His Newell Theory OF Tides.

New York Herald.
Uncle Alvah Dunning, the hermit
of the Ad~irondacks, maintains that
the earth is not round like a ball, but
as fiat as a pancake; or, at best, that
it resembles a milk pan, with enough
of an edge to it to keep the water
from running away.
A number of guests at Charlie Ben
nett's "Antlers," on Raquette lake,
were discussing the theory with I'm
Gle Alvah one day during the present
hunting season. One OF them under
took the altogether hopeless task OF
convincing the old mat of the error
OF his belief. Among other things he
called attention to the tides.
Uncle Alvah," he said, you've
heard Of tides, haven't you? How do
you account for them ii the world
isn't round?"
The old man remained silent for a
while and then drawled forth: wall,
| hev some idee as to'em."
What is IL, then?" asked the ques-
TONER, while all the sportSmen drew
near to await the anwer. Uncle Al
yah was not to be hurried, and, after
another pause, he remarked:
"Did We ever turn over in bed. l
thinks more than likely"

laughingly. "What's that got to do

slosh round, an'dldn't they get there
the same time you did,"

"Wall, that's my idee of the tides.

A retiring newspaper man gives
this philosophical reason for quitting
the business: A child is born, the
doctor in attendance gets $40, the edi-
tor notes it and gets nothing; it is
christened, the minister gets 81, the
editor writes it up and gets 90; it
marries, the minister gets another
fee, the editor gets a piece of cake or
600; in a course Of time it dies, the
doctor gets from S. to $40, the minis
ter gets another 81, the undertakes
gets 1925 to $50-the editor publishes

Everybody is interested in the an
ties of those curious little jumping
beans, which are just now displayed
in many shop windows, but few peo.
pie know what makes them jump
about in such a strange way. The
motive power is really a round fat
worm, resembling those seen in chest
nuts. 1t has sixteen little feet. which
give it a pretty good purchase against
the side of his home, so that he has
no difficulty in moving about. The
worms live in the beans from July or
August until April or May, and dc
not seem to mind their captivity in
the least. In fact, if a hole is made
in the side Of the shell the worm will
soon repair the damage by weaving Il
fine silky web over the aperture, upon
the completion of which it will re-
sumo it's nimble ways. When remov.
ed from the shell it will form another
covering for itself in a few hours. The
beans were introduced by a Chicago
druggist who, cornered the market
and expects to make a fortune ont OF
them. They grow in Mexico, and
their scientific name is capo capsa
slltitans.

How a French Mother Married Off Her Six
Delightful Daughters.

A fond mother tells how she mar
ried off her six daughters.
Il did IT," she says, with the frying
pan, a cozy fire and cushioned rocking
chair. There now. you havethe whole
story" confessed the lady.
IL would have every one of those
girls on my hands this minute if
hadn't found them husbands out Of

maid as l do a smoky chimney, when
my eldest girl vas full grown turned
right and left for some mean Of mar
rying her. Mary was neither very
handsome nor very lively, so | knew
better than to trust to luck. So l
set to work and determined upon Il
plan that has never miscarried with
any one OF them.
"All my life | have made close OBJ
%scrvations of mems ways and have
heard great stories OF the happy re-
suits of feeding the sex. So | looked
carefully over the field and picked out
a pleasant, thriving young fellow,
whose habits were good and his heart
whole. / began by asking him in a
friendly manner to call. Then | led
the conversation round to his mother,
the way he had been nurtured and
what he most cared to eat in general.
l never missed a word, and after the
first visit we got him to drop in to tea
on Sunday evening. Then you may
be sure, l did my best, and when the
second meal was over l knew the
warnings Of that mans appetite bet
ter than he did himself.
"My calculations seemed to believe
it best to start toward the close Of the
year. Spring is mo- good. A man
loves all %womankind at that season.
His appetite is slight. In my expert
ence, courtships started in November
lead, as "A rule, to IA wedding in May.
or course my chief reliance is in
tempting food, but | would always
advise supporting the liberal table
with a big, comfortable rocking chair,
drawn facing a cheerful fire. Speak
Of it as his chair and you won't
make any mistake.

gizcd for their poorness and begged
him to drop in on Thursday and let
Mary redeem her mothers reputation
with some particularly appetizing
dish. In the evenings | had her
trained to SIT in a low sewing chair
under the big lamp and either darn
socks or hem busters. When we spoke
OF her, ! trembled at the awful blow
1t would bc.for us if she should marry
and 90 away. This kind of thing was
kept up till February l, when my gen.
tleman began to feel easy and snug,
like n OF the family.
"'Then came the delicate moment,
for just at this point | would intro
duce some silly dandy that neither l
nor Mary would have looked at. But
] coddled the youngster, had him to
tea on the same night as regular and
waited to see what would happen.
The rus always succeeded. He and
Mary would come blushing to ask if
they might have each other, and
while they ma lie love in the parlor l
looked up my cookery book to see my
way to another son-in-law."

BoorLEss HOUSE SEARCHES.
Poor Natives Are Annoyed in Their
Homes by the Police.

\ penal summons was served Tues
day evening Oh Damien, an ex-police-
man, for conspiracy. He was brought
to the Station aud interrogated.
His house at the foot of Richards
street, near Queen street, was search
ed by Officers Kanae aud Publ for
arms. None were found. Mattresses
and mating were turned upside
down aud every corner in the house
searched without success. When
the officers reported back to the
Marshal, that official was very an
cry man. 1t had been reported to
him by the specials that Damien was
in a conspiracy to revolt against the
Government. Tue calibers OF three
different reviewers said to lie in his
possession were furnished the Mar
shall by the spies. After the investi-
CATION Damien was told to report to
Senior Captain Parker at y o'clock
Thursday morning. He was prompt
ly on hand, and the captain dismiss
cd him after a few questions.
Tuesday evening the room OF Pa
hald, DpdtDoy WIN pui'S III thc pioe
boat, was also searched for arms.
The search was by d. KAPPA aud
another aud was done while the
owner was absent in the pilot boat
with the S. 5. Warrimoo. Every
nook and corner, and all drawers
with the exception OF one we're
searched. This last drawer was
locked and the officers awaited the
return OF the owner. When Pakala
did arrive he handed over the key
and on the receipt acle being opened
il was found to contain tax receipt,
other papers and some money.
This second report Of non-success
very much displeased the Marshal
and it will go hard with the spies il
they report any more such con-
spiracies.
Both Damien and Pakala are very
indignant over the affair, but say
they knew IL was no use to make
any fuss over il. They are poor ma
tives. At the time the mems houses
were being searched one was looking
for employment on the arrival OF
the Warrimoo and the other was
out in the pilot boat.

VICIOUS USE OF THE CLUB.

storm Of indignation broke out in

Saturday night halicaste car
driver became overcome with liquor
it is said his first spree for seven
years and policeman arrested
him. The officer seized him roughly
by the collar, when the offender told
him there was no need for such vio.
lsnce, that no would walk along
quietly. This not suiting the cop,
the car driver, who is a strong man,
shook himself clear OF the grip on
his collar. The policeman thereupon
proceeded to club the prisoner with
out stint, one Of the blows making
the victims wrist and hand power,
less for three days. 1t took the aid
OF another policeman, ultimately,
to got the prisoner to the station,
where he would have gone quietly
il hs had not been abused.

They are entirely different and

we have ever had before. One

they might have been used in
Pompeii before the fall. We
had some Sewing Lamps of the
same design that were sold
within twenty-four hours after
we opened the cases. They're
beauties in every respect. In
this same class of goods our
Piano Lamps are deserving of
special mention. Brass and
Nickel Stands prevail and the
patterns are every one new.
These Lamps are useful even
to people who have electric
lights in their houses, for we
have no doubt the Superinten-

with the same perfection that
