Susan, hearing the gate click, looked up.
''Pa," she whispered softly, these comes

Uncle Hiram, had told her a little of
what had happened and she had guessed
the rest. Now, like wise woman, after
greeting her mother, she went into the
house and left her parents together. Aunt
Sarah broke the silence.
''Hiram," said she, and her voice trem-
bled, 'Hiram, I've come to beg ye to come
back. Ive been wrong about the buggy,
and I'm willing to beg your pardon. I'll
try and do better, Hiram, only-come-
back'
Aunt Sarah, womanlike, commenced to
cry and Uncle Hiram, manlike, forgave her
on the spot He went over to where she
stood and put his arm around her, and
patted her gray head soothingly,-
"There, there, Sarah don't Cry any more.
Come back? OF course | will"
And Aunt Sarah, as she leaned against
that kind breast felt very humble, repent
ant, and happy.
So they went home together. Uncle
Hiram took possession of his old chair and
smoked his pipe in peace that night and
ever afterward. 1t is hard to change the
h ,bit of lifetime, but Aunt Sarah had
had a good lesson and profited by it.
John on his next visit home, had the
buggy repaired and no one could ever til
that it suffered a scratch. As he and his
father gazed at it, respendent in it's new
top and replenished spokts, Uncle Hiram
said with twinkle in his eye
"John, the best days work old Jerry
and | ever did was when we broke that
buggy, And John laughed and Uncle
Hiram laughed. Waverly Magazine.

WOOD DUCKS FIRST SWIM.
How the Mother Gets the Little Ones
From the Nest TO the Water.


From the Nest to the Water.
A few miles from my home there is a
lake that has for years been the abiding
place of colony of wood ducks. | have
spent hours along the shores watching
duck has one popularity not possessed by
other members of the duck family-it
builds its home high up in the cavity of
s ,me declyed limb, usually one that juts
out over the water.
The eggs, from seven to ID in number,
are creamy white in color. housekeeping
is begun in May, and the young are ready
to leave the nest early in June.
| was curious to know how the little
ducks reach the water from their lofty
homes. l had often seen them, when
hardly clear of their shell, swimming about
with their mother and felt convinced that
they never could have left home unaded.
One bright June morning fortune ia
vored me. | had rowed along the lake
shore to pay visit to houseful of noisy red
wing blackbirds. Ny boat was lying
motionless among the tall cattals that
fringed the shores of the lake.
Suddenly heard IA loud splash behind
me, and turning to look saw on the water
short distanc away, just shaking the
spray from her wings female wood duck
and near her two tiny yellow balls, so
small that they resembled water lilies
floating on the surface.
The old bird took wing, lowered and
circled above her babies for few minutes
and then flew to cavity in IA tall tree, a
short distance away. In "a short time the
male bird arrayed in the handsomest of
plumage, jointed his mate Then for a
few minutes | could hear soft cooling
noise, which reminded me of husband and
wife discussing some important point re-
lative to the welfare of their children.
The cooling soon stopped and the mother
duck appeared in the doorway Of her home.
Then she dropped toward the water at
slight angle. AS her breast struck the
surface she Immediately Owed, and where
her body had been was surprised to gee
little ducklings swimming about as uncon-
cerned as though they had been travelling
in the water for years
The routine of flying to the nest was re-
peated four times in rapid succession, and
each time it resulted in an addition OF two
growing until it numbered Il. Then the
mother duck swan out in the lake, fol.
lowed by her brood while the male bird
brought up the rear of the procession, act

DRESS SUITS TO RENT.
Facts About the business, tho Prices and
the Men Who Hire Them.

Facts About the Business, the Prices and
the Men Who Hire Them.
More men than ever buy dress suits now.
adays, and moro dress suits than ever are
hired also. There are in New York prob
ably 80 or 60 places where dress suits can
be hired. The cost varies from so cents to
So a night, depending on locality and the
character of tho suit. The wearers of hired
dress suits include guests in hotels and
visitors in the city who have unexpectedly
found need of dress suit. Dress suits are
sent daily in the season from this city to
Brooklyn and Long Island, Hoboken, Jcr
sey City and Staten Island and frequent
ly to places farther away.
There is one establishment whose sole
business is renting dress suits. Generally
the business is carried on in connection
with some other trade. Some men hire a
dress suit once II season, others two or
three times, and others again hire them
season after season, thus avoiding the
trouble of keeping dress suits of their own
in order. At the establishment devoted
exclusively to the business there are kept
in stock from $50 to $50 suits. The suits
are of good quality and fashonably cut.
The charge runs from SO to SO. The latter
price might be charged for suit that had
never been worn. A party of a dozen or
Is mon hiring together would get them mt
ST. 80 each. Sometimes entire clubs, per
haps so or 60 men, hire dress suits for n
ball or reception. In such cases they get
them at perhaps 81 a suit. When strangers
want to hire dress suits, Il deposit is some
times required, usually $50 on $25.
The ordinary life of dress suit is about
two years After that it is let at a lower
price, perhaps 1.5O, to be worn in anna
teur minstrel entertainments or for uses
entailing harder wear than it would be
likely to get in ordinary social service. In
their final estate the coats are sold to wait
ers for 81. 30 or So. Such coats may be in
good order and not much worn, but not
in the current style.
OF course winter is the best season for
this business, but there is something doing
the year round. 1t is not unusual for men
going away over Sunday to hire dress suits
to take with them. The best months of
the year are January and February. The
greatest demand of all comes on the nights
of the great public balls.-NGw York Sun.

HOW TROUBLE WAS AVERTED.
He Did Not Care So Much About the
Money as the Chance to Kick.

Money the Chance to Kick.
When Mr.. Benjamin Billiwink looked
Mt the change he had in his pocket after
getting off the street car that brought him
down town, he found that the conductor
had passed a plugged cent piece on him.
Mr.. Billiwink did not care for the value
of the coin, but he had the average Amer
lean dislike to being overroached, and he
put that plugged coin back into his pocket
and bided his time
In the evening" lie climbed aboard a
north bound street car and when the
conductor came round Mr.. Billiwink
handed him that identical 5 cent piece.
The conductor looked at it and handed
it back.
81 can't take it," he said Its plug
gcd"
Eyes" replied Mr.. Billiwink, II know
it. It's plugged. But you'll take it.
81 reckon not If l turn in that plug
ged nickel, III have to make it good out of
my own pocket, and can't afford it. You
give me good money, or l can't carry
you"
Then Mr.. Billiwink rose up in his
wrath.
Yes, you will, " he snorted, land you'll
take that nickel too! Look here! 1 got
that from conductor No. 437 on this line
this very morning. Here's the rest of the
change just as he gave it to me-"
Il can't help that. I've got my orders
and''-
you've got orders not to take plugged
nickels, but you're allowed to pay 'cm
out" vocifcratcd Mr. Billiwink, regard
less of the sensation sc was creating in
the crowded car. III Mr. Yerkes gives
out a plugged nickel, he ought to take it
back, and if he passes one on me he's got
to take it back, by ginger! That's all
there is of it. Now, you can take this or
nothing. It's all you'll get"
Mr.. Billiwink was determined not to be
put off that car without fight, and he
braced himself for tho coming shock.
"Well, said the conductor after reflect
ing moment, ~ can't take that pieCo of
money, but l guess you haven't got very
far to ride, and you can ride without pay
ing anything. You'll get even chat way.
viii that be satisfactorily
Mr.. Billiwink wilted.
"Thundor!" he said "If you not GO
ing to kick harder than that, I'll give you
good nickel"

crossing. Chicago Tribune.

THE VAST SOLAR SYSTEM.
The Sun Would he Hardly Visible Along
side of the Pleiades.


If our sun were removed to the Pleiades,
it would hardly be visible in an opera glass,
with which nearly 100 stars can be seen
in the cluster. Sixty or seventy Pleiades
surpass our sun in brilliancy, Alcyonc be-
ing 1000 times more brilliant, Electra 500
times and Maia nearly 400. Sirius itself
takes subordinate rank when compared
with the five most brilliant members of a
group the real magnifcence of which we
can thus in some degree apprehend
If we seek to know the dimensions of
the cluster itself, we are met with many
difficulties but on the assumption that it
is approximately spherical in shape we can
calculate its diameter to be over 40 O0O,
900, 900 miles. If we think of the dimen-
sions of our solar system by themselves or
in relation to terrestrial matter, they APP
pear stupendously enormous. Neptune,
the most distant known member, has an
orbit over 6, 1000, 900, 600 miles across, but
the solar system is to the Pleiades but
Lilliputian to a Brobdingnagian, is but as
a micrObG to u mountain, for a sphere the
size of the solar system would, if it were
spherical and its diameter that of the or
bit of Neptune be relatively so minute
that it could be contained more than 4OO-
900, 600, 600 times in sphere the size of
the Pleiades. In other words, the limits Of
the Pleiades could contain $50 solar sys-
tens as many times over as there are miles
between Neptune and the sun.
1t must not be forgotten that, though
there are 1890 stars in the cluster, yet
with such Dimensions for the entire group
vast distances must separate the stars from
one another. In fact, 1890 spheres, each
with a diameter OF 5000, 900, 900 miles,
could be contained in the limits assigned
to the group, and assuming equal distri-
button of the stars in the group each would
be at the center of a sphere 5000, 600, 600
miles across, and therefore light journey

Startling.

1t was novel accident with a novel
sequel that befell Admiral Home during
the war with China in 1S42. He had dined
on one of the ships of the fleet, and when
he came to return to his own ship the tide
was running so strongly that his men
could not pull against it, and he was COM
PEELED to take refuge for the night in the
frigate Dido.
When getting out of his cockleshell boat,
he made a false step, and as he was large
and heavy the boat tilted over, and in an
instant he and his crew were struggling in
the water.
The admiral luckily seized a rope which
hung over the side of the ship. Five of the
men seized hold of his legs, and there they
hung, shouting Justify for help till they
were drawn in by the Dido's crew. The
admiral, pretty well exhausted, was put
to bed, with hot drink, and soon dropped
asleep after giving directions to be called
early.
At the stated hour the officer of the
watch reused the admiral, who, still dream
ing of drowning and other horrors, drows-
lily asked, who's there?'
Death" was the reply.
1t was startling, and the admiral looked
out of his cot expecting to see a skeleton
or some other CHASTITY object, but now
fully awake and perceiving only very
gentlemanlike young man standing close
to him he observed:
1T is very singular. l thought was
told that death was before me-"
And so he is, answered the young
officer. My name is Death, and l have

Gold Carvings of Human Eyes.

finds" among the old deserted tombs Of
the pharaohs. Near Calnao and also at
Hevleh they found dozens of curious cary
ings on gold which were perfect represen-
tations of the human eye. Some of these
queer plates represented the left eye, but
the majority seem to have been intended
for the right optic. The work is beauti-
fully executed, the brows, lids and pupils
being deeply carved on rectangular plates
of hammered gold Each plate seems to
have originally been provided with either
a notch or a tongue, the idea being per
haps to fit them together in pairs, each
right to its proper left. What they could
have ever been used for is only matter
