Not on the Map.

In q certain New England town there
once lived wealthy but illiterate man,
who owned many sailing-vessels and
followed their course over the seas by
the aid of an enormous atlas. A neigh
Dor who stopped on one occasion to see
him on a matter of business, was ush-
cred into the library, where he found
the ship-owner, with his spectacles
astride his nose, poring over the atlas,
which was spread open on the table be-
fore him.
I'm glad you've come in," said he,
rising to grasp his guests hand cordial
ly, ''for there's little point you may
be able to help me about. I've just had
a letter from one of my captains, and
he tells me that he's been in a fearful
storm and didn't know but the vessel
would go to pieces.
Hes a well-educated man, and he
uses first-rate language" said the ship
owner, proudly; 'I'll just read you out
the passage from his letter that puzzles
me. He says: The waves rose like
mountains, and the storm ragged about
us, while nothing but the vivid light.
ming broke the pitchy gloom. But al
though death seemed likely to be our
portion, we were saved; driven before
the wind and put into great jeopardy,
but still here am, pen in hand
''Now what want to know is" said
the ship-owner, as he refolded the sheet
from which he had read the precious
extract, and placed it carefully in his
wallet, "what I want to know is.
Where is Great Jeopardy? know it's
somewhere on the Mediterranean, but
1 can't seem to find it on this pesky
map, anywhere!'

Couldn't LET Go.

A business man accustomed to hard
work for many years usually finds idle
ness irksome. Men who have been acl
lively in the harness as a rule do not
like to retire, although retirement In
old age is the goal Of the average work
er. A successful Chicagoan, who has
reached 60 years, said to me the other
day: Il am going to quit. I have
worked for thirty years without q
weeks vacation: now 1 am going to-
rest for thirty years. 1 have earned ev-
cry dollar 1 possess; and I intend to
spend money and stop worrying about
accumulating it."
l applauded this determination and
inquired how he determined to spend
his leisure.
II have bought homestead in
Blank" he said, naming small town in
Michigan, "and I shall remove there
with my family and simply wallow in
idleness and cOntentment."
But how will you pass your spare
time?" insisted.
"Well, I'll hunt and fish," he said.
"Good; but that will not keep you
busy the year round" ventured.
NO; but I shall read. I'll take all the
papers. 1 will get together little IL
brary, too
'What will occupy all your extra
time?"
"Oh, I shall walk about good deal, 1
dare say. EXercise-you know-great
thing for an old man."
''Is that your entire program?'
"N-no, not exactly" he said, hesitat-
ingly. I'm going to organize a private
bank down there and manage it."-Chi-
cagO Times-Herald.

rNDecteuco of R.e~

The question as to whether a bee
has a conscience was raised in my
mind, and answered in the affirmative
by the following incident which I OBJ
served in the course of a country ram
BILE on the coast of Devon, says the
London Spectator. There were sew
eral small buMblebees steadily at work
among the many gay-colored blossoms
which form a perfect flower-bed on
either side of cliff walk on that love
ly promOntory opposite the little fish
ing town of Salcombe. Each bee kept
to his own particular flower as $50 Sir
John Lubbock tells us), all well-con-
Quoted bees should do. But one be-
came puzzled by the likeness in color
between black knapweed and purple
thistles. His flower for this outing
was evidently the knapweed, and
when he had exhausted all its bios
SONS in the immediate neighborhood
he was beguiled by similarity in color
into trying thistle, but, on alighting,
he instantly discovered his mistake,
and flew about looking for more KNAPP
weed, which he might easily have
found by flying few yards further.
Instead, however, he returned to the
inviting thistlehead, and this time
gave himself up with perfect abandon
TO it's luscious delights, sitting the
voice of conscience which on his first
visit he had so instantly obeyed.
These little bumblebees well repay
the time spent on watching their
small, busy lives. On another occa-
sion, when camping for the day in a
fir-wood, my sister became aware Of
two Of these soft little creatures buz-
zing round and round the skirt of her
dress in such a determined spirit that
we felt they meant business and not
mischief. My sister drew her skirt
away, when the bees instantly made
for tiny hole in the bank, evidently
their house door. Their gentle, persist
ent manner of making thier meaning
known to us was most striking.

millions Of Cook Books Given Away.

There is one large house in this country
that has taken business on its turn and
means to ride in on the rising tide. Alive
to the signs of better times and to the best
interests of the people, they are now cir
culating among families a valuable pub
lication known as The Charles A. Yoge-
Ter Company's Cookery Book and Book of
Comfort and Health, which contains very
choice information on the subject of cook
ing. Receipts for the preparation of good,
substantial and dainty dishes, prepared es-
pecially for it by leading authority, will
be found in it's pages. Much care has
been taken in its preparation and distribu-
ton, with the hope that it will be just
the thing needed for housekeepers, and
Just the thing needed also for the care of
the health and household. AS a Cookery
Book it will be invaluable to keep on hand
for reference.
1t also contains full information in re-
gard to the great remedies of this house,
which provide against bodily ailments, es-
pecially the Master Cure for Pains and
Aches, st. Jacobs Oil.
To give some idea of the labor and ex-
pense of this output, more than 200 tons
of paper has been used in its publication,
and at the rate of 100000 day, it has
taken several months for the issue.
The book can be had of druggists every
where, or by enclosing &c stamp to The
Charles A. Vogeler Company, Baltimore,

A Marxeloua Accident.

Henry Sutton, Of Warren County, Pa,
was the victim Of perhaps the most
marvellous accident ever known. On
the 10th day Of August he was at work
at the bottom Of an oil well derrick,
when three-quarter inch iron bar 21
feet long, cut off square at the end, fell
from the top Of the derrick, "a feet,
striking him on the neck, passing
through the body and coming out below
the left nipple, entering the body at the
thigh and coming out three and three
quarter inches above the knee, passing
on down, severing the little toe from the
left foot and sinking IS inches into the
ground. Over 0 feet Of this rough iron
rod passed through the body, and after
becoming unconscious some fellow.
workmen discovered what had hap,
pened, and laid the poor sufferer down
and extracted the iron bar by pulling il
out. No one thought that he would live
an hour, but he recovered.

Costly Oriental Regalia.

The most expensive royal regalias in
the world are said to be those Of the
maharajah of Baroda, India. First
comes a gorgeous collar containing 500
diamonds, arranged in five rows, some
Of these as large as walnuts. A top and
bottom row of emeralds of equal size
relieve the Iuster of the diamonds. A
pendant is composed of a single bril-
liant called the "Star of the Deccan,"
and there are aigrettes, necklaces,
bracelets, rings and chains to match.
The mahara jah's own special carpet, 10
by 6 feet in extent, made entirely Of
pearls, with big diamond in the CEN
ter and in each corner, cost 81 500, 900.

Night in the Desert.

r. Talbot Kelly, the English artist
who illustrated Slatin Pasha's Fire
ind Sword In the Soudan," has written
paper for the Century, which he calls
In the Desert with the BedOuih." Mr..
Kelly has drawn a number of atriking
pictures for the article. A bit of this
description is as follows: Night in the
iesert is very solemn. Surrounded by
.hese sandy wastes melting in the
gloom, the silence of nature is almost
painful, and the occasional howl of
iackal or neigh of horse only serves
o accentuate the succeeding stiffness.
while the wonderfully rare atmosphere
makes the stars appear of such unus-
lal size and nearness that one feels op
pressed with n sense of lonely little
ness. / am often asked how l occupy
my time in the desert; my reply Is,
painting" Everything is paintable,
md the desert is always beautiful. In
initely varied in texture and local
color. prolific of wild flowers and in
sect life, it's interest is unending, while
is trackless eXpanse undulating to the
horizon seems like an ocean suddenly
3etrified into absolute rest, and i'm
presses the mind with a sense of vast
ness and repose which nothing, in my
opinion, can equal. Again, as the ef-
:ects of varying weather pass over
The silent land, how perplexing are
The quick transitions from gray to gold
as passing sunbeams play hide-and-
seek among its pillows, or when the
white heat of day gives place 10 the
violets and yellows of sunset! Added
to the intrinsic beauty of the desert it
self are the innumerable subjects
always ready to hand-now a goat
herd watching his flock, or a party Of
arabs exercising their horses; about
the tents domestic duties in full swing;
a negro slave roasting coffee over a
fire Of cobs; black-robed women fitting
from tent to tent; or group Of gaily
dressed children, the girls playing
''knucklebines" in the sand. the boys,
as usual, indulging in the mischief
readiest to hand. Everywhere a pic
ture! An artists paradise, indeed, the
only drawbacks of which are ones
utter inability to accomplish tithe of
the subjects surrounding one, and the
discomforts and hardships of its life.

COUNTING THE APPLE SEEDS.

Made rosy by the great logs light,
Beside the hearth one winter night
That flaming up the chimney dark,
Hit every Granny, every nook,
Upon the rug little maid
Sat curled, in pose demure and staid.
In pensive mood, with dreamy eyes
She sits, while up the chimney flies
A thought with every fiery spark
Glinting and flashing through the dark.
Till with sigh profound and deep
She moves, as one moves in her sleep.
A rosy apple in her hand
A weight of thought seems 70 demand,
She taps it with finger light,
Then carefully she takes bite,
Another bite, now one, now two
The core is thus exposed to view.
Another sigh! what can it be,
My little maid, that aiieth thee?
All! what is this? Some incantation!
Muttered with such reiteration?
Hark! as each seed her bright eyes see,
These are the words that come 10 me:
"One l love, two l love,
Three love, / say!
Four love with all my heart,
Five l cast away
Here a tear rolls brightly down.
What the secret she has won,
Who can say? But just behind
Sounds a voice SO soft and kind:
"Look again! Thou must indeed
Find for me another seedw
Roster her bright cheeks glow
In the firelight's ruddy glow.
Sure enough! culprit seed
Finds she in the core indeed
From thy lips fain would hear
What the sixth one means, my dear"
six he loves" she murmured low,
And the firelight's Pickering glow
Two happy faces now disclose
With cheeks aglowing like the rose,
But here we'll let the curtain fall,
For the end is best of all.
