The Man who Knew 1t All.

A Sixth avenue grOceryman'S boy ap-
peared on the curb with a rat trap in
his hand. Twenty pedestrians stepped
at once and three dogs baEked and
leaped at the prisoner.
Get out in the streete' shouted a
voice.
"Give that rat a showv added sec-
cad.
Hold on till I get my dog!' piped
q boy.
Say. bub." interposed a fat man

the crowd, have you had any expert
ence with rats! There's only one way
to handle 'eln. Lot me take the trap
With bad grace the boy surrendered
it, and while some one held the fat
mans cane he held the trap high over
the street When the spring dosr was
opened six or seven dogs were waiting,
and the rat didn't like the looks of
things. He sprang from the door, twist
ed to the top Of the trap and then
jumped to the fat mans shoulder.
The crowd noisily fell back The fat
man yelled. The dogs butted in. One
dog got the rat and four dogs got the
fat mans legs. When that gentleman
arose. his silk hat ruined. he demanded
his cane. The holder had disappeared.

A Tale of Il Hated Dish.

There is charming story told of the
great French painter Corot. Being
bospitable he frequently assembled his
friends to dinner, and a dish of had
dock and potatoes, which everybody
hated, invariably followed the soup.
The friends. who thought Corot par
tial to the dish. always gave it when
he dined with them. At last. in reply
to the painters query. they admitted
that they detested the dish.- but sup
posed he liked it.
Corot was grinning broadly. "My
dear fellow, if you only knew how I
hate the sight of it even. But Adele,
my cook, simply adores haddock and
potatoes. And it is no good-I dare not
60 against her wishes. 1t is as much
as my place is worth. Not for worlds
would my awe of Adele induce me to
lundeceive her as regards the value I
attach to this one particular article Of
diet" i.
And for the sake of Adele this little
group of great painters had for thirty
years been eating dish they could
none CT them bear.

Deafness Frequent Injury to

Except for those who have an espe-

high Giving is dangerous pastime to
indulge tn," said a diving expert the
other day. "A good diver may occa-
sionally lose his balance, but, being
generally cool headed, he can regain it,
or at any rate sufficiently so as to pre-
vent injury to himself.
I'm the majority Of cases deafness is
the most frequent injury inflated by
diving. The cause Of this is that few
find it easy to drop the head sufficiently
to get it well between the arms. The
result is they receive some tremendous
blows on the head, and If the water is
struck bit sideways the ear gets most

ventive for such an accident is to place

another injury to health caused fire.
quently by diving arises from getting
large quantities of water into the lungs.
The extent of the harm done in cases
Of this sort depends on the condition of
the water as to its cleanliness. I have
often seen boys, for instance, dive into
water at places where it was absolute
ly filthy from the evacuation of drain
age into it. The danger to health, es-
pecially to those with not overstrong
constitutions, can readily be seen.
''The higher the dive the longer, of
course. will be the duration under wa
ter. Now, an inexperienced diver Is
rarely able to hold his breath under
water for more than a second or two
at time, and if the dive is an unusu-
ally high one he will in nine cases out
of ten give up the struggle in trying to
retain his breath and invariably, too,
face. The result not iHfrequently is
that the water that has escaped into
his lungs and stomach is far moro than
is good for him, and to many it is posi-
lively injurious.
"The best thing I know of to bring
one quickly to the surface in high div
ing is to have piece of cork fastened
under each armpit Corks weighing
four ounces each are sufficiently strong
in buoyancy for a man of $50 pounds
in weight. There are many devices by
which. the corks can be kept secured
under the armpits. Perhaps the sim
plest is to sew each cork into a tight
fitting canvas or cotton bag and thsn
again sew each bag on to the bathing
suit by a couple Of strands, allowing
the strands to run over the shoulders.
'"Those with weak hearts," the expert
added. ''cannot be too strongly advised
against high diving. The spring, the
rush through space, the break and the
entering and cleaving of the water are
altogether too exciting for weak hearts,
and especially so in cold weather.

A Mi1er's Last Wish.

A Greek died in the small town of
Caracsl, having always lived on the
aims Of his compatriots. Before dying
he made his wife swear that she would
bury him in the dirty old overcoat
which he wore every day. The poor
woman had to ask the Greeks of
Caracal to help her to provide the costs
Of the funeral. A good hearted Greek
went to see her in her atf1iction and,
pointing to the body, said he would
give her better coat to bury the man
in. Then she told him of the dead
mans last wish. The Greek, whose
suspicious were awakened, told hsr
that she should certainly not part with
the body before she had we'll examined
the coat, for there must be some par
ticular reason for the request. The
widow unpicked the lining of the over
coat and found $4,000 francs in bank
notes which the miser wished to take
into the grave with him.

FOUGHT At SIX PAGES.
SanguiAary Duel That Took PAssa

Sanguinary Duel That Took Plsse
In London In 1SO8.
Dueling in England in 1903 was often
a very sanguinary business.
On Friday morning in March Of
that year most extraordinary duel
took place in Hyde park, London, BE-
tween Lieutenant w. Of the navy and
Captain J. Of the army. The antag-
ontsts arrived at the appointed place
within a few minutes Of each other.
Some dispute arose respecting the dis
tance, which the friends of Lieutenant
w. insisted should not exceed six PAGES,
while the seconds of Captain ]. urged
strongly the rashness of so decisive q
distance and insisted on its being ex-
tended.
At length the proposal Of Lieutenant
WIS friends was agreed to, and the
parties fired per signal, when Lieuten-
ant w. received the shot Of his adver-
sary on the guard of his pistol, which
tore away the third and fourth fingers
Of his right hand. The seconds then
interfered to no purpose. The son Of
Neptune, apparently callous to pain,
wrapped his handkerchief. round his
hand and swore he had another which
never failed him.
Captain ]. called his second aside
and told him it was in vain to urge. a
reconciliation.
They again took their ground.
On Lieutenant W. receiving the pts
tol in his left hand he looked stead
fastly at Captain J. for some time, then
cast his eyes to heaven and said in a
low voice, "Forgive mel'
The parties fired as before, and both
fell. Captain J. received the shot
through the head and instantly ex-
pired. Lieutenant w. received the
ball in his left breast and Immediately
inquired of his friend If Captain Us
wound was mortal. Being answered
in the affirmative, he thanked heaven
he had lived thus long, requested a
mourning ring on his finger might be
given to his sister and that she might
be assured it was the happiest moment
he ever knew. He had scarcely fin
ished the words when quantity Of
blood burst from his wound, and he ex-
pired almost without struggle.-Glas-

nose which excited curiosity, if not

dancers wore fancy dress and masks.

vivacious young thing who had never
met him before. Nor was she any the
wiser as to his identity when, follow
ing the custom at mask balls, he re-

partner followed suit, and her prattle

GOOD THINGS TO LEARN.

learn to laugh. A good laugh is bet
ter than medicine.
Learn to attend strictly to your own
business; very important point
Learn how to tell story. A well
told story is as welcome as a sunbeam
in sick room.
Learn to stop croaking. If you can
not see any COED in this world keep
the bad to yourself.
Learn to keep your own troubles to
yourself. The world is too busy to care
for your Ills and sorrews.
Learn to greet your friends with a
smile. They carry too many frowns in
their own hearts to be bothered with
any of yours.
Learn to hide your aches and pains
under a pleasant smile. No one cares
whether you have the earache, head
ache or rheumatism.

confounded. Jack married Ladylsye
with Aunt Mans beaming approval, the
day before Sandy COrlew's probation
ended Such a piece of news. of course,
Sandy heard it about sundown and rode
straight and hand to Cresswell. He
found Miss Cresswell upon the porch
there, a figure of graciously mature
womanhood, wonderfully enchanting
in the softening dusk. In spite Of feel
ing that he had been fooled and played
with, Sandy could not speak even
grutf1y when he asked, "Whats all
this cock and bull story of Ladylove
marrying that artist chap Vanston and
going off with him in a coach and
four?"
ooh, it's a real romance. a beautiful
one" Miss Cresswal said, rising and
giving him her hand. She did it half
shyly, as Though fearing it might be
detained. 1t was a very white hand,
plump and dimpled rs baby's. Sandy
held it between both his own big
palms. wkiie the owner Of it ran on:

quite know my own mind. Besides it
might have seemed to you-well. pre-

"No such thing" Sandy said stoutly.

to see how the land lay. He began to
see. too, how he could save his vanity
from smart. Miss Cresswell was rich
and handsome and kind At the worst
she could but refuse him.
