But Despite Mary Kyle Dallas Satire the
Family Might Be Worse.
The accomplished family usually re-
side out of town. They go in for all the
arts and sciences in an amateurish fash

They rather despise the actors, must

went on over her never heard their

Sir Henry Irving and Ellen Terry and
those foreign folk, why, they please a
certain class, but when the accom-
plished family give private perform

opinion that that is something worth
while. They played "Othello" last

was not sinful when done in a private
residence.

Funny Requests For Books That Amuse
and Amaze Employees.
Once in awhile the clerks in the pub

through the ignorance of people who
come there to take out books. 1t was
not long ago that a woman who was
anxious to join the Daughters of the
American Revolution came there to
look up her family history and get her
facts and claims ready to submit to the
committee on membership She went
about it in rather queer way. After
looking about aimlessly through the in
dex for time she discovered ''Lossing's
Family History of the United States. -
She wrote her request for the books on
one of the cards provided for that pur-
pose and was quite indignant with the
clerk who handed it to her because it
did not contain what she wanted.
1t was not long after this incident
that another woman, who, from her
dress and appearance, the clerks thought,
might be literary, wrote on one of the
cards request for FThe Autoerat Of
the Breakfast Table. .

It is perhaps not generally known,
says the New York Sun, even in
Brooklyn, that persons of respect
able appearance may travel on the
street cars of that city when they
have no money. A woman who has
left her purse at home, or man who has
spent all his change speculating in
stocks. if ordinarily well dressed, has
only to tell the conductor the condi-
ton of affairs. on boarding car, to
get carried to any desired point The
conductor gives the penniless passen-
ger an envelope addressed to the Office
Of the company in which to forward
later the lacking nickel. This is done
as matter of course. and only a pas
senger who looks disreputabIe meets
with refusal. This system has been in
operation some time. which is apparent
proof that the passengers who thus get
trusted for their fares use the envelopes
given them for the purpose for which
thav are intended.

One of the greatest mysteries to scien-

no reasonable explanation, is that con-
eerning the migration of he lemming,

once a year i.sy5e inigrations occur only
once in every years When the time
comes for the exodus, the little animals
journey westward from Scandinavia,
allowing ratl.as to stop their move

headlong flight. They swim the lakes
and rivers and climb the highest moun-
tains in incalculable numbers, devastat-
ing the whole country through which
they travel Naturalists attribute the
movement to some inherited memory Of
a fight to escape an expected cataclysm.

The sultan's heir is not his eldest
