Spelling a Good Story,

IAN ancient Persian king" said the
doctor, ''had brought before him a trai
tor to the throne, who, after brief hear
ing, was condemned to be strangled.
MERCY, o kingr cried the unhappy
man.
"'No,' responded the king sternly
You have conspired against me, and
you must pay the penalty with your life.
The clock is now trembling on the stroke
of 12. When it sounds the hour, you
must bid farewell to earth
"Quick as thought the prisoner turned
to the clock, which stood by the throne,
and with mighty push threw it from
its pedestal, and it fell with crash to
the floor.
Il bow to your will, o kingr he
said calmly. When this clock strikes l
will die, and not before
''As a tribute to his presence of mind
the king spared the prisoners life, and
after brief imprisonment gave him his
liberty"
"Quite interesting" exclaimed lady
when the narrator had finished.
''Shows that there is nothing new un-
der the sun" chimed in another.
''Humph-yes, said a small, quiet
man in the corner after the comments
had run their course. Very good story,
and hate to spoil it, but 1 must do it. ~
WHAT" exclaimed the story teller.
Eyes, must do it. There were no
clocks in ancient Persia, SO the prisoner
could not have smashed one."-London

An Invitation For Dolly.

"Here is an invitation from Mrs. B.
for children's party, Dolly" said a
mother, handing her little girl note.
''See how nicely you can answer it your
self without my help" The child went
off and in a few moments returned with
the following: Miss Dolly A. cannot
accept Mrs. BIS kind invitation, as she
has something else to do that she likes
much better"
"Now, how can teach that child con-
ventional ies?' said the parent laugh
ingly as she handed the production to a
visitor.
81 should not call it conventionality,
but consideration for the feelings of oln-
ers. It is not necessary to be brusque to
be truthful" rejoined the friend. There
is a great deal said about society's white
lies, but am quite sure that children
are too genuinely honest not to detect
the difference between the false and the
true, and there is no danger of a child's
becoming untruthful by using the for
mul,s current in society. New York

The Most Despicable Man.

The man whom thoroughly and pos
itively hate, and against whom as type
| would warn young women, as the
board of health officers warn the public
against infection with scarlet fever
card. Is the domestic tyrant, the man
who is bully IN his own family, the
man who is a hero at home and coward
among bigger men than he. When he
was boy, he loved to torture kittens
trap rabbits and tease birds by breaking
up their nests and cracking their eggs
But a yearling calf or sitting hen would
always make him run. Now he is man
he swears at his wife and nags her life
away. He sends the cold chills down
the children's spines whenever his steps
draw nigh and is as pompous and big
feeling among the women folks and the
helpless boys and girls as fussy old
turkey gobbler with his hens.
Fun can no more thrive where he is
than pansies can live in coal gas. He is
civil to the black man who gives him his
dinner, to the boy-provided he is full
sized-who blacks his boots and to who
ever is richer and stronger than he, but
politeness for his wife was laid away
with his wedding garments, and he curses
his daughters and his sons for every
tri1ing misdemeanor in way that would
rouse a newsboy to thrash him if he
spoke to the lad with equal insolence.-

the following, cut from a small paper
published in North Dakota: 1.-The many
friends Of Mrs. E. will be pleased to
learn that she is not in serious danger, as
the shock is not 80 severe as at first sup
posed. The particulars of the unfortu-
nate affair are interesting. It seems that
Mrs. E. while going up stairs saw a
mouse run behind a barrel. Her cries
were heard by the hired man, who has
tened to the scene, armed with his gun
and followed by his faithful bulldog.
Mrs. E. then took courage and poked
the barrel with her broom. The mouse
ran out, the dog started in pursuit, the
hired man fired, the dog dropped dead,
Mrs. E. tainted, and the hired man,
thinking he had killed her, and that he
would be arrested for murder, took to
his heels and has not been heard of since.
The mouse escaped. Boston Budget.

ses Wen Paid For picking.

Colonel Ebenezer Sproat, who was
born in Marlborough, Mass. in 1853,
served through the Revolutionary war
with distinction and being soldier him
self naturally thought that soldiers en-
gagged in their country's defense deserved
to be handsomely treated. His father,
it appears, kept tavern. Early in the
war, while Ebenezer was a captain, he
was at home on a short furlough. and
one day three privates, on their way
home from the army, called at the house
for cold luncheon.
Mrs. Sproat set on the table some
bread and cheese, with the remains of
the family dinner. Ebenezer thought
this rather scanty fare for hungry men,
especially as the bones were already
pretty bare. However. the men salts
fed their appetites and asked what was
to pay. Captain Sproat answered that
he did not know, he vruld ask his moth
er, and going to the kitchen door he
said:
Mother, how much is it worth to pick
these bones?'
about shilling, suppose" she an
swered.
He went back to the room, took from
the drawer 8 shillings, and with smil-
ing face handed them to the men, at the
same time wishing them good day and a
pleasant journey.
When they had been gone few min
utes, Mrs. Sproat returned and asked
Ebenezer what he had done with the
money that the men had paid him.
paid mel" said the captain. with an
air of amazement. Didn't | ask you
what it was worth to pick those bones,
and didn't you say shilling? 1 Thought
it little enough for sucl a job and
handed them the mo.=y from the till,
and they are gone"
Ebenezer was his mothers favorite
son, and she accepted the matter as
good joke to be borne without complain

SWEETER THAN A BEST GIRL.
Sugar, Molasses and Honey Are Nowher
In Comparison With Sacckarine.

! Sugar, Molasses and Honey Are Nowher'
In Comparison With Saccharine.
An industry still young. bat unques
tionably with great mercantile future
is that of saccharine, product of Goa
tar. 1t is a substitute for sugar, has
none of its bulk and is so powerful that
it is 300 times sweeter. The history Of
its discovery is interesting.
In 1879 DR.. Constantine FahIberg, q
Russian by birth, but who had been ed.
ucated in Germany, became connected
with the Johns Hopkins university in
Baltimore. There he conducted series
of experiments on the toluene sulpha-
mides, in order to investigate their oN-
dation products.
The outgrowth of this investigation
was the discovery of saccharine. By
oxidizing pure orthotoluene sulphamide
it was found that it would yield a re-
markably sweet compound. The amount
obtained, however, was too small to be
of any practical value for manufactur-
ing purposes. The problem thenceforth
was to find other reactions which would
give better yield of the sweet body. A
long and exhaustive series of laboratory
experiments extending through several
years were necessary for the satisfac-
tory development of the chemical proc
ess of production.
As might be expected, discovery of
such practical utility had to run the
gantlet of much hostile criticism. It
formed fruitful subject for discussion
in various scientific societies and jour
mails. Attempts were made to show that
it was not only deleterious, but danger
GUS. 1t is only fair to say, however, that
these arguments seem to have been sue
cessfully controverted. An overwhelm-
ing mass of expert testimony is recorded
in favor of saccharine Eminent profess
ors, like Sir H. E. Roscoe in London,
Leyden in Berlin, Paul in Paris, Won
Barth in Vienna, and host of others,
after thorough tests, have certified that
the effects of saccharine upon the phys
ical and psychical functions of the brute
and human systems are entirely harm
less.
Saccharine in its pure condition is a
white powder. Various exclusive ad-
vantages are claimed for its use in the
arts, household and medicine. To emu
merate few: 1t is so small in bulk that
the saving in storage and freight is of
course very great; its valuable antiseptic
qualities make it especially available in
preserving as well as sweetening articles
of food, such as jellies, fruits, etc. In the
distilling of brandies and liquors and in
the brewing of beer saccharine has been
used with signal success. Mixed with
glucose. saccharine has sweetness equal
to the finest refined sugar. Further,
saccharine serves distinctly medical
purpose. 1t is employed to disguise the
unpleasant taste of medicine and In the
preparation of medicated wines and 9TH
er cordials. 1t has also been highly in
dorsed as substitute for sugar for those
suffering from diabetes and from fat
ness. Unlike sugar, it does not go to
form surplus nourishment. Finally it
may be added that this highly concen-
trated sweetening substance requires
only little intelligence to be successful
ly used in the household Washington

What becomes of the lead pencils is as

Of pins. No one ever really uses up lead
pencils-no one drinks them, so to speak,

those admirable people who keep jour
Lals and cash accounts, and who usually
carry a sort of penholder arrangement
in which they insert half length
pencil and go on and on using it and
sharpening it until it is all gone. Very
few people ever get pencils worn down
as far as half length. They disappear
Lefore that stage is reached. What be-
comes Of them all? Hundreds of thou.
sands of them annually are lent TO young
children and never seen again. but what
do the children do with them? Do they
eat them up? Possibly.
Everybody has seen lead pencils the
upper end of which have been chewed
into brush, but children do not possess
such ostrich stomachs as would enable
them to consume all the pencils that dis
appear.-Boston TRANSCRIPT,
