COMPRESSED LiDs.

The compressed lip so loved and sc
often misinterpreted by novelists is
a sign of weakness rather than OF
strength. It tells of perpetual con
fiicts, in which the reserves are called
into the fray. The strong will is not
agitated into strenuous action by the
small worries of the hour, and the
great occasions which call for its
whole forces are too few to produce
a permanent impress of this kind up
on the features. The commanding
officer, assured of his mems obedi-
ence, does not habitually keep his
lip muscles in a state Of tension.
Look at the sea captain, the most alb
solute monarch on earth. He car
ries authority and power in his face,
but it resides in his eye and the con-
fdent assurance of his easily set
mouth. Whoever saw a man COM
handing a man-of-war Or driving a
locomotive with the contentious lip
of a school usher?
The lip Of the careful housewife is
accounted for as follows: Generally
speaking, it is a strenuous contest
with minor difficulties which pro-
duces a thin and rigid set of the lips.
It is seen almost invariably in house
wives Of the Martha type, who are
careful and troubled about many
things" and whose souls are shaken
to the center by petty worries within
doors and strife a outrance with
shortcomings of the scullery maid or
the cook.-Blackwood's Magazine.

His Answer.

A good hearted old German citizen
of a nearby Illinois town recently
received telegram from PARKWAY
state informing him of the sudden
death there of a friend whom he had
known in his boyhood days in the
fatherland. The message read: Fred
erick died suddenly today. Answer. !"
The exact reason for the answer
desired by the distant sender of the
telegram was not apparent. The
distance was too great for the Illinois
man to think Of journeying there to
witness the last sad rites at the grave,
but the message called for an an
swer, and the messenger was given
the usual instructions to get an an
swer. The white haired man was
visibly affected by the news Of the
sudden death of his friend. The
tears came one by one and trickled
down over his wrinkled face. How
ever, in his sudden grief he did
not overlook that one last word.
With a trembling hand he took the
pencil and wrote the reply To those
who witnessed the act it was pathet-
1c. To others it may perhaps appear
humorous. This was his answer:
''My God Ish dot sop-A Country

Short and Sweet.

A refreshing sample of brevity by
Bench. and Bar occurs in a case where
the great Erskine appeared for the
plaintiff, who sought to recover IL
guineas lent by him to his ladylove
before they parted to meet-in court.
Erskine began by remarking that
when love was over the laconic style
of letter writing was most fitting. He
then read the following letter from
the defendant:
SR-When convenient, you shall have your
10 guineas. I despise you.
CATHARINE KEELING.
Said Erskine, II shall prove the
handwriting, and that is my case"
Asked Bancroft, counsel for the
defense, SIS that all?"
aye" quoth Erskine.
"Then despise you," said Bear
croft, and Mr.. Justice Butler non
suited the plaintiff. After this one
does not much marvel at this judges
notion of paradise, playing whist
all night and trying nisi prius cases
all day." These, by the bye, were the
days Of short opinions as well as of
short speeches. Taunton would some
times advise, ''The question is worth
trying" Erskine once wrote, 'The
action will lie if the witnesses do. -

in solemn voice of warning; "Bae-
deler no good. What for you use

best, answered Mr.. Allen "Why do
you object to Baedeker7" The sheik
crossed his hands and looked down
on him with the plying eyes of Is

peated. Murray very, very good.

Artificial Ice.

One of the newest plans for the eco
nomical use of artificial ice has re-
Gently been patented by Van der
Weyde Of Holland. The invention is
based on the fact that two smooth
surfaces of freshly cut ice when
brought into contact with a tempera-
ture below 80 degrees will unite firm
ly. At higher temperature the
junction yields to a blow, and the
ice breaks into the original parts.
Van der Weyde casts blocks of ice in
to small cubes, which are stamped
with trademark. These cubes are
joined into larger cube of any de-
sired weight and sent out for use.
The mark is a guarantee that the
ice is pure, and the small cubes,
weighing an ounce each, are easily
separated into shape convenient for
use.-New York Tribune.

Ancient Chinese Musical instruments.

Ancient Chinese Musical Instruments.
The ancient Chinese believed that
music was of divine origin, and that
it was a gift from the gods to man.
Ancient Chinese instruments are of
very neat workmanship. There is a
small violin called Tr-heen, which is
made of dark wood, the head covered
with snakeslzin. 1t is not ornament
ed with any carved or inlaid designs,
but it, is beautifully made, and the
wood is polished very smooth. There
are only two silken strings, tuned in
fifths, and played ON with a horse
hair bow. A three string banjo, also
covered with snakeskins, has long
neck, the top of which, where the
strings are fastened, is carved to rep
resent bat. There is also q very in
genious mouth organ called ti-tzu.
The body is made of wood, and in it
are inserted 17pipes, The notes are
made by stopping the holes in the
pipes with the fingers.
The Chinese are very fond of
drums, which they call kou. The
oldest drums were of baked clay,
with skin head fastened on with
nails instead of braced cords, which
made it impossible to tune them as
modern drums are tuned The varia-
lions of tone were regulated only by
the force of the blow.
Tho 1aotos of Chinese music read,
like the written characters, from right
to left, and the intervals of the scale
are different from those of the scale
adopted by the nations of the west.
The music is not very harmonious
and sounds meaningless and jangling
to western ears, but it has pretty,
musical cadence that makes it at
tractive and interesting in spite of
its frequent discords.-H. S. Conant
in st. Nicholas.

Ate His Own Way,

Before one of the royal commits
sions recently sitting, of which the
Prince of Wales and the Duke of
Devonshire were members, an old
peasant, who had probably never
been in railway carriage before,
was brought up to give evidence. The
old man was ushered into the room
where all the swells were sitting
without betraying the least awe and
answered their questions in charac-
teristic, plain fashion. He would not
be hurried, and when the Duke of
Devonshire asked him a question
and the Prince Of Wales added some
thing to it the old man held I'D his

you please"
The prince was so much amused at
the old mans simplicity that he took
him to dinner, but his queer guest re-

LEAvENwORTH, Kan, June Is
When the news OF the verdict of guilty
rendered by the United States court
was conveyed to the camp of common,
wealers in the military reservation quite
a commotion was raised. The prisoners
became excited and rush for liberty
was made. The deputy marshals took
after them, firing and bringing down
one man, who afterwards crawled into
the brush. During the confusion nearly
30 of the wealers made good their
escape. Company T, Sixth cavalry,
was called from Fort Leavenworth and
the remaining prisoners surrounded and
brought to Leayenworth for safe keep
ing until sentenced.
