Through Different Eyes.

What different values different wo-
men place upon their time and labor
There is no place where you can so
quickly sort out the busy women
from the idle ones as in the ''ready
made" department of a great dry
goods store. 1 stood for few min
utes the other day near a table on
which there was tangled mass of
cheap silk bodices and amused my
self by contrasting the points of view
from which the swarm of shoppers
regarded them.
Only think" said the tired look
ing woman as she turned over the
rainbow hued mass to find her size,
these things can be sold for 50, and
it would take all day to make one."
A moment later her place was tax
en- by two inveterate bargain hunt
ers."
''Three dollars for one of these
waistsl" exclaimed one in accents of
horror. You can get the silk for
50, and the Innings and buttons won't
come to more than Is cents. I'm go
ing to make mine. It won't take me
more than a day. Kate Fields

A Story of a Scholar.

Theodor Mommsen, the famous his
torian of Rome, had not only the ap-
pearance but the manner of a schoI-
ar. Once during the half hours
drive from Berlin to Charlottenburg
the car in which the professor rode
went badly off the track. The rest
of the passengers alighted, the horses
were removed, and the stranded car
was left until help could be found.
Mommsen remained, reading his
book. An hour passed, and the sound
of levers and jacks and the plunging
of horses hoofs aroused him from
his REVERE. With no sign of discom-
posture he arose from his seat and
went to the door. "Ah," said he,
I'VE seem to have come to stand
still. Exchange.

Early Smoking.

Every one has read that Hawkins
introduced tobacco, and that James
inveighed against it. Elizabeth liked
to sit on a low stool and watch Sir
Walter Raleigh putting away. Once
she bet him that he could not tell the
weight of the smoke in his pipe, but
the philosopher won. In Anne's reign
almost every one smoked In Charles
IFS reign children were sent to
school with their pipes in their satch-
els, and the schoolmaster called halt
in their studies while they smoked"
In 1902 Jorevin spent an evening
with his brother at Garraway's cof-
fee house, Leeds, and writes: Il was
surprised to see his sickly child of 3
years old fill its pipe Of tobacco and
smoke it as audfarandly as a man of
threescore; after that a second and
third pipe, without the least concern,
as 1T is said to have done above a
year ago."
There were about 40 coffee houses
in London, besides five chocolate
houses, in Anne's time. Smoking
was general in them, and intoxicants
could be also obtained as well as cot
fee. Bishop Trelawney was much
hurt because Bishop Barnett had &C
cused him of getting drunk in one of
them on the 30th of January-a day

Perthshire Queen of Scotland.

This is the central county of Scot
land in more senses than one and has
the natural and hereditary right to
be regarded as queen of the land. It
was the first to draw attention hith-
erward and still remains the chief
attraction. When the southron talks
of the highlands, he means Perth
shire; when he starts for the high
lands, he arrives in Perthshire. There
are doubtless hills beyond Gram
plans and lands beyond Tay," but on
either side of the great watershed
which marks the northern boundary
of this county there is a tendency to
become tanner and commoner.
The charm of the scene is accord
ing to the seekers. To some it may
be those stream plowed ravinas and
glacier scooped lakes, to others the
purple autumn hills, with the whir-
ring coveys of richly dark birds, but
chaym there is for all. And if men
would only leave the wild life alone,
we do not know that there would be
a more interesting and enchanting
place to spend a summer holiday
than this same Perthshire. The 9th
er counties may we'll say, as was once
said of great statesman, 1--WE are
all proud of you. Scottish Review.

Monday-Observed to Charley at
the breakfast table this morning that
l thought change of scene would be
beneficial to us both. He replied that
it would be impossible for him to get
away from business at present.
Tuesday-Ventured to remark that
when we took trip it would be just
splendid to go to Paris. He seemed
vexed at the renewal of the subject
and said quite decidedly that there
was no use to talk about it.
Wednesday-Wrote to dear mann
ma, inviting her to pay us avisit and
requesting an answer by telegraph.
Thursday-Made no allusion to our
going out of town, but followed
Charley to the front door and kissed
him affectionately as he left.
Friday-Received a dispatch from
dear mamma saying she would come
next week. Left it lying open on the
table in Charley's room.
Saturday. Charley saysthat he has
been able to arrange his business.

1t is worth while recording that the

ANIMAL IRREGULARITIES.
Some Curious Facts That Are Apparently
Beyond Our Understanding.

Beyond Our Understanding.
The greyhound runs by sight only.
This is fact. The carrier pigeon
flies his hundreds of miles homeward
by eyesight, noting from point to
point objects that he has marked.
This is only conjecture. The dragon
fly, with $4,000 lenses in his eye,
darts from angle to angle with the
rapidity of flashing sword and as
rapidly darts back, not turning in
the air, but with clash reversing
the action of his four wings and in
simultaneously calculating the dis
tance of the objects, or he would
dash himself to pieces. But in what
conformation of the eye does this
power consist2 No one can answer. :.
Ten thousand mosquitoes dance up
and down in the sun, with the minut-
est interval between them, yet no
one knocks another headlong on the
grass or breaks leg or wing, long
and delicate as they are. Suddenly
a peculiar, high shouldered, vicious
creature, with long and pendant nose,
darts out of the rising and falling
cloud, and settling on your cheek in
serts a poisonous sting. What pos
sesses the little wretch to do this2
Did he smell your blood while he was
dancing? No.one knows.
A carriage comes suddenly upon
some geese in narrow road and
drives straight through the flock. A
goose was never yet fairly run over,
nor duck. They are under the very
wheels and hoofs, and yet they con-
trive to flap and waddle safely off.
Habitually stupid, heavy and indo-
lent, they are nevertheless equal to
any emergency.
Why does the lonely woodpecker,
when he descends from his tree and
goes to drink, stop several times on
his way and listen and look around
before he takes his draft2 No one
knows. How is it that the species of
ant which is taken in battle by other
ants to be made slaves should be the
black or negro ant? No one knows.
The power of Judging of actual
danger and the free and easy bold
ness that results from it are by no
means uncommon. Many birds seem
to have correct notion of a guns
range and are scrupulously careful to
keep beyond it. The most obvious
resource would be to fly right away
out of sight and hearing, but this
they do not choose to do.
A naturalist of Brazil gives an ac-
count of an expedition that he made
to one of the islands of the Amazon
to shoot spoonbills, ibises and other
magnificent birds which are abun-
dant there. His design was complete
ly bafled, however, by a wretched
little sandpiper, which preceded him,
continually uttering his telltale cry,
which at once aroused all the birds
within hearing. Throughout the day
did this individual bird continue his
self imposed duty of sentinel to
others, effectually preventing the APP
proach of the hunter to the game and
yet managing to keep out of the
range of his gun. = Philadelphia
