Tired of Life.

A private from Whipple named King was discovered to be in a frantic condition Friday in room in the rear of the Vienna bakery. Opinion of by islanders was divided as to whether he had taken poison or was suffering from delirium tre- mems, but most of them opined the latter. He way very voilent and several strong men had all they could do to hold him. Dr. Abbott was called in and gave the man something which caused him to vOmit, which seemed to ease him. Later the man was carried to the Whipple hospital. King,it is stated, had falling out the night previous with young lady to whom he had been paying attention and threat ened to kill her; in fact, did rush at her with a drawn razor, when she stood him off with pistol. He sert for the young lady a short time before he became violent and she, on advice of her friends de- clined to visit him-Courier.

Ale You Married?

Nature intended that all human beings should mate as soon as they reached the age of maturity, but un- fortunately society, custom and sur roundings have willed it otherwise. However, should nature have it's course, some communities are so small that it IS impossible te mate it's young people satisfactorily, and they arc forced to pass down the river of life forgotten and alone. A happy thought was the formation of the Affinity Publishing Company, of Scranton, Pa. They arc issuing 8 high class matrimonial journal which is widely endorsed. Its ob- ject is to bring kindred souls to- gether by means of correspondence, and no doubt the result will be a number of happy marriages. Sam pie copies of the journal can be ob- tained for ten cents by addressing AFFINITY, Scranton, Pa.

Conventional rules are most useful in
/ intercourse with strangers, and this feel
ing, the result Of deliberate reflection
among men, seems quite as well under
stood by animals. The number of steps
which prince or ambassador might adj
vance to meet the other without derogat-
ing from his dignity, and the frequent
halts and bows, find a parallel in the
amusing form of canine etiquette, when
one dog ''spies a stranger" at a distance.
The first dog stops short, then trots ON
little, then crouches and finally lies fiat
down, with its nose on its paws, like a
skirmisher ordered to open fire on the
enemy. The other dog, which was less
quick sighted, sometimes lies down, too,
but more usually trots slowly up, with
occasional halts
The action Of the first seems clearly to
be a survival Of time when a dog nat
urally crouched in order to conceal itself
the moment it saw any other creature
which might hurt it or which, on the
contrary, it might want to stalk. The
sudden drop is something like that of a
setter when Creeping" up on to the
birds, but more like the crouch Of the
fox when it sees a hare or wants to con-
ceal itself from persons whom it sees
while it is still unseen. But now it is
observed as pure convention, one which
is obviously mere show, but to omit
which would be a breach Of canine ETH
quette which might and sometimes does
lead to a fight. Spectator.

There have been many ambitious math-
ematioians in all the ages who have aimed
at the squaring of the circle, and all, even
those Of the present century, with all mod
ern suggestions at their hands, havo been
unsuccessful. The Engineers Gazette is
authority for the statement that the Oldest
mathematical book in the world, which
dates some 4, 600 years back and was writ
ten in Egypt, contains rule for squaring
the circle. The rule given Is to shorten
the diameter by u ninth, and on the line
so obtained to construct a square, and this,
though far from being exact, is near
enough for most practical purposes. Since
then the amateur squarer Of the circle has
been a thorn in the side of the professional
mathematician. Learned societies, at last,
in pure self defense, made a rule that all
solutions Of the problem sent to them
should, without examination, be consign-
ed to the flames.
In the last century Frenchman named
Mathulus was so sure that he had succeed
cd in squaring the circle that he offered
reward of $1,000 to any one who proved
his solution was erroneous. 1t was shown
to be erroneous, if not to his own satisfao-
ton, at least to that of the courts, and he
had 50 pay the money. Mathematicians
have long been convinced that the solution
was impossible, but it is only a few years
since they were able to demonstrate this.
A German professor named Landnlann
published in 1882 demonstration which
vas accepted by the scientific world as sat
sfactory, so that would DO squarers Of the
iircle may now rest from their labors see
ng that 1t has been mathanAticallv prov
d taat the thing cannot be done.

AS an article Of food mushrooms are be
coming moro widely and fayorably known
each year. Immense quantities are grown
for market in caves near Paris, some Of
the beds being seven miles long. One
grower has 81 miles of mushrooms grow
ing at Merry. In Italy the truflle beds arc
so valuable that they are guarded as care
fully as are game preserves in England
But the poachers, quite equal to'the neces-
sity, train their dogs to go among the beds,
dig up those mushrooms of marketable
value and bring them out to tho edge
where they are waiting to receive them
Mushrooms bring in q revenue of "A, 900 a
year to Rome, and NJ. Roques calls the
despised toadstools the "manna Of the
poor
Mr.. Julius Palmer, our own authority
on mushrooms, says: "Were the poorer
classes Of Russia, Germany, Italy or France
to see our forests during the autumn rains
they would feast on tho rich food there GO
ing to waste, for this harvest requires no
seedtime and asks for no peasants toll
At the same time the value Of mushroom
diet ranks second to meat alone America
is one of the richest countries in mush-
room food. "-Margaret W. Leighton in St
Nicholas

A CAT AND DOG TeAsER.

The Scheme of an Orange County Man with
n Pail Of Milk and an Electric Battery.
''I've got a great scheme, - said an in
genious Orange county man. There S no
patent on it either It is just cat and
dog teaser, and it beats anything 1 ever
saw for the purpose. I got an old stove
zinc and laid it ON the ground near the
back door. Then I put a wooden bucket
of milk on the zinc. In the kitchen I've
got battery of two gallon cells and a
inch coil, with a vibrating circuit break
er. One wire is connected to the zinc
plate, and the other terminates in a piece
Of metal in the milk. You Just ought to
see the effect. A cat comes along, smells
the milk and goes for it. She Just
touches the milk with her whiskers and
looks puzzled when the slight, tingling
shock is felt Then she returns to the
attack and touches her tongue to the
surface of the milk Her hair rises then,
and she emits a yowl of rage or pain as
she springs away from the pail and then
turns to look back at it. I have seen the
same cat take two shocks within as
many minutes and then act as if she
wanted to try it again, but didn't dare
TO.
with dogs it is different The dog
steps upon the zinc, lops his long tongue
into the milk and then throws a back
He wants no more after
that, but tucking his tail Between his
legs streaks out Of the yard as quickly
IS possible If you want to try it, you
needn't use a whole pail Of milk. Just
AXE a crockery dish, and it will answer
ust as we'll Milk is cheap up our way,

The east end of Glasgow has been great
" agitated about question Of fashion in
female attire. Hitherto it has been invari-
ably regarded as the correct thing for the
girls employed at the mills to wear shawls
over their heads, but lately the population
has been startled by the appearance Of a
few Of the workers in hats. The daring
innovation excited the utmost indi0ns-
tion, and, one night last week, the wear
ers Of the hats had to be rescued by the DO
lice from the polite attentions Of crowd
Of about 2, 900 Of their companions. 1 i'm
agine, says a writer in the London Truth
that, after this demonstration Of popular
feeling, the new tangled taste for MILL
merry will disappear and shawls again be-
come the only wear. For my part, rather
sympathize with the gallant upholders of
the old state Of things, and wish the use Of
the shawl as headgear could be as easily
enforced In other quarters. 1t would really
be vast improvement on some Of the mil
liners monstrosities that are now in vogue
and to the matinee theater goer, long cut
OF from all view Of the stage, the change
would be a yeritable blessing.

HARDWARE sHoP TALK.

The Statesmen Recount Their Amusing Ex-
perienees With Various Customers.
One morning, when by mistake we
had arrived at the store ten minutes be-
fore the arrival Of tho boss with the
keys, the men were amusing themselves
relating their experience with various
customers.
"Why is it,, asked the Tool Man,
''that so many people get twisted with
corkscrews and screwdrivers?"
Mature of the tool, " suggested the
Cutlery Man.
Whatever the reason, continued the
Tool Man, Il have observed the almost
universal confusion of a screwdriver
and corkscrew. 1t is an everyday occur
renee with ladies as well as men, only
lady asks for a corkscrew and u man
for a screwdriver and then look at you
SO surprised.
"Or when they want lid LITTER p"
said the Stove Man, "nine people out of
ten ask for stove litter. "
did you ever notice, - remarked the
Cutlery Man, 'how a man or a woman
express themselves when at a loss for a
name?"
What in a name anyway" inter
rupted the Tool Man. "The woman who
asked for clear tacls got what she
wanted as quickly as though she had ask
ed for timed tacls Such requests give !
opportunities for mental gymnastics, !
and thus relieve the lethargic tenden-
cies incident to continuous routine |
work. E"
Without apparently observing the in
terruptim the Cutlery Man continued:
1.-The other day lady came rustling
into the store She was one.of those
nervous bustling little women, and she
wanted pair of 'twinchers Noticing
my blank look, she said, You know, like
this, making a motion with her thumb
and forefnger that at once suggested
tweezers. When man wants an ar
,icle he can't name, he gets out pencil,
ears the back from an envelope and pro-
,eeds to give an idea. 4"
"a lady gave me an idea, " again re-
marked the Stove Man, ION selling gas
stoves. While showing them to her she
islzed some question to which confessed
ignorance. To my surprise she said

An experiment of some importance is
reported, made with a view to deter
mine, if possible, the origin of natural
gas, irrespective of theories hitherto
prevalent For this purpose dried sea-
weed was stepped in water which had
been freed from air, and ON the third
day gas appeared continuing to be
evolved in diminishing quantity until
the tenth day, when some SOB cubic CEN
timeters had been collected. The evolu-
tion had evidently ceased, though after
standing two years and half 80 cubic
centimeters more of gas collected in the
the second gas differed from
the first, consisting, it is recorded, al
most entirelyof methane-the chief con-
stituent of natural gas-from which it
is inferred that this slow secondary de-
composition Of vegetable matter has
some relation to the origin of natural
gas. New York Sun.

On the 21st of October the French and
Spanish fleets were caught at Trafalgar.
Every Englishman knows how Coling-
wood led the way into the fight far ahead
of any other ship, made first for the Santa
Anna, crushed her with a broadside which
killed $50 men and was presently engaged
with no fewer than five of the enemy. And
in the midst of the contest the gallant old
admiral in his best uniform, kneebreeehes,
silk stockings and buckled shoes, paced
watchfully to and fro munching an apple
" You had better put on silk stockings, as
have" he said to his first lieutenant on
the morning of the fight, for if one should
get shot in the leg they would be so much
more manageable for the surgeon. 3"
As the struggle went on he went down
among the men, sighted several of the
guns himself and encouraged all hands.
At one moment, in the hottest of the fire,
he gave way to his ruling passion of econ
omy Of the kings stores, solemnly rolled
up, with the assistance of his first lieuten-
ant, a topgallant studding sail which was
hanging loose over the hammocks and
slowed it carefully away, observing that it
would be wanted some other day.-Mac-

Wills were at first oral, as were also
gifts of lands, and were only morally
binding ON the survivors Origen and
other fathers Of the. early church cred
tied Noah with having made a will, and
in the fourth century the bishop of
Brescia declared all those heretical who
denied Noah's division Of the world to
his three sons by will The Oldest known
wills are those Of Egypt. Both oral and
written wills not infrequently contained
imprecations on those who should neg
lect them.
The earliest written will in existence
is that Of Sennacherib, which was found
in the royal library of Konyunjik.
There is a great sameness about our own
royal wills. They mainly relate to beds,
bedding, clothes, personal ornaments,
gold and silver cups and payments for
masses and are generally as prosaic as
one could eontrive. Westminster Re

There are husbands who are pretty,
There arc husbands who are witty,
There are husbands who in public are as smil-
ing as tho morn;
There are husbands who ere healthy,
There are famous ones and wealthy,
But the real angelic husband-well, he's never
yet been born
Some for strength Of love are noted,
Who arc really so devoted
That whence their wives are absent they are
Lonesome and forlorn,
And while now and then you'Il find one
Who's a really good and kind one;
But the real angelic husband-oh, he's never
yet been born.
So the woman who Is mated
To a man who may be rated
As pretty fair should cherish him forever

For the real angelic creature,
Perfect quite in every feature,
He has never been discovered, and he won't be,

Their maiesties do not travel much
about Denmark, writes Arthur Warren in
The Ladies Home journal. The king says
if he could 60 quietly like any other man
he would like it, but the people would feel
bound to do him honor with display and
entertainments; they would doubtless
spend moro than they could afford in the
hope of giving him pleasure, and so he
stays at Copenhagen or Fredensborg. One
day, journeyiug between the two places,
the train pulled up Unexpectedly at a small
station where the line was temporarily
blocked. a peasant who had been told
that the king was in the train walked up
the platform, staring curiously until he
saw a flne looking old gentleman leaning
out Of an open window Of a railway car
riage.
"Good morning, said the old gentle
man.
GOOD morning, " said the peasant, "be
you the kings'
Eyes"
"Well, then, reioined the countryman,
II want to tell you something: You be the
best king we ever had in Denmark"
His majesty lifted his hat and replied,
Thank you, but that's a matter Of opin-
ion. and I can't judge it impartially."
The peasant expressed what the people
Of Denmark feel.

Here in Boston the normal condition
is spectacles, and those who don't wear
eyeglasses for one or the other, "seeing
or reading" are the glorious exception.
So prevalent is this misfortune-fo it
can be called nothing else-oculists have
been known to say that even the very
babies should be born in spectacles.
Whether it is the effect of the New Eng
land climate ON the optic nerve or just
plain heredity no one knows. Astigma-
tism exists, as every one is aware, and
