A Lasting Impression.

"a few days ago." says a travelling
man, Sin passing through a town
which had been badly wrecked by a
small hurricane, l met man who had
protected himself by insurance against
loss by cyclone, and who was able to
survey the ruin of all he possessed on
earth with the utmost complacency,
while his neighbors were almost dis
tracted with grief. 1 asked him cas-
ually why he had taken the precau-
ton, having learned that he was the
only man in town who had such pol
icy. He told me that when a boy he
had narrowly escaped being killed by
a cyclone, and the danger had so i'm
pressed him that he had carried cy-
clone insurance ever since he had start
ed housekeeping, which was well-nigh
O generation ago. The sentiments of
the neighbors toward this fortunate
man were quite interesting. One or
two, of course, were small enough to
be Jealous of him and to tell anecdotes
Of how some folks had more luck than
they deserved, but the majority spoke
more in admiration than envy, and
there seemed to be general senti.
ment that the man who had thus pro.
vfded against danger in the midst Of
safety was the most suitable man in
the district to run for congress"

Curious Rock Formation Found In the

Curious rock formations are to be
found all over the world, but most of
them require long stretch of the i'm
agination before the objects they are
said to represent can be seen. The
well-known pictured rock known as
the ''Old Man of the Mountain" is pos
sibly the most perfect natural curiosity
of the kind in the country, when
viewed from the west under certain at
mospheric conditions. There are 6

more or less perfect, but in Arizona
there is one that is deserving of frs

A Monster Advertisement.

The largest advertisement that has
ever been thrown out for wondering
humanity to gaze upon is that of the
Glasgow News, made of flower beds on
the side of a mountain back of Arden
lee, Scotland. The words: Glasgow
News" can be seen and plainly read at
a distance Of four miles. The length
of each letter is 40 feet, the total
length of the line 1923 feet, and the
area covered by the letters 14,s45 feet
The borders of the bed are sown with
white flowers, the centers with red and
purple. The effect from distance is
said to be very grand.

4 THE action of the Chicago heiress in
breaking the engagement that had been
made for her with British army officer
is worthy of all praise. And she is the
more deserving of applause inasmuch
as, by her action, she has run the risk
of FORGETTING $500, 900, which she would
have secured by marrying with the con-
sent of the executors of her fathers
will. 1t appears that they agreed to the
foreign match, and arrangements had
progressed so far that the prospective
English mother-in-law had come over
from London to look after the money
part of the arranGement-that is the
main consideration to the fortune-h hunt
ing foreigners. The girl declined to be
expatriated, however, and preferred,
moreover, to have a say IN so important
a matter to her as the choice of life
partner. And as luck and Cupid would
have it, a former lover, from whom she
had somehow Decome estranged, APP
peared on the scene at this juncture and
an elopement followed, to the disgust
and discontinue of the British mother
in-law that was to be. The girl pre-
ferred to marry a poor American medi-
cal student rather than an officer in the
queens army. And if there are justice
and true Americanism in Chicago she
will get the $500, 900, too, despite the alb
surd provision in her fathers will.

CATswAMP IS the unlovely name of q
prosperous farming region on the

IT is said that cancelled American
postage stamps are worth more than
their face value in the far east, and
American missionaries are turning them
to good account in the conversion of
pagan children. For some time the big
business houses have received numer-
Gus requests for old stamps, and many
thousands have been gathered in this
way by Sunday school children. Mis-
sionaries in China, on entering the in
terror of that country, have realized
the value of the Cancelled stamps,
which the natives prize for decorative
purposes, and have sent requests to
this country for all the postage stamps
procurable. They are being collected
by hundreds of thousands throughout
the country.

A LETTEE-wRITER in the London Daily

not be done to restrain the tendency
on the part of writer's for the press to
use hackneyed expressions, such as

thing nowadays, from an eligible free

Jokes on NIatrimonY.

It illustrates the degree Of personal
freedom that Americans enjoy that
none of our comic papers has ever been
enjoined from the constant publication
of jokes in derogation Of the married
state. One of the humorous contem-
poraries in particular, which rarely
NEEDLES with politics and is easily the
leader of the journals of its class, ap-
plies itself from January to December
to illustration of its apparent belief
that courtship is always mercenary,
and matrimony state of uneasy bond
age. The theory has been advanced,
according to Harper's Weekly, that this
journal kept in its pay poor-young-
man-in-love to make evil speeches about
all luckier men who can afford to wed,
and one or two victims of matrimonial
mischance to think up sharp things
about marriage. It is ascertained,
however, that that theory does the
said contemporary injustice. The
truth is that, as happy nations have no
history worth mentioning, happy mar
riages and smooth and felicitous court
ships are comparatively barren of mar
ketable jokes. The 5olxists take
gloomy views of human affection be-
fore and after marriage, not because
they are against the institution or are
personally embittered against either
sex, but because the jokes come easier
that way. Anyone who doubts this
explanation is invited to be convinced
by the simple process of taking suit
able picture from one of the humorous
papers and devising new jokes to At it.
If the jokes do not come easier and bet
ter on the hypothesis Of conjuga1 disa-
greement than of mere conjugal affec-
ton, this explanation is at fault.

QUEEN VICTORIA is mentioned as be-
ing superstitious about precious stones,
and it might be said that most imagin-
alive women share that superstition.
She invariably wears a chrysoprase in
one form or another, this stone being
thought to bring nothing but good
luck. She considers it beautiful, too.

A NOVEL method Of burglarizing a
house was adopted by New York
sneak thief the other day. While the
woman of the house was out he appro-
priated all the valuables in the place,
cut open a feather bed, put the booty
into the mattress, and carried it of.
On the way downstairs the thief met
the woman on her way back. "Does
Mrs. Smith live here?" he asked her.
NO." she replied. "Well," said the
thief, eve carried this mattress up
and down the steps of nearly every
house in the block, and I'm getting
tired of it. I didn't know there were
so few Smiths In New York" The
woman laughed, and ten minutes later
found that the man had run away with
all of the portable articles of any value
in that fiat.

This curiosity is Of colossal size but
perfectly proportioned. 1t Is about
sixty feet high and is very white and
smooth There are very few assures
on the surface, and they, strangely,
are in the proper places to form fea-

the surface is exactly placed for an
eyebrow. The two humps are plainly
to be seen and the neck is curved beau

The rock is really a solid piece ris-

prised at learning of the distances be-

THE navy department is advised that
the French naval architects have en-
bodied in their latest plans for a battle
ship a system of protected tops that
will afford a position of superior &C
commodation to the commanding Off
GERS. Details that have reached the
navy department. show that these minia-
ture steel fortresses at the mast tops, in
addition to an equipment of machine
guns, are now being fitted out with
speaking tubes, connections with the
engine bells, and finally with q wheel
which will enable the officer in the top
to steer the vessel from that position.
Great strategic advantages are supposed
to be made available from this arrange
ment, as it will enable the officer di-
recting the movements of the vessel to
see perfectly over the dense clouds of
powder smoke that hang around the
vessel during an active engagement,
and also, in certain cases, to see above a
low lying fog. This is regarded as a
considerable improvement over Admiral
Farragut's plan OF having himself
dashed to the rigging.
