The Short SteD Between,

81 was on an ocean liner when she
ran on the rocks off the English coast
some years ago." said a Philadelphia
travelling man, land in the panic that
ensued there is one incident that stands
out. in my memory, illustrating the
slender thread between the tragic and
the ridiculous. We had "a fellow on
board who had managed to keep pretty
well loaded all the way across, and
when we struck the rocks he was in
his usual condition. When everybody
thought for sure we were going to the
bottom, he sat down at the piano in
the saloon, and what do you suppose he
began playing? Home, Sweet Home
Somebody went to him and begged him
to stop. Immediately he switched off
from the daeful strains of the old song
to the rollicking melody of Down
Went MeGinty.' The absurdity of the
thing seemed to strike everybody at
once. and general laugh followed.
The tension was relieved, and there
was good order after that" -Philadel-
phia Record.

AnfidyspeHsia Diet.

Dyspepsia would no longer be the
national disease in America ifxthe peo-
pie of this country would adopt plain
diet similar to that of Norway and
Sweden. Govt is unknown among
Swedes and Norwegians, and the rosy
cheeks and clear compilations of the
young people Of those countries are
the result of the simple food the chill
dren eat" the United States consul at
Bergen, Norway. says. "Hot rolls and
white bread are rarely seen in Sweden.
Knackbrode or hard bread is the stand
ard article Of food. 1t is made Of
ground oats and rye. There is no yeast
in the bread, and it is rolled into thin
waters, which are baked and hung up
where they will keep perfectly dry.
Swedes eat this bread and drink milk
for two meals day and have one meal
at which they eat meat and potatoes.
Sweets are almost unknown. Children
are allowed to eat candy only on state
occasions"

Choosing 8 Minister,

The parish kirk of Driechton had

the members were looking forward
with keen interest to the meeting at
which the election of the new minister
was to take place.

parishioner of another as they fore

He Swung the Lantern.


A southern senator, was at one time
counsel for small railroad. At a
point on the line where it crossed a
prominent highway they had an old
negro Waterman, whose duties consist
ed in warning travellers of the ap-
prOach of trains. One night a farm
er's wagon was struck, causing a bad
accident. The railroad company was
of course sued for damages, and at the
trial the old darby was the chief wit
ness for his employers. He answered
the questions put to him in clear, di-
rect manner. Among them was the
query as to whether he surely swung
his lantern across the road when he
saw the train coming, to which he re-
piled:
"'Deed l did, sah."
The railroad company won the suit
and the senator took occasion later to
compliment his witness on his excel
lent testimony. The old fellow was
profuse in thanks, but before they
parted bluntly said:
,"Lordy, Marse John, sho' was
skeered when dat lawyer gin to AK me
bout de lantern. l was afeared he
was goin' to ak if it was lit or not.

His Best Role.

headache and prevented his appear

to stake everything Oh the result. for

Boards AND GLASSES.
Two Ornaments That Are Rarely
Found Upon Hotel Walters.

Two Ornaments That Are Rarely
Found Upon Hotel Walters.
Ever see waiter wearing glasses?'
demanded the inquisitor.
No one could remember, although
just why a waiter should not be seen
with glasses as well as any other man
was not apparent.
ITS just like the wearing Of boards"
went on the inquisitor. ''The proprie-
tors of our important hotels, restau-
rants and cafes will not permit either
boards or glasses to be worn by their
walters. 1t is possible that in some
old fashioned family or commercial
hotel the servitors may be found with
their noses straddled by optical helps,
but you won't find 'em along Broad
way.
"Now, this is fact worthy of note
because in every other calling In life
the number of persons wearing glasses
is on the increase, and even in our
schools a considerable percentage of
very small children will be- found
wearing glasses. and while, as l say,
hotel, restaurant and cafe proprietors
are opposed to the glasses, still have
seldom found a waiter whose eyes in
dicated that he was in. the slightest
need of them.
"You may argue that restaurant
walters are generally young men.
Grant you that instantly. but all the
same thousands of men of similar age
have to wear them in almost every
other occupation.
The majority of those servitors
commence in boyhood, and the demand
of their vocation causes no strain on
the eyesight. Consequently that may
account in measure for the absence
of any necessity for the use of specs.
Moreover, the steam from hot viands
would render them useless probably

DOMINATED BY WOMEN.
A Welsh Town Where the Feminine
Sex Reigns Supreme.

Sex Reigns Supreme.
Away in sequestered little nook on
the Pembrokeshire coast there is a vii
lage entirely managed by women. In
Langum-for such is the hamlet's name
woman reigns supreme. She is the
dominating force of the mart of trade,
the household financier, the family ac-
countant, and, in fact, fills all the DO
sitions which in any other community,
whether civilized or not, are by estab-
lished precedent voted to man.
Langum has a race apart from the
world in it's laws in it's exclusion of the
stranger and in it's utter disregard of
the vast area of world and things lying
beyond its borders. Its quiet life is
dominated by two all powerful factors
-womankind and oysters. There are
men in LanBum, but they exert little
or no influence upon the affairs of the
quiet little Welsh village.
The Langum man neither is nor pre-
tends to be. He recognizes the right of
womankind to own and rule and is per-
fectly satisfied to be described as An
ME Jones' man or Mary Williams man.
He neither requires nor appreciates
compassion. Sitting of an evening at
his cottage door, with his faithful
brood playing around him, his wife
and daughter busy within reckoning
the gains of the days work, he is vexed
by no mental anxieties or perplexities.
Divested of ali responsibilities of life,
he is as pleased as the oyster for which
his native place is famed.-London An

The Human Heart.

The heart of man is book-nay, it
is an Encyclopedia Of everything that
has ever come within the range of it's
personal experience. 1t preserves an
eternal record of all the stories in
which it has played a part. 1t Is
strange what sad things may be hidden
in it's depth without giving any token
Of their existence. The heart may be
gay and may send the smile mantling
to the face. but all the while you see
only the topmost stratum. If the graves
beneath were to give up their dead, the
smiles would seem strangely out Of
place.
