A Chinese Proverbs Origin.

"'He'll steal your shoes is an express
sion which in China is used TO describe
an arrant knave and pilferer," says ex-
Consul Edward Bedloe. 1.-THE express
sion is hundreds of years old and is based
on an adventure perpetuated through
the medium of decorated crockery ware
A wealthy Chinaman, whose gorgeously
embroidered shoes were the envy of the
community, was, according to the leg
end, despoiled of his pride in the fol-
lowing manner: A rascal one day rushed
up, gave the rich man hearty blow on
the back, and Selling the astonished gem
tleman's hat pitched it upon high wall.
The next moment the fellow seemed to
discover that 1t was not an old friend he
was greeting SO enthusiastically and
apologized profusely.
"'How shall get my hatg' inquired
the man with the beautiful shoes.
"Jump on my back and you can reach
it, replied the schemer.
"The suggestion was carried out, but
while the hatless man was reaching for
his head covering the rascal slipped off
the handsome shoes and made away,
leaving the simple minded millionaire
clutching the wall"

The Turkish Harem.

In recent lecture on Turkey" Mr..
Oscar r. Straus, ex-minister of the Unit
ed States to that country, threw some in
teresting light upon most interesting
phase of Turkish life--the harem. The
lecturer admitted that his knowledge
came entirely from hearsay. He had
never been In one and had never known
a diplomat who had. pronounced the
institution not altogether unattractive.
Turkish women are not secluded in the
harem as in o prison. They are abso-
Lutte mistresses Of that side of the house
and free to exercise their rights indis-
putably. A Turkish husband would not
dare to enter his wife's apartments when
1t Is not her pleasure that he should, and
she has only to place her slippers outside
the door to indicate such desire for So
clusion. In many ways the oriental
wife makes her caprices felt, and her
spouse can only submit with what grace
he may, like his occidental brother.
The right to divorce is vested with the
husband, but the Divorce retires with
all her property to her family and may
marry again atonce. And this right to
hold property separately from their hus-
bands which English and American wom-
en- have only lately acquired has been
the privilege Of tho Turkish wife for q
thousand years.

Fined a Dead Man.

Down in southwestern Texas, just
about midway between Houston In the
east and Ell Paso In the west, and very
near to the Rio Grande, the Southern
Pacific railway has built over the Pecos
river the highest bridge in the United
States. Just before this bridge was fin
ished one of the workmen fell from It
and was of course killed.
The county judge was brought from
Langtry, the town nearest to the bridge,
to hold "crowner's quest" The Judge
arrived with great concourse Of people,
all anxious to serve on the jury. Pro-
ceedings were begun by examining tie
body Of the dead man. Upon this were
found loaded revolver and $40 In cash.
Perceiving this, the judge said:
"There amt nothing to do about this
case, gentlemen of the jury. The mans
dead, and it's perfectly plain how he
met his death. But what want to know
is, what was he doing with that gum
That's against the laws Of Texas. He amt

1t into his head to put on wings and

A Moan Trick.

A lawyer defending promissory note
went to lunch, leaving his books and ci-
tations ON the table In the courtroom.
. The opposing counsel snealked back into
the room and changed the places Of all
his boolmarks. In the afternoon the
lawyer, taking up his books, referred the
court to his authorities. His lordship
noted every volume and page carefully
and took the case under consideration.
In rendering his opinion he said
II was inclined after hearing argu-
ment of counsel for defendant to nom
suit plaintiff, but 1 find, after referring
to the authorities quoted by counsel,
none of them bear on this case, and
am led to think that the gentleman has
been willfully trying to insult the court.
He has referred me to an action OF an
Irishman who sued the proprietor of O
monkey for damages for biting him to q
case Of arson, one Of burglary, two Of
petty larceny and three divorce cases,
none of which bears on an action to re-
cover on promissory note. Perhaps
the grossest insult to the court is refer
ring to 'Duokworth versus Boozyman,,
an action charging defendant with
breach of promise. Judgment for plain
tiff with COSTS"
The lawyer never knew what the mat
ter was and to this day thinks the judge
wasout of his mind.-Pearson's Weekly.

THE lNTeRsTELLAR ETHER.
Ethereal Waves which Affect tho Eye and

the Photographic Plate.
Our eye does not act by detecting heat;
in other words, it is not affected by the
whole range of ethereal quiverings, but
only by a very minute and apparently
insignificant portion. II. whollyignores
the ether waves whose frequency is COM
parable with that Of sound, and for so or
40 octaves above this nothing about Us
responds; but high up in range Of VI
bration Of the inconceivably high pitch
Of four to seven hundred million per
second-a range which extremely few
accessible bodies are able to emit, and
which it requires some knowledge and
skill artifcially to produce-to those
waves the eye is acutely, surprisingly
and most intelligently sensitive.
This little fragment of total radiation
is In itself trivial and negligible. Were it
not for men and glowworms and few
other forms of life, hardly any Of 1t
would ever occur ON such moderate
sized lump of matter as the earth. Ex-
cept for an occasional volcano or fash
of lightning, only gigantic bodies like
the sun and stars have energy enough to
produce these higher futelike notes, and
they do it by sheer main force and vio-
lence-the violence Of their gravitative
energy-producing not only these, but
every other kind Of radiation also. Glow
worms, so far as I know, alone have
learned the secret of emitting the phys
iologically useful waves, and none other.
Why these waves are physiologically
useful, why they are what Is called

are dark" are questions to be asked.
but at present only tentatively answered.
The answer must ultimately be given by
the psychologist, for the distinction be-
tween light and nonlight can only be
stated In terms of the eye and its pecul.

The ethereal waves which affect the

the chaplain marry us as soon as the
fighting is over" Mrs. Kellar agreed
to do so, and all their acquaintance
declared that the mother was as great
fool as the daughter.
Violet's letter was keeping his heart
warm this day at Tamai. He was feel
ing unaccountably happy and light heart
ed, as after a sharp tussle with half
dozen Arabs, three of whom he killed
with his revolver, he was allowed breath
ing time for a few minutes, during which
he cut the word "Suakin" on the little
black pipe that had been his inseparable
companion during the whole of the cam
paign.
Suddenly just as ne had lighted and
returned smoking it, he heard frantic
shout, and glancing up he saw young
Kellar dash forward and fire at some one
behind him (Jack). simultaneously he
felt sharp agonizing pain in his back
and knew that he was struck by poi
soned spear. An Arab, who had been
concealed in bush, had crept out and
stabbed him before young Kellar could
intervene.
He had staggered and then fallen on
his face, and they thought that he was
dead for a minute. But when they lifted
him and were carrying him away faint
flicker of the old fun came into his fad
ing blue eyes as he said:
II wanted Violet and the ". c. so
much. S'pose twas Satan
Before he could finish the sentence the
fading light went out, and the blue eyes
closed forever in this world.
Who shall tell her? The whole regi-
ment knew the story Of Jacks love, and
not a man in it but felt heartsore for the
girl who had loved and been so proud

promised. "pll go to her myself with as
bitter tidings as I've had to convey"

filled with tears as he spoke. But this
was more for the fine young soldierly
life which had been cut short in it's glory
than for the desolate girl who was left
to mourn it. However, he fulfilled his
task SO alphabetically that Violet soon
found her greatest comfort in talking Of
her lost lover to his gallant chief.
"Time treads on the grave of affec-
toni" Kind, merciful Time Two years
after Jack fell at Suakin, Colonel Branks-
holme, who had been away on leave for
month, telegraphed to the second in

will be back tonight"

Have the band to meet them, take the
horses out and drag the carriage along
