Some people are very fond Of telling
a story that has a catch in It, and so
taking their listeners in. Here is a
sample Of what mean:
Once when in Paris, Napoleon paid
Visit to a hospital for old soldiers.
Among the inmates was an old man
who had lost ain arm. The Emperor
asked him:
Where did you lose your armT
AT Austerlitz, sire"
Then, no doubt, you curse the EN-
peror and your country for your fate?"
ION the contrary" said the veteran,
Tor the Emperor and my country 1
would sacrifice my other arm"

CHINESE BORROWING.

Peculiar Habit Which Sometimes

Chinese buffers have a way, when

rowing from the neighbors, At least
this was q very common custom TWEEN
ty-hve years ago, and goods changed
hands, over the garden wall, with as
tonishlng CELEBRITY the buffers, mean
time, keeping a strict account. An
American lady residing in China writes
thus in the Atlantic:
At the first large dinner party to
which was invited went as a bride
i found myself eating with my own
brand-new knives, forks and spoons. /
stared at them very hard; there could
me no mistake, for 1 could see the
fresh monograms.
| was dreadfully distressed, but did
not dare to say anything. When l
reached home l told my husband, rath-
err tremblingly, for l was quite sure
they had been stolen. To my amaze
ment he only laughed, and said:
"Oh, you will get used to that soon,
and when you have too many guests
you will find that, instead of asking
you to get more supplies, the butler
viii Just borrow your neighbors' and
always make up the deficiency"
And so 1t proved. l can well remem-
Der once, when my husband had asked
eight guests in to dinner only half an
hour before the usual time Zone for
each of the delicious spring snipe he
had shot, that there appeared, later,
a splendid roast leg of mutton as one
of our courses.
Now l knew we had no mutton, for
earlier in the day the cook had been
bewalllng the non-arrival of the Shang-
hal steamer, by which it always came.
Turning to the gentleman on my left, I
asked, Did your steamer come from
Shanghai to-dayY
Eyes; why?"
I looked down to the other end of the
table, where my husband was carving
the unexpected treasure-trove with
very evident enjoyment.
"Well, ours did not" said l, "and
yet"
He caught sight of the mutton. "Ohw
he laughed. II suppose that is mine.
No doubt yours will come tomorrow,
and probably be much better; so shall
be the gamer this time, and enjoy it

PLANTS in THE LADRoNEs.
Many Queer Things on the Islands
Men Live without Labor.

Many Queer Things on the Islands
Men Live without Labor.
The queer things In the Ladrones IN
clude a tree the fruit Of which is so OBJ
noxious to the nostrils that a man can
not keep his stomach" and smell it. But
once past the nose 1t is so delicious that
he will eat until too full to walk. This
fruit ripens once a month, and is plenti-
full.
A nut which can be eaten shell and all
is another queer product. The shell Is
brittle like . cracker, sweet and good.
The inside has a kernel which can only
be bitten when the fruit is fresh.
Another fruit is so rare that 1t is used
as a coin.
A very queer mineral product is a
stone which changes color in the at
mosphere. Cold days 1t is black; hot
days 1t is bright red; when rain threat
ems 1t is pinkish, and In cloudy weather
1t is blue. This stone lies on the high
ways, and the pedestrian can forecast
his own weather.
A great yellow flower which opens
and closes to the sun at noon is another
novelty. This flower takes only five
minutes to open and shut; for one min
ute 1t is wide open, showing a white
center with golden heart. 1t opens d.
rectly up to the sun and closes tight
with dropping head. 1t varies not one
minute in the whole lifetime of the
plant. On cloudy days 1t opens, but It's
petals point downward, for the stem
does not rise as on sunny days. This
flower acts as a clock to the natives.
The domestic animal of the Ladrones
is a small bird called a Laughing don
key" 1t laughs like a parrot, but has
projections at the side of its head which
give rise to the name. Another house
hold pet is the Japanese poodle, which
here Is very small and very curly hair
ed. This dog catches its own fish in the
lagoons, and eats fruit from the guava
tree.
The man who owns a farm in the La
drones is a rich man, for he can support
life without labor. Bread fruit trees
grow wild, and with the cocoanuts are
the shade trees of the islands. A grove
of bread fruit trees to a Ladrone island
ct is what a herd Of Western cattle is
to ranchman. Fruit grows all the year
round, and every quality of queer edi-
BILE tropical fruit is found there. Rice.
corn, indigo, castor oil, guavas and
bread fruit are exceedingly plentiful.
while sugar cane, cotton, tobacco and
castor beans grow without planting.
They are natural to the soil, and spring
up in such quantities as to be regarded
as weeds.
A very valuable possession which I'm
Gle Sam will use is the palm grove,
which extends in a belt across all the
islands. This palm grove consists of
palm trees which rise side by side so
close together that you can hardly. ex.
cept for the slenderness Of the trunks
of the trees, penetrate into the depths
of the palm forest. They grow vegeta-
BILE ivory, which in commerce is as good
as the elephant tusk. This ivory can be
used in all cases that do not call for
great durability, and for ornaments. II
cannot be surpa ssed.-Richmond Times.

Family Influence.

They are telling a good story against
the Boston child, which may be a chest
nut for aught one knows; but if it has
been going the rounds, l have not met
1t until the other day. 1t seems a Bos-
ton mamma was instructing her little
daughter how to behave when she went
to luncheon at the bishops house.
Now dear, when the butler hands you
something the first time, take a little
on your plate. When he comes the sec
ond time, you may help yourself to a lit
lie more; but the third time you must
say No. thank you, just as you always
do at home So the little Boston child
went to the bishops house to lunch,
and came home much delighted with
her visit Did you do just as l told
YOU darlingY inquired mamma anx-
iously. Yes, l did" was the reply. II
took something very nice when 1t was
handed to me the first time, and then,
when the butler came again. took a
little more, but the third time l said:
NO thank you But when he came the
fourth time, you hadn't told me what to
DO so l just thought of papa, and said:
NO. d-n you! boston Herald.

LOVE MAKES HOME.


Feathers and moss and wisp Of hay.
"a wonder" we say, and the wonder
grows.
Pressed round by soft, plump breast,
With a leaf looped low 'gainst rainy
day
So the bird has fashioned her nest.
As we study the curious thing,
Twas love In the heart,
That prompted the art
And sped the untiring wing.
Feathers and moss and wisp Of hay,
But the future looks rosy and bright;
With bit put by for a rainy day,
Love makes every burden light.
"A WONDER" we say, and the wonder
grows,
Or sunshine or storms may come,
Though but twigs and moss
Are lntticed across,
The love in the heart makes home.

One OF the results Of the late war be
tween the United States and Spain will
most likely be the abolition OF that
form Of naval piracy which finds It's
justification In prize courts In the
military service Of the civilized world
the principle Of lootlng conquered terri
tory has long since been abandoned.
Yet, through that strange contradiction
which has not reformed the navy In
the same ratio in which the army has
been brought under clvllzlng inhu-

sells carrying contraband goods fall a
prey, but valuation on the warshlps
destroyed Is bound to go to officers and

Admiral Sampson as an Inventor.
The following story Is told Of Ad-
miral SIMPSONS inventive genius. 1t
was IN the early days of the new navy
when the incident occurred The Ad-
mral was at the time a lieutenant, and
was in command Of a small sailing yes
sci. For many years he had worked on
a kind of thermometer, or wind gauge.
II was his hobby, and was nearer and
dearer to him than all else in the world.
Finally it was complete, and one day 1t
stood on the roof of the cabin, that pro-
truded for some distance above the
deck. The little boat was rocking idly
to and fro in a calm. Lieut.. Sampson
was below enjoying a siesta. Suddenly
a gust OF wind rippled the water; the
mainsail boom swung violently across
the deck. Smash and over into the
fathomless deep went that precious
thermometer
