He Wasn't Proud.

The London Telegraph says that
while certain bishop was waiting fer
a train at Waterloo station, porter,
who often sees him into compartment
and shuts the door, in order that his
lordship may be alone, came up to him
in a state Of excitement and asked:
"Your reverence, do you see that
gentleman standing in the doorway
over there?''
Eyes, answered the bishop.
''Do you know who it is?' continued
the porter,
'No,' said his lordship.
The railway man then whispered:
"It's the Coffee Cooler, your rever-
ence. Oh, he amt proud! He'll shake
hands with your reverence if you like. y
The "CoTee Cooler" is noted col.
ored prizefghter.

To prevent an ingrowing nail strip
Of cotton should be worked between the
nail and the flesh, left large enough to
cover the entire nail. A piece Of cotton
is then twisted into long roll and
placed on the other side of the nail
groove over the sound skin. The space
between is filed with lead nitrate,
heaped up, and the larger piece Of cot
ton folded over it, with more cotton
outside, held in place with a moist
bandage. This dressing is renewed ev-
cry day, and in two Or three the exu,
berance is reduced until the edge of the
nail can be seen, and cotton inserted
between it and the flesh beneath, when
the nitrate can be discontinued.

THISTLE DOWNS.

Lighter and whittier than q flying flake
OF winter SHOWS through wan air winnowing,
The thistle downs their sudden journeys take
Ger meadows wide in vagrant wandering. e
No more shall they to earth reluctant cling
As moss lined and slowly sinking stone
Left lying in an outer waste alone.
Beside the edge of some remote morass,
But high they toss above the fields new ,nown,
Like disembcdied spirits of the grass.
The drowsy atmosphere in lines opaque
Leans to the sun, that fast is gathering
The la.tt faint dews, his fiery thirst to slack,
While swallows dip, on ever restless wing
Across dusty road the robins sing,
And bumblebees upon the clover drone,
While thistle downs in airy spaces lone
Along the skies in happy freedom pass,
Voyaging afar to mystic chimes unknown,
Like disembodied spirits of the grass.

Before a Mirror.
''Of course everything about the fire
department interests us always, said
Mr.. Glimby, ''but there is one little
thing in particular that I've seen I
suppose hundreds Of times that appeals
to me more every time I see it, and that
is the fire-i,cn getting into their coats

of a rack Of ladders going through the

The good wife looked at her mending

them there she wouldn't have believed
her husband could have worn holes in
SO many pairs Of socks in SO short a
time.

ieve that it woald be good thing for
q man to be a Mormon"

Diplomacy.

One day a gentleman was holding a
conversation with his wife in the pres
ence of their 5-year-old son, and among
other things mentioned was "diploma-
cy.'
"Pa,' said the youngster when a
break in the conversation allowed him
to interfere, ''what does diplomacy
mean?'
Diplomacy, my son, said the IA
Their, ''is this-doing exactly the right
thing at exactly the right moment.
"Then ] suppose I used diplomacy
when 7 got out Of the pantry yesterday,
dad, did II"
"What df: you mean?'' was the reply.
"Why," said the son, II got into the
back yard with that meat pie just al
the moment ma caught the cat in the
pantry and told you to drown her fol-
thieving. Pearson Weekly.

TRICKS OF A MIND READER
The Simple Explanation of an AD-
parently Difficult Feat.

The Simple Explanation of an APP
parently Difficult Feat.
"Speaking of telegraphy, = said a gen
tleman who takes an interest in occult
studies, s'reminds of an incident which
created a great stir some years ago, but
is now about forgotten. A New York
lawyer, who claimed to be able to pro-
ject thought, had committee of skep-
tics select playing card at random and
asking him to think of a card and tele-
graph back what one came into his
mind. The card selected was the five of
spades and the reply was correct. All
the parties were well known, and the
experiment caused an immense sensa-
ton.
"The newspapers discussed it by the
column, and it was exploited as posi-
tive demonstration of thought transfer
ence but as a matter Of fact the whole
thing was merely clever trick. I had
it afterward explained to me by one of
the people on the inside. It had been
prearranged with the San Francisco
to be the wording Of the message. The
denomination was indicated by the
number of words in the second sentence.
If, for instance, it was an ace, the SEN
tence would be only one word, Answer;
if a deuce it would be Answer immedi-
ately, and so on.
GAS it happened to be a five the mes
sage ran. Telegraph reply quickly as
possible. The suit Of the card was re-
vealed by the signature Signing the
name in full meant hearts, the first only
meant clubs, the last name meant
spades, and the initials meant diamonds.
The system was beautifully simple, and
the message seemed on its face perfect
ly innocent. 1t was carefully examined
to find hidden word but baffled the
Investigators. AS far as I know, the
truth about the affair has never been
printed. New Orleans Times-Demo-

In 1866 the great fire in London
burned over 1856 acres, destroying at
least s35, 900, 900 worth Of property. In
1872 the Boston fire burned over 80
acres, at loss of 81, 100000 an acre.
IF the same fire occurred today, it
would cost, at the very lowest estimate,
500, 100000. In 1898 the loss on the
az acres burned over was over $3.50, :
