The Grief of Parting.

The man leaned right into the rail-
way carriage. There was positive an
guish in his drawn face. The lady in
side was very pretty and beautifully
dressed. Her softnesses of complexion
and hair, Of lace and flmy material,
triumphed in the searching glare of the
electric light, which showed the rich
luxury of every detail of her costume.
She smiled with a pretty. regretful
tenderness as she replied lightly to his
earnest works. He looked at her as it
he could never look long enough, as if
her face held for him the whole mean
ing of life. AS the train began to move.
his fingers fell passionately on the un-
gloved hand resting on the window
ledge; then in%stinctively he sprang
back, raised his hat. and I caught in
full light a glimpse of his white face.
Directly the train steamed out of the
station the lady rose, carefully rolled up
her veil, and. quite Indifferent to my
presence, proceeded before the mirror in
the carriage to dust her face with a
dainty pocket handkerchief, and to ap-
ply to forehead and nose the minutest
layer of powder with a tiny puff. She
patted and arranged her curls, drawing
them with a hairpin into coquettish po-
sition and curve, and then, lowering her
veil, she sank into the seat with a sigh
of satisfaction. Academy.

The Dead IriAhlman.

Some Irish body snatchers had rified
a grave and hid their booty in a corner
of the churchyard. when it occurred to
a half tipsy fellow, who had been watch
ing them unobserved, that it would be
p%leasanter to be driven back to the near
est town than to walk. He accordingly
secreted the dead man under a hedge
and lay down in his place. He was duly
transferred to a cart. but. when about
half the journey was over n of the
men who had touched his hand scream
ed to his friend. "Good heavens. the
body is warmI'

why You Yawn.

Have you ever observed at a theater
or concert that the people who are most
deeply interested appear between the
acts to be quite weary of the whole
thing. yawning half a dozen times in
succession7 The reason of this is a
physiological one. When your attention
is much absorbed in anything exciting
or touching, you breathe in a very shall
low name and take into your lungs
only half enough air. Consequently,
when your attention is relaxed. you
have to make up the deficiency. This
you do by yawning, which, after all. is
only breathing a very deep breath.
If you watch a man at a play and
observe that he is greatly moved by
some incident, you may feel sure that
when the scene ends he will sigh and a
moment or two later yawn repeatedly.
Of course the yawning, so far from be-
ing a sign Of WEAKNESS, is a proof of
the liveliest appreciation.
Very often you will observe the same
phenomenon in a girl reading a novel.
And by her yawns you can tell when
the end of some absorbing incident is
reached. Cincinnati Enquirer.

BATTuE WITH SHARKS.
A Desperate Encounter In Whic!
Two Man Eaters Were Slain.

A In men
Two Man Eaters Were Slain.
Probably the most desperate fight
which has ever been witnessed between
a couple Of sharks and a human being
took place at Havana some time ago.
Several fruit peddlers had boarded a
large mailboat, and among them was
a swarthy. bare legged young chap noted
among his comrades as a clever swim
mer. The purser of the vessel was stand
ing by the gangway, holding his child
in his arms, watching a couple of sharks
that were hanging about the ship. Ac-
cidentally the 4lild fell out of it's ia
theirs grasp into the water. The father
immediately jumped overheard and
seized his child, and in a moment the
sharks were making for the pair.
Seeing the predicament, the bare leg
ged young buccaneer dropped his fruit
basket and went over the rail like a
flash.
AS the first shark turned on its back
the invariable prelude to biting its
victim-the young fruit seller rose to
the surface. and, with a long, keen
edged knife, fairly disemboweled it.
The other was not nearly so easily
disposed of. The shark seemed to real
ize that in the fruit seller he had a
dangerous foe and apparently spared
for an opening. Several men on board
the vessel blazed away at the monster
with %revolvers, but the young fellow
begged the men to desist, being un-
nerved by the firing. Fish and man
dived alternately, and when the fish did
make for it's foe the plucky boy dived
Az plunged the knife in it's side.
The water was crimson with blood
when the three were hauled safe and
sound to the deck of the vessel, and a
handsome sum of money was collected
for the victor.

HE BREADS A RAZOR.

And He Has Good . to After
His Narrow Escape.
".There is a physician now stopping
at this house, remarked the proprietor
Of one of the hotel barber shops. "who
has a mortal dread of a razor in the
hands of another. It originated in a re-
markable experience. Some years ago
he was in a town in Iowa and stepped
into a barber shop to get shaved. All
the chairs were filled, so he sat down to
wait. In a few minutes n of the bar
bers called Next and he was getting
up when a gentleman who had just an
tered addressed him.
SCI am in a great hurry to catch a
train he said, and would be very
grateful if you would allow me to take
the chair ahead of you
"Such requests are not unusual, and
the doctor, who is naturally obliging.
told him to go ahead and resumed his
seat. The other man had hardly climbed
into position when the barber picked
up a razor and cut his throat from cal
to ear, killing him instantaneously.
sin spite of stories to the contrary,
think that is the only case of the kind
that ever happened in the United
States. The barber turned out to be in
sane, but the horror of the scene and
the almost miraculous character of his
own escape made such an impression
on the mind of the doctor that he has
never since allowed anybody to shave
him.
"Only this morning 1 trimmed his
hair. and in finishing the job 1 started,
as is customary, to shape up the growth
of his temples with the corner of my
razor. The momentAle caught sight OF
the blade he turned pale al death.

Some Of the PeculiaritirS of This
Mysterious Substance.
Asbestus is a physical paradox. yet
one of natures most marvellous produc-
tions. It has been called a meteorological
vegetable; it is both fibrous and crys-
talline. elastic, yet 1rittG; a floating
stone, which can be readily carded,
spun and woven into tissue. In Ger
many it is known as steinfachs (stone
fax, and the miners of Quebec give it
quite as expressive a name-pierre cotton
Cotton stone) The asbestus mines Of
Quebec are the most famous in the
world, yielding IS per cent of the en-
tire output, Italy being the only com
peting country, and there the industry
is declining. Although Charlemagne>is
said to have had a tablecloth of asbestus,
which he cleansed by throwing into the
fire, it was practically unknown until
1850.
The italian mineral was then expert
mented with and some years later put
on the market. In 1878 the first Cana
dian mine was opened, and the product
steadily increased until 1890, when
1880 tons, worth $1,260, 600, were
mined. There has since been 4 decline
in value. the amount for 1896 being
10, 200, worth only $430, 600. Asbestus
is flexible, noncombustible and a non
conductor of heat and electricity, and
on these properties its increasing use
depends. 1t is spun into yarn. from
which cloth is woven for drop curtains
in theaters. clothing for firemen, acid
workers, etc. 1t is made into lamp
wicks and gloves for stokers and ropes
for fire escapes. It is felted into mill
board to be used as an insulator in dy-
namos and as a fireproof lining for
floors. 1t is used to insulate electric
wires and as a covering to prevent loss
of heat from steam pipes. Mixed with
rubber it is used to pack steam joints.

A FAMOUS PLATE.
The First Engraving Was Printed
ON a Laundress' Bundle.

ON a Lnundress' Bundle.
Two groups of tourists were standing
in the Pitt palace before the large plate
of pure silver upon which Firiguerra,
the great master of early engraving,
had depicted his lovely Madonna and
Child in a trellised arbor covered with
roses. An Italian lady was telling her
friends in an undertone the charming
anecdote of Finiguerra and the laun-
dress.
The artist, it seems. in mastering the
new and difficult art of engraving upon
metal. had acquired a %singularly keen
eye and delicate touch, and he also pos
sessed a number of very fine and sharp
instruments. which he used in his
work.
Being a kindly man he sometimes
placed both his sure hand and his fine
tools at the service of his friends and
neighbors in performing for them some
Of the simpler operations of surgery.
until he acquired quite a reputation for
his skill in doctoring their hurts.
One day a poor laundress who had
been washing clothes, in wringing out
a garment in which a needle had been
carelessly left, ran it deeply into her
hand. Worse yet, it broke off in the
wound and a part remained imbedded
in the flesh. She was in much pain,
and on her way back from the stream
where she had been washing she stop.
ped at the house of the artist and was
admitted.
Entering his studio she hastily set
down her wet and heavy bundle and
held out the injured hand, begging his
assistance. Finiguerra left his work tc
help her, and after long and DELICATE
manipulation extracted the broken nee
die. The woman thanked him and
turned to go, lifting her bundle from
its resting place.
Then he saw that she had set it UPON
n of his e~ngravings. Like all Others
at that time, it was a plate of engraved
metal, complete in itself. and regarded
as a single and sufficient picture, exact,
ly as if it had been a painting.
But as the damp bundle was raised
the quick eye of Finiguerra saw that il
had received an impression from the
engraved picture beneath, and his quick
mind seized at once the suggestion Of
the possibility Of indefinite reproduc'
ton from a single original. So that
from the kindness of a great artist to
poor washerwoman sprang the discov'
cry which has placed the beautiful:

HOW Did Jim Know?

For several years my early morning
walk lay through the first block of
West Fifty seventh street, where I l used
regularly to meet a milkman delivering
milk. He would take from his wagon a
rack containing several bottles and GO
from house to house. while his old gray
horse walked sedately on alone.
One morning as I was passing the
pair midway the block the man said to
his horse:
$50 on, Jim, and turn at No. T."

Chair Repaired.
1t is stated that one morning recent
ly a young fellow who had just secured
a clerkship in a government office was
considerably startled by a little scene
that he witnessed. An elderly man, one
of the senior clerks in the room, sud
denly rose from his desk, dragged the
comfortable chair on which he had
been sitting into the middle Of the
room, seized a poker and attacking the
chair with great vigor succeeded in
breaking one of it's legs. When it was
done, the official gave a sigh Of relief
and flung the chair into a corner Of the
room The budding JUNIOR first thought
was that his senior had suddenly taken
leave of his Senses, and he almost ex-
pected that his colleagues would put
him under restraint. But to his aston
ishment the other clerks hardly raised
their eyes while the work of destruction
was in progress. Before the Office work
was over the newcomer sought informa-
ton from one Of his fellow clerks.
"Can you tell me, said he, "why
Mr.. Dash carried on in that extraordi-
nary fashion? I mean, of course, when
he broke a perfectly sound leg off the
chair in which he had been sitting
ooh, that was all rightl'' replied the
other with a meaning laugh. IA caster
had come off one of the legs of that
chair, and, you know, my lords will
not provide us with new casters; they
will attend to nothing less than a broken
leg. So Dash had to break one of the
legs to get his chair put right at the
public expense. London Standard.
