One on IngersOll.

This is the story of how an old col.
ored woman once got the better of the
great infidel:
when Robert G. Ingersoll came to
Washington from the west, his head
filled with legal lore and infdelity, or
it would be better to call it agnOStic-
ism, he encountered in one of the cor
ridors of the capitol an old negro wom-
all vigorously scrubbing the floor wheI:
she heard anyone coming, and when
the footsteps died away busily reading
her Bible.
He slipped up on her very quietly
one morning, and taking her by sur
prise, with her Bible, he said: Mary,
do you believe all you read there?
~ sutanly DO she replied; 'ebery
word, Colonel Ingersoll.'
do you believe that God made man
out of DUST?

Frugal WAYS of Foreigners.

Nothing more beautifully illustrates
the small thrift of foreigners than the
mails. For instance: While we write
for transmission abroad over 100000
letters a year we receive only 59,OOO,-
600.
While Of unpaid and short-paid let
tiers we send 1.3G9,552 the foreigners
affiict us with 2165, $50, on which We
are obliged to pay postage. While we
send abroad 49,157 postal cards with
paid reply they sent us back only
27.713.
We write more single cards than
they do, beating them nearly three
quarters of million in total of T.
100000. In short postage they impose
on us annually to the sum Of $500, 900.
For sending and receiving this mail
our government pays $2,25O,00O year.

Four Women's Gowns.

Four women who are prominent i'll
official life in Washington went to a
reception recently, each wearing a
brand-new Paris costume, which she
was absolutely certain was an
original creation. But each one arriv-
ing at the reception was surprised to
find that there were three other ladies
present dressed in gowns identical in
material trimming, ornament and de-
sign with the one she had on. The
four ladies were Mrs. Hitchcock, wife
of the secretary of the interior; Mrs.
Kean, mother of the senator from New
Jersey, and Mrs. Foraker. and Mrs.
Hanna, the wives of the Ohio senators.
Mrs. Hitchcock purchased her gown in
ST. Louis, Mrs. Kean got hers in New
York, Mrs. Hanna's came from Cleve-
land and Mrs. Foraker's from Cincin-
nati.-Chicago Daily News.

Mushroom Ouarries of Paris.

South of the city of Paris the coun-
try is honeycombed with abandoned
quarries some of which are OF enor-
nous extent, resembling the shafts Of
great mines, from 500 yards to half a
mile in length, and lying from thirty
to $50 feet beneath the surface of the
ground.
In these old quarries are grown
nearly all the mushrooms consumed in
the French capital. The mushrooms
flourish in these caverns at all sea-
sons, and they have, in Paris, the rep
utation of being superior in flavor to
those grown elsewhere. The worst
enemy Of the mushroom growers is a
species of fly which swarms through
the dark passages in such numbers as
sometimes to extinguish the candles of

Struck the Right SDOt.

Corporal punishment in public schools
may or may not be a good thing, but
there are times when a teacher feels
that to spare the rod will spoil her
temper, at least. In such cases they
have been known to violate the non
whipping rule.
Some time ago an energetic city
teacher had lost all patience, and, aft
er using moral suasion until it had
no effect, gave the boy good sound
spanking. OF course, he told his par
ents, and his parents told the principal
and the principal came down to remon-
strate with the teacher. He ex-
pounded the law and she explained
until she was getting pretty mad.

THE Kentucky Mine Inspectors
report for 1901 has not been
published and as it is now near
the close of the year, 1t would
perhaps be as well if the In
spector should hold this report
until the close of 1902 and pub
lish both in one volume. Mr.. @.
j. Norwood took charge of the
inspectors Office during the time
he was suffering from the injury
he received last winter in run
away accident here, and after a
time when the statistics for 1901
should have been completed.
The fact that the report has
never been published would in
dicate that he did not find the
statistics to his satisfaction and
that he probably had to take
time to compile them, or a por-
tion of them, again, and that he
possibly waited to accumulate
other matters he deemed neces-
sary to make a desirable report.
Mr.. Norwood's judgment on such
points is wholly to be trusted
and those who are interested are
content to await the publication
in accordance with that judg-
ment.
