His Own Uncle.

A few days ago a young medical stu
dent came suddenly face to face with
dear, kind, old, fatherly looking gentle
man of highly respectable appearance.
They both stood transtixed. The Same
idea flashed across both of them.
Your face is familiar to me-very
familiar, but l can't remember where
we have met SO often. "
However, the friendly impulse was
carried out. They shook hands warmly,
partook of a friendly glass and departed,
still ignorant of each others name and
occupation.
But the young man was determined
to solve the problem, and he seized ON u
waiter.
"Who is that distinguished stranger
with the long white hair?"
And the waiter whispered slowly;
IF you please, sir, that's the pawn
broker. London Answers

Tetricus, the barbarian, was tho first

conquest. To make the captive appear as
ridiculous as possible he was arraycd i'm q

Marriage In England.

Englishmen now, it is said. are emu
lating the French in the absolute disin-
clination to marry. When they do de-
eide to take this important step, they
now frequently insist upon that dot
which is part of the French idea of q
successful and convenable marriage.
The real fact of the matter is that the or
binary modern Englishman has no desire
to disturb his bachelor estate If he has
no title, no special wealth, no great his
toric name to hand down to posterity,
single blessedness is good enough for
him. This state of mind is attributed
by many to the growing independence
of women. Possibly this is true, prob
ably it is not. Mercenary spirits boldly
assert that marriages in England will,
on the whole, never BE- suCc =. IL until
women bring dots TO their husbands,
since gold inspires respect if Lot love.
Marriage on a strictly business basis is
evidently the future for all English wo-
men to look forward to.-San Francisco

The impression il general that Mis-
souri, river water is dirty-that the big
river flows about two parts of dirt and
one of nud-but the impression is ere
neous, for the Missouri rivers water il
purer than tho water of any great river
in the country, the Platte alone except
cd. 1t is true that when buoketful of
it is dipped up it appears to be dirty.
but il the water il left until it settles 1t
will be found that the sediment at the
bottom is fine, dark oolored sand and
not mud. The Missouri rivers water is
never muddy, save during the spring

Colonel Bill Switzler of Boonville.
Mo-, declares that tho general idea that
Missouri means "big muddy" or mud
dy water. is wrong. He says, and Col
onel Bill Switzlsr is an authority, that
it means wooden canoe" The name,
he says, belongs to the Illinois dialect
of the Algonquin Indians. The name
Missuris or Missouri was applied by the
Indians of the upper lake region to the
tribe Of Indians living west OF the Mis-
sissippi river, because the latter used
wooden canoes instead of birch bark
canoes.
Wooden canoes had to be used on the
Missouri river because it was too turbu-
lent for the frail birch bark canoes, and
in this way the big river secured its
name. But no matter whether Missouri
means muddy water" OF wooden
canoe" the fact remains that Missouri
river water is not muddy. 1t does not
flow through mud, but through fine
sand. The Mississippi river water is 100
per cent dirtier than the Missouri, but
poets have raved about the beautiful
blue of the Father Of Waters.

Corkg Was q CorkOr.

Superintendent Murphy, who takes
fatherly interest in the machinery OF
the fire department, was gossiping with
the chief on expert firemen. Mr.. Muir
phys acquaintance with firemen is a
wide one, and he has had excellent op-
portunity for acquiring great deal OF
knowledge about them.
"Why, chief" said he, "they had a
fireman in the Kansas City department
who could balance 80 foot ladder, run
up it, draw it up after him, and then
run up it again"
The chief didn't smile.
"That may be considered clever in
Kansas City," he said, "but it wouldn' t
draw second look in Cleveland. Years
ago we used to have man in the de-
partment who never made use Of the
ladders at all. When he wanted to go
up to the fifth story of burning build
ing, he would simply jump into the
streasa from the nearest nozzle and let
it carry him up. When he wanted to
come down, he'd watch his opportunity
and catch hold of the stream again and
slide to the ground He was the lightest
man ever saw-we always called him

TennysOn's Slip.

LORD Tennyson is in his Life" (vol-
ume 2, page IA reported to have said:
81 never put two SIS together in any
verse of mine. My line is not, as often
quoted
"And freedom broadens slowly down.
but:
Sand freedom slowly broadens down."
On reading this opened my Tennyson
casually, and the first piece l saw was
"Sir Launcelot and Queen Guinevere,
which contains four instances of the
double s-namely:
Sometimes the linnet piped his song.
She seemed a part Of Joyous spring.
AS she fled.
AS she swayed.
The next piece is 1.-THE Farewell,
which has the line:
No more by thee my steps shall be.
The next piece is 1.-The Beggar Maid, 4"
which has the consecutive lines:
As shines the moon in clouded skies,
She in her poor attire was seen.
Thinking that perhaps Lord Tennyson
referred to his blank verse, turned to
the Dedication Of the Idylls," in
which find these two lines:
Or how should England, dreaming Of his soma.
and
Till Gods love set thee at his side again.

European Economies.

To an American, accustomed tc the
loose methods and wasteful habits Of
her country and people, there are few
things more interesting and genuinely
amazing than the thrift, the economies,
the ways of European households. Mrs.
c., we will say, has taken furnished
house in London. She considers herself
a good manager at home. She is deter
mined not to be cheated abroad. She
gets up in the morning, and, finding the
day chilly, she decides to order coal and
kindling. She gives an order according
ly that makes her coal merchant lout
low and smile with brown sugared
sweetness, while her cook stares, and,
if she be an honest woman, cries out ::
"All that, mem? Wherever shall we
put 'em? Whatever shall we do with
'em?' She fears that she has made a
mistake, having plenty Of American
cleverness and adaptability. She re-
sends half the order. The tradesman' S
face is q study now. His expression
changes wonderfully, and so does his
manner. The barometer has stood at
"servile" and "obsequious. F" 1t drops
to "civil disgust" toward her, while he
filings a look of hatred at cook as he
leaves the room, which being interpreted
means: "You fool, you miserable mar.

A modest appearing young woman
entered drug store on Madison avenue
one morning recently, and, walking to
the end of the counter nearest the pre-
scription department., mutely held out
both hands toward clerk who CHANGED
to be standing in that particular place.
The clerk, equally mute, reached be-
hind screen and brought out blue
glass bottle, from which brush ham
die protruded. After stirring the con-
tents of the bottle with the brush for q
few seconds the clerk daintily brushed
the tips of the young woman's fingers
with the mixture, leaving dark stain
around the top of each finger nail. With
pleasant nod of her head and low
murmuring thanks the young woman
quickly withdrew from the store and
the blue glass bottle was put back in its
hiding place.
Observing puzzled expression on the
face of an old patron of the store who
had come in TO get cigar, the clerk
said, Iodine. "
