Church Market This Afternoon.

The ladies of the congregation of
the Second Presbyterian Church will
hold one of those church affairs
known as a Market" in the base
ment of the church this afternoon.
All the necessary arrangements have
been made and the affair will no
doubt be as great success as those
which have been held heretofore. AT
former markets the principal draw
back has been that the supply of COM
modities was exhausted long before
the market was over. This time the
ladies have guarded against a repeti
ton of this and there will be a suffi-
cient supply of goods on hand for
those who wish to purchase.

A Carpet Deal.

Our buyer just returned from New York, where he
made the most fortunate deal in Carpets this house
has ever made. It's the old story. A great house
bought too many Carpets; their bills were due and
the Carpets weren't sold. They had to sacrifice to
firms that could pay spot cash. The Carpets are
here. Our check is in New York. FRIDAY this
great purchase of Carpets begins.

A Slick Hotel Beat.

The fellow had no baggage when he
registered first at the Markham House
Saturday, but had a very glib tongue,
and told such plausible story that
he was permitted to register and Civ
en- room. He was well dressed
and very pleasant spoken fellow,
and his bill for extras soon assumed
startling proportions. The hotel peo.
pie became alarmed and after he had
been there several days party stop
ping there told them he was beat.
The clerk fixed up a scheme, and that
evening he got into the fellows room
on some pretext after he had retired,
and, calmly gathering up the fellows
coat, vest and trousers told HIM they
could be redeemed at the Office for the
amount of his bill. ~
The fellows nerve did not desert
him even in this extremity. He bor-
rowed q macintosh coat from the
clerk which reached to his heels,
which he put on over his undercloth-
ing, in order to 60 after some money,
and walked to the Kimball House,
where he boldly registered, and was
shown to room, leaving word that
when his baggage arrived it was to be
kept until he got up in the morning.
At about 8 o'clock on Sunday morn"
ing he came jumping down stairs,
making great noise of tale OF rob-
berry, in which he had lost his clothes
and SS5 in cash. The hotel manage
ment, without stopping to investigate
the fellow, got him a new suit OF
clothes and paid him $s5, rather than
have such notoriety attached to the
house. The fellow then walked back
to the Markham House, paid his bill,
obtained his clothes and jumped out

bits of camphor in your pocket. They
will prove useful to you for playing
an innocent little trick that will sur
prise your companions, whom You
have previously told that you are 60

After gathering small quantity OF
snow and arranging it in conical pile,
place in the summit of it the few
pieces of camphor in question, the
color of which will sufficiently conceal
them, and which will pass unperceived
unless very close-by observation is

Four Thousand Rabbits Killed.

A day notable for it's sunshine marked the
principal day OF the annual rabbit hunt at
Lamar, Col. There was no wind to bother
the marksmen. Two hundred eager gun.
ners were abroad early and all the valley
resounded with the crack OF firearms. On
the east side of Main street rack 200 teet
long had been erected and on this the game
was stretched. The rack is six feet high,
with an arch Of fifteen feet In the centre.
Here the rabbits sent the first night, num-
bering about 1000, were hung. About 4
o'clock o. m. the first wagon load OF game
was brought In, and from that tiule until 8
O'Clock D. M, wagon followed wagon with
heaping loads Of the furry enemies Of the
farmers. The cleaners worked bravely,
but the odds were against them, and they
were soon half buried In the mnss OF rab bits
awaiting preparation for shipment.
The number OF rabbits secured by the
hunters was 1000. No wagon brought in
less than 100 rabbits, and one went as high
as $50. The total for the halliday and days
shoot will be more than 5000 rabbits. Some
1000 are to he shipped to Pueblo and Dem
yer for distribution among the poor. Most
of the visitors left on a special train. Each
one carried bag of rabbits. The remain
ing rabbits will be shipped by fast freight.
All the rabbits killed are fat and sleek and
show that they have been. living high wk!!s
they could, as If they had speculated on the
uncertainty OF life. The bulk were large,
healthy Jacks that will furnish meal for o
whole family. All records were broken at
this hunt and not single accident occurred.

Bullet. Proof Devices in Plenty.

The invention of bullet-proof shields
is enlsrging, and the patsnT Office will
soon, if it goes on at the present rate,
be compelled to establish special
subdepartment for the exposition OF
devices in this direction. A point is
laid down by New York engineer,
which is that the outer surface OF
such material should be Of soft, yield
ing material. This breaks the blow,
and then the resisting material is apt
to ward off efectually the force OF the
projectile. If the outer surface is
hard and unyielding, the blow is
sometimes so great as to oyerpower the
recipient OF the shock, and instances
are on record that men on the battle
field have actually been killed by this
shock. The whole subject is an in
tricate one, and the progress made in
it is not such as to deter the inventor
from thinking out new DEVICES.

The Legal Year in England.

In England, from the fourteenth
century to the change of calendar in
1852, the legal year began on March
25, and after the change was made
much confusion in dates resulted be.
fore the matter was fully understood.
Even yet an historical issue is some
times clouded by the difference in
methods of reckoning, and it is thus
made uncertain whether an event took
place in the year named or in that fol-
lowing. The present beginning Of the
year on January l, in the middle of
winter, is not a natural, but an entire
ly artificial starting point. The Greek
year originally began with the winter
solstice, as did the year of most North
ern Nations. st. Louis Republic.

A Peculiar Disease.

81 cannot say whether shall make
any detailed and professional use of
my observations" said neurologist,
"but I do not mind telling you in a
general way that New Yorkers are fast
becoming race of unconscious mono
logists-.thst is, of takers to them
selves without knowing it. Go down
into the business quarter of the city
and just watch the people there. I
have not got my percentages together
yet, but it is safe to say roundly that
you will see nearly half the people ex-
hibiting some of the forms of the dis
ease-for of course it is disease.
They are either moving their lips,
wsgging their heads, puckering their
eyebrows, making gestures with their
hands, or doing something, while in q
great number of cases they are busy
carrying on imaginary conversations
between themselves and somebody
else, laying down the laws with much
emphasis, reading the riot act to some
one, or else meeting imaginary issues
with eircumstantial replies.
"You will see men doing the same
thing in hotel lobbies, in the street
cars and on the uptown thoroughfares.
Women are falling into the habit also,
but not SO much as men. The other
day, while I was waiting for my coupe,
I sat at the Office window, and I de-
clare that out of the seventy live peo.
pie who passed, eight were showing
some signs of monalogania.
"Of course the primal cause of the
disease is that we never allow our
minds any period Of repose. We are
so eternally full of plans and schemes
that anything like quiescent mood
is unknown, and that condition of
morbid mental activity supervenes,
which in turn is followed by distinct
weakening of the censory cells, of
which condition self.communication
is always one of the symptoms.
cat the, same time it must not be
overlooked that undoubtedly much of
the habit is due to the fact that this
city is 30 full of noise that one cannot
hear ones self think, and 80 people
have to think aloud. New York Sun.

Made q Farce Of q Tragedy.

Some years ago, famous English
actress, having been disengaged for
some time, had packed her wardrobe
in pepper, to preserve it from moths.
She was suddenly called upon to take
the part of the queen in ''Hamlet. "
Being rather too late for her first
scene, she omitted to shake out her
royal robes, and her dignifed en-
trance had an astonishing effect. The
king, after a brcVe resistance, gave
vent to mighty sneeze that we'll
nigh made the stage vibrate. All the
royal courtiers and maids of honor
followed suit sympathetically. Ham.
let came on with most sublime
tragedy air, but after convulsive
movement of his princely features, he
buried them in his sombre robe, while
sneeze after sneeze was all the public
heard from him. Amid the hubbub
on the stage and the shrieks of de-
light from the audience, the stage
manager, between sneezes, rang down
the tain.-Argonaut.

A Curious Dream.

NV husband was minister at a
large church in New England vii
lage where he had served several
years.
One night I had most curious
dream. / seemed to be in front OF a
long mirror, and reflected in it was
the face of woman / had never seen
before. She had light golden hair,
while mine was dark, and her whole
appearance was different from mine in
every way. I remember thought it
peculiar that I should have changed
go suddenly. Then I woke mp.
The next night I dreamed the same
thing again, but while I was standing
before the glass the woman came into
the room. I turned and pointing to
the mirror, asked her what it meant.
.sOh!'' she said, stthat is the way you
will look!" The following day l told
the family about my dream, and they
all thought it very strange.
IS A few months after this, as I was
walking out of church one Sunday, I
passed pew with strange lady in 1t ;
she turned as I passed, and what was
my surprise to see the very face OF the
lady I had seen in my dream.
Six months later my husband died.
One afternoon the maid announced a
lady and gentleman to see me. went
down to the parlor and came face to
face with the lady Of my dream
the same one I had seen in church.
She introduced her husband, who she
I said was minister and who had been
chosen rector of that parish.
], soon left the parsonage and my
dream partly came true; for this lady
did take my place and became mistress

The Story OF tile Thumbs.

eff you will allow me the Hibernic-
ism, said a young lady of observation,
II would like you to note for me that
the true index finger is the thumb. I
do not mean that from the length of
it's phalanges you can find out whether
there is blonde divinity or q brunette
fate awaiting you, or that from its
spatulated or oval nail I can tell
whether you like pictures or horse
races-all that sort of digital conjur-
ing I leave to the palm mysticists. But
what / do mean is that the thumb is 8
remarkable indicator of its owners
bodily and mental condition.
''The newborn babe holds its
thumbs in the palms of its hands,
clenched in It's little fists, and it is
only when the mind and body both ex-
pand that it takes its thumbs out and
holds them up as independent organs.
What deep connection there may be
between this fact and our simian an
cestry I cannot say. Let mothers
watch their children's thumbs, and if
they stick out boldly it is an unfailing
indication OF good health and aggres-
sive disposition, while if they have a
tendency to seek the shelter Of the
fingers it means feeble health and sub
servient will. s,l
'SJust notice the thumbs of your
friends now, and you viii see the same
relations between their posture and
the mans constitution of mind and
body. The conditions are simplicity
itself; the weak mans thumb is weak
and pendant the strong mans thumb
is strong and erect. The parallelism
is SO marked that you can tell from a
glance at a mans thumbs whether he
is an simless thinker. or man who
carries his ideas, or somebody else's,
into action.
SIT may be treachery to my sex, but
I don't mind telling you that it will be
good thing for you fellows to mark
well the thumbs of the ladies of your
choice. If the girls thumb, be it ever
SO prettily rosy, has a tendency to
stand at right angles to the hand
well, the grs,y mare will need bit,
that's all, while if it lies fiat, or droops
little, you can count on marital sub.
mission to the master mind, and that's
the sort of domestic paradise all you
sons of Adam are looking for, isn't it ?
with the waning of the powers of
frame and brain pot comes the depres'
sion, I had almost said the recession,
of thumb, and whether in senility or
idiocy the thumb is always turned in.
And then, when you turn your face to
the wall and know no more summers
heat ncr winters cold, those that stand
about you and say: We'll, poor old
chap, he's gone at last, will find that
you have tucked your thumbs away in
the shelter of your hands, just as you
had them when you were little
baby" New York Sun.
