Another Worm.

An inspector was recent examining a
class of girls in natural history, says Scot
fish Nights.
Tell me the name of any animals YOU
know" he began: but the faces of the
children expressed bewilderment ut the re-
quest. AT length, however, a little girl at
the back of the class shot up her hand as
though a bright idea had suddenly struck
her.
.'Ah." said the Inspector. THE smallest
girl in the class knows. Well, my dear,
what is it,"
"A worm came the triumphant answer.
"Well-er-yes, Il worm Is really an ami
mai, but can no one think of any other?"
Again profound silence reigned.
IF l were one of you big girls" the in
spector remarked, after a pause, on seeing
ashamed of myself"
Then turning to the little scholar, as a
last resort. he said:
well. what is it this time. my girl?'

his wife,, stuffed 1t into his hat. That
evening when he went home he mechan-
ically chucked it into his wife's lap, think
ing that 1t was a letter from some of the
kinsfolk over at Cuthbert.
The surprised wife. who had waited all
day for some sort Of response, saw that
her letter had been returned to her
stamped, postmarked and unopened. What
could it mean? Could 1t be possible that
her husband had returned her tender mis-
sive on the anniversary of their wedding to
her unopened?
When she finally managed to call atten-
ton to the fact that the letter was adj
a hint about II being the anniversary Of
their marriage, she soon had him at her
feet. He realized how stupid he had been

KEEPS AN EFFIGY OF THE DEAD.
This Image. by the Window ind
Talks to 1t as Though Alive.

Mary Hines, an aged recluse living at
Trenton, n. j., keeps an efiigy of her dead
daughter in the house and treats it as If
the breath of life were in it. The daughter,
Maggie. who was a beautiful girl, died sew
eral years ago.
Recently a neiShbor who had known the
girl noticed a figure sitting near the win
dow in the Hines house, dressed in Mag
gie's clothes. On the other side of the
window sat Mrs. Hines, talking earnestly
to the figure. The curiosity of the neigh
bors was aroused and an investigation
made. No one had been permitted to enter
the house. but from observations made
through the windows 1t has been learned
that the old woman has stuffed her dead
daughters clothes with rags until they APP
pear sometimes like Il human figure.
1t is in fact a huge doll to which the
mother now talks. The effigy does not sit
at the window every day, but several times
a week 1t is there, with the doting mother
sitting nearby.

YOUTH COMES AGAIN.
WOman's Gray Hair to BE Turned
Black and Wrinkles Dis
QODear.

Limestone county. Ala. has an interest
ing phenomenon. says the Atlanta Consti-
tuition. Mrs. Polly Emry. aged 81 years. a
white woman of a highly respectable fam
lily. appears to have fallen heir to another
m~aidenhood. For a quarter of a century
she has been an old woman. with white
hair and no teeth, and the weight of years
was apparent in her .wrinkled face and
enfeebled movements. Twenty-seven years
ago her Oldest brother. who was a dentist.
extracted every tooth from her mouth.
About a year ago her health commenced
to materially, improve, her figure became
ments more elastic. Her hair also became
perceptibly darker. Her gums commenced
to swell and finally new teeth appeared.
The change in u year is said to be astonish-
ing. Her hair is now black. She has a
new and substantial set Of teeth as white
and strong as a maiden's. Her vitality is
greatly increased; her strength has re-
turned, and her appearance is said to sug-
gest her age at 40 instead of more than
twice that number of years. She is a
woman of refinement and of admirable
qualities. and her apparent new lease on
life is a subject of sincere congratulation
among her neighbors.

anniversary. The more thoughtful wife
was not unmindful of the fact that the
important anniversary was at hand. Dur
ing the morning she wrote a letter to her
husband and sent II down to the bank by
the driver. The letter was a reminder to
the husband that the ~twenty-second an
niversary of their marriage had been
reached. The letter. sealed in a square
envelope and addressed to Mr.. Davis. was
handed to him Without examining the
address. the busy man for whom the let
ter was intended jumped at the conclusion
that II was Il letter his wife had sent down
to be mailed, and so he stuck a postage
stamp on it. chucked il into the mali box
and thought no more of 1t. That afternoon
