His Criticism.

Professional art critics are by no means
tho only people whose opinions of pictures
are worth hearing, as many an artist has
found out. Michael Herlihy had his little
shop insured in popular company, and
the agent presented him with highly col
ored lithograph representing the burning
of a block of buildings.
Mr. Herlihy surveyed the picture for
some moments, muttering to himself the
while. At last he turned a dissatisfied
face upon the agent.
Its moighty purity" he said, "but it's
n.esiif doesn't call it complate, sorr, not
by amy names"
Indeed" said the agent. "What is
wanting, Mr.. Herlihy?"
''1here's the buildin's all roight," said
Michael, ian there's the foire ingines, an
the ladders an the horses, an the shmoke
an cinders There's the payple runnin,
an the foiremen climbin oop an doom,
but said MIR. Herlihy, turning his back
on the painted conflagration and confront
ing the insurance agent with an expression
of strong discomfort, ''whoiver i'll the
woide wurrld saw a blither ay that koind

The Ruling Passion.

The ruling passion gets away with
woman every time. AT the theater the
other night a lady appeared suddenly at
the box office and asked the manager for
an admission ticket.
Don't you wish seat?" the ticket
seller asked "We have a few good seats
in the balcony"
II haven't time to sit down." said the
lady. my husband is waiting for me
outside, and besides have seen the play
already"
The ticket seller didn't know what to
say to this.
II only want to go in for few min
utes, the fair visitor continued. II saw
lady pass in few moments ago, and
she was so elegantly dressed that WANTED
to have a good look at-her and see exactly
what she had on. That's all. "
The manager, to whom this explanation
was made, escorted tho dress fascinated
woman into the auditorium, and she went
around to a side aisle and made thor
ough observation of what the ultra fash
ionable dame "had on.
"Oh, it was perfectly lovelyF" she ex-
claimed as she joined her husband at the
door.-Boston Globe.

MAKING HIM FEEL AT HOME.
New Many Crimes Are Committed In the
Name of Hospitality.

How many mistakes are made in this
world with the best intentions! How of
ten we condole with each other when we
should rejoice! How frequently man
urges a friend to take a drink, lust one
more" under the impression that he is
doing him favor, when really the man is
anxious to get home to his family! There
is no mistake so hard to correct as that
which is made with the best motives pos
sible. The other day Buggins invited
Muggins out to dinner. Muggins is rath-
er shy, but he managed to scare up enough
courage to accept Mrs. Buggins and the
three Misses Buggins held council of
war.
''What is Mr. Muggins fond of:" que
ried Mrs. Buggins.
I'm blessed if know" quoth he.
Find out today if you can, was the
edict. So Buggins went to a friend for
advice. no,
II don't remember Let's see. He
either despises or is very fond OF coffee. L
think he is fond of it. Yes; I'm pretty sure
remember his drinking eight cups in one
night"
The truth of the matter is that Muggins
bates coffee with bitter, undying hatred
elat was Unborn. If he ever drank eight
mugs of anything it surely was not coffee,
but Buggins went home and told his fam
lily that as long as Muggins had cup of
good coffee he didn't care a row of pins
about anything else.
The dinner came off.
Have cup of coffee, Mr.. Muggins, +"
said pretty Miss Buggins first. Il know
you won't refuse.' So Muggins took it.
He gulped it down and tried to look calm.
Then the second daughter of his hostess
spied his cup empty. She rushed up for
another. His shyness overpowered him,
and he took it without q murmur. He
swallowed that too. The eagle eye of the
youngest Miss Buggins fell upon him. He
quailed.
Poor Mr.. Mugginsr' said she sympa-
thetically. Have they neglected your
Never mind; I'll take care of you. Here S
cup of coffee" /"
How could he refuse? He never has dis
covered how he emptied that cup. All he
remembers after that is the hostess COM
ing up with another cup of coffee on one
side of him, and Buggins, with genial
smile, insisting upon giving him fifth
dose.
II want to make you feel at home, +"
said he.
well, then," said Muggins, recovering
from his shyness, "don't give mo any
more coffee. "
"Why not?"
Because, when I'm home, / never
drink coffee. In fact loathe coffee. -

Marriage Ceremony-Tinland.

Marriage fetes in Finland, as in Nor
way, are often prolonged for several days,
even among folk of humble rank. One Pc
culiarity, which may excite more surprise
than approval among eligible suitors i'll
our own country, is that the Finnish lover
never himself pops the question" to the
girl of his choice. The momentous pro-
posal is made through a third person,
called the "talman,' to whom tho happy
couple give a present when his delicate
mediation proves successful and ends III
wedding. Not uncommonly their gilt to
the talnan takes the unromantic form OF
a shirt.
In like manner the clergyman who pre-
sides over the nuptial service receives
simple and inexpensive present, often a
handkerchief and pair Of warm nan
gloves. A similar gift is bestowed upon
the officiating priest at funerals. Cpon
these mournful occasions the service Is e2-
ceedingly simple-more SO than would sat
isfy the views of British undertakers-'
but the burial is, as rule, followed by
large hospitality on the part of the bereavea

EVERYTHING SEEMS WRONG

to the dyspeptic. The world is

Now, the thing that oftenest IS
wrong with dyspeptics, is their
choice of remedy. There are
drugs and medicines on the one
hand-the Carlsbad Sprudel on
the other. They can't both, be
right; there's too much differ
ence in their methods and in
their results.

Sprudel Spring at Carlsbad have
been curing dyspeptics for hun

Horns.
.rus Adler. assistant curator

Professor Cyrus Adler, assistant curator
of oriental antiques in the United States
National museum, describes an endless va
riety Of horns made of divers material
used for religious purposes. The Berbers
have an instrument made of two rams
horns, joined at the ends with metal
moutbpiece. An ox's horn or cows
horn was sounded in India in honor Of
the Hindoo god silva. In Africa the tusk
of the elephant is used. The Etruscans
had bronze horn, specimen of which is
in the British museum. The kurna sound
ed by the Brahmans was sacred and not to
be blown by any one of low caste. The
Jewish chofar, made of a rams horn, is
the survival of the most ancient worship.
Professor Adler writes, 1T is not only
the solitary musical instrument actually
preserved in the Mosaic ritual, but the old
est form of wind instrument known to be
retained in use in the world. New Yorh

ORDER OF THE GARTER.

Its Alleged Ballroom Origin Piece o.
Legendary Romance.
The origin of the Order of the Golden
Fleece is like that of the Garter, shrouded
in mystery. Very few modern arch@olo-
gists attach any credence to the vulgar
tradition wholly unsupported by any au-
thority that at court ball given by Ed
ward III lady, supposed to be the Coun-
tess CT Salisbury, dropped her garter and
the king, taking it up and observing some
of his courtiers to smile as though they
thought he had not obtained this favor
merely by accident exclaimed in a loud
voice, "Honi soft qui NAL pense"
There is another opinion which traces
the origin Of this order, which, according
to the learned Seldom exceeds in majesty,
honor and fame all the chivalrous orders
in the world" to Richard Coeur de Lion
having upon the occasion of some warllke
expedition during his wars in Palestine
chosen leathern thonged garter as the
distinctive mark of his partisans. Yet an
other theory ascribes the foundation of the
order to the fact that Edward at the battle
of Crecy issued his garter as signal for
battle, which, proving successful, deter
mined him to institute the order in mem
ory of the event.
Both these opinions are to certain ex-
tent feasible, and the first is materially
fortified by the well known fact that when
the crusaders captured st. Jean d'Acre in
a nocturnal assault the knights of the
Christian army were ordered to wear straps
Of white leather bound round the leg I'M

was able to sit up l sat in my sltiihg
room, which faced the northwest, during
the daytime, and wishing to see the pass
ing I had my place near large wlndow.
The room had an open CRATE, also furnace
heat, and the Thermometer easily register
ed 20 to 75 degrees, but with all TINS
warmth there was draft, as thought, on
on my head and neck
Every one said the cold air came In at
the window sash. / sent for the weather
strip man, and of course he discovered, or
thought he did, the cause and put on his
rubber molding SO that the sash when
closed was tight
Now" he says, "you will have no
more trouble in that direction"
The next cold snap the same old gale OF
wind appeared. When my doctor came in,
/ spoke to him in regard to it, when he
informed me that it was not the cold air
from outside that felt, but the warm air
of the room, which went to the top of the
window, struck the cold glass, cooled and
then fell down" as the cold air would
had not the casing been alright He then
said, Drop your curtain about one-thlrd
and keep it there"
did as he directed, and the gale stop
ped, and 1 had no trouble after that. he
told me that the same trouble existed in
most houses, even those that were well
heated in the halls and bedrooms, the heat
going to the top, cooling and falling back,
SO that one coming from warm room
down stairs and goi1g up would often
think that there must be windows open
above. OF course double windows would
remedy this cooling off process in the
rooms, but with the curtains down little
they prevent the instant cooling of the
warm air. and there Is your draft.
You will notice that these drafts"
are about during the day more than at
night and always less in the room where
there is lamp. Why? Simply when you
light your lamps or the gas you draw
down the shades, and the heat does not
strike the cold glass. Transcript
