A Period He Had Forgotten.

The class in physiology was reciting. The
professor was lecturing on food. and he had
just been telling the young men and women
that there were certain substances which
alone would sustain life an indefinite length
of time. He cited several perfect natural
foods and told why each one met all re-
quirements.
He came to milk "Now, milk" hesaid,
"is most excellent food. 1t will support
life for weeks if no other food is used"
The tall young man who liked to argue
stood up and said, "Of course, DR.. Tes-
tube, do not want to dispute the correct
ness of your assertion, but l confess that /
cannot bring myself to think that any per-
son could live exclusively on milk"
DR.. Testube looked rather bored. SIS
there any one else who supports Mr.. Kick
ers theory" he asked, glancing around the
classroom.
No one cared to argue the point.
The professor turned to Mr.. Kicker again.
81 understand you to say, Mr.. Kicker, that
you do not think that diet of milk ex lu-
sively will support life. Am correctp
"You are, sir / admit that milk is an
excellent thing. 1t is nourishing and all
that, but the idea that person can live on
IL alone is prepOSuerous-preP eiri
"Preposterous, is itf"
"Yes, sir; that is what l meant. No per
son could live more than few days on it
that is, no human"
The professor smiled a sad, sweet smile.
"Think back, Mr.. Kicker" he said, while
the class listened expectantly; turn your
mind back 1S or 20 years and see if you did
not live on it exclusively for considerable
period of time"
And just here Mr.. Kicker sat down very
hard.-Buffalo Express.

Chinese Formality at the Table.

Lily and bamboo roots, sharks fins and
swallows nests and many other Chinese
delicacies were now served in abundance
and with the ever accompanying bowl of
rice. In the matter Of eating and drinking
Chinese formality is extreme. A round
table is tho only one that can be used in
an aristocratic household. The seat of hon
or is always the one next to the wall Not
a mouthful can be taken until the host
raises his chopsticks in the air and gives
the signal. Silence then prevails. for Con-
fucius says, when u man eats, he has no
time to talk" When a cup of tea is served
to any one in a social party, he must offer
it to every one in the room, no matter
how many there are, before proceeding to
drink himself. The real basis of Chinese
politeness seems to be this: They must
be polite enough to offer, and you must
be polite enough to refuse. Our ignorance
of this great underlying principle during
the early part of the Chinese journey led
us into errors both many and grieyous.
In order to show desire to be sociable we
accepted almost everything that was offer
ed us, to the great chagrln, we fear, of
the courteous donors = From Across

NIunicipal Icehoukes.

Ice during the summer weather is re-
garded as almost as great necessity as
water, and it is nonsense for a municipality
which supplies the people with water from
public reservoir not to supply them like
wise with ice from the same reservoir The
fact that the propriety of public water
supply should have been generally admit
ted and public water service generally in
troduced, while the idea of public supply
of the same water in its frozen state should
apparently have occurred to nobody. is
curious illustration Of the illogicality of
our mental processes.
Of course public ice supply would be
like the water supply at cost. and the re.
lief from the extortion of the iceman would
be very substantial help especially to
the poor, who now to a considerable extent
have to get along without ice on account
Of the expense.-New Nation.

Mr.. Sothern was going down Broadway
one day in a detected and discouraged
spirit when he met n friend who asked him
to come and hear IA mnn read play. Tho
fact that Mr.. Sothern did go to hear this
play read shows how desperate his condi-
tion was. The play was very bad, and
Sothern, on being asked his opinion, said
so to the author. A year later the author
succeeded in getting the play placed upon
the stage, aud telegraphed widely over tho
United States for Mr.. Sothern, who was
then travelling, to drop his present engage
ment, to return to New York and play the
villain in the piece This Mr.. Sothern did,
not because he thought he could play
villain, but because he had not received
any salary for twelve weeks. On his re-
turn Sothern asked the author why, of all
people, he had chosen him to leave one COM
pany and come east to play tho villain in
his.
The author replied that on the afternoon
of the day when he had first met Sothern.
and when he had read him his play he had
noticed "a wicked look in his eye," and
had said to himself in consequence, "That
is the man to play my villain in my play"
Accordingly n year later, when he was
about to cast the play, he had made it
point to discover the whereabouts of the
young stranger with the wicked eyes, and
had offered him that part. 1t would make
a much better story if l could now add
that Mr.. Sothern made the hit of his life
and the sensation of the day. This, re-
greet to say, cannot do, for, though never
saw him in the part, he assures me he was
very bad in it-so bad indeed that Miss
Helen Dauvray's manager, after seeing
him play the villain, promptly engaged
him to play low comedy in her company

What pity it is that our girls are
brought up to regard marriage as almost
as inevitable as DEATH 1t handicaps them
from the start in their intercourse with
men. While they always have the feeling
of being on parade for inspection there can
be no naturalness or simplicity. If girls
were taught to regard matrimony as pos
sible, but not inevita ble-taught also that
q career in which work, with achievement,
is possible to a woman; that life without
matrimony may still be life of useful
ness and happiness-I fancy there would
be more ease of manner in the social rela-
tions of men and women and more bene-
fetal friendships between them.

ANGEL KISSES.

From out that portal, cleaning with its soft
and holy light.
Floating gently downward through the calm
ness of the night,
wave of love comes stealing on the golden,
starry tips,
And the breath of angel kisses fingers sweetly
on my lips.
The touch of baby fingers finds glad, respon-
sive thrill.
Giving peace to empty arms that nothing else
can fill.
Thoughts of morrow vanish, as the present
swiftly slips.
And eagerly reach for kisses-the kisses of
angel lips.
The dreary, weary aching of the wounded
hearts forgot
In this hour of blissful dreaming, which is and
yet is not.
And when the dread awakening, with its lone
illness greet,
THANK God for the dreaming and the angel
kisses sweet

As From His Cyclone Pit.

It was tempestous night on the Allan
tic, and the great steamer with its pre-
cious freight of human lives was tossed
about like cockleshcl. The tremendous
waves hurled themselves against the walls
of steel, and dashing in impotent fury
over the decks shook the leviathan from
bowsprit to rudder post. No one was Wis
ible about the ship, except such of the
crew as necessity compelled to face the
storm, and they were in imminent danger
every moment. The passengers, in mortal
terror, were huddled together in the cabin
below. Just as frightful blast had al
most thrown the ship on her beam ends,
the officer of the deck saw a passenger
stick his frowzled head up through hatch
way.
"Get back therep' yelled the officer.
"Say, cap" came an answering yell,
"is the roof gone yetP"
"No. Get back therel"
"Have any of the walls give in yetf'
"No Get back, tell you'll"
"Has the old women or the children
been blowed out of the second story win
dow YETI"
"Get back, tell you'll No."
"None of the neighbors been blowed in
through the shed roof YETI"
"No, no. tell you get back down that
hatchway, you blamed fool !'' and the Off
Ger started for the passenger.
"'Tan't so bad as l thought it was''
came final yell as the passenger lodged
into the depths below and disappeared.
"Well, who in thunder was that?" ask
I'd the officer of the purser, who stood by.
"Iie's all right' howled the purser.

Queen Elizabeth during her last illness
wore around her neck a charm made Of
gold which had been bequeathed her by an
old woman in Wales, who declared that SO
long as the queen wore it she would never
be ill. The amulet, as was generally the
case, proved of no avail, and Elizabeth,
Notwithstanding her faith in the charm,

Famous Sapphires.

One famous sapphire was found in Ben
gal by poor man who sold wooden spoons.
It was taken to Europe and bought by the
house of Raspoll at Rome. Later it be-
came the property of a German prince,
who sold it to Perret, a Partisan jeweler,
for So, ,620. 1t was absolutely without a
blemish, and weighed 176 karats. This
stone eventually found its way into the

Gen. Harrison, on his way homo from
California, said in Cheyenne few days
of Kelly's army:
believe that if the Republican policies
in administration had not been threat
enetl, that we should not have witnessed
this sad and almost appalling manifest
alton.
Gen. Harrison's head must still be very
sore to give utterances to such absurd
demagogic statements. 1t is very certain
that not member of Kelley's armey
came out of factory or mill supported
by the tariff, or that one OF them came
from protected industry closed on
account of the uncertainty OF tariff legis-
lation. Kelly himself was foreman OF a
printing office in San Francisco, receiy-
ing salary of $2l.50 week.
Coxey, Kelley q Co. are not marching
to Washington for the purpose of petit
tioning congress to enact any measures

They are simply after an appropriation

or irrigation bitches in the far West and

claim, giving employment to idle labor.
