1t is not an invariable rule that peo-
pie of culture alone can turn q grace
full compliment. Even the uncouth and
uneducated sometimes have that art.
1t is related that the late Amos Cum
mings Of New York had occasion while
Congressman to engage servant. A
man of large build, German descent
ana heavy accent was engaged on trial.
This pair of shoes is to be polished
each morning for ten days." was one Of
the orders given by Mr.. Cummings. AT
the end Of ten days call and I'll let YOU
know as to the future. You shall re-
ceive 10 cents a shine"
The German agreed. When he called
for the shoes the second morning he
found that they had not been worn.
The brilliancy resulting from his pre-
Vlous effort was still there. On the third
day Mr.. Cummings showed a silver dol
lar into the toe of one of the shoes.
when the servant called on the tenth
day MIR. Cummings said:
Il suppose, William, you received
your money for shining those shoes Y'
Il nefer seen it," and William looked
inquiringly.
William, did you polish those shoes
each morning for ten days?" asked the
representative from New York sternlv
"Efery time"
Cummings now picked up one of the
shoes and shook out silver dollar, 81

William, who had not thought II noe.

morning, was cornered. But he soon

The compliment secured the dollar
but not the job.

IL
During the same period, from 1850 to
1902, the population has increased from
100000 to 100000, and is therefore
only three and one-half times as great
as in 1850, while the internal commerce
is ten times as great as at that time.
Meantime the foreign commerce has
made rapid increase, though not at a
rate of speed proportionate to that Of
internal commerce. The imports of
1850 were $173,5O9,526, those of 1902
$9O3,32O, 949. The exports in 1850 were
$144, 375,7 26, in 1902 81, 391, 71O,4O1.
The manufactures of the United
States are now about double those of
the United Kingdom and nearly equal
to those of France, Germany and Rus
STA combined, while the value of the
agricultural products of the United
States far exceeds that of any other
single country.

MAGILTON, THE APE ACROBAT.

Story from Scotland of a Ghost and a
Series of Dreams
Some years ago my wife had repeated
dreams Of a house, the interior arrange
ments of which she described infinitely,
although no idea as to its locality was
conveyed to her. Subsequently, in the
year 1888, hired for the autumn from
Lady b house in the Highlands,
with shooting and fishing; my son, who
was in Scotland at the time, arranged
the matter, neither my wife nor hav-
ing seen the place. When went with
out my wife) to make final arrange
ments for taking possession, Lady B
was still living in the house, and she
told me that if did not mind she pro-
posed putting me for the night into a
bedroom which she herself usually &C.
cupied, and which for some time past
had been haunted by "a little lady,"
who continually appeared in it. AS 1
was somewhat skeptical upon such
matters l replied that l should be de-
her ghostly visitor, and l accordingly
slept in the room, but no such visitor
appeared to me,
Subsequently, upon my wife's arrival
at the house, she, to her great astonish-
ment, found it to be the counterpart Of
, her dream house, and on inspecting it
from hall to attic every detail appeared
to correspond. But on descending
| again to the hall she said: NO. this
cannot be the house, after all, as in my
dream there was another suite of rooms
on that side, which Is missing here"
She was at once told that there was
sllcl a suite of apartments, not ap-
rrouchcd from the hall, and on being
taken over them she recognized every
room. She, however, said that a bed
room in this suite appeared in her
dream to be sitting-rOom, and it ap-
reared that this had been the case, but
that the arrangement had just been al
tered.
A day or two after, my wife and l
met Lady b, and l introduced the
two ladies to each other, as they had
not previously been acquainted In
SANITY Lady b exclaimed: "Why,
you are the lady who haunted my bed
room." l have no explanation to offer
nor had my wife during the rest of her
life, as to what some might call a re.
markable coincidence, and what would
be called i'll the Highlands a case of
Second sight" Certainly my dear wife
was the last person in the world to
give undue license to her imagination,
and, further I can vouch for the fact
and so can other members Of my fam.
lily, that she did undoubtedly describe
accurately a house which had some
rather remarkable arrangements, and
this long before she or any other mem,
bers Of the family were even aware
that such house really existed"

CHAPTER NJ

Alone the prisoner remained until noon,
and then his dinner was brought by an
Indian whom he had not before seen. He
asked no questions, but allowed the mes
senger to go and come in silence. An
hour afterwards the door was again
opened, and this time the light, airy form
of the Princess Coqualla entered the pris-
on. White Hand Immediately arose and
moved towards her.
my white brother is safe, and Co
qualla Is glad" the princess uttered, as
she took the profered hand.
"Ah, fair princess" exclaimed the
youth, with some sadness In his tone;
'but how long shall be safe?"
'As long as you wish. But listen. The
Natchez speak plainly when they have
anything to say, for they would be quick
ly understood. My father has promised
to kill thee. and in one way alone can
he forego his pledge. He will not kill
his own son-in-law."
The dusky princess trembled as she
spoke, and her head was bowed. But
White Hand understood her. He gazed
a few moments upon her downcast face,
and he wondered at her extreme beauty.
She was dark. but the youth had seen
faces In his own land much darker. but
never had seen a smoother, fairer skin,
nor features more faultlessly regular and
beautiful. He started at her words, but
It was with a strange. thrilling start, and
a troubled, perplexed look worked upon
his face.
"CoQualla," he said. thou art the only
daughter Of thy father?"

Bislnarck's Big Brain,

Prince Bismarck's brain, according to
the fiattering estimate Of the anthropol-
ogist, Otto Ammon, was probably the
heaviest known to anatomical science.
Herr Ammon, in consultation with
Prof. Schafer, the sculptor, concluded
from the measurements taken for
Schafer's bust that the brain of the
old stateman weighed 1857 grammes,
and consequently exceeds in weight
that of any known genius. Cuvier's
brain weighed 1880 grammes, Byron's
1907. Krant's 1850. Schiller's 1880,
and Dante's 1,420. The average weight
Of the brain Of an intelligent Euro
pean is only 1880 grammes.
