One of the officials of the road had
invited party of gentlemen to take a
little PLEASURE excursion over part of
the line on his private car. Before the
appointed day he was taken sick and
called in his chef and commissary.
"Eph," he said, II have asked these
friends and can neither go with them
nor disappoint them. l want you to
give them the best there is in the larder
and see that it is served as well as it
would be at the best hotel in the
world"
Eph scratched his head and looked
troubled, but simply said, Eyes, sah."
On the return several of the gentle
men congratulated the official upon
having such a man." and one or two
intimated that If Eph ever wanted an
BILE in securing it.
Finally Eph reported. ut wa a great
outin, sah," he assured his employer.
"Yas, sab; OATS right, sab; a stupen-
dificious outin, sab. De gem'men all
done me proud, and tells 'em it wa
you, sah."
Then Eph showed the bill, and it was
sumner for length and amount. He
stood hat in hand until the official said:
"Pretty steep, Eph; pretty steep. Moth

The SmOtherinE Scene.

AS to stage appointments, there
were no plush or velvet curtains or
couches draped with satin in early
days The furniture was as unpreten-
tious as the costumes. Indeed on one
occasion when lady was playing Des-
demona to her husbands Othello dis
astrous and Mt the same time ludicrous
effect, though of course unrehearsed,
had been imminent through the lack of
even nail or two to make an old stool
steady.
1t was the smothering scene, and the
couch was made up of two chairs and Il
rickety stool covered, of course, with
the simplest draperies-a red merino
curtain trimmed with yellow worsted
fringe. Imagine a Desdemona endeav-
oring to recline gracefully, all the while
feeling portions of her couch sliding
from under her. This is how the scene
was played out:
Desdemona-Kill me tomorrow; let me live to.

Othello-Being done, there is pause. Q'll
push the stool under)
Desdemona-But while say a prayer. do be
quick, Robert, it is slipping.)
Othello-It is too late!
Which, indeed, it was, for the bed col
lapsed, and Desdemona's body lay up
on the floor, her head upon the sole
chair, which stuck to its post faithful

Though Chinese cuisine has been
credited with some utterly fabulous
dishes, such as white mice served
alive. which add piquancy by their
squeak as they dive down the gullet,
curiosities in the edible line do form
considerable list
Birds nest soup, for instance; a
clear soup made from the refined
gluten with which a certain species
of swallow fasten their nests beneath
the rocks; stewcd "sea sIugs," another
nasty sounding DISH but transcending
in flavor the aldermanic green turtle
fat. There may be, too, on first intro
duction. some prejudice against fried
grasshoppers. But courage in this in
stance is rewarded by a deliciously
crisp. brown mouthful, of a delicate
nutty flavor
1t is falfacy to suppose that pork
forms a constant article of diet in
China. AS a matter of fact, it is too
expensive and is only eaten on high
days and holidays or at restaurants.
Neither do milk, beef or game enter
much into Chinese cookery, the first
two being tabooed on religious grounds.
Dog flesh is eaten in the south but
rarely and only by the poorest of the

A conductor onsthe Park line had an
experience the other day that is quite
certain to cause him many uncomforta-
BILE minutes in the future. His car
stopped at Spruce street to let middle
aged lady on, and as she took her seat
the conductor gave the motorman two
bells, and the car shot ahead. When
the conductor entered the car, the wo-
man in question was looking out of the
window and did not see his outstretch-
ed hand.
Fare, please" remarked the con-
ductor.
The woman evidently did not hear
him. for she did not turn her head.
Neither did she hold out the necessary
coin.
"Fare, please" said the conductor in
louder tone.
But the woman paid no heed. Then
the conductor touched her on the Shout
der and in tone of voice that rang
through the car exclaimed:
Your fare, please. lady"
Then the woman turned hastily
around and looked at the conductor.
The knight of the bellcord gave one
gasp and fed to the back platform.
The woman was his mother-in-law.--

Hanover's registrar discovered very
curious document some time ago as he
was looking through a bundle of pa
pers that date back to the eighteenth
century. The document is a receipt
probably the only one of its kind in ex-
istence-which was given to a Hano-
verian captain by canon of Duisburg
during the Seven Years war.
81, the undersigned" it reads, "here-
by acknowledge that have received 80
blows of a stick. which were inflicted
upon me 10y a lieutenant of Captain

ment of chasseurs. For my impru-
dent words now admit that am pro-
foundly sorry. | received my punish

81 have heard Of some strange and
curious expedients that have been used
to clear the tracks in cases of railroad
wrecks said a well known railroad
official recently, but the methods used
on small railroad not far from Bal
timore few years ago to clear the
tracks and incidentally save a fine en-
CINE from serious damage were the
most original | ever heard of.
THE wreck had been caused by ice
forming on the rail from an overflow
ing tank near the trestle. The train
had two engines. The first engine and
the cars had run out ON the trestle
and dropped over. The rear engine
was left standing half sidewise on the
trestle, which was 80 feet high. 1t
seemed as If the touch of a mans
hand would cause it to topple over,
and it blocked the road, which was
only single tracked, and the wrecking
car with its derrick could not be used.
If we only had something soft to drop
it on and then hoist it back said one
official, we could manage all right
This remark gave a farmer of the
neighborhood an idea. He offered to
sell his big stock of corn fodder. The
plan was to pile the fodder from the
ground underneath the trestle to with
in few feet of the track and then
topple the engine over. The plan work
ed well. and owing to the elasticity of
the fodder the engine was not damaged

CONVENT LANTERNS.
An Old Fad with Modern Improve
ments-An Electrical Display.

In the cid lays favorite fad for
travellers In ancient lands was the col
lection Of lanterns. Those from ruined
converts, decayed mosques and power
ty stricken shrines were prime favor
ties. The fad is not entirely dead, but
the supply has run so short that now
enterprising firms in Birmingham,
England, and in New York turn out
large numbers of excellent limitations.
The new ones are machine made and
so far as strength and durability are
concerned are superior to the ancient
designs, which were hand made, but
the latter In many instances were or
namented with inlaid work as well as
with carving and twisting of the most
artistic type. The machine made goods
can never reproduce these latter char
acteristics so well as to deceive an eX-
pert.
The material of the lanterns varies
from fine woods and glass to iron.
steel, brass, bronze, copper, pewter and
even silver The simplest forms are
cylinders which are perforated with
numcOuS holes so as to resemble the
clumsy sieve. Then come globes cubes,
Octahedra, hexagonal prisms, ovoids
and more complex solid forms. The
prettiest Of all are the mosque Ian
terms. Many of them are of bronze in
laid With silver, pierced with little win
dOws and these closed in turn with
white or colored glass. With lighted
candle inside they look like mass of
Jewels in dark room.
A wealthy man on Brooklyn heights
who has travelled a great deal has one
of his rooms illuminated by lanterns of
this type. They range in size from
small affairs four inches in diameter to
stately lamps a foot in diameter and
two feet high. In place of candles in
side he employs electric lights. one
bulb to the smaller lanterns and three,
four and a dozen to the larger ones.
When the current is turned on, the
splendor of the effect is almost star

been deepened and made richer by the
years. and the radiance they give may
be compared to that from a great oriel

Trigonometry In Y Ray Work.

"Few people know" said DR.. J. c..
Egelston while performing an opera
ton at the City hospital, that it takes
trigonometry to locate a bullet in the
body. But in every y ray operation
in which the bullet or foreign sub
stance is deeply imbedded mathemat-
ical computation is necessary to show
Just how deep the bullet is. The Y
rays make the flesh transparent, leav-
ing only the bones and foreign sub
stance visible. SO that you see just
where the bullet is, and yet you don't
know where it Is. You know its lati-
tude and longitude, so to speak, but
those measurements are surface meas
urements. and you don't known how
deep the object is beneath the surface.
The point on the surface of the body
beneath which the bullet is can be
readily located, but how far beneath
that point is the bullet?
This is the question that trigonome-
try has to answer. and by knowing the
answer n great deal of unnecessary
cutting may be saved, and what might
otherwise be a difficult and dangerous
operation may be rendered compare
lively safe and easy. If the bullet en-
tiers one side of the body, for instance,
and lodges within an inch or two of
the skin on the other side, the other
side of the body would be the one from
which to operate. kansas City Jour-

The Two Senators.

Congressman Jones of Virginia told
this story of his father: Directly after
the war Jones senior was sent to the
state senate. An old slave who had
belonged to him was also elected to the
senate. The two drew adjoining seats.
Senator Jones was very courteous and
in addressing his former slave always
called him senator. The old negro
stood it for some time and finally said:
"Massa William. don't like dis sena-
tor business. KANT come down to
yo' house and visit that cook of yourn ?
l suhtinly would like permission to Wis.,
it yo' kitchen"
The request was granted, and while
Senator Jones was in his library the
other senator was down in the kitchen
visiting the cook.

Some Childish Humor.

Here are some specimens of childish
humor from the Chicago News:
"Oh. mamma" exclaimed 4-year-old
Flossie as she observed the moon in its
second quarter, come and look at the
moon. Half of it is pushed into the
sky. and the other half is sticking out"
Tommy, aged 3, had been busy whit
Ting and managed to raise blister on
his hand which caused a slight break
in the skin. Running to his mother, he
showed it to her and said, Mamma, l
guess I'm beginning to wear out"
did they sing any pretty songs at
Sunday school?" asked a mother of her
little 4-year-old daughter upon her re-
turn home. "Only one" replied the lit
tie miss. ut was something about
Greenland's ice cream mountains"
Papa-Well. Willie, have you been a
good boy today? Small Willie-Did
you ask mamma? "Why should l ask

A rather curious method of burglar
catching was resorted to by an in
genious maidservant recently in New
York. As The Electrical Review tells
the story. while in pursuit Of her
household duties the maid noticed a
mans foot inside the clothes closet.
She did not scream, neither did she
jump at the door nor shut it with a
bang. Instead she took a broom and
began to sweep that corner of the
room near the closet. Her approach
was gradual, and the sweeping was
done so naturally that it would not
have aroused the most suspicious bur-
glar. At last the broom brushed the door
gently, but hard enough to close it to
the fraction of an inch. With five or
six more gentle sweeps that closet
door was shut and almost latched,
which she at length succeeded in doing
by gently pressing her arm against it.
AS the telephone in her house was
so near the closet that the burglar
would be able to hear her if she called
for assistance, she bethought herself
of another plan. In the back yard
some telephone linemen were at the
time making repairs on a wire that
runs to another house in the block.
She went out and spoke to them. They
promptly tapped wire, attached a
testing instrument and called up one
of the down town exchanges, which in
turn got the house owner, who in his
turn called up police headquarters.
From there the call was sent to the
police station nearest the house, and
two policemen were sent around and
got the man.
