A BOOK OF FATE.
The Keeping OF One often Helps t,
Make the Keeper Quite
Miserable.

A young woman who reyels in woe
has evolved, or at least revived, an ex-
cellent way Of keeping herself in
York exchange. She has diary with
two pages for each day. On one page
she writes what she expects to do,where
she proposes 10 so and whom she hopes
to see during the day. On the opposite
page she writes what she has done,
where she goes and whom she has seen.
The pages, says the young woman,
Predictions of each other. The silver
lining of the cloud of pessimism which
such a perverse state of affairs would
otherwise engender is that she has no
ticed that when she predicts and ex-
poets gloomy day, filled with disa-
greeable duties or monotoncus dull
ness, the opposite page is sure to glim-
mer with pleasant surprises calls
from pleasant people, letters from alb
sent friends, invitations of an especial
ly tempting character and all sorts OF
unlooked-for enjoyment. The writer
of the diary says she finds it an excel
lent antidote for undue elation of spir-
its and check to despair. When she
feels down" she can turn to her blue
days and see how well they turned out.
and when she feels particularly cxuber-
ant glance At the records of days
joyously anticipated but mfserably
spent has wonderfully SOLDERING ef-
feet. The book keeps her in a state 0
tranquil neutrality very restful for tie
nerves. The absurd young woman has
had the old diary bound in pink and
purple. typifying joy and woe, and calls
it her book of fate.

JUMPED OVER A TOWN.
1t Was Afterwards Carr
ried Back.

a most extraordinary incident hap
pened to the corvette Monongahela at
Santa Cruz in 1857. While at anchor in
the harbor tremendous tidal wave
lifted her upon its crest and carried her
clean over the town of FrederichstaGt
and back again without injuring the
town or the boat to any great extent.
The receding wave landed her on the
beach instead of in the waters of the
harbor, and it cost the United States
government 100000 to float her again.
Fully as strange was the fate of the
sloop-of-war Wateree. She was an
chored in the harbor of africa, Peru, in
1865, when huge tidal wave swept in
land and flooded the whole city. The
wave carried the sloop several miles in
land and finally landed her in the
midst of tropical forest. 1t was i'm
possible to release her from such pc
,uliar position, and she was sold for a
nominal sum. The purchasers turned
the vessel into hotel, and the remains
Of the once formidable war vessel loom
up in the tropical forest to-day as a
monument to the power of tidal waves.

BALLOONS WILL SOAR.
Even If Pierced by the Bullets from q
Thousand Rifles Tacs Will
Not Collapse.

Time and again the plot of story has
hinged on the escape of the villain in a
balloon, and his miserable ending when
u well-aimed bullet from the hero's rifle
has pierced the gas bag and brought
the whole concern smashing to the
ground.
Nothing could, however. be more
false to fact. A simple bullet will no
more bring down balloon than grain
If sand an ostrich. The experiment has
leen tried, and by no less person than
the Brothers Spencer, the famous Lon
don balloonists.
A captive balloon was sent up and an
chored about 700 or 500 feet up. Then
firing began with ordinary army rifles.
Impossible as it may seem, over 1000
bullets pierced the silk. yet even then
il was three hours before enough gas
escaped to bring the balloon once mora
TO firm ground. One reason of this is
that the elasticity OF the material to
some extent automatically closes the
rents in the material.

HIS ONLY PRACTICAL JOKE.
An old Mans Reminfsccnce or one ~
His Boyhood's Most Painful

The apples and cider and the genial
warmth of the glowing coal fire caused
the old man to grow reminiscent. He

into his faded eyes, he talked of the

Gus things have happened to it in its

MALAY CHARACTER.
A Misrepresentation OF Long stand-
Ing That Is without Foun-
Gation.

In character the Malay is impas-
sive. He exhibits reserve, diflidence,
and even bashfulness, which is in some
degree attractive and leads the OBJ
server to think that the ferocious.
blood-thirsty character imputed to the
race must be grossly exaggerated. Tie
is not demonstrative. He is slow and
deliberate in speech. Children in the
company OF men are silent. and are
generally quiet and obedient When
alone the Malay neither talks nor sings
He is cautious of giving oiTense. He
does not quarrel easily about money
matters. Practical joking is utterly re-
pugnant to his nature. The Malays of
the higher class are exceedingly polite.
They are proud, and, if ill-treated, re-
vengeful; but under generous treat
ment are gentle, kind, humane, CRATE
fnl, docile and faithful. They are duti-
full children and kind parents. They
treat their aged kinsmen with the
greatest kindness, and feel it duty to
relieve the wants of an INDECENT reia-
ton. Old men and women are always
regarded with respect, says the En-
cyclopedia of India (1s5s).
Dr. OSley described the character of
the unsophisticated Malay as remark
able for its simplicity and honesty.
They have regard for truth. and may
generally be depended upon in their
statements. What has so often been
written Of their revengeful spirit. he
says, is much eNa ggerated; polite in the
extreme, according to their own ideas,
they never indulge in abuse one to-
