Cautious.

Many years ago, when printed music
was dearer than 1t is now, a plain,
quiet man, evidently from the country,
went into a London music shop and
asked to see certain book Of tunes
The clerk laid before him an oblong
volume with two tunes on a page,
book familiar to old time choir singers.
The old man drew out of his coattail
pocket an ancient yellow fife and. open
ing the book at the first page, began to
play softly, turning the leaf with care
full fingers as each page was finished.
The clerks, very much amused at
first, grew weary of the droning noise
after a time, and one of them, waiting
till a tune was ended, ventured to say
politely:
"Do you think you will take the book.
sir? Does it seem to suit you?
The fife was lowered. and the player,
looking over 1t at the youth in mild sur
prise, said gently:
II cannot tell. have played only
half the tunes" and placidly turned
another leaf.

Cure For Insomnia.

suppose all of us are suffering from
the invasion of electricity. My old
friend Bounce, who was a victim of In
somnia for 40 years, thinks he sleeps
now better than any other man on
earth. He lost his way in the Adiron-
dacks and staid overnight in the cabin
of forester. His sleep was the deep
sleep Of a just man made perfect, and
In the morning he found that he had
not moved half an inch all night.
"Its the insulation" the forester in
sisted. "You city folks are KILN your
selves with contact. If you'll break
the contact you'll be able to sleep and
get your nerves back"
This matter of contact" was finally
explained to mean that our bedposts
are in contact with the floors, the
floors with the walls and the walls
with mother earth, so that whatever
personal magnetism a man has In him
goes away in the nighttime, leaving
him like a log on his mattress. The
forester had obtained four glass insu-
lators from telegraph poles somewhere
and screwed them on the posts Of his
guest bed, so that the electricity could
not run away. Bounce the very day he
got home insulated his bed, and from
that moment to the present his insom'
MIA has been banished. New York

The Cost of Cutting an Old Atlas.

The Cost of Cutting an Old Atlas.
In the state department at Washing
ton Is the most comprehensive and
complete set of aliases and maps to be
found anywhere in this country. AS
can be readily appreciated, they are
vitality necessary to the carrying on OF
the department, and therefore neither
trouble nor expense is spared IN keep
fng them constantly up to date. 1t
would be supposed that their extreme
value and Importance would be patent
; to every one.
Some years ago, however, one OF the
most valuable aliases was found with
two of the maps cut out. The maps
had not been distracted. They had
simply been detached from the bind
ing. Investigation proved the mutila-
tion to he the work of a certain clerk,
who on being hauled up by his superior
explained why he had done 1t as fol-
lows:
"Those books are terribly heavy and
hard to handle, and SO 1 cut the maps
out In order to get at them easier. The
aliases were very old, and didn't sup
pose they were Of any value or that
any one would care"
To the state department an atlas ls
like bottle of wine to judge of fine
drinks-its value increases In direct
ratio with its age. 1t was felt in the
department that that particular clerk
Ind mistaken his calling in life and to
him was accordingly given an opportu'
nifty to pursue another one.-New York

HObsOn's Choice.

How many of us who use or hear the
familiar expression, ut was Hobson's
choice" are acquainted with the real
sort of selection that Tobias Hobson
offered his guests? This is the genuine
version Of the tale: The said Tobias
Hobson was a Cambridge innkeeper,
with 40 horses in his stables, some bet
ter. of course, than others. When u
traveller came to request mount, he
was obliged to take the steed that
stood nearest the door, although there
were so many others advertised as for
hire. If the traveller objected to that
mount, all he could do was to wait I'M
til some other traveller had come for
one and SO removed this and left Its
next door neighbor nearest the stable
door.
