that it became
rarity almost before it was off the machinei
Might not a kind Of false reputation be es-
tablished upon the difficulty of procuring
an authors work and decent income upon
the haggling over single copiesi The idea
was started. fulfilled and has. it seems,
succeeded
We are the daily readers of announce
ments which state that Mr.. Bunthornes
new volume of poems will shortly be ready
in three editions-one on japanese paper,
limited to copies, at 2 guineas each; one
on handmade paper, limited to 90 copies,
at guinea, and one demi Svo cloth extra,
limited to $50 copies for England and 20 for
America, at IS. Cd; that all copies in all
editions are already sold, and that reprint
of the cheaper edition may be expected next
week.-National Review.

Many Ways to Entertain children.

Five sheets of different colored pin wheel
papers, which they can convert into wheels,
fancy boxes, etc, also a penny clay pipe for
soap bubbles, comes in handy as last re
source. Many mothers may remember the
interest they took in their spool knitting.
Their own little darlings will surely be
just as delighted with it. Put a leaf from
your table across two chairs, put on it a
few blocks of wood and cut up few
potatoes, but be sure not to forget the most
important articles-that is, the paper for
wrapping and money Then let them be
storekeepers while you do your sewing and
give orders to the play eriand boy. Keep
your darning cotton for rainy days, and
they will only be too eager to wrap it off
the card on to an empty spool for greater
comfort for you later on. Read pleasant
stories to children before retiring, and they
will sleep and dream pleasantly. Above
all things interest yourself in your child's
amusements, and you will be none the less
loved for your trouble.
AS have few resources for the amuse
ment of little ones on stormy days, take
pleasure in writing about them Take a
cloth or sheet and fasten it to the wall,
then hunt up all your old colored fashion
plates, give the children scissors and pa
per of pins and let them cut them out and
arrange them on the sheet with the pins.
II large enough, let them pop some pop
corn themselves and make their own pitch
er of lemonade. This simple party" gives
lots of amusement. Cor New York Re

A Clever In,ita,or.

could initiate the voices of persons like a
young chap whom | knew on the Cleve-

of the late Edwin Cowles. Everybody adj
mired md respected Edwin Cowles. He
was man of marked individuality. His
manner of speech was all his own.
lowing to some defect of the vocal or
gans Mr.. Cowles could not pronounce the
letter s. This young chap picked up Mr.
Cowles' accent after hearing the venerable
editor talk few times, and he got the
tones so accurately that few could tell the
difference between the voice of Mr.. Cowles
and young Blacks mimicry. One summer
evening over at the Weddell house this
young chap was giving an unusually clever
imitation of Mr.. Cowles talking through
the telephone.
"As he proceeded big crowd collected
in the corridor. Black never gave better
exhibition of his powers of mimicry than
he did that night. At every fresh sally the
crowd burst into loud outlaws of laughter.
All at once Black realized that his jokes
were not making ahit. There came dead
calm in the corridor. Black was facing an
imaginary telephone on the wall. He
turned about and found himself face to face
with Edwin Cowles.

NO BLANKS IN THIS co.:PETIoN.

NO BLANKS IN THIS COGPETION.
This is competition of rather an I'M
usual nature. 1t is common to offer
prizes for the best story, or picture, or
architectural plan, all the competitors
risking the loss of their labor and the
successful one merely selling his for the
amount of the prize. But the Press
Claims COmpany's offer is something en-
tirely different. Each person is asked
merely to help himself, and the one who
helps himself to the best advantage is re-
warded for doing it. The prize is only
stimulus to do something that would
be well worth doing without it. The
architect whose competitive plan for a
club house on certain corner is not ac-
cepted has spent his labor on something
OF very little use to him. But the person
who patented a simple and useful device
in the Press Claims Company's competi-
ton, need not worry if he fail to secure
the prize. He has substantial result to
show for his work-one that will COM
mand its value in the market at any
time.
The plain man who uses any article in
his daily work ought to know better how
to improve it than the mechanical ex-
pert who studies it only from the theO-
retical point of view. Get rid of the
idea that an improvement can be too sim
pie to be worth patenting. The simpler
the better. The person who best sue
ceeds in combining simplicity and pop
ularity, will get the Press Claims Com
pany's twenty-five hundred dollars.
The responsibility of this company
may be judged from the fact that its
stock is held by about three hundred of
the leading newspapers of the United
States.

ACnIlentnr nf nniforms.

In Buda-Pesth lives an old tailor whose
business it is to mend uniforms. His great
wish when he was young was to serve in
the army, but he is SO diminutive in size
Ihat he was refused. To get over his dis
appointment he became an army tailor
and began to collect military relics, OF
which his little house is so full that there
is scarcely any room left for himself and
his small wife. Archduke Eugen discov-
cred him some time ago and told the aged
Field Marshal Archduke Albrecht about
him. When he went to Buda-Pesth on Sat
urday, the two archdukes visited the tiny
tailor together and made him tell his
story and show his treasures. 1t was the
happiest day of his life, and Archduke
Eugen's order of a uniform delighted him
hardly less than the Archduke Albrecht's
sending him his photograph and purse Of
gold.-Vienna Cor. London News.
