BREAKING 1T GENTLY.
Manx Girls Diplomatic Method of Con-
veying News of Death:

The following story is told of a certain
Manx family that nay as we'll be called
Cain, because the Gains are the Smiths Of
the Isle Of Man. There are about ten
girls and boys in this family, most of
them being grown up. all well educated,
some of them genuinely original, and
two IL three Of them talented. The
elder Cain is a prominent lawyer and. a
man Of substance and the youngest men,
Der of the family was Freddie, says the
Chicago Record-Herald.
One day Freddie and a boy friend
went out hunting, with the usual result.
One of the guns went off accidentally,
and Freddie was killed. When the ter
rible news reached the boys home his
mother was away, and Mona, one of the
older girls, hit upon a beautiful plan to
break it gently.
So she went to the home Of a neighbor,
where her mother was visiting, called the
mother out and said as carelessly as she
could:
Mother, father has beer killed. It was
all an accident. Nobody is to blame"
OF course, the stricken wife threw up
her hands and almost tainted, after
which she covered her face and began
to sob. That was the moment selected
by Miss Mona for the triumph of her
diplomacy. Putting her arms around he,.
mother. she tenderly said:
Never mind, dear; fathers all right.
It's only Freddie that's killed."

Gus and the Hog Law.

The people Of Maryville, O., once had
trouble over a hog law. The city coun-
Gil passed an ordinance prohibiting hogs
from running at large. Some Of the res
idents of the Fourth ward, which was
then familiarly known as dog town."
protested, and the question became an
issue in the city campaign. The Repub-
licans nominated Gus Romasser, a lead
ing merchant ana society man, for alder
man from the "bloody Fourth" The
morning after the primaries a delegation
waited OH him at his store. "Gus," said
the spokesman, Twelve come to ask you
how you stand on the hog law" Gus
was nonplussed for a moment. He
didn't know how his questioners stood,
and realized that either an affirmative
or. a negative answer might beat him.
Finally he laid his hand confidentially
on the s~pokesman's arm, and earnestly
replied: "Boys, I'm with you." The
delegation departed satisfied. Romasser
was triumphantly elected and voted to
retain and enforce the law. He says he
doesn't know yet what that delegation
wanted him to say.-Kansas City Jour

BELLS OF
They Ring from Many Pagodas at the
Setting of the Sun.

Mandalay has it's own sky, soft and
gray and ~incurving like a tent, with
white cloud-lines that seem meant for
scrolls if n could read. 1t is the very
sacred city, the city of contemplation,
the city of all the monks. a thousand
pagoda bells give tongue to the wind
there when the sun goes down; a crum-
bling thousand more give up to time
the testimony of outworn things.
1t lies in a curved arm of blue hills,
and something broods over it with solicit
tude. This you suspect from the air of
the place and the way the shrill talk of
the parrots and the complaint of the
goats and the laughter Of the people
come to you wherever you are sitting.
Afterward you go out, as l did that
morning with the commissioner, and see
sky is caught up, the squar of the dark
red crenelated walls Of the old royal
city, three miles each way, and outside
the walls the parallel clear moat blink
ing back at the sky; and then you are
sure that over and above the govern
ment Of India some spirit is in possess
sion here, some spirit that bends in af-
lection over finished and forgotten
things.
Seven-roofed kiosks stand at intervals
over the gates in the wall-they are
called pyathat, but they strike the eye
like peaceful conclusions-and low white
stone bridges raised in the middle span
the moat. The buttresses OF the gates
are painted deep gray and white, and
the bank that slants steeply from the
wall to the water has here and there a
low, twisted, spreading tree on it, purely
for decoration. You may stop at a cor
ner and look two a along the reflect
ing water with bridge after bridge re-
ceding across, and pyathat after pyathat
diminishing above, ard each red and
gra: and white vista so picked out and
finished under the quiet light, slipping
adorably into the neal blue Of the hills.
Mandalay seemed aware with bunting
that day, flags and arches of welcome
everywhere and crowds 1ocking-aware
and almost awake; but you looked again
and saw that she only turned in her
sleep and smiled as at a dream.-Scrib-
ner'S MapaZine.

The price has been lowered, on account
now, for fastening small packages, the
bands save money as we'll as time.
A local dealer said yesterday:
w expect to sell at least twice as
many bands this year as we did last
year. From this store alone go tons Of
you. Take the No. 8 band, the one used
by druggists and jewelers. for small
packages. We sold fully 5000 pounds OF
those last year. There are 5000 of them

100000 of this size last season. Suppose
they were opened out and tied together.
would have $4,000, 900 inches, or more
than 400 miles Of rubber, for the bands
are an inc and a half long when opened

"A band will stretch FIVE times it's

made to cover 2045 miles. Or, in other

able to get an idea of the elastic rings
used in Philadelphia and vicinity.

idea Of the size Of the load can be
gathered when it is realized that 9,OOU,-
600 pounds of freight were moved. The
engine was in charge Of Philip Eber-
hardt of Albany. Last week the same
locomotive drew 100 cars over the divi-
sion. In the 100 cars there were 1900
tons. The hauling capacity Of the loco
motive is enormous. 1t drew fifty loaded
cars up the Schenectady hill without
assistance, an unheard-of feat among
Central engiremen. The increased
owe of the monster is gained by the
use of steam four times. that is. one
compound cylinder placed ahead of the
other. hence it's name, tandem COM

MIR. HANNA'S FEET.
The Make an Index to the Character of
the Senator.

1T you wish to know why Senator
Hanna is a success watch his feet.".
This remark was made the other day by
an astute Republican politician, who has
learned to study men from many "stand-
points" "Just why the feet should be
the index to the nan perhaps is not ap-
parent at once" he continued. but here
is what you will see if you will Jake the
trouble to watch Senator Hanna's feet:
H will be standing during an even
ing in the best hotel in the city in which
he happens to be stopping. He will new
er be given an opportunity for idleness.
A gentleman and lady will step up and
introduce a friend, others will follow.
and for half an hour or longer the genial
Ohio senator will stand shaking hands
with a procession of people, exchanging
~pleasantries with old friends, and MAX
ing new acquaintances. During this
time the pedal extremities of the Buck
eye statesman-and these extremities are
cause of their shaDeliness and ~neatness
of dress-will never move from where
they have been planted, not so much as
a hairs breadth.
Nov. think what this means. It
means that Senator Hanna has learned
one Of the most difficult feats Of self
control. He wastes not the slightest
particle of energy in movements that are
unnecessary. If he has mastered. this
art with reference to the members of his
body, he has also mastered it with refer
ence to his mind. This means that his
mind rests exactly On an even keel, so
to speak; that it grasps without the
slightest confusion from surroundings
the real subject in hand, whether that
subject be a legislative proposition or
a political problem infused with the in
fuence of personality.
Senator Hanna's feet show that Sen
ator Hanna has perfect mastery Of him
s~elf."-Washington Star.

Birds Eggs Too Much for Science.

1t is not often that science acklowl~
edges herself at fault in all apparently
simple matter, but she frankly does so
in regard to the color and marking Of a
large proportion Of birds eggs. 4 rea-
son there must be for their infinite d.
versity-it cannot be an aesthetic e
and all we can say with any confidence is
that the ever-pervading instinct Of dis
trust is probably exhibited in egg shells
as in more important things, and the
main idea in their scheme if coloration
has been the securing of safety from
many enemies by harmonizing them with
their surroundings. But it is a scheme
full Of p%erplexing exceptions, which any
one can study for himself at this charm
ing season.-Pall Mall Gazette.

Knocked Into a Cooked Hat.

The expression knocked into a cooked
hat is familiar to every one, but per
haps it's origin is not so generally
known. Cooked hat was a variety Of

pins were used, set up at the angles Of
a triangle. When, in bowling ten pins,
all were knocked down except the three

Duty on Things Eaten.

Some days ago a number of excursion
lists from Zurich went by boat to Stras-
burg, and carried with them a large
cheese, which they ate en- route. The
fact was noted by two gendarmes who
were on the boat, and on the return of
the party, when they stopped at Fret:
bourg-en-Breisgau, they were conducted
leased until they had paid 400 marks. A
demand for restitution of the amount
