A foreshadowing affecting its subject rs
with foretaste of death was that recorded
by Charles Mackay of his friend, Mr.. In
gram, founder of the London Illustrated
News. Travelling together in Switzerland,
the two were witnesses one night in Cha
mounix of one of the thunderstorms that
rage with such appalling grandeur amid
those mountainous regions. Mackay's rap
lures over the scene were checked by see
ing his friend crouched in a corner on the
floor, his face pale, his hair on end with
terror. The paroxysm was succeeded by
unconsciousness, on recovering from which
he told Mackay how, ever since he could
remember, he had been possessed of this
unnccountable and utterly uncomfortable
horror of thunderstorm.
Some eight years later Mr.. Ingram was
crossing Lake Michigan when the steamer
was run into by n sailing vessel, and amid
a scene of terror and confusion, it being
night and n violent thunderstorm raging,
crew and passengers were precipitated into
the waters. As it was five hours before In
grams body, still warm with recent life
was washed ashore, he must have been
struggling all that time-an eternity Of
suffering to one like HMM the dark, tenn
pestuous waters beneath the lightning riv-
en- sky.-London Tit-Bits.
He Wanted Watermilyun.
One old colored man excited some consd-
cradle amusement as he passed through the
market peering to the right and to the left
and into every corner. OF course he was
greeted with many inquiries from the deal
ers and would be sellers. To all he replied;
"No, sab, gen'lemens; don see muffin |
wanter get. Ize got listers an 'possum an
a big turk what uster-(what a fool mig

Mr.. Simon Bedford, recently retired, lived
within hearing distance of two blacksmith
shops for 81 years, yet so long as he was ia
active business he never knew that he had
nerves, nor was he ever disturbed in the
slightest by the Gathering on the anvils if
indeed he ever heard them. But he has
time to think of and TO be disturbed by
such things now.
Just when he wants to take that second
sleep in the early morning the sons of Nul-
can begin their pounding, and the poor
man has to get up. He stuffed cotton into
his ears, but without effect, and so he has
come to have a positive envy of men who
are born deaf,
Driven to desperation Mr., Bedford one
day sent for the two rival black smiths, and
on their appearing in his library he said;
MY friends, am getting to be an old
man, fear. Now, you two have been neigh
bors of mine for long time, and | have
given each of You some work" Not caring
to tell them his real purpose, he went on:
~ am anxious to be of service to you both.
IEYou two agree to set up in another shop
some distance from where each of you is
/ now working | will give you $500 apiece.
| What do you say"
| The two blacksmiths promptly said,
"Yes, sir" and were profuse in their thanks
| to the good man.
They left, but after two days and nights
of restful quiet, which Mr.. Bedford enjoyed
thoroughly, the pounding on the anvils be-
gan again, with greater vigor than before.
Much angered, Mr.. Bedford sent for the
men and said, Did not give you money,
my friends, that each of you might secure
another shopt'
YES, sir" said one, "and so we have

Only those who have examined the mat
ter carefully have any idea of the many
figures of speech in use in our ordinary ev-
eryday language. Indeed these figures are
as intimately woven into the web and wool
Of our language as the figures in Persian
rug Even the most rigid science has to
depend on figures of speech to make itself
understood.
But as some people use more personal
ornaments than others, so some indulge
in more figures of speech, and Mr. Robb of
Williamsburg, \. Y, is one Of these.
Recently, when thinking of changing his
dwelling, he called on German landlord
who had "A number of houses to let.
Mr. Robb was shown the most desirable
of these. 1t was a very nice residence, but
it struck the prospective tenant that the
rooms were rather small, and he expressed
his opinion in this way:
ITS a nice house, Mr.. Goldberg, but the
rooms are too small. Why, in most of
them there isn't room to swing cat
Volts dot You say?" asked the landlord.
81 say | couldn't swing cat in most of
these rooms.'
"Gott i'm himmell Vot for you want to
swing der gat in dem rooms, ehY"
well" laughed Robb, Il might want
to, you know, and if / should there isn't
room"
II dond like dings like dot" muttered
Goldberg. II own dem houses den year
unit hat goot denants, bud none oof dem
vos in dot swingin gat piziness."
/ Promising to see Goldberg again, Mr..
I Bobb left, but he did not return, for that
/ evening Mr.. Goldberg's son called on him
and said:

Copyright, 1898, by American Press Associa-

There are men-and women, too-whose
lives would seem to be one unbroken rec
ord Of sel1shness, and yet who manage to
get on in the world and to win where
others much better than themselves fail.
Dick Folingsby was man Of this kind.
Dick and were distant cousins and play
mates aud schoolmates in our boyhood. !
recall as distinctly rs if it were yesterday
that Dick had a great habit Of breaking
tops, letting kites get loose, losing books
and bursting the barrels of shotguns, but
the things lost or injured were never his
own--they always belonged to myself or to
some other boy.
Whenever IL came down to the division
of an apple, an orange or piece of cake
always the properly Of some other boy, for
Dick never divided his things-he inyari-
ably managed to do the cutting and al
ways got what we called "the biggest half"
He grew up to be fine looking fellow,
though with rather a cynical expression.
l remember my father, with the privilege
of a kinsmau, pointed out to Dicks parents
on one occasion what he thought were the
defects in the boys character but they
thought his peculiarites would the better
qualify him for the calling of n merchant,
which it was decided be should be-
Soon after Dick Folingsby came of age,
his father and mother died, leaving him an
estate that brought in about 5000 a year.
If Dick had been left poor, | am quite sure
that he would have won his way, like many
men Of the same disposition, and achieved
fortune but competency was death
blow to his ambition. 1t seemed to ener-
waite all his nobler impulses, while it in
tensined his selfshness.
From first to last | do not recall having
heard of Dicks giving away one cent in
charity or helping a man who was down
from that impulse of sympathy which we
often find associated with natures that are
far from noble.
And yet as | look back upon his career
cannot help thinking that with proper in
flueuces about him, when his character was
in process of formation, that Dick Folings
by might have been most useful man
who in dying could look back upon well
spent life.
| recall that when we were boys of or
years in Kentucky, that one Of our chum'
of the same age had pretty baby sister o.

A LADIES MENDING ASSOCIATION
Some time ago, writes Miranda in the
LrIjcs' Pictorial, l suggested in these
columns that it would be boon for
men living alone if there were profess
sional members to whom their house
hold and personal linen could be sent
regularly as to the laundry. ! see that
my idea has borne fruit, and that La
dies Mending Association has come
into being, which, besides fulfilling a
want, will provide employment for
some of the many poor gentlewomen
whose abilities DO not soar above the
level of homely need!ework. To some
people, strange as it seems, mending
has a curious fascination they shrink
away in nervous terror from length of
new material and pair OF scissors, to
revel over three-cornered tear or re-
joice in huge darn TO such, therefore,
the work of the new association will be
not only remunerative bat pleasant.

FACES AND CALL1NGs.-It appears
probable that the tailor's distinctive
type of face may have been partially
created By his habit of working his jaws
concomitantly with his shears. Let
any one watch person cutting a piece
of tough material with scissors, and he
will see that the lower part of his face
wags in rhythmic and spontaneous uni
son with the blades. Shepherds and
farm laborer5 who join sheep,shearing
gangs certainly acquire a different eX
preston while engaged in this kind Of
work.
The cast of countenance by which
one so easily recognizes Il groom is par
TALLY eXplicable from the fact that the
muscles which close the jaw and com
press the lips are always called into
play when we are asserting our will
over that OF a horse. Nearly all jockeys
and other horsey men have peculiar
set OF the mouth and chin, but | have
been unable TO distinguish any special
characteristic about the eye or the up
per part of the face.
1t is instructive to compare the Wis
age OF the ruler of horses with that of
the ruler OF men. The horseman's face
shows command in the mouth, the drill
sergeant's in the mouth and eye. The
last is undoubtedly the most effective
instrument in eXacting obedience from
our own species. Here we get hint
of the cause of that want of dignity,
that element Of coarseness which is dis
cernable in the countenances Of some
men and women who have much to do
with horses. The higher and nobler
method of expressing authority is out
weighed by the lower and more animal
one.-Blochvood'S Magazine.
