WISE WORDS.

Senility and extreme youth are equal
ly garrulous.
Like death, inspiration often comes
unexpectedly.
To look is not always to see, says
the wise man.
Happiness often goes about dis
guised as duty.
Daintiness is to woman what cour-
tesy is to man.
Health is q touchy thing; disobey
1t, and Off it goes.
Only q snob is pretentious; gentlefolk
are always modest.
Thrift is not learned by text books,
but through observation.
Women confess to bad memories,
but seldom bad methods.
TO fall out Of love is joy; into it,
misery. To love is difficult.
1t is better not to say all you mean
than to mean nothing you say.
He who fails once is to be pitied;
twice, to be watched; thrice, to be
condemned.
There never was q true book lover
who could understand what lonesome
ness means.
After one can eliminate the interro-
cation point from the life matrimonial
all goes well.
In order to learn mans character,
watch his hatreds; to gauge a wom-
ans, note her loves.
To hit the mark with another's arrow
is despicable when you deprive the
owner both of the opportunity and
weapon.-Ph Record.

hunting is called lacking, and the IA
vorite method was to paddle quietly
along the lake or its inlet in a canoe
with just one bright light shining at
the bow Of the boat.
Deer, especially, possess vast
amount Of curiosity, and any startling
object that bursts suddenly upon the
vision will hold them spellbound for a
few moments at least. At night the
fascination Of the light usually de.
tanned the deer long enough to give
the hunter a chance to get a shot.
lacking. however, is now prohibited
by law in the Adirondacks.
Now the fair hunters are obliged to
walt until daylight before starting the
hunt. Very often the costume includes
sweater, boomers and a short,
round-necked over-dress of seal brown
corduroy, drawn in around the shoul
ders with elastic, fastened on the left
shoulder with one button and belted
in with the cartridge belt High-laced
boots and a neat little toboggan cap
complete the costume.
AS dogs, like the jack lights, are no
longer permitted in the Adirondacks
the woman hunter must match her
skill as a shot against the keen wit of
the deer. She starts out to follow the
deer runs and to still hunt over the
ridges where the acorns and nuts
grow, Just as the men do.
The hunters now follow an old log
road, perhaps, and then plunge at right
angles into the thickets to make a
short cut for some Of the inland bodies
of water where the deer drink and dis
port themselves. The field glass may
reveal deer working his way along
the shore of the lake. The deer with
his branching antlers moves apparent
ly with little concern, and the woman
hunter works along the bank Of the
lake until good shot is afforded.
Suddenly the deer Is frightened, but
before he can turn to escape the crack
Of the rifle breaks upon the air, and
the woman hunter has become the pos
SCISSOR of deer's head as proof of
her prowess and aim.-New York Sun.

Really Too Bad.

Great men, when they We're boys,
were often just like other boys, fond
of fun and mischief. The boy who
became Professor Gillespie proved this.
He noticed-trust boys for noticing
that the schoolmaster was in great
fear Of thunder and lightning. Even
when the sky grew overcast he used
to watch the windows tremblingly.
The boys, led on by Gillespie, turned
this weakness at times to their own
advantage. When holiday was
wanted they used to get herd laddie
to ''work" sticl, against the ratings
outside and in other ways to make a
noise that might pass for distant thun-
der. When the boys heard the sound
one would utter, in a stage whisper,
"Thunder" Some would even cry
out, There's fash" By and by the
teacher would say: "You had better
go home, boys, for q thunderstorm is
coming on, and it will rain in torrents"
The lads obeyed.

JAPANESE ARCHITECTURE.
The Style Yfeldiag to That Common in |
European Countries.

European Countries.
A Japanese architect who makes a
speciality of European styles and de-
signs Is a person not frequently met
In this country, yet such is the profes-
sion of Mr.. S. Yoshii, OF Toxic, Japan,
who arrived in Washington Tuesday.
Mr.. Yoshii's card tells that he is the
"chief architect to the ministry OF
communication, architect to the homo
department" ETC., and Mr.. Yoshii him
self tells some very interesting things
about the architectural phase of Jap
anese life Speaking of this he said:
European architecture is gradually
gaining a foothold in Japan, and must
sooner or later dominate, just as Eu-
ropean styles of dress are soon to
dominate in the big cities. In Toxic
and in other large centres of popula-
tion all the new business houses are
built on European plans. They are
found to be more practicable. The
residences are still of the Japanese
style, and 1 suppose they will bend to
the change last of ALL Some of the
larger and finer residences in the cities
are built like yours, but most stick to
the old customs.
"The Government does not own its
buildings, but rents them, and these,
without exception, are Of European
design. Within a few years the Gov
ernment will erect its own buildings,
and, of course, will adopt European
patterns. There are three good Euro
pean hotels in Toxic, and a nuilber
that are not so good. The Europeans
and Americans never stop at the Jap
anese hotels, because they cannot do
without chairs. Our hotels have moth
ing but couches.
Architects in Japan make it a rule
never to construct building over four
stories in height, for fear it will fall
during an earthquake. Earthquakes
are frequent there. Sometimes we
have two in one month, but the dam
age is seldom great"

OF INTEREST
A Royal Road to Learning.

The old proverb that there is no
coyal road to learning, which was for
merly accepted as indisputable, is en-
phatically denied by Mrs. Evelyn
Fletcher Copp, the originator Of the
Fletcher kindergarten method Of musi-
cal instruction. That royal road will
be found, she says, for the children Of
the future, and the road is being made
smooth for the children Of to-day in a
way that would once have been
thought impossible. In the realm of

The waiter had brought him raw
oysters, and to his dismay he saw that
the professor had apparently no inten-

Il cannot eat these oysters" said the
professor slowly, without raising his
eyes to the anxious waiter. The man
seized the plate and bore 1t out of sight
in an instant. He was a new waiter,
and 1t was with much trepidation that
he laid the second supply of oysters be-
fore his discriminating patron.

professor. after one glance at the plate
which had been set before him.

Apropos of recent discoveries at Pom

says:
In July, 1899, certain desultory exca-
vations were undertaken on the farm
of Signor Matrone between the River
Sarno and the Stabian gate of Pompali,
near the Molino Fienzo, not for any
archaeological or scientific purpose, but
| in quest of valuable and mark etable
objects. The remains brought to light
include set of shops. built in the retic-
ulated style, opening on to a porch or
veranda which runs parallel with the
high road. One of the shops, filed
with earthen ampohorae, belonged to
a wine seller, second to n carpenter,
n third to Il dealer in fishing nipple
ments. A large court opens behind
the shops, with an oven In the center:

end of the porch towards the river,
where Pliny's Llburna was probably
anchored-a poor and wretched lot of
| fugitives, carrying away In their flight
only few coppers. Six or seven skel-
etons were found lying in the court
near the oven, also with no objects of
value; but party of twenty men,
women and children of much higher
rank were overtaken by death In the

PECULIAR DREAM STORY.

Lady Sees Visions of House and Is Her
self Facsimile of Ghost Seen There.
Horace G. Hutchinson. who has been
discoursing on Dreams" in Longman's
Magazine, gives the following peculiar
instance:
A certain lady dreamed frequently
of certain house until it had become
exceedingly familiar to her; she knew
all its rooms, its furniture; it was as
well known to her as that in which she
lived her waking life, and. like a good
wife who has no secrets from her hus-
band. she often talked over all the de-
tails with nina very pleasant fancy.
One day they-husband and wife-went
into the country to view house that
they thought of taking for the summer
months. They had not seen 1t, but the
account in the house agents list had
attracted them. When they arrived
before it they gave a simultaneous ex-
clamation of surprise. why" said
the husband, sit is your dream houser'
1t was. The coincidence attracted
them. They took the house.
In the course of their occupancy they
learned that the house had the reputa-
ton of being haunted; that several peo-
pie before them had taken it for short
terms, but had seen-or fancied they
had seen" something" and had left
before their term of tenancy expired.
Had these new tenants not brought
their own old servants with them, 1t is
likely that they would have had some
| difficulty in whipping up a domestic
staff, so uncanny was the reputation
of their apparently reputable house.
| The new tenants dwelt in the
house with all satisfaction and peace
| through the summer months until their
term of tenancy came to an end. Or
leaving, husband and wife expressed
their satisfaction to the local agent.
1.-THE only thing" said the wife, that
we were disappointed in is that we new
er saw the ghost"
ooh, no!' said the agent. I'VE knew
you would not see the ghost"
What do you mean? asked the
wife, rather nettled.
oh" the agent repeated, I'VE knew
you would not see the ghost! You are
the ghost that people have always seen
here"
