A certain judge is much given to
n%editating upon his work while walk
ing along the street, and his acquaint-
ances and friends recognize his air of
abstraction, pass him by with a friend
ly nod and never mind If he does not
appear to notice the salutation. A lit
tie colored newsboy not familiar with
this popularity of the judge accosted
him n day with persistent appeals:
Buy the mornin' news. boss. Have
u paper, boss"
The judge waved the tiny mite of hui
mainly aside and ven on distracted
", his mind engrosscd with the case
that was to come up that day in the
court to which he was on the way.
The dusky newsboy was not easily
evaded, and he kept pace with the
judge, shouting his paper cry at fire.
quent intervals. AT last the judge
stopped and. grabbing his youthful tor.
mentor by the shoulder, he said in his
most severe manner:
How dare you interrupt me when
am following out a line OF argument
Don't you yer speak TO me when l an
pursuing a train of thought"
The small boy looked up in surprise
and said in a most apologize tone:
"Befor' de Lord. massa, l didn't
know you was tryin' to cotch a train
Excus' me."-Brooklyn Eagle.

Nothing is more rare than a really
perfect nose-that is. one which unites
harmony of form, correctness of pro-
portion and proper affinity with the
other features.
The following are, according to the
rules of art. the conditions requisite
to the beauty of this organ:
The nose should have the same
length al the forehead and have a
slight depression at its root. From its
root to its extremity it should follow a
perfectly straight line and come exact
ly over the center OF the upper lip. The
bridge Of the nose, parallel on both
sides, should be a little wider in the
center. The tip should be neither too
thin nor o fieshy, and its lower out.
line neither narrow nor too wide. The
lobes u be gracefully defined by a
slight depression. Seen sideways. the
lower part of the nose will have but a
third Of its total length.

"a Chinaman at the telephone is a
funny thing" remarked a long distance
teIeuhone operator in the Denver News
a few days ago. You see. it is impos-
sible to tell whether one person or hali
a dozen are talking. and we often De
come mixed up in listening to them.
When one is speaking. it seems as II
half a dozen are talking. and we orteh
Imagine the wires are out of order. 10
make matters worse the Chinese DE
hight In talking as fast as possible, n
we never know whether the
at this end of the wire is talking or II
II is the one at the other end. After the
conversation is ended the Chink walks
out OF the booth with a self satished
smile on his face and pays for a three
minutes talk. We have lately discov-
cred that he invariably says as much
during that time as could have been
said by a white man in fifteen min
utes."
To be sure, the telephone company is
not really "out" anything by the trans
action, as it is paid by the minute; but.
nevertheless, in the case of Cinnamon,
the company would be the gamer by
charging for volume instead of time. A
Chinaman always begins his talk In
pidgin English. He says: Hello. IL

A fare was being ratified through q

car drawn by a no less rickety horse.
Having proceeded some distance, the
horse, owing to apparent old age and
sheer exhaustion. fell. never to rise
again. The fare was very profuse in
his ~sympathies toward the driver, who,
however. appeared to take the whole
thing very coolly and explained:

Probably the most talked Of man in

TOADS IN FOLKLORE.
Sicilian Superstition Concerning tn
CrIx Little Creatures.

Eicilian Superstition Concerning th@
Ugly Little Creatures.
The toad has prominent place in
folklore. We find the ugly little crea-
ture distinguished in popular tradition,
and that in its most permanent prov
ince, in local worship and belief. The
survival is so strange in itself and so
well fitted to illustrate the primitive
character of fairy mythology that 1t
may be accorded particular attention.
According to the statements Of DIR.
q. Pitre. contained in his excellent &C
count OF Sicilan tradition. the faith OF
that island still recognizes supernatu-
raj beings known as dome di fuora
Qadies from abroad. also entitled pat
roneSses of the house. who have at
tributes in common with the fairies Of
England. Like the latter. during the
nighttime they enter houses. where
they expect to find everything in order.
Among morta,s they have their favCr-
ties and enemies. Fortune is cO-S:d-
cred to result from their kindness.
sickness and poverty from their pcrs2-
cution.
1t is peculiar feature of their habits
that they visit the domicile not OF any
evening indifferently. but only on
Thursday, making their entrance by
the keyhole or by cracks Of doors. If
day surprises them Lcfore they leave
the cottage, they change into toads and
in this state remain until the following
eve, when they are once more 1T libcr-
ty to resume their proper shape OF
beautiful women. During the interval
the toad is sacred. because it is impos-
sible to be sure that any particular
one may not in reality be the lady Of
the house.
Legends abound in which is related
the reward or punishment consequent
upon the good or i'll treatment of Fri
day toad. On this Gay, therefore. the
usually unpopular animal is safe from
abuse and secure of attention. more
especially if it chance to belong to n
species possessing particular arrange
ment of the cuticle reminiscent of
lady's head of hair. Any person who
occupies himself with folklore becomes

One s-Nrvii: solemn thought
COr.!.% Ia u.,. Ger and Ger
I'm nearer my home today
Than have ever been before.
Nearer my Father 5 house.
Where the many mansions be:
Nearer the great white throne.
Nearer the crystal Sea
Nearer the bond of life.
Where we lay our burdens down:
Nearer leaving the cross,
Nearer gaining the crown!
But the waves Of that silent sea
Roll dark before my sight
That brightly the other side
Break OH a shore of light.
Oh. il my immortal feet
Have almost gained the brink;
II It be | am nearer home
Even today than ! think.
Father. perfect my trust!
Let my spirit feel in death
That her feet are firmly set
On the rock of living faith!
