AN ~ABSENTMlNDED MAN.
He Went Fishing and Forgot That IL Was
His Wedding Day.

He Went Fishing and Forgot That IL Was
His Wedding Day.
The Rev. George Harry st. minister Of
Thames Ditton, a great scholar and
skillful fisherman, was one of the most
absentminded men of his time. He was
engaged to a daughter of the bishop of
London, bat Oh the day of his wedding,
being gudgeon fishing, he overstaid the
appointed hour, and the lady, justly Of
Tended at his neglect, broke Off the
match. With Arthur Onslow, the
speaker of the house of commons, Mr..
Harvest was Oh terms of great intimacy.
Being one day in a punt together Oh the
Thames, he began to read a beautiful
dassage from some Greek author, and
throwing himself backward in an ecstasy
fell into the river, whence he was with
difficulty fshed out.
When Lord Sandwich was canvassing
for the vice chancellorshipo of Cambridge,
Harvest, who had been his schoolfellow
at Elton, went down to give him his
vote. In a large company the two were
joking together on their schoolboy tricks.
The parson suddenly exclaimed,
"Whence do you derive your nickname
of Jimmie Twitcher?" why" an
swered his lordship. "from some foolish
fellow" "No, no." interrupted Har-
vest, sit isn't some but every body that
calls you So"
When this gentleman's mind was not
absent, it was, however, very useful to
him. Having lost himself at Calais, and
not being able to speak a word OF
French, he managed to convey to the
inhabitants that he was staying at the
Silver Lion by putting a shilling in his
mouth and setting himself in the atti-
tude of a lion rampant. Illus

twas the greatest first baseman l ever

when he was a mind to, but he was the

didn't play no ball when he could git

a spiked foot or a split thumb or some
thin Of the kind, an ginerally made out
to lay off more'n half the time. The
summer we were playin in the Western
league we struck a manager who was
onto Hanks curves. He took him to
one side when the season begun an toll
him that he wouldn't stand no gratis.
He marked out to him that if he didn't
play every day he would git laid off an
lose his pay. Sore heels an thumbs was

"Hank, bein lazier than ever that

but he was hot after the long green, an
he KEEP playin along an kickin like a

The LANGUAGE OF FINGERS,
Their Silent Talk Is Important In Board Of
Trade Transactions.

Inelr S1lcHt Ialk Is important In BOard OF
Trade Transactions.
Thousands Of visitors who yearly go
to the board of trade and watch the
traders on the exchange floor from the
public gallery express surprise at the
rapid manner in which business is trans
acted. AS e rule, the wheat pit attracts
them, and they do not understand how
commodities change hands with such
lightning rapidity, and how hundreds of
thousands and millions of bushels are
bought and sold in an incredibly short
space of time is to the novice a pro-
found mystery. They do not know that
the brokers do a great deal of their work
by finger signs, seldom understood by
the outsider.
1t requires only the fraction of a Sec
ond to buy and sell so, 900 bushels of
wheat.
9TH sell so Sep at an eighth
cries one of the brokers, and he has
hardly finished speaking before another
on the opposite side yells "Sold." The
trade is put down on the trading card,
and the transaction, which involves cver
$50, 600, has been completed.
The number of bushels offered for sale
is indicated by holding up one finger for
each 5, 900 bushels. So in selling SO, 600
bushels the broker simply holds up both
hands and waves them from him, which
explains itself as wanting to dispose of
the lot. In addition to this, brokers
have a complete finger code by which
the condition of the market is commu-
nicated. The signs generally used are
as follows:
The first finger held up stands for
one-eighth Of l cent, as the traders all
know the main price. If, for instance,
the first sale of wheat after the market
opened was made at 60 cents and the
next at CO.'S cents, the trader simply
holds up one finger for the advance of
o%ne-eighth of 1 cent. The upward posi-
ton of the finger is to show the upward
course of the market. Should the market
be bearish and the price decline to 59T
cents, the signal for this would be a
closed hand, with the thumb pointing
downward. This shows the price seven
eighths of a cent and the status of the
market downward.-Chicago Tribune.

Lovers Ink.

There are various kinds of invisible
inks, but here is a method Of making
ink which can be wiped off a sheet of
paper with a pocket handkerchief with
out leaving a trace: Dissolve some
starch in water until it is as thick as
cream. Then add to it a few drops of
tincture of iodine, which will turn the
starch to a dark red color. Now take a
pen and write with this prepared ink
upon a sheet of note paper. The ink
will dry right away, after which you
may erase the whole of your letter by
simply wiping the sheet with a pocket
handkerchief. 1t will disappear as east
ly as chalk from an ordinary black
board.-Boston Post.

FELL INTO MILLIONS.
The Slip OF His Horse Resulted In the Rider
Discovering q Great Mine.


One of the most productive mines in
California was discovered through an
accidental fall of the discoverer. He
was one of a hunting party that mad
gone out from San Francisco during the
Christmas holidays. While passing
along the side of a steep hill on a mar
row trail his horse suddenly slipped,
and with his rider went down into the
gulch.
Happening to be the last in the line
and some distance behind the others, he
was not missed for some moments, but
when his absence was noticed the party
turned back tt look for him, fearing
where to be seen, but the place where
his horse had slipped and fallen over
the bank, together with the traces of
the fall, was plainly visible. Following
the tracks made by the falling horse and
man, and when ear the bottom, the
men suddenly came upon an interesting
spectacle. just behind a clump of bushes
which the man and his steed had
crashed through on their way down
stood the horse, apparently u%ninjured,
while near by, on a slab of rock pro-
jecting from the snow, the man was
capering like an Indian at a ghost
dance.
The first impression of the rescuing
party was that the man had gone sud-
denly crazy, but as he caught sight of
them he suddenly ceased his gyrations
and shouted for them to approach. They
came, when he showed them several
Jumps of almost pure gold he had has
tily knocked from the edge with a stone
for a hammer and announced his dis
covery of a gold mine. The sliding
horse had brought up against the ledge,
and the FESTIVE animal, kicking vigor-
ously in the efforts to rise, had struck
off the moss from the stone and dis
closed the fact that it was a gold bear
ing ledge of unusual richness. The find
was appropriately named "The Christ
mas Gift. and a valuable gift it proved
to be.-Chicago Times.

KYLE BELIEVES VANITY.
How 1t Was Once Sadly Disconnected by an
American Girl.

how 1t Was Once Sadly Disconnected by an
American Girl.
There had been lively discussions
some years ago over a then seemingly
important question Electrically, and in
deed socially, WAS or was not Kyrle
Bellew possessed of great yanity?"
1 believe the matter has never been
definitely settled, though in an individ-
ual instance l recall it would seem there
was valid ground for a decision in the
affirmative.
The occasion was an informal "even-
ing" at Mrs.. Lester Wallack's, and
gathered about one of the tables were
two or three young ladies, Nh. Bellew
and other men. Bellew had some bits of
paper in his hands, from which he was
idly fashioning little boats. 81 hear"
he drawled, addressing no II i'll par
t%icular, "that your American navy is
badly in need of ships. l propose to
remedy the trouble by presenting you
with a few" One girl spoke up quickly
in slightly sarcastic vein, II am sure
we all render sincere thanks in the
name of the American navy"
The actor favored her by an especially
comprehensive glance, and finishing his
boat penciled a few lines on it and
rather patronizingly tossed it over to
her.
The girl picked the boat up slowly
{this was the first occasion she had met
Mr.. BELIEVE and read: "My love to you.
Kyrle Bellew." A rather vivid flush
overspread her face, but looking the
young man steadily in the eyes she said
in tones sufficiently clear for compre-
hension, '"The sentiment inscribed here
Indicating the paper boat is surely toe
much of an honor for any one woman
to aspire to; so, with your permission,
Mr.. Bellew, | will take it home, rattle
it and-send you the proceeds" She
then rose, bowed and left the table, at
the same time leaving Mr.. Bellew sufi-

FIRST AND LAST.

Hope smiles a welcome, though none other

Upon our entrance to this world of pain.
And on each purpose of our youth again,
With an inspiring sympathy, she smiles.
She leads US forth to battle and beguiles
Our anguish, if the long fight proves in vain,
TIL, pierced with countless wounds, among
the slain
We leave her, while the victor foe ~reyiles.
But, even as we touch at ruins verge,
n hear the voices of despair, that urge
The fatal plunge to chaos, hope, alone
How healed and how ransomed none may

Rising again, in pallid loneliness,
Resumes her sway, a thousand times DER

Chemical Reaction.

A French chemist has lately made
some Investigations in a field not hither-
to so thoroughly explored as many 9TH
ers, and from them he draws the con-
clusion that chemical reaction cannot
occur between 125 degrees and $50 de-
grees. Sulphuric acid and ammonia
will not react at so degrees, while at so
to 65 degrees the action is sudden and
violent. Neither caustic soda nor caustic
potash can be made to unite with the
same acid below 1876 degrees c. nor
with %oarbonates below 80 degrees. With
the latter, brisk effervescence sets in
about 80 degrees. If nitric instead of
sulphuric acid is used in such expert
ments, the temperature where reaction
begins seems to be lowered in every
case.-New York Sun.

There is in II of the departments

call st. Murphy, not because she is SO

that leaves nothing to be desired.
She comes into the dining room &C
companied by a little girl and boy. My
woman's eye soon detects something a
little out of the usual. The children
look too young to lie hers, so I make in
quiries and find that they are hers by
adoption. She found these children with
a dying mother, whom she made haI ~
by promising to care for them. HUw
faithfully she is keeping her promiset
She has taken them to her heart. They
show, as children always do. that they
have not only food and clothes, but love,
and plenty of it. Do you wonder that [
call her saint? Here is that woman, at
the age when women soonest tire, going
daily to her work, no matter what the
weather, cold Or rain, denying herself
that she may make these children CON-
Portable. When I see her in the evening,
weary from her days work, but her
dear old face beaming with love, I say
