WHY SHE BOUNDED SKYwARD.-A
pretty bicycle girl, in smart wheeling
costume, stopped yesterday afternoon
to watch Peter Hendricks build a
bridge over q small creek at Georges 8
road, just outside Of New Brunswick,
New Jersey.
The girl seated herself on a grassy
bank to observe the work Of bridge
building. A minute later she bounded
into the air shrieking wildly, and then
fell backward into a clump Of bushes.
Much alarmed, Peter ran to her as
sistance, carrying big pail Of water.
He thought she had been overcome by
the heat. He was about to douse her
with the water when she waved him
back frantically.
Are you Ill! Let me help you"
said Peter, with the kindliest intentions
in the world.
You can do nothing" sobbed the
girl, who was clearly suffering the most
acute physical pain. I sat down on a
yellow Jackets nest"
Just let me get some wet mud" Pc
ter began; but the girl started off on a
wild run, and disappeared in farm
er's house some distance away, where
the farmers wife administered aid.
Later. when the girl returned for her
wheel, she didn't look in Peters direc-
tion and he made believe he didn't see
her.-New York World.

MENTAL VAGARlES.
How Memories Of Childhood Are Awakened By
Suggestions.

Scientists tell us that our thinking
power is made up Of mass OF skeins
of gray matter, upon which are re-
corded our impressions Of happenings
and things. It is really ridiculous
sometimes how the gray matter be-
comes tangled, and what tricks 1t
plays us, how a little thing will
awaken memories long dormant and
bring before us scenes which we sup
posed had been long since tucked
away in some corner Of the brain. to
remain forever.
There is one young man In this city
who wakes mellow II you produce a
coarse sponge before him. He says the
scent Of it makes him a boy again and
places him among the noisy crowd OF
school children. as he was the first
day he went to have his young ideas
trained.
The scent Of the sponge as the boys
and girls washed their states for the
morning exercises was, as he says, his
first impression Of school, and now /.
never fails to recall that very import
ant time in his life.
The recollection Is keen and ne
grows youthful as he talks Of 1t.
The odor of new paint Is another
awakener of memories. 1t recalls
vividly a certain day at home during
a very happy time Of his life, and as
the home folks are now scattered
over the country and the young man
Is living in bachelor solitude, this Is
another cause for mental disturbance.
The olfactories are said to recall
impressions more quickly and more
vividly than the other senses. A
whiff Of violet brings thought Of
some feminine friend; a breath of hay
field an occasion when the cocks were
chariots in imagination and the field
a triumphal race course.
The odor Of baking gingercakes nev-
er fails to bring back to this page
humiliating occasion now some years
old, when it was caught pilfering from
the colander in which these goodies
were placed to cool, and was sent In
disgrace to sit on a slippery horsehair
sofa in a dismal front ROOM"
To become a child again, all that one
has to do Is to encounter an odor that
was familiar in ones youth. The sweet
smell of a bucket that has for its home
an old-fashioned well, the scent Of
churn, of raspberry bushes in bloom,
of marshy ground-all are sufficient to
plunge even a thoughtless person Into
a reverie that is as sad as 1t Is sweet.

she SAW IT.


An English conductor Of tours says
that his profession gives him an ex-
cellent chance Of seeing human ma
ture, although he naturally is more
fully prepared for "fussy'' tempera-
ments and manners than are men Of a
less wearing occupation. At one time
he was passing through Vienna with
his party, and as there was but short
interval between the arrival Of the
train and the departure Of the next ex-
press for London, 1t became question
as to how much Of the city could be
seen.
He was quite unprepared for the au-
.dacity Of one lady in the company, who
rushed up to him, her baby in her
arms.
"Oh, my dear Mr.. Muller" said she,
IT am sure you will not object to hold
ing my child for a few moments, while
dc some shopping, and see something
of the place!"
Before the unhappy man could utter
a word, he was left on the platform
with the child in his arms. At first the
baby looked smilingly up, as If to say:
We'll, you've been let in for nice
thing!"
Then it began to cry at the top of it's
voice. The more Mr.. Muller soothed it.
the more it cried, until presently he
found himself surrounded by a crowd
of reproachful ladies, who begged to
know what he meant by being so cruel
to the poor child.
Gladly would we have transferred the
little bundle to them; but they. too,
were going shopping, and would have
none of it.
Meantime, his moments for arrang-
ing the journey were rapidly passing.
and when the truant mother appeared
he was almost wild with impatience
and anxiety. He made rush in her
direction; but before he reached her,
she was assuring him, with the utmost
sweetness:
"Vienna is really the most interesting
place have seen since left England"
Madam" he began, wildly, "your
baby
"Oh, don't mention it, Mr.. Muller! I
do hope baby has been good! and If you
think there is time to spare, saw such
a beautiful silk blouse in a shop out
side the station! I'll be back in a few
minutes"
Before he could protest she had van
ished again, to reappear presently with
a beaming smile on her face and par
eel in her hand. The hungry conductor
had only 80 minutes in which to eat
his luncheon and arrange for the trip;
but the well-satisf1ed lady had seen
Vienna.

TOWNS TO ORDER.
Those That Just Happen Don't Have Much
Chance.

Those That Just Happen Bon't Have Much
Chance.
When an atlas maker visits a state In
the central West, say five years hence,
he will find seven towns which do not
now appear on any map. Friends Of
certain railroad president could tell
him their names today, although the
towns have not been built. The presi-
dent, who has just completed an ex-
tension of his line, has picked out sew
en- places along the road where settle
ments would look pretty-and make
business" To save time he has named
them.
The ingenious gentleman is net the
only railroad magnate who cherishes
town-building schemes. The Western
papers tell of seven other roads which
are planning to distribute assorted i'm
migrants to lonesome spots along their
various routes. One road in the South
west wants so new towns; a North
western road designs to found 80, and
the other five roads have hopes Of
building up from five to 20 towns each.
There is room for these towns. In
fact, in the places where it Is proposed
to establish them there is nothing but
room and railroad track. That does not
mean that they may not some day be
large and prosperous.
A notion prevails that villages and
cities begin and grow because Of con-
spicuous natural advantages. That is
not always true. Many places merely
happen" The new railroad towns be-
ing deliberately planned, may enjoy
benefits and opportunities which
chance towns and villages are
liable to lack. For one thing, the pa
ternal roads will have vital interest
in their welfare. And to be nursed by
a healthy railroad is the next best
thing to being born rich.-Youth's Com
panion.
