Never Phased Him.

Nat Goodwin's first appearance on the
stage was marked with such dire failure
that the only wonder is that he had sufi-
clent courage to persevere. When a
youth he was known for his powers of
n2imicry, and this induced him to accept a
small part in ''Pizarro" and to make his
debut at Providence, r. l. Says the
New York Commercial Advertiser.
Upon the eventful night before the cur~
tain went up Nat was happy and san
guine, though nervous. He got along
very well for the first act, as he was not
in that at all. Between the first and
second acts his nerve began to play him
false, and when it came time for his en-
trance he was nearly in a state of col

less. Again was heard the prompter's
voice: Go on; speak or get off, Nat
came partly out of his trance and was
about to speak when the prompter cried:
Come off! Come off! You - fool!
That settled it. Nat made a rush for
the dressing-room, grabbed and put on an
old linen buster over his picturesque cos.
tune and ran for the railroad station
as though the fends were after him,

were on the ground. Goodwin was in

LIS Man Consistent2

Talk of the inconsistency Of woman!
It doesn't even approach that quality
as possessed by man, though the latter
prides himself greatly on his mental
equipoise, his just judgment and his
thoroughly well-balanced opinions. A
man before he falls in love will declare
that the woman he will marry must be
gifted intellectually, and of a sensible
turn. Yet six months after he has made
this statement he will march down the
aisle of a swell church joined for life to
a girl who is as frivolous as butterfly.
He will declare that woman to be q
good wife must be good cook, and yet
what kind of q wife will he bring home
nine times out of ten? A pretty, stylish
creature who doesn't know bread dough
from chicken croquette.
You can never tell what a man really
does expect of the opposite sex. He is
always in favor of woman dressing we'll
and will prate glibely of the gentle inf1u>
ence that a daintily-a TIRED wife eXerts
and what pleasure to the eye it is to
be greeted in the evening by pretty
woman becomingly gowned, yet if he
fails in business his first cry will be that
it was his wife's eXtravagant fOndnesS
for dress that ruined him.
In fact, despite his answering faith
in his own powers, he is a very unrelia.
BILE person, indeed, and may just as well
keep quiet when the subject of consist
ency is brought up. Man is a noble ami
NAL in many respects and shows his SUI
perior qualities in many ways, but there
are flaws in the armor of his own com.
pleteness and one of these has been point
ed out today.-Philadelph Times.

Hints for Young Collectors.

/ told you recently about a young but
terfy collector | had met in Central
park, and will add today that to be
successful collector of any kind one
must always keep his eyes wide open,
looking at the little things, the points
of difference or similarity. No matter
what he is collecting, whether it be
stamps, coins, rocks, plants or insects,
he must be observing.
Look at the pretty butterfly" did |
hear someone say?
'.That is not a butterfly at all, but
moth"
WELL what's the difference?"
"a great deal of difference. 1t is true
that butterflies and moths both have four
wings covered with little scales, but the
butterflies fly around in the daytime and
rest at night, while the moths are the
owls of the insect world, and seldom
fly except at night or in the dusk. The
up and they stand up straight above his
body like little sails The moth folds
his wings down, almost wrapping them
around his body
The butterfly has two feelers or an
tennae as the books call them, with a
little knob at the end of each, and they
are always erect. The feelers of the
moth are without knobs, but are ''feath-
cred" down to the point, and when the
moth is resting he folds them back I'M
der his wings.
The butterfly, as he sees a great deal
more sunlight than the moth, has much
larger eyes. Perhaps you have noticed
the butterfy's eye, that it is almost like
a little globe, fastened to his head. If
you put butterfy's eye under a strong
microscope you will understand why the
owner is so hard to catch. The eye is
made up of thousands of little eyes or
facets, each Of which receives the rays
of light, so that he can see in almost
all directions at the same time. One sci
enlist says the eye of butterfly num-
bers about 1900 facets. Now that |
have told you something about the but
terfy's eye, / want you to find out for
yourself about his legs. How many
has he? Do all the butterflies have the
same number? Do they use them all in
walking? You should also observe other
insects and learn all you can about them.

Beautiful Creatures.

Apropos of the question rs Man More
Beautiful than Woman" one irate
feminine writer demands:
Where will the disciples of Schopen-
hauer find in the masculine sex anything
so graceful as the slope from we'll
made feminine neck to well-made femi-
nine shoulder?'' and adds: ITO be sure,
woman's shoulders are narrow when they
are compared with the breadth of a
barn door. but the barn door is not the
ideal for all things. Except in sickly
women, who are daily growing more rare,
the shoulders are not only perfectly pro-
portioned to the rest Of the body, and
perfectly adapted to their uses, which are
not the carrying of heavy burdens, but
they are absolutely beautiful. She, is
broad-hipped, to be sure. That is. her
hips are actually broader than mans, but
they are in proportion to the rest Of her
body. Her shoulders. breast, waist and
hips are all fitted to one another SO that
perfect curves are the result. AS to her
legs, the living pictures and ballet dancers
refute all charges against them. Where
is the manager who would dare form a
masculine ballet"'

Learn the value of Money.

The average American girl has practi-
cally no idea of the value of money. 1t
is one of the most discouraging signs of
the times to see the manner in which
our young women spend their pocket
money. And nothing in this wide world
keeps so many young men from marrying
as the constant proof they see of the
lightness in which our girls value money.
Money is spent upon trifes as if silver
and bank notes grew on trees. A dollar
has not it's real value in the eyes of one
girl out of a hundred. Where the saving
instinct exists it is simply employed as a
means to making possible a larger ex-
penditure in the near future. The result
is that our young women get false no.
tons of living and its cost, and they con-
slider themselves abused, in a great many
cases, when upon marriage they must
be content with less than in their fathers
home. The popular notion with the
young people of today is that they must
start where their fathers left off. Our
young men have only truer sense of
the value of money because they are
compelled to earn it, and where the
money comes hard it's value is better i'm
pressed. But even among the most mod
crate classes in this country it is simply
amazing to see the extent to which
money is spent-not only spent, but
wasted, and the absolute disregard to
make provision for "a rainy day" which
exists. The great trouble is that
we have been educated in this country
too much to accept lu1uries as necessi-
ties, and when they are beyond our reach
we cayil at fate.-Edward w. Box in
Ladies' Home Journal

"A Katydid.

A katydid-it was fine specimen of
the grasshopper family, innocent of any
harm-was crawling along the floor of a
passenger coach on the Reading railroad
on Thursday night, near the hour Of II.
Three young women, who had been enjoy
ing dance at Washington park, boarded
ing each other Then the katydid disap-
peared. In a short time the prettiest dam
sci turned white as a ghost, and with
pallid face gave a shrek as she jumped
up on the seat that would have done
credit to a Comanche Indian. AS she
sprang from her seat her companions fol
lowed suit, the three yelling for dear life.
Passengers, brakemen and conductor ran
to the girls aid, but all she could say was:
Its crawlingr' my God! What is it?''
cried the conductor. And as she gave her
skirts shake out dropped the katydid.-

Cunning Of an Afghan.

During a shooting exhibition by some
English soldiers in the presence of an
Afghan chief the latter noticed, to his as
tonishment, that birds were the favorite
butt of the marksmen, who but seldom
missed their aim. Whereupon he de
clared that it was far more difficult to hit
an egg. One of the English officers
laughed at the supposition, but the chief
stood his ground, and the matter was put
to the test. An egg was suspended from
a wall and the soldiers fired at it. but,
strange to say. not one of them hit the
mark The officers kept their counter
ances and excused the non-success of the
firing party on the ground of the difficulty
of the thing. At last soldier fired over
the egg and cut the thread to which the
egg was fastened, and it fell to the
ground without breaking. The mystery
was solved The cunning Afghan had
used blown egg. and the feather-weight
shell had been moved aside each time by
the current of air in front of the ball,
and thus escaped being hit.-London

A FAMOUS GAME.
Four Gentlemen at Poker and All Stood
Pat.

Four Gentlemen at Poker and All Stood
Pat.
A party of players entered a place not
a thousand miles from Summit one night
this week and prepared to enjoy few
hours of recreation at their faVOrite
game. Another game in progress at the
same time was full. SO the four players
were obliged to start at an adjoining
table.
The '.jack pot' came around, each ot
the four players filled in and the game
proceeded. The cards, regulation pack,
fifty-two cards. were cut by the player
to the right of the dealer and dealt out
n the regular manner. The first player
pot" and each succeeding player in turn
raised The limit was 10 cents, the play
ers being usually light bettors, SO that the
raising and lively chipping in before the
draw created considerable surprise.
When the dealer prepared to serve the
cards for the draw each of the players
stood ''pat," and the betting again start
ed.
When each of the players had Clipped
in $40 it was decided to stop the betting,
as that amount had never before been
wagered on a game in the place. and
none of the players could afford to risk
greater amount When the hands
were shown some of the players almost
succumbed to heart disease, for there
lay four straight fushes, one of each
suit, and all running from four to eight.
The pot was divided and the cards were
carefully put away in a case to be pre-
served as a reminder of the greatest poker
hands ever held in this section of and
probably in the United States.-Summit,

AMERICAN FLAX FOR FIBER.
The Best Flax Grows West of the Great
Lakes.

The Best Flax Grows West of the Great
Lakes.
Flax is grown from the seed from Ohio
to the Dakotas, although as yet little at
tention is paid to the fiber. At the Min
nesota station Fargo flax has proved an
especially good yielder of seed, and of
fiber as well, and the variety is being
used as a basis for selection and cross
ing.
White blossomed Dutch fax does not do
well in the rather dry American climate.
1t has been thought necessary to use
faxseed imported from Russia for grow
ing fiber, or at least that which has been
grown only one or two years in Western
Europe, where it is the custom to get
part of the seed every year from Rigar
and vicinity. The experiments Of Prof.
Hays indicate, however, that the states
west of the great lakes are quite as good
a source of faxseed for America, and
probably for the growers of flax fiber in
Western Europe, as in Russia. It is
noteworthy that this fax is grown on
wheat land, and would replace that sta
pie to some eXtent.-American Agricul-

A Matter Of Eggs.

Having taken farm, city merchant
was much puzzled to know why his fowlS
never laid; SO, purchasing two dozen eggs
he at night placed half dozen in the
nests.
"Well, gardener he said next morning
''none of those fowls laid yet?'
mo, sir" answered the gardener. shak-
ing his head sadly. They're very slow,
sir, to lay this time of the year."
The same thing occurred on the follow.
ing two night and mornings. On the
fourth morning the gardener appeared
with one egg, saying: They'll soon be
gin to lay now, sir; here's one on 'em al
ready"
''Well, gardener" the merchant said
II have myself laid four-and-twenty eggs
in the nests, and you pretend the fowls
have laid only one"
The gardener could only reply, "Well
there is the one they laid" and skunk off
to become a gardener elsewhere.-Londou

Not Good Taste.

Should the rocking chair be encour-

to be a much-disputed question. Only a
few days ago it was announced that
eminent physicians declare that the

beneficial But now this is disputed by
another authority. Don't rock" says

Rings and Pins

The love of ones personal property is
instructive, and woman gets to feeling
for her rings and pins a sort of affection,
which is made up of a whole sheaf of
mingled associations. The engagement
and the wedding rings are of course
sacred, but while they cluster around
themselves the sweet memories of the
happiest period of girls life, other
rings are almost equally priced. This
one was bought one summer in Venice
or Geneva; it is a souvenir of a charm
ing trip. The other has been lost and
found a half-doZen times, and seems to
have a mysterious faculty of returning
to it's owner, however careless or unfor-
tunate she may be. About the opal ring
host of legendary superstitions weave
their shadowy halo, and there are peo-
pie who cannot be induced to wear the
beautiful gen. SO timid are they in ref
erence to it's bringing i'll luck in it's
wake.
Jewels possess the subtle beauty of
flowers in less ephemeral shape and
texture. Handed down from generation
to generation, they survive all dynasties
and crashes of change and time. One
may hold in her hand a ring or a pin
which was worn by a reigning belle in
the dim antiquity of the ages when
prime Men come and go, but gems,
like the earth, abide forever.
A celebrated divine used to carry about
in his pocket a few beautiful uncut gems,
loving to handle and to look at the
smouldering fire of the ruby. the deep
cool green of the emerald, and the golden
heart of the topaz. Surely a beautiful
and delicate fancy to gratify.-Harper' S
Bazaar.

Three Rules.

On one occasion writes the Hon. A. L..
Tollemache in ''Some Recollections of
Jowett'' he said to me: "a friend of
mine of great practical ability told me
that he has laid down for himself three
rules of conduct Never retract. Never
explain. Get it done and let them howl
Jowett repeated these paradoxical max
inns with a characteristic laugh, which
seemed at any rate not to mark disap-
proval. Once when / came back from
a holiday and told Jowett | had been
reading Hegel, he said: Its good
thing to have read Hegel, but now that
you've read him, advise you to forget
him again. But the quaintest thing
that he said was to pupil who had been
reading him an essay with a strong meta
physical flavor: ''It is remarkable what
a fascination metaphysics seem to possess
for the human mind. It is like falling in
love. But you get over it after time
He wished to keep up the House Of
Lords, and even wished the bishops to re-
tain their seats in it. TT keeps them
out of mischief, - he said, with a laugh.
