Not the Same Wife.

The old gentleman had returned to
the home of his boyhood for the first
time in ten years or more and, as on
the last occasions, he had written "and
wife, after his name on the hotel reg
lister. OF course the keeper of the hotel
was glad to see him and grasped him
warmly by the hand.
''Ain't grown a day older than when
you was here last" he said.
MOP" said the old gentleman half In
quiringly.
"Not a day." returned the tavern
keeper emphatically. 'Your wife seems
to have changed more'n you"
"Yes?'
ooh, yes. Leastways she does to me.
LOOKS thinner than when you was here
last"
''Indeed?"
"Yes. She amt near so fleshy as she
was, accordin to my recollection. Seems
like she's taller, too. an her haid don't
look just the same to me. an-an'-
and" put in the old gentleman soft
ly, "she's not the same wife, you know"

Combination Diving.

The Swedes delight in combination
diving" and two men will perform
many clever feats together. One Of the
most grotesque Of these is when one
man stands upright on the springboard
and tightly clasps another mans body
round the waist, holding him head
downward and putting his own head
through the mans legs. When The up
right man springs from the board, he
throws his legs into the air so that the
two men, clasping the other tightly
round the waist, turn somersault, and
when they reach the water the man
who started upside down arrives feet
foremost.
The handspring dive is very effect
i've speciality Of Swedish swimmers.
The performer takes off from the div
ing board with hands instead of feet,
turning his body in order to descend
feet foremost OF somersaulting to ar
rive head downward. Very graceful
also is the back dive, in which the
spring is made backward, the body
turning toward the springboard. Dou-
Bile somersault dives are made from
platforms 80 or so feet high, the diver
making two turns in the air and enter
ing the water feet foremost.-Peter
sons Magazine.

A Joke On !, p-ore..o-

Among some intensely amusing col
lege scrapes told by "a Graduate" in

Of certain professor not much liked
by his pupils who was to be married.
The lady lived in Cleveland. And the
students that loved G? him were not
Of course invited. But they determin-
ed that in some way he should hear
from them. And he did. On the day
appointed the professor took the train
at 10 a. NJ, due to arrive at Cleveland
at 1890 p. m. About IL o'clock Jim
Townsend rushed to the telegraph Of
fee and sent off this dispatch:
"Chief of Police, Cleveland: Man
coming on train No. 6, tall. well dress
ed, frock coat, silk hat, side whiskers.

cort to home of friends at No. - Euc-
lid avenue
This message reached it's destination
long before train No reached Cleve-
land, so that when Professor Finalli
alighted. it was to walk straight into
the custody of three detectives. They
would listen to no words of reason, but
escorted him out to the house on Euclid
avenue. the home of his intended bride.

A Youthful Promoter.

A horseman had an amusing expert
ence near the speedway a few days
ago. He called to an idle newsboy to
hold his horse while he made call on
a client. On leaving the house he was
surprised to see another boy in charge
of the horse. So he asked:
'Howes this? You are not the boy
left my horse with
NO, sir. I jist spekilated and bought
him Of the other boy for 10 cents. He
said as how you were only worth
nickel. and l says you were good for
quarter. See?"
The boy got the quarter and went
around the corner, where the first boy
was waiting under an open window in
the home of the horseman's friend.
That's the way ter work the swells,"
said the young Spectator to his COM
panion. EFF you had staid, he woulder
coughed up dime. The bluff made
him ershamed to hand over less than
the two bits. You gets II cents, and
keep the eNtry cent for permotin dis

Whale Houses.

At one time not very long ago there
was on the Lancashire coast. near
Lythan. England. a cottage and boat
house that were made almost entirely
from the remains of score or so Of
whales that had been driven ashore
some years before. The framework Of
the edifice consisted wholly of whale
bone, and the dried skins of the huge
creatures were neatly and strongly fas-
tened as covering for walls and roof.
There is another building of exactly
the same kind at Peterhead. in Scot
land. and in this case the skulls of the
whales and some of the heavier bones
are used with great effect as outside
ornaments.

Queer idea Of Cures,

Modern wisdom smiles at the super
stitious charms our fore fathers and
mothers used to depend upon to cure
their ills and preserve them in health.
We are not all wise folk yet, by any
means, but at least we do not believe,
as the Devon and Cornwall people used
to do. that the knucklebone of leg
Of mutton worn round the neck is a
sure cure for sciatica, or that "black-
heads in the face will disappear i'm
mediately If the afflicted individual
creeps under an arched bramble
branch.
a Somersetshire cure for consump-
ton was to lead or carry the sufferer
through flock Of sheep in the early
Of the fold. Some mothers used to
place consumptive children in cots in
the center Of a sheepfold and there
leave them from II 30 to / o'clock in
the morning. believing that the malady
would pass away before the rising Of
that morn's sun.
West of England folk say that an
invalid, when going out for the first
walk during convalescence, must take
care to 'go with the sun, from east to
west, or west to east. Ii after supdown;

BANKER CLEws'- VIEWS.
The Financial Situation as Seen
From Wall Street.

From Wall Street.
New York, Nov. 2-The stock mar.
ket is sti1f under the influence Of con,
fusing and conflicting conditions. Ru-
mors of an early, removal of the
Northern Pacific deadlock had a stifn-
ulating effect upon values; while the
Amalgamated Copper situation and
the possibility of further gold exports
were distinctly unfayorable. This trio
of uncertainties was quite sufficient to
keep cut the public as buyers, and
leave the market entirely to the ten
der mercies of professional traders in
the absence OF any asgressiveness by
the big leaders.
With so many uncertainties In the
financial atmosphere and attention to
business somewhat diverted by the
excitement of a political campaign, the
time is not propitieus for any organ
lied bull movement. 1t. may be ar.
gued that there is very little, material
for a bear campaign, and this is true,
except for the high prices at which
some stocks are ruling, the weakness
of the industrials and the unsatisfac-
tory state. of affairs abroad.
The future of the market seems
somewhat confused. 1t is bright in
spots and clouded In others. and seems
likely to continue irregular, with no
pronounced changes in. either direc-
ton, until the leaders in the various
deals who have stocks TO sell get ready
to give prices another lift There will
be plenty of money to invest this win
ter, and good securities are exceeding
ly scarce, recent offerings being
promptly taken. This is one of the
most encouraging features of the en-
tire situation. -
