During the engagement here of
Kellar, the magician, he in company
with some of his friends visited the
Center market. He vas very much
interested in the rows Of old colored
women who crouch along the Bstreet
side, behind punches of sassafras
root, red peppers, onions and a few
eggs, which seem to constitute a new
er failing source Of income. Going
up to one of the old crones, the wiz
ard said, "How much + your eggs,
aunty?" "Twenty-three cents, hon
ey," was the reply as she calmly
continued sucking her pipe. eth
try a half Dozen" and Kellar pro-
ceeded to crack one, and in addition
to it's legitimate contents a gold dol
lar came out Of the shell. Another
was broken, and a SIS goldpiece came
to light; one more, and a golden ca
gle was Matched. By this time the
old colored woman was in a state of
tremulous excitement, her pipe fail
en- to the ground, spectacles on top
of turban and sassafras, onions and
peppers overturned on the sidewalk
in her endeavor to get a closer view
of then aigs."
"How much will you take for the
rest?" said a bystander, indicating
a few left in the basket, held tightly
in the old wOman's arms. "'Deed,
chile" she said, with emphasis,
"dese here aigs arn't fun sale. -

"Some girls are too cute for anything"
remarked a Boston drummer. with his
left arm off at the elbow.
"As to how!' inquired the hotel clerk,
who was a connoisseur.
I'm various ways" continued the
drummer, "but in one particular way
which recently became a part of my ex-
perience."
"For instances" suggested the clerk.
at happened out in Missouri" said
the drummer. Il stopped over Sunday
in a little town where one of my custom
ers had a rather pretty daughter, and to
while away the time asked her to go
buggy riding with me, which she con-
sented to do very readily. AS we We're
about to get in she hesitated a moment.
"'Wha is it?' l asked.
"'Ill sit on the right side of the bug
gy,' she said, jumping in.
"'What's that for?' l asked rather
quickly, feeling that she thought Icould
not drive with this one hand of mine.
"'Well if you don't know what for

stupid to learn. Get in here and move
on And l did get in, and we moved
on."-St. Joseph Herald.

Noise as an Aid For the Deaf.

"Ihavc noticed that deafness is on
the increase" said a physician yes
terday. 1T is a deafness of a pecul-
iar sort too. For instance, | know a
number of people who are very deaf
when addressed in quiet place, and
yet if surrounded by various loud
noises they can hear without any
trouble. Engineers tell me that when
off their engines it is impossible for
them to hear ordinary conversation,
but as soon as they get back on their
engines they can hear the slightest
sounds. This strikes me as being
strange, yet it is a fact. The tele-
phone has been recommended by GER
tain medical authorities as a cure for
deafness of some sort, the causes of
which are quite ordinary. When
there is a hardening process of the
membranes of the ear, the gurgitat-
ing noise of the telephone when put
to the ear stimulates and promotes
circulation SO that it is beneficial. y

There are only six tons of platinum
commercially in existence. 1t is in
dispensible for glow electric lamps,
for no other metal as good an electric
conductor can be fused into the glass.
Therefore its price has increased
within recent years many hundred
times and threatens to go yet higher.
Either a substitute conductor will
have to be discovered OF anew varie-
ty of glass made with coefficient of
expansion nearer that of ordinary
metal. There is a big bonanza here
for some inventor. - Baltimore

Long Wait.

Some years ago an enormous deposit of
anthracite coal was discovered i'm Canada,
and it was thought that if a duty was
not placed upon it our miners in Penn
~sylvania would be driven from the field.
Somebody secured a specimen of the
Canadian anthracite and sent it to a
savant at Yale, who was asked to give
his opinion upon it. He made an exami-
nation of it and wrote back, "My opin-
ion, after a careful examination of this
coal, Is hat the man who sits upon it ON
the day Of judgment will be the last to
burn. "-Argonaut.

Costly Cigars.

The Rothschilds smoke the most
costly cigars that + made the
Henry Clay Sobranos," costing
near ) shillings ($1.25). These are
wrapped in gold leaf and packed in
little inlaid cedarwood cabinets.
These millionaire princes buy three
cabinets at a time, containing AZ, O0O
cigars, 20, 900 Havanas, and one kind
originally made for Marshal Prim
as a present for Napoleon III, at a
cost of 80, 900 francs. Each cigar was
tipped with gold at each end and
stamped with the imperial N in
gold.-EXchange.

1t is remarkable to what extent
Indian mathematics enter into the
science of our time. Both the form
and the spirit of the arithmetic and
algebra of modern times are essen
TALLY Indian and not Grecian. Think
of that most perfect of mathematic-
al symbolisms-the Hindoo nota-
ton; think of the Indian arithmet-
ical operations nearly as perfect as
our own; think of their elegant al
%gebraical methods, and then Judge
whether the Brahmans on the banks
of the Ganges are not entitled to
some credit.
Unfortunately some of the most
brilliant of Hindoo discoveries in in
determinate analysis reached Europe
too late to exercise the influence
they would have eXerted had they
come two Or three centuries earlier.

Kuskin's Hatred of Chrysanthemums.

Mr.. Ruskin was asked if he did
not admire chrysanthemums in the

production of chrysanthemums as an
unhallowed attempt to grow flowers
at a season when nature meant that
there should be no flowers, and so
the startling answer came, Il hate

TO REPAIR KAWAIAHA0.
Plans Laid For Work on the Old
Church.

The committee appointed to attend
to the repairing of kawaiahao
Church, met yesterday afternoon.
Six members were present. A gen
eral discussion as to what parts
should be repaired was followed by a
motion to have an architect appoint
ed to draw up plans. This was
seconded and unanimously adopted.
That Kawaishao will need more
than the money made at the late
fair before all the repairing needed
is attended to goes without saying.
A gentleman interested IN the vel
fare of the church has given Rev.
Mr.. Parker a good scheme which was
communicated 20 those present at
the meeting. Briefly, it is to have
pamphlets printed with sketch Of
the old church and a small photo
graph on the front, these to be sent
all over the islands, and the sum of
one dollar asked for each. This
scheme was unanimously approved.
After a prayer the meeting ad-
journed, to meet when the plans are
handed in by the architect.
