A Little Dull.

Bazaar, had quite an experience in .
large Berlin hotel. She was doing"
the continent alone with her two chill.
dren, without being able to speak .
word Of any language except her ma
tive tongue. One night, having re-
tirod early with the little ones, she
was suddenly awakened by q peculiar
noise, which she soon became con.
vinced was caused by some one trying
to open the door between her room and
the one adjoining. She got up quick
ly, turned on the electric light, and
rang the bell. The sound ut the door
ceased suddenly, and after slight do
lay man appeared to answer the bell
"Speak English?" (the usual question:.
II shpeaks heem . leetle," was the
reply. "There is some one in the next
room trying to open myudoor," excit.

It Doesn't Do for the Broker to Stop
Wearing Them.
During the worst of the recent hard
times two Wall street men were discuss
ing matters in lawyers Office. On
parting one of them said:
IF can manage to hang on to my
diamonds, guess can pull through" J"
Later, the lawyer was asked what
the remark signified. He laughed and
said: - ~i
ut means that diamond is not only
valuable but a conspicuous article.
If man is in the habit Of wearing this
sort of ornament his associates are
bound to noticY it. In time when
men are going to pieces all sorts of
signs are looked for by business men
that will indicate the financial stand
ing of q customer. If they notice that
q man who has been in the habit Of
wearing expensive jewelry suddenly
appears without any of his usual
jewels, they are apt to conclude that
he is being pushed SO hard that he had
to realize on personal property, and
his credit goes down"

Owing to the power being increased,
che existing chimney did not have suf-

TO increase the height Of the latter.
Augustus Bartling, Of Bernberg IAN

the old chimney without interfering
with the work of the mills.
Aided by another man, whose agil-

We have all heard about the British
coal and iron mines, the galleries OF
which extend far out under the Allan
tic ocean, but there are perhaps very
few Americans who know that the
most extensive under-ocean mining
operations in the world are carried on
along the Pacific coast Of this CONT.
nent. At Nanaimo, British Columbia,
there is coal mine the shaft of which
extends several hundred feet below
the ocean bed at that point. All the
galleries Of the mine, aggregating
something like twelve miles in length,
are entirely under the ocean.

Ono Of the most curious expeditions
ever planned by man was that once
undertaken by DIR. j. g. Bunting, Of
Portland. says the Lewiston (Me.)
Journal. During all his life he had
been close student Of the philosophy
Of digestion, and for the purpose Of his
Investigations he had that remarkable
Canadian, Alexis st. Martin, in his
caro- for twenty years. In order to
clinch matters and provide facts for
some Of the doubling Thomases DR..
Bunting cast about for some one else
upon whom he might continue to ex.
pertinent.
He could think OF but one plan. and
that was to 20 into Africa, buy two
slaves, and operate upon their stom-
achs. BY opening. the body near the
fifth rib and perforating the stomach
q condition could be produced similar
to that existing in the person of st.
Martin. Therefore the doctor pur-
chased his supplies and sailed across
to Tunis in the north of Africa. There
he hired native chief with forty Of
his followers, paying them liberal
retaining fee and promising them al
Turing largess when the trip should be
ended. They set forth. The doctor
carried one Thousand pounds in his In.
side pocket. and the chief probably lay
awake four nights thinking about the
matter.
At any rate, on the fifth night he
l sneaked into the doctor'R tent and de-
livered little address over the muz-
zles of two pistols. When he had con-
cluded the doctor passed over hii
ducsts and the chief passed over the
border along with his renegade band
They helped themselves to such sup
plies as suited their artless and unen
lightened tastes. The doctor came

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Dangers OF Summer Resort FtirtatioAs
and 1ndiscriminats Introductious.
Well qualified by years Of intelligent
observation of a wide scope, enhanced
by special opportunities for seeing, a
very estimable woman-liberal minded,
at that--of this city, gave utterance to
the following:
For the month now at hand the
chief amusement, not to say occupa-
tion, Of the young people at the sum-
mer resorts will be flirting. Dancing
and driving, bathing and boating, Gro.
quet and bowling, and cards-ail these
will have their devotecs and reeeive
due attention, but the business Of the
season to which al these other cccu-
pations shall be subservient, II the old
new.game Of playing at love, forever
SO pleasing and amusing. Now and
then, perhaps, there will be o touch
OF the real article-a genuine heart,
warm and living, among the imitation
hearts Of ice, which may find its
like, or thaw the ice. or, perhaps, be
itself frozen--who knows? Few men
care to marry the summer resort girl,
or, the girl they meet at ths average
summer resort They see - much
froth that It makes them disDelieve In
the wine. So much deception causes
doubt everywhere.
ION the other hand, men know to
what extent naneuvering mammas
lead their daughters, season after sea-
son, to the sacrifice. Matches made at
watering places are seldom safe. and
guardians and parents will be wise to
keep a watchful eye on their charges
and to inquire into the character and
antecedents of the nice young men.
whom ward or daughter scrapes ac-
quaintance with in the surf The con.
venient code which provides that such
arquaintances are only for the season
allows much latitude, and often, very
often, covers doubtful personages with
married women or with single ones,
wise in the ways of the world. Gam
blers and fortune-hunters have no
cloven hoof which can not be hidden
by the conventional patent-leather
boot.
"Becauss man waltzes or swims
we'll, shall he, without other passport,
dance or swim with any daughter, any
woman? Shall Mr.. Smiths introduc-
tion suffice for Mr.. Jones, when all
known of Mr.. Smith is that he wears a
good coat, boards at good hotel, and
drives a pretty team. 1tmight be con.
venient if the custom common among
some German peasants were intro
duced with us, the custom of indicating
the dowry of each maiden by the
stripes on her bodice. But possibly y
that is too much to ask of congress in
land where heiresses are in the
minority. So the desiring young man
who wishes to endow fortune with
his heart and hand must take his
chances, and when the bitter is bit,

complain if they do not receive much
