she Didn't Guess.

Like many other things, an alarm
clock is a good thing when confined to
its own sphere. But young man who
lives in Tioga had an experience with
one the other day which, to say the
least, was embarrassing. Being heavy
sleeper, it was not uncommon for him
to miss his train to the city in the
morning, so he resolved to invest in al
alarm clock. One experience with it was
enough, and that occurred while. he was
taking his purchase home. Walking
through the train, be CHANGED to see a
certain young lady sitting in seat, the
other half of which was unoccupied
The young man knew the young lady
in fact, he is said to have had enter
tanned serious hopes before the alarm
got in its little work. He sat down be-
side her, with his package in his lap,
and smiled his sweetest. She asked him
what he was taking home, and he play
fully bid her guess Candy? Cigarsf
Neckties?" No, it was none of these.
Just as she was about to venture
fourth guess there was muff1ed sound
from the interior of the pacakge and
then a loud clang that resounded weird"
ly through the car. The young man
blushed, the young lady giggled, and
the passengers roared. 1t seemed as
though the thing would never stop, and

A Young Woman Who Didn't Like HiE

A Young Woman Who Didn't Like HiE
Literary Taste.
The story is recalled of a young Vir-
ginia country girl dining in Boston
some years ago, in the days when DR..
Holmes went to dinners. Seated next
to her was homely. little old gentle
man whose name she did not catch. He
began to talk with her and asked her
how she passed her time in the country.
"Oh, weread, my father and Il'' she
said.
"And what do yon read?" asked the
little man.
"Well, the 'Autocrat of the Break.
fast Table for one thing, she answer.
ed
81 should think you would not care
to read that more than once, :" remark
ed the little old man with sign Of dis
appointment in his tones,
'My father and may not be judges
of literature, said Miss Virginia airi-
" and with a faint accent of scorn.
"but when we get to the end Of the
'Autocrat' we generally turn back to
the beginning and read it over again. "
The little old man smiled at this and
was disposed to be friendly, but Miss
Virginia was so displeased with his tone
concerning the "Autoorat" that she met
him with chilly Indifference.
As soon as the guests went into the
drawing room her hostess whispered
rerroaohfulJy to her:
"You didn't seem to find DR.. Holmes
as interesting as hoped
CDR HolmesW shrieked Miss Virgin
la. There were a tableau and an expla-
nation.
Another story of Holmes wit is told.
One day old DR.. Peabody was to meet
him at certain place. The venerable
professor rode in carriage. When he
got there, he was met by Holmes, who
had walked. Near by was statue Of
Eurydice. And Holmes said:
"Ah, you ride, I see!'
Capital, capItalp' cried Peabody.
That night he went back home and
said to his wife:
''Holmes got of good joke today. -
His wife asked him what it was.
"Why, 1 was to meet him down at
the statue of Eurydice, and when l ar
rived, he said quite happily, ooh, you
came in carriageP
And then the genial professor wonder.
ed why his wife didn't laugh.

FOR LITTLE FOLKS.
Mr.. GREY AND Mr.. BROWN.

The Reason Why They Don't Now Live In
the Same House Explained.
Mr. Thomas Grey was an old cat,
who lived in a lonely little house at the
turn of the road
Mr.. Brown was nimble little mouse,
who lived III the basement without pay
ing any rent, and who got his meals by
stealing from Mr. Grey's pantry when
Mr.. Grey was not at home.
One day Mr. Grey came home sooner
chan Mr.. Brown expected and almost
caught him as he was making for the
knothole which he called his private
entrance" to the basement Mr.. Grey
smacked his lips and stroked his mus
3ache, for he dearly loved fat and ten
Der mouse
"Good morning." he said politely.
"aave you lunched?"
"Oh, dear, no!' said Mr. Brown 81
have had nothing to eat these three days
past, and my sides are SO thin that l
have to button my coat tight SO that my
ribs will stay together. ~
"IndeedP' said Mr. Grey in disap-
pointed tone, for a thin mouse is poor
fare. "And how does that happen?'
"Well, when a man has wife and
six children, said the mouse, "and has
to feed them all, there is not much left
for him. There is my wife now," he
went on in a complaining voice, tjust
as fat as butter You'd think she'd help
forage, now, wouldn't you? Well, she
won't She let's me do it all, and she
must see the condition 1 am in. And
each one Of those boys is twice as big as
/ am, just from overlooking.
Mr. Grey's eyes shone.
81 should like to see them. The,
must be handsome children, he said.
would you?" said Mr.. Brown
"Shall go fetch them? They never stir
step unless l make them. "
''Do so, Mr.. Brown; by all means do
so. 1 shall be pleased and proud TO meet
all of your family-all, Mr.. Brown, if
you please" for the old cat thought,
"Seven fat mice are better than one
thin one any day"
So Mr. Brown popped down the knoe
hole, and Mr.. Grey drew his chair up
all ready to pounce upon the fat mica
But he waited in vain.
Then Mr.. Brown, who had no wifs
nor a chick nor child in the world, bat
was a gray and good for nothing old
bachelor, put sign up in the base
ment: ''To Let. Desirable rooms fer q
single gentleman, and went to live
in corn crib with some other bachelor
mice like himself. Often in the evening
he wG1ld climb up and look in the win
dow at the old cat sitting patiently by
the hole, waiting, waiting for the seven
fat mice Then he would laugh and
laugh until he nearly tumbled off tho

Marvellous Results.

From letter written by Rev. J..
Gunderman, of Dimondale, Mich we
are permitted to make this egtraet: 81
have no hesitation in recommendingDr.
Kings New Discovery, as the results
were almost marvellous in the case of
my wife. While / was pastor of the
baptist Church at Rives Janction she
was brought down with Pneumonia
succeeding La Grippe. Terrible par
oxysms of coughing would last hours
with little interruption and it seemed
as if she could not survive them. A
friend recommend DR., Kings New
Discovery; it was quick in its work
and highly satisfactory In results"

PROFESSOR tALB ON 1895.

Bis Announcement of the Critical DAN
For the Coming Year.
Professor Rudolf Falb of Liepzic, the
discoverer of the Critical days" in
giving their number, order and dates
for the coming year in the columns Of
The Deutsche Kaiser Kalender for 1895,
states that observations begun in 1858
convinced him that the influence Of the
attraction of the moon and sun upon the
waters Of the sea had a similar effect
upon the ocean of the earth's atmos-
phere as we'll as upon the liquid and
volatile masses contained in the interior
of our globe He discovered that great
atmospheric disturbances, shocks OF
earthquake and explosions in mines
were surprisingly often coincident with
the days upon which the most extensive
tides and other oceanic connections
were caused by the influence of either
moon or sun, or both. These periods
Professor Falb distinguishes by the
name of Critical days" because they
mark on the one side periodical turn
Ing points" in the equilibrium of the
neptunic, plutonio and atmospheric
masses above mentioned, and on the
other side afford the measure and means
for computing the degree and effect OF
lunar and solar forces upon our planet.
The individual consultations affect
Ing each for itself an increase Of these
forces are: First, the perigee-that Is,
the time when moon and earth are near
est to oDe another; second, the moons
equatorial position; third, the perihe-
lion, when our globe is nearest the sun;
fourth, the suns equatorial position;
fifth, the syzygies, or new moon and
full moon; sixth, the lunar or solar
eclipses
The coming year will be especially
notable for the fact Of its three most
critical days being accompanied by
eclipses. In mentioning the dates in
their different orders and grades of in
dividual effectiveness Professor Falb
takes care to state that the results of the
strongest attractions often precede their
Critical days." as theoretically COM
puted, by one or two days, while those
of lesser import may be from two to
three days later than periodically fixed.
The latter may also be the case at the
time of critical days Of the first order
whenever long continuing and extern
sive atmospheric pressure or eastern
winds prevailed previous to these dates.
The following are the critical days"
for 1896:
Of the first order, Sept 10, March II,
Aug. 20, Feb. 8, Oct. IS, April 9. July
90 and Jan. II.
Of the second order, May 9, Nov. 16,

DSama For the Stage. Which VIII Not
Be Enacted In New York.
An American playwriter has been for
Some time engaged in the composition
Of drama of contemporary life in
which the chief character is to be ia
nous American statesman, now deceH-
ed The title which he has chosen for
it is Blaine, a Tragedy" 1t certainly
looks like bad taste to dramatize, at
least in this generation, the career Of
the American here named, but the au-
| thor maintains that he can do it inof.
fensiyely and in such a way as to dig
nifty his subject, as the life of Mr.. Blaine
was full of dramatic material, and as
there were scenes in it which would be
especially serviceable for a drama Of
real life. He says that Shakespeare made
use of personages who lived not long
before his time, and even of some who
were his contemporaries, and he gives
the names of other playwriters who have
used their acquaintance in their stage
compositions When reminded that even
the greatest and most picturesque Amer
leans of past times, from the days Of
/ Washington to those of Lincoln, had
never been used successfully for dramat.
ic material as Shakespeare used the
kings of England, he replied that this
was thing which would surely yet be
done in this country, as it has been done
in other lands, and that, in any event,
it is his purpose to begin the undertake
ing.
''Is there any manager in New York, ="
we asked, 'who would bring out your
tragedy"
Il do not know, but there is man.
ager in Chicago who will bring it out
if it suits him "
''Do you not fear that there would be
a storm of popular reprobation if you
should make your chief character re-
semble the originate"
eff there be anything of the kind, OF
if the work fail to prove attractive, it
will be withdrawn after the first or sec
ond performance. But there are in my
subject such striking elements for a first
class stage drama and for winning
one that l shall not think of its failure |
until after it has failed"
Would not the relatives of the dc
ceased statesman object to the work and
get out an injunction against its per.
formance?"
eff such an objection shall be raised
by any one entitled to speak with au.
thority, or after that one has been pres,
ent at performance of it, it will be
discontinued. The man of my title role
has been subject for painters, sculptors
and other artists, and there is no good
reason why he should not be made
subject for dramatic artists.
After the playwriter had expressed
the views here reported, The Sun report
er asked theatrical manager as to the
prospects of a drama of the kind spoken
of. He answered that he did not believe
a single respectable manager in New
York or anywhere else would bring it
out, and that if brought out in any
American city, it would be fat fail
ure. He believed that the execution of
the playwriter's project would not be
tolerated by the theater going communi-
ty.-New York Sun.
