Satisfied His Curiosity.

A young man of practical turn of mind
and living on a salary of SIS week was
curious to know whether or not he could
afford to assume the responsibilities of a
family. In his own language he thus tells
how he satisfied his curiosity:
II told my sister, who is widow with
one child, that would like to experiment
for one week and ascertain for myself the
actual cost of maintaining small family,
my wages being SIS week. She was will
ing. She had a suit of four rooms, for
which she paid $14 month. Well, paid
the rent for one week and bought all her
coal and wood and meat and groceries and
paid for her laundry work and my own,
etc. At the end of the seven days found
that out of the SIS there remained but
$1.03. So, as am modest man and have
decided objections to adopting the costume
of the South Sea islanders, came to the
conclusion that would remain single and
wear clothes. philadelphia Times

A Kentucky Mountain BAH.

"a Kentucky ball as given in the noun
tains of eastern Kentucky may not be as
swell an affair as a charity ball, said q
native of the state, but there is more go
to one of them than to dozen fancy balls.
A ball in Kentucky usually lasts two or
three days. When one of the old residents
decides to give the boys and girls real
smart time, he simply mounts one of the
boys on a mule and sends him to all the
neighbors and notifies them Of the event.
The women folks proceed to cook all the
edibles they can procure. The men furnish
the liquor and the music. Each one is as
sessed his proportion of the expense, and
the merrymaking begins. There are two
relays of fiddlers and banjoists, who take
turns in playing. Everything is run on
Free wild plan. The gals must dance
with all the boys. A refusal will not be
tolerated. 1t is usually such an incident
that starts the fights that characterize one
of these entertainments. The guests dance,
sing, eat, drink and grow merrier with ev-
cry hour until the host announces, Liquor
and grub out, boys Then each mounts
his horse or mule, swings his best girl on
behind and journeys homeward. Every
one is supposed to make up any little dis
pute they may have hRd SO that when the
ball is over all differences are at an end.

The Fireman Came.

The company Of which Gus Bruno was
a member arrived in Philadelphia one cold
evening. Mr.. Bruno went up to his room
about midnight. When he entered the
room, he saw printed notice over the bell
rope to the effect that one ring was for wa
ter, two for hremen, etc. Mr.. Bruno put
GOAL on the fire and then gave the bell two
vigorous pulls.
In about two minutes the still night
was broken by the sounds Of fire engines
arriving, and the yells of firemen could be
heard as they assembled the stairs. Mr..
Bruno placed chair against his room
door, and mounting 1t put his head
through the transom. He saw strange
sight. Guests, men and women, were hur-
rying to and fro in their nightclothes.
Firemen were rushing about shouting and
knocking people down who got in the way.
"Hey, hey sis, sisl" said Mr.. Bruno. A
fireman rushed up.

Oldest Coal Mine In America.

When we consider the fact that the
whole eastern range of mountains, those
natural barriers that were first encoun-
tered by the European explorers in Amer
lea, are regularly stratified with several
seams of coal, both anthracite and btu
minous we cannot help expressing sur
prise when the historian informs us that
the first American coal mine was discov-
cred in what is now the state Of Illinois.
In Hennepin's account of his explorations
in the west in the years 1874 he tells Of
an outcrop Of coal on the Illinois river not
far from Ottawa, 1.-THE shelly fragments of
which burned with bright light and gave
forth much heat" Herndon says that this
is the first historical mention Of coal being
found in what is now the United States
st. Louis Republic.

The True Ideal.

The true ideal that should fill mans
heart and fire his energies is excellence in
his own sphere the living Of his own par
ticular life Just as fully and nobly as he
not somebody else-can. True, this is an
unknown quantity, but it is real and at
tainable one. Day by day it is rising, and
day by day man may feel conscious Of
increased power. Whittier it may lead him
he cannot tell, but that by it's guidance he
will go farther and accomplish more than
by any other he may rest assured. At
tempting nothing impossible, heis doomed
to no inevitable disappointment, nor is
there any limit at which he may cease to
strive.-Self Help.

The Two Magnetic Poles.

Close investigation of the phenomena of
magnetism has proved that the north and
south magnetic poles are neither identical
with the geographical poles, but that they
are in the neighborhood of the earth's axis
Of rotation. In the case of the north mag
netic pole the exact location is well known
lat 81 degrees west longitude and 7016
degrees north latitude. The location of the
south magnetic pole is not known to GER
tainty, but is believed to be near $50 de-
grees east longitude and rs degrees south

Or. MoCosh and the Freshman.

Ex-President McCosh of Princeton is
working on his autobiography, which is
not to be published until after his death.
A story is told of him to illustrate his con
tinued interest in the students. A fresh
man on the way to the college library was
accosted by Dr. McCosh.
"And how do you do, sirS think 1
know you, sir, but cannot recall your
name, SIR"
The freshman gave his name and added
that his father was an alumnus of the col
lege.
Every WELL sir; think know him,
sir, but cannot recall his name. And Is
your father well2'
''He has been dead for several years, I"
replied the STUDENT
This terminated the interview until DR..
MoCosh had secu red his mail from the
postoffice and had tmet the same freshman

When to Exercise.

When to exercise is an important con-
sideration. If the morning only is avail
able, the exercise should be light. Partic-
ularly is this the case If one is engaged in
any work. The supply Of energy must not
be drawn from at the beginning Of the
day. The afternoon is perhaps the best
time for exercise when one has gained
strength from the absorption of the morn
ing and noon meals. Those who exercise
vigorously at night should eat midday
dinner Exercise should always precede
bathing, and not as a rule, follow it. In
this respect the ancient Greeks showed
great wisdom. Exercise and bathing they
called the two pillars Of strength. Exercise
was Hercules and bathing Apollo. Both
were regarded with equal Importance and
neither was complete without the other
New York Sun.

Cannot Chicago be excused from
further appearance in the base ball field?
IL must be painful to be obliged to de-
feat them-and then just think of the
folks at home. And so soon after the
fair. too.
Gen. Pat. Collins, of Boston, who rep
resents the United States as consul gen.
eral at Liverpool, need never expect
more favors at the hands of the Ameri-
can people. He was asked to subscribe
to base ball fund the other day, but he
demurred and told the petitioner that he
never saw game of ball, horse race or
prize fight in his life. This story was

Rhinoceros Shooting.

A hunter in Africa tells how he shot his
first rhinoceros near Kilima-Njaro. He
crawled along the grass till within 30
yards of the big beast. "Then," he says,
az raised my head, saw that some 20 yards
farther on there was tuft of slightly long
er grass and determined to get up to this
before firing. However, just before we
reached it some half dozen birds came from
the direction of the other two rhinos and
settled on our cows back, but we eventu-
ally succeeded in reaching the tuft. The
difficulty now was to get into sitting po-
sition and ready to shoot without being
seen by the birds. To do this worked my
legs toward the rhino as 1 lay on my side
and gradually raised myself into a sitting
position, but at that instant the birds saw
me and flew up with their usual cry Of
alarm. At the same moment the rhino
raised herself on her fore legs like huge
pig, and then realized that was nearer
than intended to get only about 30 yards
separating us, but she did not appear to
see me. As she remained sitting in this
position, without moving my body, which
knew might attract attention, stretched
out my arm behind me for the four bore,
but did not feel it at first and thought that
for once my faithful Ramazan had received
rather a shock to his nerves on finding
himself at fuoh close quarters. However,
he put it il Ito my hand at last, after de-
lay of peril bps two seconds, which appeared
to me muf III longer, and quickly planted
q bullet On the point of her left shoulder,
which Knocked her over. Reloading before
I moved, saw she was still down, but
making desperate efforts to get up, but as
she was lying on her left side, with her
broken shoulder under her, she was unable
to do so, and ran up and dispatched her
with shot in the neck. "-Badminton

PREYER's PREDlCAMENT.
A Ludicrous Incident In the Life Of the Fa-
nous Painter.
P. F. CAMPIGLIO.

A Ludicrous Incident In the Life Of the Fa-
nous Painter.
John w. Preyer, the famous painter Of
still life, was a remarkably small speci-
men of the genus homo, differing, how
ever, from ordinary dwarfs in the SYM
metry and exact proportion of all the parts
of his diminutive frame. When between
20 and 80 years Of age, his fresh, rudy and
beardless face and the shrin and boyish
tone of his voice caused people to take him
for child of about at the most This IL
fusion was still further heightened by his
dress, q short black velvet jacket, with q
large turn down collar, over which his
smoothly parted hair hung in thick clus-
tiers. When about this age, Preyer paid a
visit to Munich in order to inspect the art
treasures in that city, and also to visit his
old patron, Master Cornelius, a former
president of the Dusseldorf academy.
When Preyer called at the house of the lat
ter, he had gone out, and the servant who
had answered the door ran to tell her mis-
tress that a little boy was waiting outside
to see the master. The lady went to speak
to the visitor.
''What is 1t you want, my childS" she
asked the painter, who at the approach Of
the lady took off his velvet cap and made
deep bow, saying in O shrill voice:
II wish to speak to Mr.. Cornelius.
"He is not at home at present, but If you
will step inside you can wait for him. He
will not be long"
So saying, she took the little fellow into
the parlor and offered him stool to sit on.
In short time the fair hostess became
quite charmed with her youthful visitor,
and at last she lifted him on her lap and
listened with intense delight to the inno-
cent prattle of the clever Child" Sud
denly the door opened, and Cornelius him
self appeared. Taking in the situation at
a glance he cried:
"Ah! Good morning, Mr.. Preyer. How
on earth did you get hereH"
"MF Preyerl' And with shrek Mrs.
Cornelius jumped up tumbled Preyer on
the floor and fed into the next room, while
Cornelius and Preyer, after the latter had
picked himself up again, laughed till the
tears streamed down their cheeks The for
mer had some difficulty in getting his wife
to come back again. At last she mustered
sufficient courage to allow herself to be
formally introduced to the strange visitor,
who was retained as guest to dinner, over
which the amiable hostess presently re-
gained her former self possession.
