An Idle GirI,r auestion.

She said she knew better, but that
was afterward. At the time she was
earnestly inquiring into the ways Of
nature. They stood outside the fence
of the buffalo pen in Lincoln park-she
and the man and some.others. Before
she spoke she scarcely noticed the pres
ence of the Others. After it happened
she thought the others numbered
thousand. The animals lay idly blink
ing in the sunshine and the girl as
idly asked this question: DO they
make buffalo robes olt of the hair that
falls off their backs?" The crowd be-
gan to shout and the man to blush. The
girl protested it was joke. Perhaps
it was, but the man found the point
too dull for his wits,-Chicago Chron-

GENTLENESS NOT A VIRTUE.
Some Cases Brought to Notice in
Which II Is singularIy
Out of Place.

A young man at the art school had
just finished painstakingly sharpening
three or four sticks of charcoal for one
of the girl students, says the Boston
Transcript.
Anything more I can do for you?"
he asked, lingeringly.
mo, l thank you; it was just splen.
did of you to do this for me-"
With bow and timid smile OF
pleasure the young man moved away.
isn't he real nice boy?" asked the
girl who had been favored of her
friend who sat at the next easel.
"No," was the uncompromising an
swer of the next girl, who was older
and possessed of more vigorous views
"Why-why-"
mo; he's not nice boy; he's a real
nice girl. He's the most negative speci.
men of young man ever saw. Why
if another fellow stepped purposely Oh
his toes he'd apologize for being in the
way"
"But he's gentle and of very sweet
disposition" argued the first girl.
"Granted, but he might be all that
and still be little more of man.
Now, what / like in the way of q
man is one who is noble, gentle
chivalrous and generous, but with
plenty Of firmness and with strong,
well-defined views on every subject. A
man should always be at the positive
pole; make him negative and he isn't
man. Your real nice boy is nice be.
cause he's too meek TO be anything
else. I've been watching him for some
time, and do you know what I've had
an aching desire to do?"
"No; what?"
II long to go up behind him, hit him
hard slap between the shoulders and
urge him to brace up. OF course it
would be rude" finished the older girl
with sigh.
~ have married friend who has a
boy of ten," resumed the older girl,
after pause, during which she indus
triously filed IN several square inches
with light and shade. "Her boy was in
clined to belong to your real nice girl
sort Of being. OF course it followed
that other youngsters picked upon
him great deal. His mother paid for
a course of instruction in the manly
art for him. Then she told him that
every time he got into fight she would
give him quarter"
"Horrible!" shivered the other girl.
"That would make a regular bully of
him, l should think"
ut hasn't had that effect. He isn't
of the bullying kind. He's muscular
now, though his build is so slight that
one would not suspect him of strength.
He's gaining in firmness and quickness
of decision, and his mother tells me
that her conscience doesn't trouble her
a bit. One Of the greatest parental
crimes, she thinks, is to turn girl-boy
out into the world. He's only imposed
upon now by boys who don't know him
and they never try 1t second time.
I'm in love with that mother, and her
son, whom 1 used to secretly detest,
now challenges my admiration"
"I-I don't know" said the younger
| girl, obviously. 1t is doubtful mat
ter, to be sure. But there is no doubt
that most women like man or boy
who can fight on occasion.

HEALTHY BECAUSE CLEAN.
Maintain Air h of ths Sane cAsn- ical Composition as Low Ass,
 But Is PurOR.

The only reason why mountain air is healthier than low air is that noun
 tain air is cleaner than low air. The chemical composition of the atmos. phere differs but little. if at all, wherever the sample is taken. On Pike's peak the relation of oxygen to nitrogen and other constituents of the atmosphere is the same as at the level of the ocean. The favorable effects, therefore, of change of air are not to be explained by any difference in the proportion of its gaseous constituents. One important difference. however, is the bacteriologieal one The air of high attitudes contains no micSobes, end is, in fact, sterile, while near the ground and some 100 feet above 1t mo- crobes are abundant.
 In the air of Chicago and other crowded places, says the Chronicle, not only does the micrabe im- purity increase, but other impurities, such as the poducts of combustion of coal, accrue also. Several investiga-. tors have found traces of hydrogSn,and certain hydrocarbons in the air, and especially in the air of pine, oak and birch forests. It is to theae bodies, doubtless consisting of traces f e. Sential oils, to which the curative ef. fleets of certain health resorts are asccibed. Thus the locality of a frs forest is said to give relief in diseases of the respiratory tract. But all the same these tracts of essential oils and aromatic products must be counted, strictly speaking, as impurities, sinoe they are not apparently necessary con- stituents of the air. As recent andy. ses have shown, these bodies tend to disappear in the air asa higher al. titude Is reached, until they diss ppssr

SAVE FROM FIRE.

The chemical fire extingnisher which was presented for the consideration oI the public, and which can be purchased at cost price, has been received 1T large numbsrs at the Copper Queen store.
 The possession in the homes of our people of this fire extinguisher was urged in our columns on former occa, Sions, for the reasons given that it is an undoubted success as fire extinguish. or, that it adds materially to the safety of the home and business house, and that 1t promotes the opportunity O. securing fire insurance, amatter which is now again before the people and on which account surveys are being made in town.
 It is really worth the serious consid. eration of our people.
 All the arguments tend in favor ot the use of this really wonderful and yet simple extinguisher and striking ex- ample has been put before us of it's utility when it's prompt use saved this town from catastrophe, the extent oi which must essentially have been ter rible.

 The time was July, 1895, and at the season green turtle wereto be found in abundance.
 As no one has ever reported the island in the location mentioned, Capt. Dasen- port is of the opinion that eitherit has sunk beneath the waters of the ocean and completely disappeared or that Capt. Morrell mistook his latitude. He might well have mistaken some one of the Midway island or Bryce or Pearlis- land for the one he describes and have miscalculated his locationby distance of several hundred miles, There are many recorded instances of mariners of the period having made even greater mistakes. -J
 At any rate Capt. Cobb, commanding one of the Pacific mail steamers, states that he has passed over the location of Morrell island on several occasions. Lieut.. James M. Miller, of the United States flagship Omaha, reported some time since that Capt. Cavalry, of the City of Peking, had caused special lookout to be made when he reached this point on his way from the Sand wich islands to China, but no trace of the island or discoloration of the water was anywhere observable. r4

A study of anger from experienSes in about 2.OO0 cases, collected from fN- liable observers, has been made by C.. Stanley hall. The causes were many and various, often being very, trivial. and the physical sensations accopps- nying it differed greatly with the in dividual. Flushing was very general, although pallor was characteristic in 27 per cent. of the cases. The heart beats were violent, several cases of death from rupture of this organ be- ing reported, and there were some times peculiar sensations in mouth and throat, sometimes dizziness or faintness, frequently tears, and gen. erally copious salvation, which might produce 'frothing at the mouth" Common sounds were animal-like cSies in children, oathS and threats Ein adults, while in many cases heithroat was paralyzed, and there was 'inabiE. ty to speak above whisper, or with out crying or trembling.

MoRRELL ISLAND DISAPPEARS
EatAsY It Never ExiSted or IL Has Sank Beneath the Waters
 of the Pacific.


 The United States Photographic of ice is about to wipe Morrel. island off the face of the map. Morrell is.and does not at present rear its head above the waters of the Pacific.
 As a matter of fact, remarks the New York Sun, there may be hundreds of just such isletS as Morrell island was first described as being whose exist ence IS uot indicated on the best of mariners charts, In some portions of the Pacific, the officials of the hyoro- graphic office state, vessels never go. or course it Is impossible to make the definite statement that there is any spot in the ocean which has never been passed by some vessel at some time, but the chances are vastly against either sailing vessel or steamer having ex- p.ored a great portion of the waters of the mightestof oceans.
 Again, there are undoubtedly a mum. Der of islands charted on the maps which exist only on paper. The sailing vessels which first explored the Pacific were manned by small crews and carried abord them most imperfect chronometers. On many occasions they did not stop when they came in the vicinity of land, but sim ply recorded iD a more or less careless fashion the fact that the vessel had sighted an island of such and such size at the latitude and longitude in which the captain thought he was sailing.
 Capt. Davenport, of the Photographic office, states that mirages which ap' pear from time to time in those seas have often been recorded as actual land. He says chat many of the Pacific islands now chartered will turn out to be nothing more than mistakes in the vision of careless navigators.
 Capt. Morrell stated in the account of his voyage that he had sighted the is- land in latitude 29 degrees 57 minutes north and longitude 174 degrees 3l minutes east, The whaler's captain describes the island as being about four miles in circumference, fiat sud 70 low as to be nearly level with the

Four Kinrs ,nd n Joker.

At the time of Colonel Cody's advent
into the capital of Germany the old
Emperor William was entertaining
there three kings Of smaller Germanic
powers. The royal gentlemen were
very much interested in the Buffalo
Bill exhibitions, and Colonel Cody was
the recipient Of many favors from the
emperor himself. One feature Of the
performance was the exhibition of the
antiquated Deadwood coach containing
passengers who are attacked by In
dians and finally rescued by cowboys.
The kaiser asked to be allowed to
ride in this vehicle with his royal
guests and to participate In this inter-
esting experience. The request was Of
course granted, and when the coach
was furiously assailed by bowling In
dians its inmates were as usual saved
by gallant cowboys.
After 1t was over and as the royal
party were descending from the coach
the emperor remarked:
Colonel Cody, do not suppose this
is the first time that you have ever held
four kings"
"No, your majesty" returned the
quick witted scout, "but this is the first
