HER UP TO DATE ALBUM.
The Chicago Girls Travels Recorded

The Chicago girl that knows her
businessman where is there one who
doesn't?-has an album or card case
devoted exclusively to a collection of
pictures of the one person whom she
thinks more of than anybody else in
the world-namely, herself There are
several laws regulating the collection
of personal gallery of this kind. In
the first place, no two pictures shall
be alike; what Is equally important no
two shall be taken in the same town.
From a glimpse at this second condi-
ton, it is obvious that the young wo-
man who has n popular collection of
her own photographs must be some
thing of n traveller.
In order to give added interest to
this pursuit of herself in miniature,
each photograph is stamped in violet
ink, with the name of the town where
taken, the name of the artist and the
date of the sitting There are also
margins for recording any other Incl
dents connected with the occasion
that may be considered worthy of
note.
In this way the business of photo

definite number of chapters. II is
evident that the more pictures ii con
tains the more comprehensive will be
the text, hence the ambition of every
young woman possessed with the craze
to become a globe trotter.
There are u few standard towns that
are absolutely necessary to the reputa
ton of any album, such as Chicago,
New York, Niagara and the prominent
intermediate points. Beyond these,
the more distant and romantic the
places the greater the interest attach
ed to these pictorial histories of the
world as seen through n maiden's eyes.

Sly old Commodore.

"When Commodore Vanderbilt was

cial, "the board of directors of the
New York Central used to find their
work all cut out for them when they
met. All they had to do was to ratify
his plans and adjourn. Yet they had
their uses Occasionally a man would
come to him with some scheme which
he did not care to refuse outright.

MARYLAND superstitionn.

There are superstitions throughout
all the counties of Maryland concern
ing crossroads and running water.
Witches are supposed to make their
home at the crossing of two roads and
to appear there at midnight. one pc
culiar thing about witches is that they
cannot get across running water, and
stream of any sort always acts as
protection to the nightly prowler,
who will follow along the bank of n
stream in preference to the road.
These are some of the things which
are more generally believed in the
country around Washington and along
the eastern shore. Some of the arti-
Giles of the creed of the superstitious
in that neighborhood are:
If you sweep your room at night,
you sweep away your wealth.
Never shake crumbs out of n win
dow after dark. They are supposed
to fall into the eyes of the Lord and
to disturb the spirits of the dead who
wander abroad at night.
Don't wash your hands in water in
which eggs have been boiled. You
are liable to become covered with
warts.-Baltimore Sun.

Women and perversity are one, says
the philosophic street car conductor,
who asserts that she always does the
wrong thing in travelling on the trains,
She wants to get aboard on the wrong
side of the street; she alights the wrong
way facing backward, before the car
stops, and she'll crowd in between two
fat passengers near the rear door of
the car rather than walk few steps
forward where there is plenty of room.
She may have nickels and dimes in her
purse to burn, but she'll fish and hunt
around for minutes looking for five
coppers to unload upon the long suffer
ing servant Of the road.-EXchange

Quite softly, so | should not hurt your rest,
And not with any cry Of sorrow, lest
My darkness should break in upon your light.
Yet call sadly, for my heart is sad
But then think you are far away,
So very far that as my voice draws near
The sorrow will be lost, and you will hear
Just murmurngs, not the sad things that say
! speak softly, yet long, long
To let my heart forth, tell you all my pain
And now the passionate tears begin to flow,
And sobs come--nay, sorrows too strong and 80
The only way is to be quiet again.

nig AnimaIs of Long Ago.

Most of the gigantic animals of geo
logical eras belonged to species which
have completely vanished, and of those
which have living representatives it is
difficult to say whether they have un-
dergone a true change of size or
whether the modern examples are
merely survivals of smaller contempo-
rary varieties. The larger animals
have a tendency to disappear first in
partial failure of food supply Gigantic
armadillos closely resembling those
of the present day were formerly
abundant ia South America. The re-
mains of huge sloths are found in Gu

found in comparatively recent fossil
deposits. Another fish which repre-
sents n larger prehistoric species is the
American bony pike, which is one of
of the few suryivals of the enormous
ganoids of the secondary strata. The
tiny nautilus of the present day had
kindred 10 or 70 feet long in early
times. Another small shellfish, the

structure is packed in an inch of SHE'LL
is found in fossil remains to have
reached the respectable length of a

ONE BRAVE MAN.
And the Reason lie stood Firm while
Under Fire.


A battalion of volunteer infantry
was drilling in field when a regiment
of regular cavalry rode by. The colo
mel of the cavalry halted his men to
watch the volunteers, and, getting
into conversation with the colonel of
the latter, he criticised their drill I'M
favoraby, especially their want OF
steadiness. The volunteer colonel was
a fierce fellow, and he cried hotly. MY
men are as steady as any regiment of
regulars"
81 do not think So" retorted the cav
alrymun. and if you'll draw your men
in order to receive cavalry III prove
it,"
The challenge was accepted, and the
cavalrymen charged down upon the
citizen soldiers. who awaited them in
the usual way. Now. regular cavalry
can charge to within a few feet or
even inches of infantry at full gallop
and then at the word of command pull
up short. The volunteers, however
lost their nerve when they saw the
huge horses laundering down upon
them and showing no sign of stopping
when few yards off They fled, all
but one man, who remained on his
knee, with bayonet leveled.
His colonel, enraged at the others
fight, approached the hero and, tap
ping him on the back, cried: You are
the only brave man in the regiment.
You scorned TO run"
Yes, sir" gasped the hero. Il had
