A FEMi.slNE MYSTERY.
1t IL q Puzzle Why Tall Women Are
Melancholy and Small Ones
Brisk and Cheerful.

Among the minor mysteries of life
is the bewildering fact that, as 3
rule, the tall woman is of q melan-
choly disposition, while her smaller
sister is of bright, brisk and cheer.
full temperament. Science, so far as
we know, has never addressed itself
to the solution OF this puzzle; and
the amateur philosopher is therefore
left to cudgel his brain and marvel.
says the London Globe. Why length
of limb should make for solemnity
and melancholy, says a writer on thia
subject, is hard to determine; and
only on women that length of limb
bestows the temperance of Melpo.
meme. Sir Don Quixote was long and
lean, while his cheerful squire,
munching the crust of content on
Dapple, was short and fat. In India
there is no brighter and cheerfulle1
soldier than the little Goorkha; and
of late it has been recognized that a
stumpy Tommy Atkins is much more
vigorous and alert in person in the
field than his more magnificent
brother of the guards. Length OF
limb seems to suggest to the mind
the need of stateliness of deport
ment, which never troubles the con-
sciousness of ''the small and tubby. !"
We are left to conclude that the
feminine side Of our nation which is
rapidly becoming famous for it's ex-
IRENE height, will some day become
as serious and gloomy as Quakers.
and then we shall take our pleasures
more sadly than ever.
"The Biography of q Snowflake"
Under this title Mr.. Arthur 81. Bell
describes the life history of the
aerial frost flowers of winter. In or
der to have fair start id life a
snowflake should be built up on a
particle of dust. Then, if it has the
good fortune to begin its career at
the top of a cloud many miles above
the earth, and to pass through many
atmospheric strata, differing in their
temperature and the amount of
moisture they contain, our snowflake
is very likely to become a notable
individual among it's kind. In q
stratum of warmer air the little flake
catches moisture on it's tiny spicules,
and when it enters a colder stratum
below, the moisture is frozen, and SO
the flake grows. In thawing air
MANY flakes sometimes cohere, form
ing disks from an inch to two or
three inches across.-Knowledge

Where Emerson Is Buried.

Emerson's body lies in Sleepy Hol-
low cemetery at Concord, which was
purchased by the town in 1855, and
laid out according to plans furnished
by Morris Copeland. A tree bee was
held On April 10, 1856, on which occa-
sion over one hundred trees were set
out in a single day by the citizens, each
one Of whom thus brought his own
memorial. The women Of Concord held
two festivals In the same year to raise
money for seats and decorations. Emer-
son delivered the oration at the time
the burying ground was dedicated.
Many Of the most marked graves are
ON The Ridge. Here lies the body OF
Hawthorne, surrounded by low hedge
of arbor vitae, his epftaph being mere
ly his own name on white stone, Just
behind is the grave Of Thoreau, and
by his side lies the body Of his brother
John. On the opposite Of The ridge
path is the grave Of Emerson, to which
thousands Of visitors come every year,
and which will doubtless be seen Dy ad-
ditional thousands this centennial
year. A great pine stands near the head
of the grave, which is now marked by
a monument of beautiful pink quartz,
in its native state as it came from the
quarry, and near by are the graves OF
mis- mother and his son.-New York
Tribune.

Oriqin Of the Name "Puss."

A great many 5ears ago the people
Of Egypt, who lad many idols, wor-
shipped the cat among others. They
thought she was like the moon, be-
cause she was more active at night,
and because her eyes changed like the
moon, which is sometimes full and at
other times only a light crescent, or,
as We say, half moon. Did you ever
notice pussy's eyes change! So they
made an idol with a cats head and
named it Pasht! The same name they
gave to the moon, for the word means
the face of the moon.
The word has been changed to
"Pas" and 'Pus," and has come at
last to be "Puss," the name most OF
us. give to the cat Puss and pussy cat
are pet names for kitty anywhere now.
Whoever thinks of the name as given
to her thousands of years ago and
people then bowed down and prayed
to her.-Washington Star.

Every Convenience and Comfort fef

Every Convenience and Comfort fef
the Horses.
A glimpse into the interior OF one OF
the many handsome buildings In New
York set apart for lodging and feeding
horses would delight all lovers OF the
intelligent equine. The total cost OF
stables which embody up-to-date scien'
tific fittings, sanitary flooring, perfect
ventilation, and correct style, varies
from $4,000 to $15O,0O0. Instead OF
wooden flooring or earth, which Is very
injurious to the animals feet, small
bricks are now used, making stand
ing place that Is easily cleaned, and
insures perfect sanitation. The stalls
are massive and handsome, the sides
being of teakwood with q twoinch
dado; the wood extends upward about
four feet, or as high as horse might
be expected to kick Under ordinary cir
cumstances. The oat and water man
gers are Oh opposite sides, which Is
an advantage, az the animal does not
slop his dry food; the hay Is put In q
division Of the manger with wire
screen over It, 50 that it can be got
at easily, while undue waste does not
result, as in the days when 1t was
placed In a rack over the horses head.
where 1t could be pulled down and
trodden Under foot.
The doors of the stall are fitted with
ingenious devices which necessitate
the insertion Of the finger and thumb
to open, and the tricky horse Is thus
debarred from opening the door and
going for stroll without as much, as
"by your leave" There is profu:
sion of racks, with FURNISHED brass
fittings, for interchangeable name
letters, brooms, shovels and forks, and
telescope suspensory racks to hold
harnesscleaning tables, with drawers
to hold polish, chamois and everything
needed to keep things bright and shin
ing.
The New York millionaire takes as
much pride in his stable as in any OF
the principal rooms In his own dwell
ing house. When any new specially
is put ON the market whereby the sta
BILE can be improved or made more or
nate he hastens to test its adequacy.
He is particular about hiring q
stable groom as he would be in engag-
ing secretary, and the men he picks
out to care for his animals must be
diligent, untiring, progressive and In.
telligent. There are at least so stables
between West Fifty.eighth and One
Hundred and Twenty-Fifth streets
which are maryels of comfort and con-
venience. On entering. any Of these
the visitor Is struck by the neatness,
order, and even elegance which per-
vaies the place. Plenty Of light, fresh
air with no trace of the fumes usually
associated with stables, lofty ceilings,
and animals whose coats shine with
satiny lustre are found in profusion.-

Great Consumer Of Ice.

Americans are great consumers OF
ice; it is a luxury in almost every
other part of the globe. The city, in
distinction from the rural districts, is
also a great consumer of ice the year
around, due doubtless to the complete
warming of the modern house and
apartment. In old times many rooms
in every house were unheated in the
winter, and these furnished a natural
cold chest for butter and other things
perishable that needed to be kept cool,
just as the market man usually has a
heatd office in winter for his own con.
venience, but lets his supply benches
remain in the natural temperature. In
the country, and especially in the
south, the people have long habituated
themselves to use wells and caves for
refrigerators.-New York Post.
