day at home," says u writer in the Boston

tea in delightful fashion to his many
friends. AS he greeted some of his friends

The Representative of Death.

A Vienna paper relates an amusing in
cident which happened to a great lady just
recovered from a long and severe illness
Seated in her boudoir, she was looking
over the cards of coincidence that had been
left with her.
Among the name of counts, barons and
other aristocratic sympathizers, emilia
zoned with coronets and coat of arms, she
came upon the plain card with the simple
inscription of Herman Berger" In vain
the lady asked who Herman Berger was
The servants could not give her any in
formation than that the individual had
been remarkably handsome young man.
The lady's curiosity was excited, and
she gave orders to admit the person in case
he should call again. The order was
punctually obeyed, and on the next day
she received really charming young mar
dressed in exquisite style, who evident

1t is true that 1 have the $500, 900, but
intend to keep 1t. l have not been treated
right, and must take this course to get
my DESERTS"
A long argument followed, which was
referred to the board of directors, which
was hastily called together. The teller
was ordered before their majesties. He
admitted all that the cashier had said Of
him and added:
"Gentlemen, 1 am serious. / have tho
$500, 900 safe. You may do what you
please. If you take the matter to the
courts, the most l can get Is ten years. 1

One of the directors. an old, gray haired
fellow who was president of the insurance
company, said;

Ref,nements Of Measurements.

Refinements of measurements have gone
to almost incredible limits. On lenses
curvature of one one-hundred- and fifty
thousandth Of an inch can be measured.
In spectrosoopic analysis Of mere traces OF
different elements fractional wave lengths
are read to one two thousand fve-h hundred
millionth of an inch. Professor Dewar,
in his researches on liquid air, attained a
vacuum of one two-thousand-fiv
millionth of an atmosphere by filling a
vessel with mercurial vapor and exposing
it to very low temperature, and Professor
Boys with the simplest possible arrange
ment of quartz fiber, torsional balance and
mirror, claims to have been able to just
detect an attractive force Of the one tw an
ty-thousand- millionth of grain. So
much for the minute weights and meas
ures, and, as regards angles, the Darwin
pendulum will indicate movement OF one
three hundredth of second, which would
be about the angular measurement OF a
penny piece at distance of 200 miles.
1t is difficult to realize the minuteness OF
measurements like the preceding. The
smallest gold coin of the realm IL drawn
out into wire one two-hundred-a fifty
millionth of an inch in diameter, would
be long enough to stretch to the sun and
back again 10000 times, and yet the fan
damental mystery of the constitution OF
atoms and molecules would be locked up
in every infinitesimal portion of the length

When CARLYLE Left Craigenputtock.

With much hesitation and reluctance
Carlyle came to London. His motive and
reasons may be found set forth with am.
pie fullness in his letters and "Reminis-
cences." Over all these lies the persistent
determination not to be of London-to be-
in it, but not part of it. The effect is pic
turesque and full of fine moral contrasts,
but London was greater than he. True,
she wanted him, but he must come to her,
not she to him. The prophetic strains
sent forth from the seclusion of Craigen
puttock fell family on small audience.
Issuing from London they struck the ear
of the universe. Nowhere have the senti-
ments of the conner to London been set
forth with such accuracy and insight is in
many passages scattered over Carlyle's
letters.
In seeking merely to describe the house
near the New river, in Upper Clerken-
we'll, where he visited Irving, he depicts
the very atmosphere and character of the
neighborhood. An hour in Kensington
gardens gives rise to subtle picture OF
the place. He saw London with the poet 8
eye, looking beneath the obvious and real
izing the wondrous life and movement
forever in action. He called London u
modern Babylon, a turgid stream of igno-
BILE life and many other hard names. That
was the protest of u proud mind which
held itself aloof. But still she drew him.
He came, remained and was of her. With
lavish liberality she has laid Chelsea at
his feet as an Offering to his memory for
all time Ecclefechan possesses his NOR
tai remains, but these she does not grudge,

BETRAYED BY PLUM PUDDING.
A burglar Who Forgot Business In Sigh
of One and Was Caught.

of One and Was Caught.
The English are proud of their watch
dogs, and il is known that many farmers
rely upon the cackle of their guinea hens
for the protection of their hen roosts; but
in addition to ali that, England has just
afforded an example of the safeguarding
qualities OF plum pudding. This unexpeot
ed demonstration took place in a house on
the Portsdown road, in the Mazda Vale
quarter of London, belonging to MIR. Pres
ton, surgeon in the navy.
At about $3.50 o'clock in the evening
burglar got into the house through the
cellar by breaking the lock of the kitchen
door. This burglar was George Donovan.
He knew that the house was empty. The
family were at the theater, and tho serv-
ants took advantage of their absence to go
ON a vacation for few hours. Favored by
these circumstances Donovan had little
trouble in reaching the dining room.
There an enchanting spectacle was pre-
sented to his eyes. A Hindoo poet tells us
the story of the brigand of Delhi who, at
the moment when he was about to cut a
hole in the wall of house to get in and
commit a robbery, hesitated whether he
would cut it in the form OF a Tyre or of a
flower or of bird. George Donovan was
not absorbed by any such artistic preoccu-
patton. He noticed upon the table a splen-
did plum pudding, something that no
hadn't tasted for long time. So he sat
down in front of the national dish, cut a
huge slice of it, and sailed in. The pud-
ding was delicious. Like Raggles, Dono-
van struck it rich. He cut slice after slice,
but unfortunately for him n plum pud-
ding is not possessed of the light quality
that belongs to French pastry. Soon the
burglar got thirsty, and in his search for
something to drink he discovered bottle
of Scotch whisky, his favorite beverage.
He remained ut tho table enjoying himself
thoroughly for about an hour. Soon he be-
came oblivious of his professional duties
In fact, he didn't know where he was; so
he threw himself on the luxurious carpet,
and went to sleep with an unruffled con-
science. At about midnight no was found
there, and was reused up by policeman
who had been called in. He admitted with
out hesitation his object, but he was loud
in his praise of that pudding. Addressing
Surgeon Preston, he said he would like to
know if that pudding was made in the
house or in some confectionery establish
ment, because, no said, he never before
had tasted anything so delicious and o
wanted to taste it again. He was taken be-
fore police justice of Marylebone, who
committed him for trial.
"All right, judge he said, "but, all
the same that was fine pudding and
first rate whisky"
Judge Plowden, who Is somewhat of q
humorist, made funny speech, clarifying
the English plum pudding, which, as he
said, not only Furnishes the imprudeDt
with indigestion, but also, as this case
plainly showed, protects tho dreside and
knocks out burglars. Letter.

Reproachful Politeness.

The Frenchman's politeness sometimes
serves him in good stead to point rebuke.
A Frenchman who was staying at hotel
in Edinburgh asked at the cashiers desk
how much his bill was, and was astonish-
ed to find how great an amount no had
been charged.
He felt that he had been plundered, but
he paid tho bill and then asked to see the
proprietor. Presently the landlord came
down in response to the call, all beaming
with smiles. The Frenchman rushed up
to him, exclaiming:
"Ah. let me embrace you'll Let mo KEGS

Uniform Spelling.

A discussion having been raised In the
columns of The Times as to the correct
smelling of certain words, DIR. Il. A. ABB
bott expressed strong opposition to rigid
official photography, saying, "Is 1t not time
that we should give up this wastefuL ar
bitrary and often erroneous attempt at uni

opinion, asserting that the process OF COM
pelling uniform photography Is strife
against nature Language Is product OF
life, and 1t shares the incidents of life. or
which none is more pervading than abhor-
renee of nxity. "The way to slow but
natural reform is to relinquish coercion
and let all men spell as they like, trusting
that the natural process Of the survival OF
