1t Made Mamma Sad. but the Baby G1oated
and Was Glad.
She was a sweet little woman, with
big brown eyes and pretty air of de-
termination and hardly summoned for
titude, as she led 4-year-old boy into
an up town barber shop. She took off
his hat and dallied lovingly for mo-
ment with his long yellow curls. Then
she spoke to the man in the first chair,
but her voice faltered and fell, and no
one else could hear what she said
In minute the little chap was perched
atop of a hassock placed in the chair,
big apron was around his neck, and the
barber with comb and shears in hand
was preparing to begin his work
The little woman seated herself reso-
lutely with her face to the street and
gazed straight out at the stream of
teams and bicycles that fills Woodward
avenue just before noon, but she didn't
seem to see anything of the long process

Snip, snip, SNIP" went the shears,
and still she looked straight ahead be-
fore her. Then her head began to turn
slowly, but before the fatal chair came
in view she had recovered her nerve and
Strengthened herself with little shiver,
fixing her gaze once more ON the oppo-
site side of the street.
But that couldn't last long. Her
hands were beating nervously on the
arms of the chair, and the toe of
dainty boot made a rat-a-tat- tat on the
thing. She shifted uneasily in her seat,
and pretty soon her head turned again,
very slowly this time, until she could
see the devastation the shears had
wrought.
One side of the little chaps head was
already shorn of its long locks, and the
unfeeling tonsorial artist held another
curl at full length "Snip'' went the
shears. The little woman gasped, and
big tear rolled down her cheek. She
fiicked it off, but another followed it.
She didn't look away again, but the
barber's task was nearly finished before
she trusted herself to speak.
Then she swallowed hard, tried to
smile and said in strained, wabbly
voice:
They're almost gone now, baby. "
Yes, responded the youngster, with
an approving glance at his reflection in
the mirror. II guess Dick won't call

Head Decorations That Are as Grotesque
They Are Ingenious.
The Zulu jinrikisha men are COM
PEELED by the English authorities to
wear uniform-a white linen tunio
and loose white trousers cut off above
the knee. They were like children play
ing at horse in the nursery, and they
uttered continuous native gurglings,
partly like turtledoves and partly like
the halleluliah CALCULATIONS at one of our
African Methodist camp meetings. They
all appeared very happy during this
performance, which continued so long
that l calculated the amount of energy
expended to represent about ten miles
of unpaid travel. Though the body
dress was uniform, there was magnifl-
cent diversity regarding head decora-
ton. One would wear a common straw
hat hung around the brim with tassels
suggestive of pagoda, and the chief
delight of the wearer was in shaking
his head for the pleasure of making the
tassels dance. Another had fastened a
pair of COW horns on either side of his
head Immediately above the ears, and
he grinned at me SO effusively that /
concluded he must have taken great
pains with the construction of this
hideous headpiece. The kinky top of a
third had been interlaced with an enor-
nous profusion of long strings of wool,
to which small fluffy balls were at
tached at short intervals.
The head of negro SO decorated
looked like huge black mop or one
of those Skye terrier dogs about whom
one is never safe in saying which is the
other end In repose it is uncanny, but
when your jinrikisha Zulu springs
about in the shafts and throws his head
up and down like a colt impatient OF
the bit the effect upon the newly ar
rived is akin to what once experienced
when a long black log of wood upon
which l proposed to rest myself turned
out to be huge black snake resting
from his gastronomic exercises. -Poult-

My attention was first called to this
strange fact by the tragic and sudden
death of lady acquaintance in Boston
several years ago. accepted her hus-
bands invitation to dine with them.
just as we were going in to dinner a
servant did something that caused the
lady to fly into terrible rage She had

unusually large amount of soft scram-
bled eggs. Fifteen minutes after we
left the dining room she was a corpse.
She died in frightful commissions be-
fore the nearest doctor reached the
house. The doctor was unable to ascribe
the cause. A few months later l was
visiting a brother in Connecticut, and
one of his sons died under similar cir
eumstances. Before breakfast one morn
ing the boy, who was about 10 years
old, had fight with neighbor's boy.

four soft boiled eggs Had known as

after breakfast the boy died with exact

when my friends wife died. This set
me to thinking about the matter.
''It wasn't long after this before a
Beacon hill friend of mine expired sud-
denly after a meal. The doctors, as
usual, were divided in opinion ON the
cause Of death. Some Of them contend
ed that it was heart failure, whatever
that is, and others are still holding out
that it was apoplexy. Inquiry by me
developed the fact that my friend was
very angry when he sat down at table
and that he ate five eggs. With these
developments l searched no further for
the cause of his death. He was angry,
he ate eggs, and he died. If these are
not links in the chain of cause and eff
feet, the human intellect is incapable of
logical thinking. ST. Louis Republic

NO DANGER OF CIVIL WAR.

There is no longer any danger of
civil war, says Woodrow Wilson in The
Atlantic. There was war between the
south and the rest of the nation because
their differences were removable in no
other way. There was no prospect that
slavery, the root of those differences,
would ever disappear in the mere proc
ess of growth. 1t was to be apprehended,
on the contrary, that the very processes
of growth would inevitably lead to the
extension of slavery and the perpetual
ton Of radical social and economic CON
trasts and antagonisms between state
and state, between region and region.
A heroic remedy was the only remedy.
/ Slavery being removed, the south is
now joined with the west-joined with
it in stage of development, as region
chiefly agricultural, without diversified
industries, without multifarious trade,
without those subtle extended nerves
which come with all round economic
development, and which make men
keenly sensible of the interests that link
the world together, as it were, into a
single community. But these are lines
of difference which will be effaced by
mere growth, which time will calmly
! ignore. They make no boundaries for

A LUCKY FIND.
Tale of Valuable Watch That Was Lost
on an Elevated Railroad.

Tale of Valuable Watch That Was Lost
Elevated Railroad.
"This watch in itself is valuable
/ one, P" said New York business man as
he took the timepiece from the peculiar
looking fob in which he carries it, but
1t had an adventure last week that gives
1t still greater value to me. The fob
is an heirloom, and, as you may see,
would be apt to attract attention any
where.
Zone afternoon last week was go
ing up town on a crowded train on the
Sixth avenue elevated. The train was
SO crowded that / was compelled to
stand on a car platform close to the
brake wheel. AS the train was round
ing the curve out of West Third street I
took my watch from my pocket, re-
moved it from the fob, and, after not
ing the time, showed it back into the
fob and returned it, as / thought, to
the pocket. Instead Of getting 1t into
the pocket, however, it was on the out
side, and as let it go it fell. The
guard saw it as it fell and reached out
his foot to save it from going between
the platforms, but failed, and down it
went.
II got off the train at Eighth street
and ran back as fast as I could to the
spot where the watch had dropped, hav-
ing, l may of course say, not the
slightest hope that the watch would be
anywhere to be seen. When reached
the place, my heart almost jumped out
of my throat, for there in the street,
conspicuous among its surroundings,
lay the fob. picked it up. 1t was emp
ty. No watch could find anywhere.
Some one has found it, was natu-
rally my conclusion, and that was the
last | ever expected to hear or see of it.
But as l walked back toward the
Eighth street station got to thinking
about the matter differently. If any one
had found the watch, why should he
have left the fob? The more / thought
of it the more | made up my mind hat
the watch hadn't been found. I board
ed train at Eighth street and went up
town to the railroad Headquarters
There l told of the singular thing that
ietO dPpOAOO W AlJ WdcOli, du0 OuO O1-
ficer in charge told me that after the
commission hours were over for the day
the track walkers would start from
Fifty ninth street down the line, max
ing their regular inspection of the rails
and roadway, and he would instruct
them to keep an eye out for the lost
watch.
But, said he, smiling, I guess
you will have to come to the conclu-
sion, after all, that some one else will
tell the time by it hereafter if it hash
been smashed to pieces by the fall.
Next day l went to the Office. My
watch was there A track walker had
discovered it by the light of his torch
at midnight lying snugly on one Of the
Orders or braces of the iron roadway
beneath the track. The ring was sprung
out of its fastening in the stem, and
| the watch was open. There was dent
ON the case at the hinge In falling the
watch had struck in some mysterious
way so that it had been forced from the
fob, which went on down to the street.
Beyond the trifing damage mentioned
the watch was not injured in the slight
est. If there ever was a luckier find
than that, never heard of it. New

THE LOBSTER TANK.
An Aquarium Exhibit That Many Vie,
With Lively Interest.

An Aquarium Exhibit That Many View
With Lively Interest.
There are few tanks at the aquarium
more interesting than that containing
the Holsters. The Holsters there now are
not great, like some of the monsters
that have been exhibited, but they are
lively and in good condition, and the
display of their characteristics as they
move about or pause to eat is almost
startling to one unfamiliar with the
lobster in life.
Whoever has picked up live lobster
in market and found the big claws
dropping, as they will if the lobster
hasn't much life left in him, is sure to
be interested when he sees the lobster
here walking off briskly on his slender
legs, carrying his big claws in front of
him clear of the ground and his heavy
tail clear likewise. His ordinary man.
ner of progression is forward, and when
he turns he swings his heavily weighted
projecting ends with facility, but if he
meets an obstruction or an enemy his
usual way is to dart backward and per-
haps diagonally upward through the
water, which the lobster can do with
great suddenness.
The Holsters feeding apparatus is
wonderful. About the mouth there are
lots of little attachments, all the time
in motion when the lobster is feeding,
which slice the food off in little shreds
as the lobster holds it up to his mouth
If another lobster should come up, this
lobster would know it, even though the
other came up behind or at the side, and
would turn to defend himself or to fight
or to flee or to warn the other away.
The Holsters long feelers he can pro-
ject one i'll one direction and the other
in another, and with these, as he moves
forward, back or sidewise, he guards
against danger.
There are perhaps dozen Holsters in
the tank. In the center of the tank there
is little rock There is likely to be
seen upon this rock little lobster, not
a dull, old lobster lying down, but an
alert young lobster standing up and sup
porting easily his big claws and his
powerful tail-a young lobster ready to
eat, to fight or to run away.-New York
Sun.

The Peacock at Home.

The real home of the peacock or pea
fowl is in India. There they were and
are hunted, and their flesh is used for
food. AS the birds live in the same re-
gion as the tiger, peacock hunting is a
very dangerous sport. The long train of
the peacock is not its tail, as many sup
pose, but is composed of feathers which
grow out just above the tail and are
called the tail coverts Peacocks have
been known for many hundred years.
They are mentioned in the Bible. Job
mentions them, and they are mentioned,
too, in I Kings x. Hundreds of years
ago in Rome many thousand peaoocks
were killed for the great feasts which
the emperors made. The brains Of the
peacock were considered a great treat,
and many had to be killed for single
feast. ST. Nicholas.

berry can be successfully cultivated and
is conducting experiments to prove it.
Several New York state farmers re-
port success with alfalfa.
American Cultivator advises, unless
your land is free from weeds, sowing
timothy with some winter grain, either
wheat or rye
In many sections potatoes on low
ground are rotting badly, and even on
high ground blight has appeared with
serious results.
The attention of Pennsylvania farm
ers is called to the new law to prevent
the spread of the contagious diseases
known as yellows, black knot, peach

shores of some undiscovered country.
AS You sprawl OH the bamboo decking
under the shadow of the immense palm
leaf sail-which is SO ingeniously rig
ged that, if taken aback, the boat must

look out through half closed eyelids at
very beautiful coast. The waves
dance and glimmer and shine in the
sunlight, the long stretch of sand is as
yellow as buttercup, and the fringes
of graceful casuarina trees culver like
aspens in the breeze and simmer in
the heat haze. The wash of the waves
against the boat s side and the ripple of
the bow make music in your drowsy
ears, and as you glide through cluster
after cluster of thickly wooded islands
you lie i'll that delightful comatose state
in which you have all the pleasure of
existence, with none of the labor of

VALUE OF A WINDMILL
Compared With Gasoline Engine Flo
the Farm

Compared With q Gasoline Engine For
the Farm.
Windmills and gasoline engines for
the farm received attention in the COL
umns of The Rural New Yorker not
long ago. Irving d. Cook, New York,
who has used windmill successfully
for many years, said there is no trouble
in procuring constant WAFER supply
provided the conditions are properly ar
ranged. To quote his own words:
In the first place first class mill and
pump are required, pipes for conveying
water to and from the storage tank well
protected from frosts during the most
severe weather, and the tank of suffi-
Gent capacity to insure water for the
amount of stock, even during a period
of three or four days if necessary. when
there is not wind sufficient to run the
mill-instances that seldom occur, how
ever. Our own mill, which has faith
fully performed its work during the
summers heat and winters storms for
nearly II years, without dollars ex-
pense for repairs, is running this morn
ing in as good condition apparently as
ever.
Another correspondent, who had tried
both windmill and engines, wrote: 81
am sure that the windmill is the cheap
est and best way to supply place with
water. As one man says, the windmill
sometimes fails, but the gas engine al
ways fails unless he furnishes the gaso-
line, and then he has to. be there to
start and stop it. What is needed with
windmill is a tank large enough to
hold two or three days water supply.
With such tank one need have no fear
of water famine. With good gaso-
line engine there is very little danger
of accident or fire, if carefully handled,
but the engine costs a good deal Of
money, it makes lots of noise, and the
gasoline costs money, but it will get
the water all right.
'By system of floats in the tank
the mill can be made to shut itself out
of wind when the tank is full and start
again when any desired portion is used
out. With such an arrangement all one
need to do is to oil the mill once a week
and let it alone. There isn't doubt
that in the near future we are going to
light, and, I wouldn't be surprised,
warm our houses and light our barns
with electricity generated by windmills.
Dynamos for generating the electricity
can be run now with windmills, and
all that is needed is some economical
storage plant
