Balance Man and His Peril.

Dearborn and Monroe streets were blockaded by an army of people who intently watched structural iron worker standing on five-ton steel beam swinging from a derrick seven stories up in space. From time to time the steel worker shifted his posi- tion on the beam. Every time he did so he blew whistle that he held be- tween his teeth. With this he signal ed the engineer, who controlled the derrick.
 Few of the thousands who saw the man knew his perilous position was due to a precaution taken for their safety. The steel worker was not on the beam solely because of his own daring. He was there to shift his 1SO pounds avoirdupois to balance the beam and keep it level and from fall ing into the street.
 Such an accident would result not only in his death, but might lead to frightful loss of life in the street. To prevent this the workman ascends on the beam to keep it level. In order to do this he has to step from side to side of the huge derrick cables as occa- sion requires Most workmen who "rde beams" never look down. On the contrary, they always keep their eyes on the cable at point even with their head. This guards against sea sickness. which frequently attacks one when at great heights with nothing more than foothold.-Chicago Rec. ord Herald.

Shows Value or Notes.

A well known minister is telling an anecdote about brother clergyman who was required unexpectedly to of ficiatc at the funeral of man con corning whom he knew nothing. When he arrived at the town where the de- ceased had lived he had just time to make few inquiries about his traits and achievements, the results of which he noted on Il memorandum. His eulogy at the service, as reported, was about as follows:
 "Our dear brother whom we mourn to-day, was a man of rare character and ability. He had the mental capac- ity of a"-referrlng to his notes Daniel Webster, the tact of a"- again consulting his memorandum "Henry Clay, the pertinacity of a"- another eference-"Ulysses s. Grant. We can only mourn him with q pro- found and sorrowful regret now that he has gone to meet his"-another reference to the notes-"God."

A Unanimous Election.

There was character out in what was then known as the toughest part of creation who went by the name of Big John. doubt if he ever had any other name. We had little settle ment we were going to make town out of and concluded that the first thing to do was to choose a marshal, which We proceeded to do. There were several candidates, Big John among them, and when the pieces of paper dropped into wide brimmed hat, Big John walked up, coolly took the votes and put them into his pocket and said: "This is the quickest way. All them as votes for me comes to this side" Not a man nesitated. It was the most unanimous election ever held. He made good officer, though, and we kept him in till we pulled up the town and moved on to the next terminus of the railroad.

Popular Food Fallacies.

It is doubtful whether any given food in common use contains constitu- ents which have selective action, so to speak, or the property of minister ing to one part of the body more than another. As rule, when q food is as- sumed to have specific reparative properties-as, for example, a so-call- ed brain or nerve food-the fact really is that such food Is easily and quickly assimilated to the body's general ad vantage; in word, in such q case re- pair quickly overtakes waste and real purposeful nutrition and restora tion are accomplished. A high medi- cal authority feels called upon to once more correct the erroneous popular impression that fish food ministers particularly to the brain, because it contains phosphorus. As q matter of fact, fish does not contain more phos- phorus than do the ordinary meat foods, and it certainly does not con tain it in free state. The notion that fish contains phosphorus had no doubt its origin in the glowing phosphores- cence of fish in the dark. This is who'll ly due to micro-organisms. The be- lief, therefore, that fish is a brain food is just about as reasonable as the idea that because soup is thick and gela- tinous "it will stick to the ribs" Fish, of course, is excellent food, partly be- cause of the nourishing nature of it's constituents and partly because of it's digestibility.

The old English Coffee Houses.

In 1857, we are told, the first coffee house had been prosecuted as nui- sance. In 170S there were three thou sand coffee houses, and each coffee house had its habitual circle. There were coffee houses frequented by mer- chants and stock jobbers carrying on the game which suggested the new nicknames bulls and bears, and coffee houses where the talk was Whig and Tory. of the last election and change of ministry, and literary resorts such as. the Grecian, where, as we are told, a fatal duel was provoked by a dis pute over Greek accent, in which, let us hope, it was the worst scholar who was killed, and Wills where Pope as a boy went' to look reverently at Dry den, and Buttons, where at a later period Addison met his little senate. Addison, according to Pope, spent five or six hours day lounging at But tons, while Pope found the practice and the consequent consumption of wine too much for his health. Thack- cray notices how the club and coffee house "boozing" shortened the lives and enlarged the waistcoats of the men of those days.

Lady Curxon as a Detective.

Lady Curzon, who was Miss Leltsr. Of Chicago, is a clever detective, and this incident could be made into an absorbing story by either Conan Doyle or Rudyard Kipling.
 A retired Indian judge tells it. He was dining at the vice-regal lodge one night and the conversation turned up- on a sensational murder trial which he was conducting at the time. After dinner Lady Curzon drew the judge aside and said:
 q know as an absolute fact that the man who is charged with that mur- der is innocent. Send detective to me and I will direct him to the house where the real murderer is now hid ing. I only. discovered the fact this afternoon, when was down there in disguise with one of our syces."
 Sure enough, the murdered was caught, as Lady Curzon had said, and the innocent man was released. This incident, becoming known, has made her very popular with the people of Calcutta, who are not used to Eng. fish "mem-sahibs" taking so much h. terest in their humble lives.

Not Remarkable.

A Massachusetts farmer says: My cattle will follow me until leave tlse lot, and on the way up to the barn. yard in the evening stop and call for a lock of hay"
 Smithson says there is nothing at all remarkable in that. He went into a barnyard in the country one day last week, where he had not the slightest acquaintance with the cattle, and all old bull not only followed him till he left the lot, but took the gate off the hinges and raced with him to the hous in the most familiar manner possible Smithson says he has no doubt that the old fellow would have called for something if he had waited little while but he didn't want to keep the folks waiting dinner, so he hung cue tail of his coat and piece of his pants on the bulls horns and went into the house.

Pass Death Watch Every Day.

"What are you doing sitting idllng while your fellows do all the work?" said the lawyer from the Stock Ex- change Building to the underground cable workman. The electrician was sitting on tool box beside manhole at Washington and La Sale streets when the lawyer interrupted nim. He looked up, and then with faint smile said:
 q am the death watch"
 Explain yourself. I do not under stand you"
 "Well, those men in the hole are constantly in danger of suffocation from sewer gas. If were in the hole I would run the same chance as they do. For their safety sit here in open air. am not in range of the gases. If one of them Is overcome I get busy, haul him into open air and call doc. tor. See"
 The lawyer "saw" and went about his business, admitting to himself that there were tricks in all trades, and this was one of the dangers which beset conduit men that he had never thought of.-Chicago Record-Herald

A Chance Missed.

A well-known doctor and certain minister are great friends, but they dearly love a joke at each others ex- pense. The latter once delivered se- ries of lectures, and one of them-on Palestine-was not interesting enough to please the audience, which gradu- ally withdrew before its conclusion. Not long afterwards the minister's house was entered by burglar. He gave graphic account of the affair to his friend, the doctor, and ended by saying: q had him flat on his back. I hoid him so that he could not move an inch"
 "Goodw exclaimed the other; "but, my dear sir, what splendid opportu nifty that was to have delivered to him your lecture on Palestine"

A Foolish Memorial.

A stone monument, weighing fifty tons, is being raised in the Schorfeide, near Zehdenick, Germany, on the spot where the Emperor stood when he kill ed his one thousandth stag. The stone bears the inscription: "Our most H. lustrious margrave and lord, Emperor William H., stood here on Sept. 20, Anno Domini. 1898, when staying his one thousandth stag of twenty tines"
 The Emperor is so versatile that if monuments were erected to commem- crate his achievements in other lines Germany would be studded with them. The places where he wrote his one thousandth poem and where he painted his one thousandth picture should be marked.

Hopeless Case.

The forgetful man was stepping jauntily along with smile on his cheerful face, when he was accosted by friend.
 Look here," said the man, "why in the world are you carrying two um- brellas?"
 "Why, let me think" said the forget full man. "Oh, yes, know how it happened. My wife wanted me to get her umbrella that's been mended and she thought I'd better bring along mine to remind me, it being pleasant day; and then I thought I'd better bring two in case stepped in any where and happened to forget one of them"

She Wanted an Experienced Artist.

A woman who had become suddenly rich was travelling in Europe, and while there it occurred to her that it was the proper thing to have her DOT trait painted by prominent artist. Accordingly she called at the studio in Paris of painter of high reputa- ton.
 "Will you kindly sit down and wait a few moments?" asked the attendant, when Mrs. Newrich had stated her er- rand.
 "Well, I'm in hurry. Is your mas ter busy?" she asked.
 "Yes, madam. He is engaged on a study"
 "On studyw exclaimed Mrs. New rich. "Well, no matter, I guess I won't wait. I shan't want him to paint my picture. want an artist who has got all through with his stud. iesy'-Success.

The Other Fellows Job.

The Other Fellows Job. There's craze among us mortals that is
 cruel hard to name, Wheresoe'er you find human you will
 find the case the same; You may seek among the worst of men or
 seek among the best, And you'll find that every person is pre-
 cisely like the rest. Each believes that his real calling is
 along some other line Than the one at which he's working
 take, for instance, yours and mine. From the meanest "me-too" creature to
 the leader of the mob, There's a universal craving for "the oth-
 CT fellows job." There are millions of positions in the
 busy world to-day, Each a drudge, to him who holds 1t, but
 to him who doesn't, play; Every farmers broken-hearted that in
 youth he missed his call While that same unhappy farmer is the
 envy of us all.
 Any task you care to mention seems a
 vastly better lot Than the one especial something which
 you happen to have got There's but one sure way to smother
 Envy's heartache and her sob Keep too busy, at your own, to want
 ''the other fellows job" Success.
