stepped on His Nose,

Mr.. David S. Bispham, the grand opera
singer, said that his most discomforting
and embarrassing experience on the stage
was when he was once impersonating
Falstaff
He was eager to make great success
out of the role. He had made up with
great care and tried to provide against
any accident, but in the most exciting
scene, when every eye in the audience
was fixed thrillingly upon the stage. Fal-
staff's large, bibulous nose came off. 1t
slowly slid down the length of Mr.. Bis
pham's body without his being able to
catch his notes and his nose at the same
time and dropped upon the floor. There
he trod upon it, and. in full sight Of a
packed house and amid uproarious laugh
ter of the audience, he had TO lift up his
foot and remove his nose from the heel
of his boot-Saturday Evening Post.

DRESS UP FOR SUICIDE.
Said to Be an InvRriabIe Rule With
Women Seeking Death.

Said to Be an Invariable Rule With
Women Seeking Death.
"If l should ever be called upon to
furnish indisputable proof of the in
herent pride of woman" said police
sergeant, II would point at once to her
invariable rule of dressing up In her
best clothes when she goes out to com
NIT suicide. In my experience on the
force l have had occasion to handle
good many suicides and afterward in
vestigate their personal affairs, and in
every instance | have found that the
poor unfortunates prepared themselves
for death by DOMINIC their best bib and
tucker.
1.-THE majority of the printed reports
of suicides say that the clothes of the
dead woman were good or well made
or elegant If the woman contemplate
ing suicide owns a silk waist, she
wears it. Her broadcloth skirt and silk
petticoat naturally go with this gar
ment, and she selects her best shoes.
81 have looked up the history of
many of these respectfully clad suicides
and have found that they owned but
one gown with which they could make
a decent appearance on the street and
that that one good dress was chosen
without exception as the appropriate
garb in which to make the exit FROM
this worlds stage. 1t makes no differ
ence what manner of death Is chosen,
the costume is carefully selected.
LET a woman sleep her life away I'M
der the influence of drugs or burn her
soul out with acids or sink into the
slime of the river, she clothes herself In
her most becoming garments and seeks
the end with apparent tranquility.
Her instinct Of gentility and elegance
in clothes is with her to the last, and
even in the face of death she shrinks
from a public appearance in unbecom-
ing raiment." New York Sun.

During the civil war President Lin
coin discussed the impracticability of
maintaining a discovered country and
submitted some proposed amendments
to the constitution looking to the
elimination of slavery, without which,
he said, ''the rebellion could never have
existed" His plan was to purchase
emancipation in a period of 81 years,
and he entered into an elaborate argu-
ment to show that this would be more
prudent and economical than to con-
tinue the war. This led him to forecast
the probable increase in population,
which he believed would continue at
it's normal rate of growth. He said:
cat the same ratio of increase which
we have maintained on an average
from our first national census, in 1880,
until that of 1860. we should in 1900
have a population of 103,208,415. and
why may we not continue that ratio
far beyond that period? ' We have
100000 square miles. Europe has
100000, with population averaging
70 1-3 persons to the square mile. Why
may not our country at some time aver
age as many? Several of our
states are already above that average,
and yet they have increased in as
rapid a ratio since passing that point
as before. New Lippincott.

The Diet of the Phoebe.

Among the early spring arrivals at
the north none are more welcome than
the phoebe. Though naturally building
its nest under an overhanging cliff of
rock or earth or in the mouth of cave,
its preference for the vicinity of farm
buildings is so marked that in the more
thickly settled parts of the country the
bird is seldom seen at any great dis
lance from q farmhouse except where
q bridge spans some stream, affording
a secure spot for nest. Its confiding
disposition has rendered it great ia
vorite, and consequently 1t is seldom
disturbed. 1t breeds throughout the
United States east Of the great plains
and winters from the south Atlantic
and gulf states southwark.
The phoebe subsists almost entirely
upon insects. most of which are caught
on the wing These species are mostly
harmful. Small wild fruits and ber-
ries comprise the vegetable food. No
cultivated fruits are disturbed by the
phoebe. 1t is evident that pair of
phebes must materially reduce the
number of insects near a garden or
field, as the birds often. If not always,
raise two broods year. and each brood
numbers from four to six young.-Los
Angeles Times.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

If brooms are hung in the cellarway,
they will keep soft and plant.
Lamp wicks should never be longer
than will reach to the bottom of the
oil well Of the lamp.
If a piece of calico is pasted over
holes and cracks in plaster, they may
be whitewashed or papered over and
will hardly show.
Add little turpentine to the water
with which the floor is scrubbed 1t
will take away the close smell and
make the room delightfully."- fresh.
Excellent lamp wicks may be made
of mems soft felt hats by cutting them
into strips the width required, letting
them soak two hours in vinegar and
drying them.
A bed should never be made under
two hours from the time it has been
slept in. 1t should be aired thoroughly
and beaten until it is light. Open all
the bedroom windows and let the fresh
air and sunlight into the room.
If you have handsome vases on the
mantelpiece or on top of the bookcase,
etc, fill them with clean dry sand,
which will weight them SO they will
not be overturned easily. In buying
any ornament be careful to examine
the bottom and see that it is perfectly
fat and so will stand steady.

Curiou, piece of Stone work.

One of the curiosities of the old city
Of Guadalupe, Mexico, is a great column
of stone sails rising from the upper walls
of the cathedral. There are three sails,
one above another, each with reef points
and showing a stone mast. On the top
is a niche containing the figure of a
patron saint.
This curious piece Of stone work has
an interesting history. One of the old
hidalgos was at sea with his whole fami-
ly when a terrible storm arose which
threatened to destroy the ship. The don
bowed in prayer to the Virgin Of Guada-
lupe and vowed if she would save the
ship he would make an offering to the
church. The ship was saved and this
curious tower built 1t can be seen a
long distance at sea and looks like ship
under sail.

High Mountains of the Moon.

The Leibnitz range attains enormous
attitudes above the average level of the
moons surface and is sometimes seen
projected far beyond the regular eurva-
ture of disk, thus destroying the circu-
Tar contour and giving it notcbed or
serrated aspect Several of the peaks
of these southern mountains measure
10000 feet in altitude, while one has
been estimated to attain the great
height of 10000 feet. All the chief
mountains of the moon which can be
seen from. the earth with telescope
have had their heights ascertained The
German observers. Beer and Maedler,
have calculated the height of no fewer
than / ,095 lunar mountains. The Do
riel mountains supply an instance Of
great elevation, the peaks of the three
leading ones being between $4,000 and
10000 feet high Among other lunar
peaks may be mentioned Huyghens,
21.OOO feet; Hadley. $4,000 feet; Brad
ley, 1900 feet. and Wolf. 1000 feet.

LEARNING A TRADE.
The Danger of Making a Specialist
of n Beginner.

The Danger of Making q Specialist
of n beginner.
1t Is generally to the interest of an
employer that an apprentice should not
learn his trade as whole, but only q
little section of it, says Joseph HorneI
in Casters Magazine. 1t pays better
to keep a lad repeating the perform.
ance of one section of his craft than
to teach him all. More money is made.
But the apprentice becomes a young
specialist, prig in his teens, cocksure
over some little piece of handicraft at
which he may earn something over his
normal wages, and many a lad does
not become disillusioned until he has to
face the world and try his luck in
other shops
And therefore the best shops in
which to place lad are not the big es-
Adjustments but the small ones, where
every class of work Is done and where
tools and appliances are often scant.
A lad will learn more in these than in
those replete with every appliance and
infinitely subdivided into sections and
groups.
The best training for lad today Is
that which he can evolve for himself.
The greatest evil that can befall him
is to become a specialist and nothing
more while in his teens. Yet that is
what must happen if he spends several
years tending machines or doing re-
petitive, unvarying tasks in one big es-
tabliShment.
The best training, therefore, today is
that gathered by the peripatetic youth.
If a lad cannot gain experience in one
place. he should move about, gathering
as much as he can accumulate with
one firm, then on to another. and at
tending training schools as opportunity
offers. His views become broadened,
he becomes self reliant, and in time,
having found his true work, he may
settle down as a specialist.

THE ROSE OF LIE

The rose spoke in the gardens

The vast Of sky above me
Is blue and glad.
The hushed deep of my heart
Hath the suns gold;
The dew slumbers till noon
In my petals hold.
Beauty | have, and wisdom
And love know,
Yet cannot release my spirit
OF its strange woe"
Then wind cider than Time,
Wiser than Sleep,
Answered: 1.-THE whole worlds SORROW
Is yours to keep.
Its dark descends upon you
At days high noon;
Its palloY Is whitening about you
From every moon.
The cries Of a thousand lovers,
thousand slain,
The tears of all the forgotten
Who kissed In vain,
Have left on you
The witness each Of its pain,
Ancient. yet new.
So many lives you have hvedi
So many star
Hath veered in the signs to make you
The wonder you arel
And this is the price OF your beauty;
Your wild soul is thronged
With the phantoms of Joy unfulflled
That beauty hath wronged,
With the pangs Of all secret betrayalss
The ghosts of desire,
The bite of old fame and the chill
OF the ashes of fire."
