nIoAiOu.

4. Ratelssl ike Bite.

To illustrate the 9uekness with which dea4a ensues lf0a ,ae blte ol a big rPttler: \ resident of this city gas after quail, with two fine point CTS. After scattering a large convoy he began 10 pick up stray bird here ard there. One fell about 50 yards ahead, and calling to his dog: Dead bird, he reloaded and slowly ad- vanced. Just as the dog reached the bird he was seen to leap into the air a foot or two, the action being accom- panied by faint yelp. Now the quail fell, as l have said, only about 90 yards away, but when the hunter reached the spot the dog lay stone lead. He had been struck by rat tier six feet in length, and death was nearly instani1aeous--A. I Press.

The opportunity for unseemly controversies, and still more unseemly selections, would be very great It Is well, occasionally, to visit the resting places of the noble dead, but perhaps isolation adds to the impressiveness of such resting places, and the emotions which one of them excites in the sensitive mind would hardly be proportionately in creased by dozen or a hundred in a single group.

Tom teipd ID On aou He Didn't
 Here Is s.oIy ot two neli-known young Baltlmoleans, whom We will call Mir. Tom Blank and Mir. Dick So- and-So. Each brides himself on be- ing absolutely up to date and up to snuff in all particulars. Tom called around to see D.ck one morning 8 short time ago and had scarcely passed through the door before Dick exclaimed:
 By George! The very man. Say, Tom, l want to go 10 Boston this aft ernoon and need $75. wish you'd let me have it. Ireally wouldn't ask you, but see my position.2
 "Yes," replied Tom, a sort of touch-and-go rno-toueh-no-go posi- tion. Ton are better of at home, Dick It's sTy cold in Boston"
 Somewhat frosty here, too, t seems, ; sac Dick. Butts all q joke, old man Come in and sit down"
 Haven't time" said Tom, T just stepped around to see if you wouldn't let me have tt9, $I66yoa already owe me-if it's perfectly convenient"
 Dick seemed to make hurried mental calculation, and then told his friend that be would give him check for that amount, but didn't think he had qu4te tha, much in bank.
 But you ean'g down and see" he added.
 So Tom took the check, invited Dick 10 go to the theater with him that ever ng and hurried down to the bank. The paying teller took the check, strolled back, locked at Dick $ account and returned to the window, shaking his head.
 "HoW much does 1t take 10 make it good :" asked Tom.
 Not allowed to tell, , replied the teller.
 Tom went to the receiving teller and deposited ten dollars to Dicks credit, but that didn't make the cheek good. Another ten dollars and still others were put up, with the same re- suit, until Tom began to perspire and the bank people to laugh Finally Tom deposited his tenth ten dollars with the remark that 1t was a tough game to be up against, and he again presented the check, only to be met with another shake of the teller's head and the information: "Very sorry, Ar Blank, but that account was somewhat overdrawn.o
 Tom gave it up and dashed cut of the bank. He had no sooner gone than Dick sauntered in and asking how much he had to his credit was told $95.
 Just cash me this check for $90." he said, "and if you sec MT. Tom Blank to-day tell him I'm awfully sorry I=cannot be able 10 see him this evening. as I have decided to take that little Boston trip We were talk irg about this morning g."-Baltimore Sun

TIME AND TIDE.

 Elght Eours Long.

Etght EouES Long
 Sixty million years hence, accord ing to Sir Robep Ball, the famous astronomer, day will be about twice as long as 1t is now, or, in other words, it will take the earth approximately 48 hours to revolye on its axis in- stead of 24. This is based upon the theory that an equal number of years ago the day was only half as long as it Is now.
 Sir Robert Bal! gave 8 lecture un- der the direction of the University of Chicago Lecture association, taking for his subject "Time and Tide" He began with g story dealing with a period earlier than history, earlier than life, telling of the changes which time and tide have wrought and the manner in which the tides were in- creas.ng the length of the day.
 He described the chasms cn the moon, the picturesque views of the satellite, and gave aH explanation Of the constancy of that planet He re- cited the succession of life on this globe and gave q glimpse through the corridors of time, describing the mighty Atlantosaurus, the birth of the moon, the dawn of light and a sample of what the earth was once hke.-Chicago Record Herald

How a Blind Man Can Tell Time.

Perhaps many people have noticed
that the blind man who plays the hand
organ day after day at Grand avenue
bridge has a watch in his pocket. He
has a watch, and can tell time, too.
Yesterday man dropped a nickel in
his cup, and, noticing the watch, asked
him for the time. 1t was a queer Ques-
;ion to ask. bUs he saw the watch and
wanted to know whether the blind man
was simply pretending to be sightless.

man. lie held ii UP close to his ear
and slowly turned the stem-wiuder.
'One, two, three, four, FIVE, six,
seven, eight" he counted, and then he
said: "That means ~ minutes. I wound
up the watch tightly at o'clock ana

utes past 4, Here, look and see how

and it's very easy, too. All you have

Suppose tnat at 3 o'clock | wind up my
watch until it Is tight, as we say; that
Is. until another turn of the wlnder
would apparently break a spring. At
3 O'Clock | wind the watch again and
find that the winder clicks 12 times
before the watch is wound up to the
place where it sticks. Then | know
that 12 clicks will run the watch 12O
