NOT UP IN THE CLASSICS.
A Congressman Who Was in the
DIRK Ms to Title and
ColophOn.

A certain member of the house of rep.
resentatives, nameless here forever more,
met a newspaper correspondent in the lobby
the other day and mysteriously invited him
to his committee room. The correspondent
cast a chew of tobacco out of his mouth
mar to the seclusion of the place designated.
Say" said the member, looking about
carefully to see that only the two Of them
were present, 81 want to ask you a question
in confidence"
"Oh," responded the correspondent in a
tone Of disappointment, sis that what you
wanted?"
Yes; and if you can give me the informa-
ton / am after you will do me a great
favor"
"All right" said the correspondent, re.
covering his wonted spirits, though the
other kind were lacking, what is it? Go
ahead with your rat killing"
"Well," began the member in a manner
reminding one of the preface to a book, 81
going to make, just to see what he thought
OF 1T and make a suggestion or two to i'm

thing into it that I'm not up to-"
"What is it," asked the correspondent,
as the member hesitated.
well, I'm fairly well up on the Bible, and
when I come across the sentence anywhere
means we'll enough, and also know about
Dan and the other one. I had that in the
speech, but he said it was a chestnut by
this time, and it would sound more tony
and abreast of the times and literary cuf-
ture to change it from Title to Colophon,'
and I told him all right but didn't let on.
Now, you are a friend Of mine, and I want
to ask you about this. As I said, I'm up on
the Bible, but I don't know the classical
BUSINESS a little bit, and while I can kind

NOT THAT KIND, OF A CAKE.
1t Looked Suggestive Of a wedding
but Was Intended for a Diff
ferent Purpose.

An East end car was loaded down with
shoppers, mostly women, FOR it was in the
middle of the afternoon. Conversation was
proceeding at a great rate. It was like a
pink tea or a session of the sewing circle,
But all at once a hush fell over the fair chat
terers. A negro lad entered, bearing in his
arms an immense cake, three or four decks
high, and frosted over from pit to dome, as
they say of a theater. There was a profusion
of flowers by way of decoration, and delicate
traceries of gauzy lace completed the en-
bellishments. The cake was so large that
the negro could scarcely carry it.
The cake told the whole story of the we'd
ding, the bridesmaids, the orange flowers the
flower girls and the banquet afterward.
Every feminine heart in that street car was
a.futter as its owner gazed speechlessly
upon the evidence of a wedding to be.
Finally, when the car stopped to let on
another passenger and everything was very
still, one lady took courage to ask the negro
"Whut wedding" asked the negro, his eyes
protruding.
"The wedding that cake is for"
"Dis amt no weddin' cake"
"No?" Na
"No'm. Dis yeres err cake walk cake"
There was a smile that reached from one
end of the car to the other, and very soon
conversation was resumed as before.-Mem-
phis Scimitar.

ODDS AND ENDS OF EARTH.
There Are Many Regions of the Globe
Yet Unknown to Civil
ized Men.

Young men with a taste for travel,
adventure and discovery have beer. late
ly in the state of mind INDUCED in by
Alexander, 2who sat down and wept be-
cause there were no more worlds to con
quer. For the comfort and e%difcation
of such Henry M. Stanley, the distin-
guished ~eX-traveler, publishes an arti-
Gle on the odds and ends of earth, which
are still left open, or rather closed, for
exploration, and which, with industry
and economy, could be made to yield
something to the traveller.
MI. Stanley begins with the continent
of Africa, which still offers certain par
GELS of ground, one of them 700 miles
long and so miles wide, which have
never been thoroughly explored or, in
deed, explored at all. Besides the work
of original exploration there is in Afri-
ca an immense amount of supple
mentary exploration to be done. There
are mountains $4,000 feet high to be
climbed and written up in detail. These
mountains all have names which may
be found in any good central African
lexicon. The great African lakes, all
discovered since 1850, are konwn only,
as it were, in outline. Their depth or
their altitude above the sea level is un.
known as yet. The Nile has a few more
sources yet to be discovered and so has
the Congo. There are believed to be
active volcanoes in Africa which have
never yet been studied by white men.
There are scattered around in the for
ests and mountains of Africa whole
tribes who have never seen a white
face. These are all to be locked up.
Besides Africa, the continent of South
America offers great tracts of almost
unknown country. An American
steamer occasionally ascends the ANA
zon, but the vast forest on the head wa
ters of that stream-its tributaries
themselves great rivers-is still a mys-
terry. The great chain of the Andes has
been crossed in many places, but has
not been traversed lengthwise. Agreat
part of the Andean Cordillera is COM
pletely unknown, says Mr.. Stanley,
Doth as to its topography and geology.
The Cape and Cairo railroad has been
spoken of as depending on circum-
stances, but one great explorers rail-
road is open for business already. 1t is
the great trans-Siberian all through
route from one side of Asia to the other.
South of this road lies one-fifth of the
continent of Asia, stretching away to
the Himalayas, which is good and fruit
full ground for the explorer.
Thus Africa, South America and Asia
are yet to be explored in large sections.
The arctic regions still present their
hidden attractions and the traveller
may still seek them, cheered on by the
hope of freezing and starvation.-Kan-
sas CITY Globe.

The above illustration shows one of the
mammoth buildings occupied. by the great
Mail Order House Of the John M. Smyth
Company of Chicago.
For one:third of a century this Company
has been in business. Beginning in a small
way they supplied their neighbors in the
peear-by towns, each year widening their
held. They are now selling merchandise d.
rect to the consumer at wholesale prices
throughout the United States.
Some years ago they began supplying
their customers with an illustrated cata-
logue. As the business expanded they
were obliged to increase the size of this
catalogue, until to-day it exceeds 1000 illus
trated pages, quoting the lowest Wholesale
prices on everything to Eat, Wear and Use.
BY a superior process of color photography
they illustrate many of their goods in natural
colors, bringing out the rich color value of
designs in wall papers, etc, thus enabling
the customer hundreds of miles distant to
select goods at his own fireside, knowing by
the description, illustration and price the
class of goods he may expect.

GIN editing copy remember to cut

managing editor to the new copy
reader. every often there are many
words such as STILL but and the like
used in a way not only useless but
absolutely bad. Now, remember and
knock 'em out" Not long afterward
the copyreader was editing a short
story sent from a fishing resort up
north. The .copyreader never went
fishing in his life and didn't know one
piscatorial term from another. In the
copy he found "the men finally quit
still fishing and began trolling" He
remembered very distinctly the in
structions of the managing editor
about still" and such words and with
one sweep of the blue pencil! obliter-
ated "still." The men to whom the
story referred were rather surprised
to read in the account of their fishing
expedition in the paper that "they
