Drawing "a Line.

A young Virginian in frocks had been
scolded by his grandfather for taking pre-
serves from the dining room closet with
out permission. The old lady, with much
impressiveness of tone, told the little fell
low that it was wicked to take things
without asking for them, ard that al
though he might have thought there was
nobody near him when he took the pre-
serves God was really watching him and
keeping an account Of his actions. The
boy looked solemn and made no comment
ON the lecture. Later his mother saw him
standing near the back porch in an atti-
tude denoting meditation. The household
dog, a big Newfoundland, was romping
near him. He was not in mood to play
and walked away from the dog, which
followed him. He turned, shook chubby
finger at the dog and exclaimed:

He Won the Bet.

Old John Langley, the veteran horse
man, is better known to old Worcester
sporting men than any man living. Stories
of his eccentric career are innumerable.
He often complained Of being done" in
betting AS matter of fact, he did"
his adversares in the sporting world Of
tener than they did him. One day he
called at the store of a tailor and stated in
his usual loud and emphatic way-for his
conversation was always highly favored
with tho tabasco of profanity-that no
wanted pair of brooches. And want
the best stuff in the store, no matter what
the color" The tailor was "a little be-
wildercl, but finally showed Langley the
most costly material in the shop, beau
tiful silky broadcluth. That this was un-
suitable for trousers made no difference to
him Il want it, said be, and l want
it made up wrong side ont" The tailor
expostulatcd in vain, and the trousers
were made and delivered.
a friend called on Langley and re-
marked on the trousers in uncomplimen-
tary language. Langley said nc was salts
fed. More guying resulted in the old man
Offering to bet $50 that the cloth cost moro
a yard than that in his friends trousers.
The bet was taken, and the tailor was to
decide it. He named the price. The friend
would not believe that the rough goods
could be so costly until he was shown the
shiny, silky other side. Then he paid, as
did other mon on similar bets. That was
what the old man had bought the trousers
for.-Worcester Gazette.

BONG BUSINESS IN SIBERIA.
An Enterprising Yankee Who Has Lived
For Many Years Abroad.

4 he story of Enoch Emery's life in 81
IBERIA is full of interest to the whole world.
1t is of peculiar interest to the people of
the cape, as he is native of the county.
He went from Yarmouth boy. His am
bition led him TO the generally uninviting
country of Siberia, the land of suffering,
the dumping ground of Russia's convicts.
Mr. Emery has now resided in Russia
for "a years, where he has established an
extensive general merchandise business,
with headquarters at Moscow. He has
made ii tours Of the world, always via
Siberia, and naturally has had many
thrilling experiences while travelling
through this country. While en- route
from Mini Novgorod to Vladivostok he
has changed his horses as many as 800
times.
He has become greatly interested in
the construction of the railroad across ST.
IBERIA, which he describes as one of tho
greatest projects undertaken. The road,
he says, will probably be completed about
1898 and will result in the rapid develop
ment of the Siberian territory. The line,
when completed, will be 600 miles in
length. It's stirling point is Cheliabinsk,
on the western extremity of Siberia, where
it connects with an English system of
railways running to st. Petersburg by
way of Moscow. About 25, 900 men, most
ly exiled convicts, are being employed in
the construction of the road, which is en-
tirely under the supervision of "a govern
ment commission, of which the cZarowitz
is president ana will of course be operated
under the direction of the government
when completed.
Since Mr.. Emery went to Russia from
this country he has accumulated q large
fortune. His stories of wild sledge rides
by night over the ice and snow and of the
tigers of the Obi and Amur are in the
highest degree interesting. He met George
KEENAN, the first time he went to Russia
and has ever since maintained a close ac-
workmanship Although he is a Cape
Cod Yankee, from his long residence i'll
Siberia he has become throughly Russian
lied. He has a Slavonic accent and dresses
after the style of the Russian. He is a tall,
spare, distinguished looking gentleman,
with flowing beard, parted in the middle.
Mr.. Emery's life and experience are IA
striking example of what the adventurous
ardor of an American can accomplish in
the face of almost insurmountable diff
culties. He says that he has lived so long
in Russia that he at times almost doubts
his identity with the little Yankee boy
who left his New England home so many
years ago.-Provincetown Beacon.

COMMUNITIES IN UNIFORM.
Something About the Social Life at Fort
Meyer and the Navy Yard.

There are two phases of social life at the
national caplto: about which people In
civil life know little or nothing. These
are the army social life at the barracks
Fort Meyer-and the naval circle at the
navy yard. In many respects they are
similar, inasmuch as they constitute lit
tie worlds apart from the general society
OF Washington. The life is free from
struggling jealousies and heart burning
which characterize the outside world.
There is simplicity of life, sociability
and refinement which make an army or
naval station peculiarly attractive. The
hospitality is unbounded People are ex-
pected to live within their means They
know exactly what they are going to get.
and they gauge their expenditures accord
ingly.
1t is more like family than a social
circle The bonds which bind army and
naval men to each other are among the
strongest. There is always a feeling of
comradeship among them all which does
not obtain in civil life. The high stand
ards of character, courtesy and duty re-
quired officially have their effect upon
the social life Men cannot live beyond
their pay, beat their creditors or Islander

book and held to account. The code of
manners and morals, therefore, is higher
than 1t is in most social life and among
commercial people.
There are always q lot of friendly and
informal little entertainments, in which
people are thrown together in a charming
way. free from the conventional buckram
of the grand functions of society. To
young girls the life is particularly attract
i've and charming They have the society
and attention of well bred and well edu-
Gated young fellows, who are always at
their service and never fail to do every
thing in their power to contribute to their
pleasure. The married couples have pref

modern comforts and conveniences and
without the fear of burglars, tramps book
agents and thieving servants. The rela-
tions among the families arc kindly and
neighborly, and in times of sickness and
sorrow sympathy and assistance are
prompt. Washington Post.

Had Faith In Els Father.

The faith which children have in their
parents is not often better illustrated than
by story which was told recently by =
fond relative of an almost precocious boy.
He is about years of age, and his fond
mamma thought that it was about timo
that she impressed upon his infantile
mind some ono Of tho FIRST lessons in
Christianity. This took the form of a
prayer, which she repeated whilo the boy
lisped the words after her. Il happened
by chance that the head of the house was
absent from home, and among the petit
tions for special blessings was this,
please, God bring papa safely home"
With all the dignity which can be crowd
ed into tho being of 3-year-old Robert
stood up and said proudly, MY papa can
come home hissclf." There were no moro
prayers that Enthusiastically Eagle.

The Laundryman.

There is one branch of trade which runs
on in an even tenor regardless OF prices
and crashes. That is the laundry business.
People who patronize laundries never econ
omize on their linen A man will average
about so many shirts, collars and cuffs
week when he is cutting down on his
drinks and cigars and his thcater tickets.
And this observation recalls the fact that
the laundryman never has any innovation
in his business. He will ruin about SO
many shirts and collars and cuffs every
three months and never say word about
it or make any deduction-if you keep
ouiet. Chicago Tribune.

MlSTOOK HIS MAN.
Clothes Are Not Always a Reliable Guide

pay his bill. A new manager came for
ward to receive the cash, and not knowing
his lordship took him for servant. Ho
examined the account and after rcceipting
it slipped a sovereign into the supposed
servants hand, at the same time saying
conlihontially:
"That Is II sovereign for yourself, aud

A POINT IN EVOLUTION.
The Furrow Under the Nose Remark
able Character of the Face.

able Character of the Face.
Below the nose runs a furrow parting
the upper lip In the faces of babies and
children this furrow is very noticeable.
From the evolutionists point OF view 1t
is one of the most remarkable characters
of the face. 1t teEGs to become obsolete
in old age, and it Is not seen among the
Catarhine monkeys Among the l'laty-
rhines it is but fcebly developed but in
Lemurs it is in a moro pronounced state.
There is a depressed septum, to which the
two side pieces are joined. The upper
lip, in fact is nearly split in two, but
held together in u depressed piece of flesh.
In the Marsupialfa and Rodentia the lip
is practically in two pieces, and each piece
is capable Of being moved separately. This
is the "harclip," and its method of use
may we'll he noticed in hare or q rabbit
when eating
The firrow, therefore, in the child's lip
points to this-that our ancestors possess
ed not single upper lip, as we do now,
but two upper lips, one beneath each nos
tril both capable of independent move
mont. in the course of time these two lips
have, owing 10 the nonrequircmcnt of in
dependent movement, grown together To
form the single lip we now possess, but
the line Of junction is not perfect, and SO
the furrow results, and sometimes there is
distinct scar down the middle of the
furrow.
Tho possession of the furrowed upper
lip by children is one of the strongest
pieces of evidence against the descent of
man from any Catarhino and in favor of
his descent from Platyrhines, or from Le-
murs through the Intervention of Platy-
rhinelike ancestors, of which there arc no
exact living representatives. -Ninetcenth

POLITICAL LAW.
The Lawyer Was Weak on rhymes, bue
He Got "A Verdict.


An eccentric Irishman named Broono,
who lived in Queens county and owned
an estate valued at $780, 600, has made
Mr.. Towns one of four heirs, and his
share will be 81 So 600, says an old copy Of
the Troy Times. About ten years ago an
old man entered his Office and requested
an interview.
He stated that he had long been inter
ested in reading Of litigations, and he had
seen the name of Mr.. Towns in the news
papers as "a lawyer who did not take the
law too seriously, SO Broone came TO Mr..
Towns, saying he bad decided TO give him
the first case that lac was interested in,
on condition that he would sum up the
case in rhyme.
The case was that of Mrs Bridget Row
an against John Bedell for damages for
being bitten by dog and drenched with
water from hose To comply with Mr..
Broone's request Mr.. Towns summed up.
the case as desired. After reciting how
Bedell, who
Keeps near the park, oh, sad to tell,
A low resort of vice and sin,
Where he dispenses rum and gin.
Yet, not content with deadly cups.
He keeps two wild, ferocious pups
To Stay those who escape his lair
With deadly hydTophobi-air,
the poet went on to say that Bedell,
Seeing she was but woman,
Set his puppies on Mrs. Rowan,
And as he saw her run with fright,
Trying to save herself by flight,
He shouted, "Bill, before she goes
just play upon her with the hose"
Cursed, assaulted, all but drowned,
Bleeding from the puppies wound,
The plaintiff, gentlemen Of the jury,
AT last escaped this blackguard' 5 fury
And comes in court TO see IL you
Will do as you'd have others do.
These atrocities, the Albany Law Jour
nal says, resulted in q verdict of $57b for
his client. His patron was so pleased that
he gave him another case, in which he
recovered 81, 5S3 against the Long Island
Railroad company on injuries TO wom-
ans knee. This case he summed up ia
rhyme, renarking among other things
deserving death:
The fairost thing on earth to see
Is lovely womans beauteous knee.
