Il had occasion to examine two
brothers who had applied for policies
in our company the other day." said
the medical examiner of a life insur-
ance company. zone was IS years
old and the other was 80. They are
both unmarried and are known about
town as pretty, gay boys. Usually
there is considerable attached to writ
Ing policies for men who are known
as FOUNDERS but these two proved to
be perfect specimens Of physical man
hood.
Il was particularly impressed by
their chest developments. They both
had the same measurement and also
the same expansion-from 80 to 43.
When I found that they had smoked
cigarettes from boynood, I wondered
all the more ut the four inch expan-
sion. Then they told me that when
they We're youngsters they used to
delight in seeing how long they could
hold their breath under water: Every
time they took a bath in the tub one
would take a deep breath, duck under,
and the other would time him with a
watch. A minute and a half, I be-
lieve, was the limit Of their endurance.
They said 1t was all their mother could
do to get them out Of the bath and
drive them to bed."-Philadelphia Rec

His Bumps.

They were newly married and were
calling upon one Of the friends Of tae
bride who had been particularly pleas
ant upon the occasion Of their wedding.
The bridegroom, apropos Of nothing,
began to talk about phrenology and.
told how his wife had discovered two
very prominent bumps on the back Of
his head. He was proud Of them. So
was she, and she passed him around
that the host and hostess might feel
the bumps and know Of their exist
ence. Then she explained:
"My book on phrenology says that
they mean good memory and generos-
ity."
1t was evident that she was proud Of
the facts, and SO was he. But the host,
being Of an inquiring turn Of mind,
wished to satisfy himself, so he got
down a chronological work from one
of his library shelves and after much
labor found the bumps on the chart.
Turning to the notes, he read, seriously
at first, then %unsteadily. The bride be-
came suspicious, but she was game and
said:
"Read it out loud. Please DOR And
the host read:
"These bumps are most frequently
found on cats and monkeys"
Other topics consumed the remainder
of the visit, which was brief.-New
York Sun.

Mulctins Wagner.

Wagner when a young man wrote a
sonata which had a fair success, but in
after life he made every effort to sup
press It. Going to the publisher, he
said, 'Have you any copies Of that mis-
cradle thing still unsold?" "YeSC;' was
the reply; II have quite a number of
them in stock" 'Send them to me at
once, with a BILL" said the composer.
A thousand copies were soon after
ward delivered at his door. The bill
was a big one, but it was paid, some
what gr%udgingly, and Wagner thought
he had done with the thing. What
was his surprise, then, at receiving two
OF three months later on another con
signment, this time of 500 copies.
II thought you had only a thousand
Of these things" he protested. "That
was all I had in stock" explained the
dealer, ''but these have been returned
by my agents, to whom I wrote that
you wished to have the sonata sup
pressed" Wagner WINGED, but there
was nothing, for It but to pay the bill.
And thereafter whenever business was
dull with this crafty publisher a few
hundred copies Of the sonata would be
struck OF on shopworn paper and de:
lyered ct the composers door, with q
memorandum to the effect that they
had just,come back from remote places
where they had been sent for sale.

Tale Of a Frugal Bishop.

saThere used to be in a city in which
I lived" said a Cleveland man, "a GER
tain bishop who, while possessed Of the
highest principles and whose aims and
ambitions in life were of the highest
character, at the same time united with
these q p~enuriousness in money mat
tiers that caused innumerable stories
illustrative Of this failing to be tackled
upon him. One of these related to q
certain church conference which the
bishop and other dignitaries of the
church at one time attended.
@At one Of the meetings the bishop
in ~endeavoring to open a letter neatly
with his penknife was so unfortunate
as to allow the latter to slip and to
cut q finger severely. The injured
member bled profusely, andsa hasty
search for court plaster ensued. There
being non forthcoming, a clergyman
standing By lshed out his cardcase
and, extracting from 1t a 8 cent stamp,
the smallest priced stamp he had, Of
fered it to the bishop to use as a sub
sttute for the much needed court plas-
ter.
'"The bishop accepted it gratefully
and in his turn took out his own card
case. Init he placed the 5 cent stamp
and then, producing a / cent specimen
Of his own, he pasted it over the still
bleeding Wound."-New York Tribune.

RnreHed HNi:t1r OF the Rockies,
High up Onsgthe Laramie range there
- 9 little station called Sherman-a
mere watering place for trains on the
Union Pacifc railway. Near by It Is
z gigantic pyramid OF stone 60 feet
high and GO feet square at the base,
which was sot up by the railway as a
monument to- Cakes Ames and Oliver
Ames.
In the latter eighties there arrived at
Sherman q shabby person Of melan-
choly aspect, who put up a ."'shack"-
western for shanty-not far~from the
monument Ostensibly. he was pros
pecting, and he continued to prospect
for three years without accomplishing
any results. so far us could be OBJ
served. At the end Of that period the
management of the Union Pacific re-
ceived from him a communication de-
handing the immediate removal Of the
monument from the premises, which
he claimed us his under the homestead
law.
The matter was regarded in a hui
morous light at first. but subsequent
proceedings developed the fact that
the squatter had what lawyers call a
Cease"
The stranger, 1t seems. had located
on a section Of land which did not be-
long to the Union Pacifc-the same
section On which the monument had,
by an inadvertence, been placed. He
knew very well what he was about,
and the upshot Of the affair was that
the railway had to pay $1,000 for the
squatter's tract In order to make its
title good.
The monument, by the way, Is dis.
tant only about 100 yards from the
station, and it is a favorite trick Of ax-
perienced persons to induce green
travellers to attempt a run to the pyra-
mid and back during the two minutes
Of the trains wait. In nine cases ont
of ten they fall on the ! way back,

Contests of Eggs.

Contests Of EGGS. .
From tho remotest ages the egg has
been looked upon as the symbol of Gre
alton, or new birth. According to the
Persians, the world was Matched from
an egg at that season Of the year which
corresponds to the vernal equinox.
Hence the Parsees still exchange gifts
Of colored eggs at the new year festi-
val, which they celebrate at this date.
Among the Jews the egg entered into
all the mysterious ceremonies called
apocalyptic and occupied a prominent
position on the household table during
the paschal season. Christianity in
vested the paschal egg with o new sig
nificance-namely, that of the resur-
rection Of Christ, and it was colored
red In allusion to his blood shed for
sinners on the cross. 5
4 curious custom in medieval church
es, for priests and choristers to join in
q game Of ball at Eastertide, took its
rise from the Easter egg, which was
thrown from one to the other Of the
choristers in the nave of the church
while IN anthem was being sung. AS
q missed egg meant a smashed egg, the
more durable handball was substituted.
i But the smashing Of eggs continued
as a form of outdoor sport. Survivals
are to be found among all Teutonic
and Anglo-saxon people. a popular
game in England and Germany con
sists in hitting n egg against anoth-
er, the egg that survives uncracked
winning for its owner the weaker an
tagonist, until an entire basket Of eggs
may have changed ownership. Anoth-
er game is to trundle eggs down a hill
or slope, those which reach the bottom.
uncracked being similarly victorious
over the others.
