A Unique Ornament.

Out OF. Broadway store there stepped
lately a tall, dignifed, gray haired
woman. She started down town and,
stopping to look in the shop windows,
Immediately became the object of very
lively interest OH the part of the women
around her. They first stared at her Gu
riously and then smiled. The women
who approached her noticed nothing be-
yond the fact that she was handsome,
well dressed woman and attending to
her own affairs. But the people back Of
her were smiling, and not all of them
could explain the cause of the peculiar
sight which excited their merriment, In
the back Of the woman's hair was a
comb, and attached to this was large
spider web of green silk. In the center
OF the web was a red velvet spider. The
thing must have measured six inches in
diameter, but it was light enough to
hang readily on her comb. People who
saw her at distance from the store out
Of which she had come had no idea how
such decoration could have got on her
head.
Her complete unconsciousness showed
that she was quite unaware of its pres
ence, and as most of the smiles were be-
hind her back she also failed to see
them. The people who saw her come
out OF the store explained the curious
sight to their satisfaction. The shop is
devoted to the sale of Oriental goods,
and many articles such as this staid
Looking woman had on her head are dis

teered to remind her of it's presence or
ask II it was meant to be there So she
continued her walk decorated with the

How DR.. cuyler Became a Minister,

Peter Carter, in Golden Rule, tells
how the Rev. DR.. Theodore L. Cuyler
became a minister. It was chiefly ow
ing to his mothers influence. Most Of
Theodore's immediate male ancestors
were distinguished lawyers, and one Of
them offered him fine library if he
would enter the legal profession. His
mother, however, had consecrated him
to the ministry, and fearing that he
might be persuaded into the study of
law she sent him abroad, which was the
first Of his many trips across the sea.
While he was absent in Europe, his
mother engaged room for him at
Princeton Theological seminary, SO
strong was her faith that he was to be
q minister. On his return from Europe
young Cuyler went with his mother to
visit some relatives near Ludlowville,
N. Y, and while there made two or
three addresses at small religious meet.
ings His addresses were so successful
in their effect that he was convinced
that the Christian ministry was hi
proper field of labor.

to the front of the car, where, in the

at ease, was reading a paper. just as
block he looked up, and, seeing the
woman standing, offered her his seat.
She took it, and in the hush which had
fallen upon the waiting passengers her
failure to express thanks or even so
much as bow her head was especially
noticeable. The man held the strap he
had taken but a moment and then,
leaning over toward the woman, as
though by way of making reply, said:
''Not at all, lhadam. You re quite well
come, I'm sure. - She bluG'.."d slightly
and smiled, but Il fuftlN - .lnce along
the rows Of watching faces showed her
that all had noticed the rebuke and rec
ognized it as such.
She turned quickly and looked ahead
out of the window, but she was wom
an, and, unable to remain in ignorance
of the effect created by the incident, she
turned agaH. All the passengers were
looking at'her and smiling. When she
again looked out Of the window, which
she did as soon as she could turn her
head, the blush had changed to a deep
scarlet, extending from the collar Of her
dress to the roots of her hair. When the
car had moved ahead for two blocks,
she got out, and everybody who remain
ed felt sure she will not again accept a
seat in street Car without thanking
the person who gives it to her.-New

The best of men are at times liable to
make very serious mistakes. A man in
Leicestershire village woke III the

the harsh grating of saw on hard
board and at once jumped to the con-

He slipped out of bed, glided like a
specter into the hall and. again listened
and this time became fully satisfied that
his first suspicious We're correct.
Selling his trusty gun, he poured a
handful Of powder and ditto Of shot into
each barrel, capped it and, softly raising
an up stairs window, blazed away in
the darkness, the shot being followed by
howl of pain from below
He then hurriedly drew on few of
his most necessary garments and went
to investigate the matter, and upon the
first step found the wounded form of a
neighboring youth, who, in feeble tones,
explained that he had come over to sere-
made his sweetheart the old mans only
daughter, with song and that when he
was shot he was driving ahead as best
he could on ''Sweet Spirit, Hear Ny

He expressed no surprise at the old

have at least yelled "Who's there?'' be-
fore he pulled the trigger, but the shoot

just a little scared. so didn't stop to
