Used HER TEETH.

"It is strange" remarked Mrs.
Manhattan, a refined looking wom-
an, whose 40 years of life had been
passed in one house, "that people
are so careless nowadays in Civ
ing recommendations to servants.
Things have changed in that re-
spect as well as in many other ways
since | began housekeeping"
"You have always kept your serv-
ants so long" said a listener, IL
young married woman, that }
thought you never had any trouble
with servants"
"Well," responded Mrs. Manhat.

ed my doorbell--you know, | prefer

HOW TIE BISHOP SMOKED
Phillips Brooks as a Guest of
Royalty at Windsor.

There is a very funny story told
of the visit of Bishop Phillips
Brooks to Windsor castle as the
guest of her majesty Queen Victo-
ria. Bishop Brooks, after being hos
pitably received at the castle, was
shown to his room. lie then pro-
cceded to light hisaccustomed cigar.
Very soon the smoke reached the
nostrils of a custodian somewhere
not far away, who came to the door
and asked the guest not to smoke,
as it was forbidden.
Bishop Brooks then came out in
to the corridor and went on smok-
ing there. The custodian again beg
ged him to desist. The bishop went
back to his room and out upon the
balcony which opened from it and
resumed his cigar there, thinking
that he was now in the open air.
Again the custodian came, this time
passing through the bishops room,
and said, Smoking is not permit
ted, sir, anywhere in Windsor cas-
tle." Then he once more disappear
ed, and Bishop Brooks, who gave up
a cigar with very great reluctance
when he had once lighted it, return
ed to his room.
He had no sooner done so than a
happy thought occurred to him.
There was an open fireplace in the
room. The bishop lay down on his
back on the floor, put his head up
into the chimney and began to
smoke there. This time he was un-
disturbed. Before the smell of the
cigar had betrayed him. Now the
smoke went up the chimney, which
is what chimneys are for. The cigar
was finished in peace.-Boston Cor.

A CURIOUS EXPERIMENT.

The following is curious and in
teresting experiment; Take a piece
Of cardboard about five inches
square, roll it into a tube, with one
end just large enough to fit around
the eye and the other end a trihe
rmaller Hold the tube between the
thumb and finger of the right hand
do not grasp it with the whole
hand Put the large end close
against the right eye, and with the
left hand he ID a book against the
side Of the tube. Keep both eyes
open, and there will appear to be a
hole through the book and objects
seen as through the hole instead Of
through the tube, The right eye
sees through the tube and the left
eye secs the book, and the two ap-
peArances are so confounded that it
is Impossible to separate them. The
left hand may be held against the
tube instead of the book, and the
hole will seem to be through the
hand.

TEST or euIcKNEss IN FENCING.

A very interesting method of
testing the quickness of sword
thrust consists in photo chrono-
graphic measurement. The move
ment of the foil point is too quick
to be measured by the eye, but by
the aid of the photo chronographic
apparatus it is plainly shown. The
fencer is dressed in white, placed in
front of black background, the
foil is chalked, and a metallic Span
gle" is fastened to the tip by wax.
The photo chronographic machine
being set in rotation, the trajectory
of the tip of the foil during the
movement of the fencer is shown by
a series of dots.
As two successive images are one
fifteenth of a second apart in time,
it follows that by counting these inn
ages the entire time occupied from
the beginning to the end of the
movement can be determined. In a
recent test it was found that the
stroke occupied a little less than
four-tenths of a second, BY this
means two swordsmen can be COM
pared and their relative quickness
easily and exactly determined.

THE BOY AND THE noG.

There is no truer friendship than
that of the boy and the dog. There
are no happier days to which the
grown man may look back with Il
tender regret for their passing than
the days spent in the old home
fields with the faithful four footed
companion of youth. Confidence be-
tween boy and dog was perfect. The
dog perhaps was not Il thorough
bred and had come into thc world
minus a pedigree, but the boy ac-
cepted him for what he was and in
the blessed ingenuousncss Of youth
may even nave found an occasion
of added pride in the dog in some
characteristic which be uow knows
was highly to the animals discre}it
as determined by the bench SHOW
standards. And as for the dog. on
his part, too, he took the bow for
what he was, asking Of him no more
than that be should condesceud To-
make of himself a demigod for un-
stinted confidence, affection aad
worship. If the scientists would de-
wise a way to represent the care free
happiness OF boyhood days IN some
equivalent Of foot pounds, the
amount of it justly accredited TO
the companionship Of boy and dog
would be expressed in many tons.-

EATING sUrERsTITIONs OF THE
EIJIS.

The coasters of the FIJI islands
will not eat until they can sit flat
upon the ground directly over a tri-
angle made of three small fish
bones. Then they only handle the
food with the left hand
The inhabitants of the interior of
the same islands will not partake of
food while cloud is in sight, espe-
cially if the cloud lies in the west,
fearing that the Great Air Whale,
whose believing (thunder) is often
heard in that country, will pounce
upon and utterly annihilate them
for such irreyerence.

A DOLLAR A DRINK.

A certain druggist was awakened
at an early hour the other morning
by loud ring at his night bell. He
looked out of the second story win
dow and saw two men wildly waving
what seemed to be prescription
blanks, he hastily donned his
clothes, descended to the store,
turned on the lights and opened up.
He was mad all the way through
when he saw that each piece Of pa
per contained the following sem
tence, "One portion of whisky" and
was signed by DR.. Al X. Holl. He
saw that one of the men held 50
bill in his hand, and a thought
struck him. He said:
81 do not know this physician,
DIR. al X. IIoll, but if you are really
sick | can fill the prescriptions"
The men, who wanted Il drink
badly, protested that they were sick
and we're each given a drink The
druggist took the prescriptions and
the 50 bill and calmly rang up So
on the cash register.
"What," yelled the men in cho-
rus, "ain't there no changc?"
'Nope," answered the drug man.
81 always charge 81 apiece for fill
ing DR.. Hollis prescriptions after
closing up time"
And he turned out the lights and
closed up the store. - Cincinnati

WAR STARTED by GLASS OF WA
TER

TER.
The war of the Spanish success
sion was caused by a contest be-
tween Austria and France as to
whether an Austrian or Il French
prince should, sit ON the throne Of
Spain. The war had been determin-
ed on for several years before the
death of the old King Charles H..
but about the time of his death an
English lady in Paris was raising "A
glass of water to her lips at crowd
ed reception. A French gentleman
jostled against her and spilled the
water on her dress. Her escort took
up the matter, and a duel resulted,
followed by so general a quarrel be-
tween the French and English resi-
dents that it was facctiously said
the war was brought on by the up
setting of glass Of water.

The Laughter of savages.

The general impression one derives
from the accounts given is certainly
that savage tribes are not victims of
sullen despair, but, on the contrary,
have a large and abundant mirth.
Their laughter and other signs of good
spirits are of the most energetic kind.
Darwin and number of travellers as
sure us on this point The Tasma-
mans, Ling Roth tells us, accompanied
their loud bursts of laughter with
movements of the hands to the head
and quick tapping movements of the
feet. Tie loud, deep chested character
of the mems laughter is sometimes
specially noted. \ recent visitor to
central Africa regrets that under Eu-
ropeGn influence the deep chested
hearty l:li'"htcr of the men is being re-
placed by what is known as the mis-
sion "sg!"" in the younger folk.-In-

An Odd Vest.

\ correspondent of Cassell's Maya
zine records a curious freak on the
part of some wasps in Gloucester, Eng
land.
The wasps were noticed going in and
out of a lock which secured a work
shop door. The owner of the shop had
the lock removed to satisfy his curiosi-
ty about the doings of the busy work
ers. He found n nest inside. The cells
were made of mud and were full of
larvae. There were several dead wasps
inside the lock.
AS the lock was III almost daily use
the wasps could not have had a very
peaceful home.

brilliant number. Professor William
A. Dunning of Columbia reviews the
series of legislative acts aiming at the
Acknowledgement of the negro in his
/ paper on "The Undoing of Reconstruc
tion," which fifty closes the notable
series of Reconstruction papers. There

the attitude of the magazine toward
this subject.
A most lamentable comedy is the title
OF a powerful novelette, by Mr.. Will
liam Allen White, which begins in the

Evening Post of Philadelphia. This
absorbing serial is study of political
Mysteries story of a State gone
mad. The scene of the novelette, is a
Western State laboring under the bur
dens of panic year. The central fig
ure is a grocery store demagogue, whose
harebrained oratOry captures the State

of dramatic power and intensity rarely
equalled in the fiction of the day.
