Not long ago the Prince Of Wales was
one of a house party, his host being a
we'll known peer. After dinner the roy
al guest, the host and the ot&er male Wis
itors repaired to the billiard room. On a
table at the side were two or three boxes
of cigars; and the prince was helping
himself to one, when an ambitious mil

from his pocket cigar case held it out
to the prince. saying, 81 think, sir, you

On the shores of Lake Rangkul, in
the Cashgar mountains, in central
Asia, stands the famous Lamp Rock of
Asia, which is so called from cave in
its side from which a constant stream
of pale, greenish light is emitted. Ney
Elias, the English adventurer, who pass
ed it in 1885, thinks it possible that the
light is due to some phosphorescent
mineral in the sides of the cavern near
its opening. The natives Of that section
have never attempted to investigate the
matter, each seeming content with the
story told by his father, which is this:
"The cave is the dwelling place of a
demon, who guards vast treasures stored
there, and the light is from diamond
worn in band around his forehead. "
Elias explanation of the mystery is
probably the true one. st. Louis Re

How q Philosophical Discourse Was Born
of the Timidity of a Backwoods Couple.
1t did not take close observer to see
that they were from the country. His
tall and lean figure was adorned with
an i'll fitting suit of clothes, and his
large, clumsy boots were still covered
with the dust of country roads-a sight
so keenly appreciated by the courteous
bunko steerer.
She had rosy cheeks and was plump OF
figure. Had she worn other than a red
dress and not an old fashioned bonnet
with green ribbons, she might have been
termed real pretty.
They stood in front of the Astor House
looking about them in dazed sort OF
way. Evidently their desire was to cross
the street, but the long line of trucks
and wagons, the cable cars with their
incessant changing and the noise gen.
orally caused them to hesitate.
Presently she clutched him by the arm
and anxiously, even nervously, looked
into his face.
"Mercy, John, let's go back ter hum.
This noise is too much"
eyer right" replied John. Cant
stand it myself"
She clutched his arm, and with hur-
ried steps they proceeded down Barclay
street.
A party of gentlemen on the steps OF
the Astor House had been watching the
couple and overheard the remarks passed
between them.
''That shows you what effect environ.
ment has upon people," said one philo-
sophically. "They were brought up in
the country, where probably no muir.
muir of the business and commercial
world ever found its way. To them the
lazy wind signing among the branches
of the trees, the singing of the birds and
the running waters of the brook form an
important part of their daily life. They
would be unhappy, even in the grandest
palace, without this simple yet beauti-
full music of nature.
''Yet how different it is with me. add
undoubtedly with you all! l tire of the
country in few days. To me the scene
before us now is as inspiring and beauti-
full as any l ever saw elsewhere. The
rumbling of the vehicles over the pave
ment, the changing of the bells, the hiss
ing of steam, the hurrying feet and the
unceasing noise of hustle and business
all combine to make one grand sympho-
ny that my ears never tire of hearing. ]
can work and think the better for it,
but were banished to some rustic scene
work would cease, inspiration would
leave me, and would even be unhappy,
longing for the busy environments of
city like New York.
"As it is with individuals, soft is with
nations, with kingdoms, empires and re-
publics. Their characters, their traits
and their nationa1ities can all be traced
to their surroundings, and believe there
is nothing in what we call human ma
ture that is not result of environment.
Change the universe, the customs and
manner of living, and, mark my word,
you change human nature"
The philosophical gentleman looked
proudly at his listeners, and with t1e
bow of an orator retiring from the plat
form he sauntered into the lobby OF the
Astor House.-New York Herald.

Senators In the Barber,s Chair.

A workman in the senate barber shop
in Washington is credited with saying
that the senators are the most peace
full" men to shave he has ever met,
though some of them are particular.
One senator, he says, he has twice shay
ed three times in one day, not because
his beard grows SO fast, but because the
senator likes the sensation. Another
senator 'has pair of little side wills.
kers of which he is fond and to which
he devotes any amount of attention. "
He did not reveal all this to any sena-
tor, and to the helpless man to whom it
was communicated he said with de-
spairing tone, You know we are not
allowed to talk to our senatorial Gus
toners unless they talk to us first. :" Who
would not wish to be United States
senator while being shaVed?-Chicago

Five Cent Lodging Houses Where Chairs
Take the Place of Beds.

Five Cent Lodging Houses Where Chairs
Take the Place of Beds.
Finding lodging place for the night
when one has but cents-an ordinary
street car fare nickel-is no easy job.
Lodging houses where the beds rent for
10 cents hold as grimly to tariff prices
as a coal combine In arctic weather
would do. 1t is case of fiat money
with those people. If they had 500 beds
and but five dodgers, the sixth could not
get an abatement, even though his flesh
were dropping from his bones with
frost. mo pay, no bed, F" is the motto,
and they stick to it.
Nowadays dimes are being with
drawn from circulation. At least the
people who are forced into begging
them report that to be the state of the
money market. Two nickles make o
dime, it is true, and SO do 10 pennies,
but there seems to be bear movement
in small coins, and this form of cur
rency also is hard to get, especially SO
for those who either can't, don't or
won't work for it.
AS matter of fact there are many
hundred persons in Chicago every night
who cannot purchase q lodging for lack
of means and who stay out SO late that
access to the station houses is denied
because they are already overcrowded.
These people will then sleep anywhere.
All they want is cover from the night.
That can be had in Chicago for
cents. But the lowest tramp, if for
tune favored him with a dime, would
shrink with horror from lodging in
such a place. There are one or two
places of the kind in Chicago, and they
are hard to find. When found, they are
the very apotheosis of degradation, dirt
and dinginess. Beside the cent places
those where admittance is dime are
palaces. For cents the ledger is al
lowed the privilege of chair until
morning - simply that and nothing
more.
The keepers of such places form the
lowest elements of society. They do
not treat their patrons as humans, nor
yet as beasts of the field. The cent
wretch becomes an object for blows and
kicks. When his nickel enters the greasy
pocket that gapes for it, he is then an
atom of squalor, and he is treated &C
cordingly.
Recently the Atlas hotel was visited.
1t is probably the worst lodging house
in Chicago. The prices begin at cents
and run to Is cents. 1t is located on
Custom House place few yards from
Van Buren, street. On one side of it is
a stable. There the horses get clean
straw every night for bedding. On the
other side is deserted church, which
has been purchased and which will be
shortly converted into another lodging
house. Amid such surroundings the
poor fellow who has but nickel is al
lowed to stay over night. He can sit on
a three legged chair, OF he can lie down
on the floor. In either event he is forced
to sleep with another man half cover
ing him, for every night the filthy eel
lar is crowded. Chicago Inter Ocean.

THE ANGLER FISH.
It Secures Its Prey Like an Artist, With
Regular Strategy.

It Secures Its Prey Like an Artist, With
Regular Strategy.
There is fish that secures its prey
like an artist, with regular strategy,
and, strange to relate, nature has fur
nished it with a full equipment for the
purpose, rod, line and bait. The an
gler, as it is called, is by no means a
beauty. It is about yard long and
has huge, toadlike head, an enor
nous, gaping mouth and formidable
array of teeth. The first dorsal, or back
fin, is almost wholly wanting, its place
being occupied by two or three long.
slender, movable spines which are fas-
tened to the body by means of joints.
One is attached by hinge, which per-
mits of only backward and forward mo-
ton.
The first spine is connected by reg
ular ring and staple and admits of
movement in all directions, as it is pull
ed this way or that by the muscles.
This is the anglers pole, which contin-
ues into fine filament or line, and at
the end there is loose, shining slip of
membrane, which plays the part of q
bait.
The angler fish is slow swimmer, and
it would have but little success if it had
to chase the swift, active fishes upon
which it feeds, SO it snares them. Par
TALLY hiding itself in the mud or sand,
it waves its long filaments with their
glittering tips. AS is we'll known, fishes
are attracted by glistening objects
moved about in the water. The neigh
boring fishes, following the instincts of
their inquisitive nature, come to exam
inc the curious object, and suddenly
they find themselves snapped up in the
wide jaws of their hidden foe,
The angler is a very voracious crea-
ture, and on several occasions it has
been known to seize fish that had been
hooked and was being drawn to the
surface. In one such case the angler
seized a Goldfish and would not loosen
its grip until it was struck on the head
with boathook. On another occasion
the fish fell a victim to it's own glut-
tony, for having dashed at a conger eel
that had just been hooked, and having
taken it into its mouth, the eel con-
trived to escape through one of the gill
Grertures, and thus 1t was the uncon-
sc;ors ,neans a. l-~niving Its captor In
its own fate.
Even the cork floats on lines and nets
have been swallowed by the greedy
fish, and when taken in net it de-
YOURS it's fellow prisoners with perfect
unconcern. Mary M. Friend in Phila-
delphia Times.

After the Weddine.

How soon should calls upon bride
be nader is a question that has been
frequently asked. Calls upon bride
should be made very soon after her re-
turn from her wedding trip, if no day
for such has been designated, and as
Immediate a visit must be paid to her
mother or person at whose house the re-
eeption was held. The bride returns
her calls soon and 50 far as possible in
the order in which they are made. Her
neglect to acquit herself of these debts
would be inexcusable, and person SO
careless would deserve to be socially
forgotten, Detroit Free Press.

When to Wind Your Watch.

During the night your watch is quiet,
as it were-that is, it hangs in your
vest without motion or touch. If You
don't wind it at night, the handspring
is then relaxed. instead of being in that
condition during the day. By winding
it in the morning the handspring re-
mains close and tight all day. 1t keeps
the movement steady at time when
you are handling it, running about the
city attending to your daily affairs. A
relaxed handspring at this time accounts
for fine watches varying slightly.-In-
