"My Own Notes.

l have made in q number of years OF
ardent collection quite a library Of my
own notes, and the fact that have al
ready lived two-thirds of my probable
tether of life and am ''buccaneer" Of
the newspaper world by stress Of cir
cumstances sometimes gives me pang.
/ recognize the righteousness of my col
lection for an impossible future of com
fort and leisure, for even one possible
posthumous work have never had
leisure to produce one whole or COM
plete piece of literature and probably
never shall have days leisure in my
life, but this irony of fate does not de-
ter me.
I am like a collector of specimens of
butterflies. He will never learn to fly,
or the secret of it. or anything in par
ticular, but he goes on collecting.
/ shall never write the books of the
sketch skeletons in my imagination, but
/ shall certainly continue to make end
less preparations for posthumous Ii
brary of. according to my schemes and
plots and themes, some 1000 sturdy
volumes.
The world of readers may thank God
perhaps that these books will not ap-
pear in print, but I am just mad
annnuh To e,s@- fzr--frrc
making, in imagination, these schemes
for books that can never be written.
Perhaps it is as sane an occupation as
old china collecting, stamp collecting,
button collecting and, to jump to the
extreme of Philistinism, the collection
of dubious old masters, mostly daubs.
l confess this speculation seems to me
to be a fad no wiser. Looking at 1t from
my point of view, as a book lover, !
think what o library these daubs would
buy-Lotus.

that lounge and the confusion of things in
this office all speak too loudly, sir, OF the
base manner in which you passed last
night away from home. -
Indeed, Minnie, You say, this is too
much. | began to feel that you almost or
quite believe that fact which your man
ner and mood this morning seem to indi
cate Last night I was at the thoater.
Must l bring sam and Wendell to prove
my whereabouts: No, Minnie. You would
not have me do thats"
Your first business on hand today, MIR.
Quinton, is to clear up, if at all possible,
these appearances that speak so clearly
against you, or my course shall be for di
vorce"
"WeIl, there, Minnie, that caps the eli
max! Come, let US to breakfast. I'm
deuced hungry. But broken combs,
lounge and hair are enough-ugh-to
take from man all appetite, save, perhaps,
to quarrel, and that, you know, Minnie, l
will not do, but l shall do my best, Min
pie, 10 clear it up TO you in that light"
Breakfast partaken of in silence, but
not without some pain experienced by each,
Frank resolved on the course now to be
taken. Poor Minnie, unable to finish her
morning meal, again broke down and left
the table weeping.
On returning to the office Franks first
course was to gather up the broken frag
ments of combs scattered there and lay
them out carefully on his desk. Each
piece fits its fellow, and together, complete,
form just one dozen small hairpins or
combs, as be had suspected. Yes, it was a
trick, but the joker had overshot the mark.
The trick was overdone-too many combs
for the reasonable care of only one femi-
nine head. Besides. the package or wrap
per from which they were taken was
found. II was therefore with no little
eladness that the generous and honest
Frank QuintOn FASTENED to share his
transport with his weeping wife.
But long and labored was the argument,
even with all the direct evidence he
could produce, which he was compelled
to present to the doubling wife, so deep
were the insidious inroads of the jealous
pan2s suddenly aroused by these singular
ly combined appearances in her husbands
office. How true is it, as the bard has
said, "ITihes light as air are to the jeal-
Gus confirmation strong as proofs of holy
writ!n Indeed it was several weeks ere
the earlier confidence Of the trusting Min
ME was fully restored in the breast of the
unhappy wife.
The young man who practiced the joke
without the least intention of injury came
forward at length and cleared up the mat
ter to the satisfaction of all, but, though
forgiven, he is haunted with such a feel
ing of deepest regret that he says he will
never forgive himself for thus unwittingly
injuring near and dear friend. He has
learned in this life lesson, never to trifie
with the affections of another.-New York

Bending Cardboard.

An English inventor-name or loca-
tion we do not find given-is said 10
have contrived a tool capable of being
attached to any machine or apparatus
having transversing slide and a fxed
table that will bend cardboard without
the need Of score cut, thus preserving
the full strength of the material at the
bend. The tool in question is formed Of
metal or wood and is in two parts, one
having a recess on one edge and the
other q straight edge, having the upper
edge rounded of to fit into the recess
on the edge Of the first part, allowing
space between equal to the thickness c&
the substance to be bent-the length Of
the straight edge to be made to the
longest bend required In using the
tool, the second mentioned part is made
a fixture to the table machine frame or
apparatus and the first part is attached
to the traversing portion. By placing
the cardboard to be bent ON the straight
edge, then sliding the second part over
and along the board under a certain
amount of pressure, bend in the card
will be produced. New York Sun.

DESCENDANTS OF PILGRIMS.
Sir Walter Besant Figures That There
Are 10000 In AmerlcA.

Are 10000 In America.
Aany people in America claim descent
from the pilgrim fathers. There might
be very considerable number, if we
come TO think of it. For instance, let
Us assume the number Of married peo-
pie among the first hundred who sur
vived the first winter as 90 couples We
will allow them three children apiece.
We will give 10 each of these children
two-a large allowance, il Is true. Then
we have for each married couple, for
the first generation, 8 descendants; for
the second. G; for the third, IL; for the
fourth, "a for the fifth, IS; for the
sixth, 90; for the seventh, l92 for the
eighth, 3s4; for the ninth and the pes
ent generation, 76S, and for the orig
inal 90 married couples, l5,3 So
that the living descendants OF the 9-cy-
flower pilgrims can hardly be more ,;.sn
about 3, 600. Out of these great many
have probably clean forgotten their Ge-
scent. Probably there are not anything
like 10, coo.
If were an American, should GER
tainly like to be one of that 10000
Not that / feel the least attraction to a
narrow and fanatic religion. but be-
cause the pilgrim fathers made ga fierce
fight for existence and place where
they could think as they pleased and
allow no one else to think as he might
please. Ancestry, in this country at
least, is chiefly matter of selection.
The people who keep up their geneal-
ogies drop out as they 60 along Eum-
berless branches. People who wish to
recover their genealogies havo got to
Glitch on" at one of the dropped
branches. Every marriage in a geneal-
ogy is kind of junction, where many
lines may meet. Now, the business Of
the genealogist is to look up all the juno
tions, to follow up each one and to
choose the line which offers the most
desirable alliances. Some years ago an
ingenious gentleman offered to find roy
al descent for any one for $40 down.
He did it, too, quite honestly. He said
that if you could only get back 100
years or SO it was perfectly easy to con-
meet with Edward / or Edward III

Did Their Work,

a Chicago novelist, who has recently
been pressed by his publishers for the con-
cludin2 chapters OF story, says The
Times Herald, sent his wife and children
into the country in order to secure a chance
to work undisturbed. The first night he
was alone he settled down to write. Sud
denly the roomers in the fiat below his be-
gan terrible racket. At last, when for
bearance ceased to be a virtue, the author
went into the galway and accosted man
who was carrying an ar1nful of things out
of the lower fiat. "Hellop' he exclaimed.
"What in thunder are you trying to do
down there anyway Don't worry"
replied the fellow on the landing below.
"We're doing the best we cam "'This is
no joke, tell you. l can't do my work
properly so long as you act like this"
"We can't do our work properly either,
answered the mover, with laugh, "un-
less you go back into your room now and
leave us alone" The novelist retired into
his fiat, closed the door and began to
write. A half hour later he was suddenly
aroused by the loud changing of police
patrol wagons bell. A wagon load of blue
coats stopped in front of the building The

glars during the temporary absence of the

A SERIOUS JOKE.

Frank Quinton was a practical chair
maker. Receiving a visit from couple
of old friends, he took them to the theater
and the next morning went to his store,
which was so full of stock that there was
but little office space left in his sales
rooms. A small desk, couple of chairs
and a small, neat lounge, com prtsed its
furniture.
On the morning after their visit to the
theater Frank, without stopping in the
Df1ice, passed hastily into the workrooms to
see that his hands were all employed, and
in distributing his orders he was detained
probably an hour or more. In the mean
time Mrs. Quinton, their residence being
near, having noticed, of course, his late
unusual frivolity and being disturbed in
feeling by his late return the night before,
and now his delay to return to his break
fast, concluded to play the amiablo escort
to her liege lord to his morning repast.
When Frank therefore returned from
the workshop, he encountered his young
wife with slight surprise awaiting him in
his cozy little office. Seated in one of the
chairs, she looked obviously, with no little
feminine sternness, toward the lounge and
then up at Frank, as he stood trying to
smile pleasantly in the doorway.
These first pangs of jealousy were too
much for the before unsuspicious nature
of the happy little wife, and the fawnlike
loving creature, unable longer to maintain
the stern front she had hastily assumed
her feelings now gave way and she cried ::
"Oh, Frank l did not think this of you'll"
"What, Minnie" What has happened?"
he inquired, puzzled by her appearance
and words, not yet having seen the cause.
Again her feelings surged into another
channel, and, dashing her tears aside, she
rose to her feet, and, pointing to II num-
ber of pieces of comb scattered round
and over the lounge, said: "Oh, Frank,
how can you assume such an air of inno-
cenoe, and, standing there, ask me what
has happened? You have had-oh, false
one, this is too much, and this, see here
evidence still more, Frank, of your per-
fdy See, what is this?" the wronged one
exclaimed as she seized from the floor.
near tho head of the lounge, large roll of
hair, nicely arranged and netted, ready to
adorn the well formed caput of any hand
some young lady.
''That?' said Frank slowly, for the first
time attempting IA reply. We'll, really,
my dear, that seems to be an article of
feminine beadgear-an article, Minnie.
Minnie, with which you are better &C
quainted than Ia chignon, or that other
arrangement of beautiful design for female
adornment-I cannot now think of the
name"
"Frank Quinton, this is too much-to
play me false and then make light of it
This human hair, these broken combs,
