A Man of Mature Years Sees q
Strangely Familiar Face In "A Mirror.
Here, . said a man of mature years,
was an experience that fancy others
have had You know we don't realize
the change in u own appearance as
the years go by, We feel young, all
right, and imagine that we look so, and
realize that we don't. But COM
ing down from an upper story of a tall
building in an elevator the other day
and thinking of something else l hap
pened to see a face in a mirror in the
side of the car.
sit had a curious interest for me
somehow. 1t was the face of a man of
middle age, tolerably well preserved,
but with hair pretty gray and with
marks at the outer corners of his eyes
showing where the crow had stepped
on him-lightly, to be sure, but the
marks of crows feet nevertheless, the
face of a man of years. But, old and
gray, the most curious and fascinating
thing about it was its striking resem-
blance to my own. This was almost
startling, but a moment later, when as
| looked at it saw a slight turn of my
w head reproduced with a correspond
ing movement by the head in the mir
ror, l realized that what l saw was in
deed a reflection of my own face, and
hat for a moment | had seen myself as
| was.
"But when l got home l looked in
the glass there. And did l see any mid

Naval Heroes In the Abbey.

The well known saying, "Westmin-
ster abbey or glorious victory, attrib-
uted to Nelson when he boarded the
San Josef at the battle of Cape Vim
cent, seems to point to the hero's own
wishes as to an abbey grave. But for
some unknown reason, when the end
came at the famous battle at Trafalgar
CS05), Nelson was buried at st. Pauls,
and the abbey authorities, finding
crowds going there to gaze on his last
resting place, had an effigy made of
him and set it up near Kempenfelt's
monument, in order to attract people
back to Westminster, with the desired
result.
The figure now stands in the Islip
Chantry chapel with the other funeral
efigies, and is a very lifelike and good
representation of the great man. 1t is
said to have been copied from a smaller
figure for which Nelson sat, in all the
clothes except the coat he actually wore.
Maclise, who borrowed the hat for his
picture of the death of Nelson, found
the marks of the eye patch on the inner
lining and the stamp of the period in
the crown. Pail Mall Magazine.

INNOCENT CHILDHOOD.
The Story of Little George and His Uncle
from California.

The Story of Little George and His Uncle
from California.
One fine bright morning, as little
George Pillgarlic and Benjamin Butter
nut were playing marbles in the vacant
lot that was around the corner from
their homes, an old man came to them.
Good morning my lads" quoth he.
"And what might your names be, could
askY "Sure you can ask" promptly
exclaimed little George, merrily hook
ing marble while Benjamin was not
looking. Getting an answer. sir, Is
where you Will have trouble"
Go get hair cutv said little Benja-
min triling a happy laugh.
Get them all cut, sir" earnestly
cried little Gorgie; "one is as bad as the
other" And with shout of laughter,
for he was boy of high spirits, he
dashed a large COB of mud in the old
mans eye. Little Benjamin quickly
followed the example of his merry
mate, and when the mud gave out the
lads were not above taking plain
stones. Their voices rang out In child
ish glee, the marbles were forgotten as
they pelted the old man. That noon, as
little George wended his way home
ward, for he was lad that had never
to be called to his meals, he thought of
the old man, and wondered who he
could have been. No sooner had he
entered the house than he heard his
mother call him.
Come, Georgia, your dear uncle from
far-off California is here and wishes
very much to see his darling little
nephew"
Holy smoker said little George, 'T
am very much mistaken If this is not
the aged guy with the fringe on his
face"
The old man that George had pelted
so hard was, indeed his uncle, and both
eyes were still black where stones had
hit him.
And did the rich uncle put the gold
watch back in his trunk, and tell little
Gorgie's mother what a bad boy her
son had been? Not in many thousand
years, little reader! He gave little
George the gold watch and many other
presents, saying all the while that he
liked to see little boys with spirit, and
when his visit was over he begged hard
that little George be permitted to 60
back to his California ranch with him.
And little George went.
What happned to little George when
he got to the ranchH All, dear readers,
that would be telling. Kansas City

Tho Stage,

The stage continues to form the mir
ror of fashion. One need scarcely take
In a fashion paper If one pays constant
visits to the theater. Here one can
study all the varieties of la mode and
the latest and newest designs. Each
play seems to have its own speciality In
dress, its favorlte color and Its favorite
dresSmaker.
Possibly spectators never give a
thought to the fact that these constant
changes of costume form no inconsid-
cradle portion of the fatigue incurred
by an actress In long and heavy part.
Dress cannot be slurred over now.
Gowns must be laced and buttoned up,
gloves, shoes, hats, pettlcoats be worn
to match. 1t was different in the good
old days, when actresses shuffied one
gown over another and fastened them
lightly with a button. The japanese
costume Is one of the most intricate.
The real Japanese lady wears three
gowns, one over the other, a small por-
ton of each showing at the neck, the
gowns being artstlcally shaded, say,
from pale pink to deepest rose. or from
violet to sky blue. The chemise, too,
must match, and special touch of
deep contrastive color Is given by the
waistband.

Seeing stars In DAYTIME.

The phenomenon Of people seeing

unusual one. AS a rule, however the
circumstances under which these
heavenly bodies become visible by
daylight are not Of the sort which
make the sight of them desirable. But
to see rainbow at midnight, and un-
der conditions which leave nothing to
be desired, Is a much rarer occurrence.
1t was witnessed few nights ago in
Switzerland. The moon was shining in
