A Curious TabIecIoth.

The German emperor owns a curious
tablecloth presented long ago by the
women of Sleswick- Holstein. 1t is en-
tirely worked over with moral sayings
that include the following: do not be-
lieve all you hear; do not say all you
know: do not do all you would like"
"Wilt thou here have spass (fun)-be
careful with thy glass;" First weigh
and consider, then dare" German
house, German land-guard it, God,
with mighty hand" "Contentment is a
rare art"

Song of the Flame.

Fire can be made to sing. A writer
says: Take lighted candle and blow
gently against the fame You will hear
a peculiar futtering sound. The flutter-
ing sound is fires first attempts at mu-
sic. Instead Of the unsteady breath Of
our lips let us employ the steady blast
of blowpipe. Instead Of the pale and
Pickering light of candle let us use
the bright and ardent glare of chem
lists lamp. When you have lamp and
blowpipe you can make fire sing in
earnest"

I shall not succeed"
On the first evening of their arrival
at their hotel the bride retired, and
the groom fell in with a whist party,
with whom he sat playing cards till
o'clock in the morning His wife spent
the weary hours in weeping.
At last he turned up and met his
grief stricken bride with the hilarious
question:

She never referred to the subject
again, and everybody in future knew
that they had just been married

There Is One Thing In Its Favor-It
is Usually Beneficial.

Is Usually Beneficial.
''Of all the habits the one that sticks
closest to fellow is the electricity
habit" said a young doctor. .'The drink
habit and the cocaine habit are mere
summer fancies compared with it. But
there is one thing to be said in its ia
vor-it is usually beneficial. The cleo
tricity habit is contracted just like any
other habit. A few currents are admin
istered during an illness. They strength
en- and stimulate, and the first thing
the patient knows he finds the tonic in
dispensable Even after he gets well
he Graves the treatment l know one
young woman who makes a fair living
by calling at the homes of electricity
victims and dosing them with few
shocks from a galvanic battery. Most
slaves to the habit have their own bat
teries, but they are afraid to apply the
treatment to themselves. That is prac-
tically a groundless fear, for there isn't
one chance in a thousand of person
giving himself an overdose Still they
prefer an experienced hand to manage
the current. Not all the electricity
fiends are invalids by any means.
Many of them are now as well as they
ever were, yet they have become so adj
dicted to the habit that they require
the. weekly, semiweekly or possibly
daily electric thrills to tone them up

Process by Which Their Crop Is Pre-
pared For Market.
As soon as the sponges are brought
aboard they are thrown in heaps on
deck near the scuppers, where the
barefooted sailors tramp and work out
the ooze; then, strung on lines, they
are soused over the side and trail over
board some ten hours during the night
To break and separate from them she'll
fish and other parasites they are beat
en- with heavy sticks on deck or on the
reef rocks off Tripoli, and after being
well soaked in the sea again many are
bleached by being immersed in a tub
Of water containing certain solution
Of oxalic acid, from which they emerge
a yellowish color, care having been
taken to avoid burning them.
Often great strings of sponges bleach
ing and drying in the sun cover large
portions of the standing rigging of
deposit boats when in port. When dry
they are worked up In sand, then pack
ed In boxes ready for shipment. A
quarter to a third of the crop is sold
direct from Tripoli, mainly to England
and to France and Italy. The bulk Of
the crop, unbleached and unprepared,
is taken at the close of the season to
the islands from which the boats came,
where long experience, manipulation
and cheap labor prepare them for the
European market.-Charles Wellington
Furlong In Harper's Magazine.

Not only does the speaker of the
house Of commons enjoy the material
benefits of a lordly residence at West
Minister palace, a salary of $4,000 q
year, f100 year for stationery and
two hogsheads of claret and 1000
ounces of plate on election, but he en-
joys the less substantial advantage of
taking precedence of all other com
moners. BY an act of 1889 it was pro

THE KISS IN THE TUNNEL
The Way a Man Had Revenge For an
Act of DiacOurtenY

The Way a Man Had Revenge For an
Act of DiscOurtesy.
Courtesy always pays; discourtesy
never does," said a famous Frenchwo-
man. Let me tell you a story of an
actual happening:
Two women occupied a compartment
in railway carriage with one man, a
stranger They We're extremely rude
to this man. In whispers that he could
overhear they criticised his costume,
his figure and his manner. He to be
revenged, did a singular thing.
The blackness of a tunnel envel-
oped the ear, and under cover Of the
darkness the man kissed the back of
his hand loudly and repeatedly. Then
when the train entered the light again
be looked from one woman to the other
with significant smile.
"They exchanged glances of suspi-
cion.
Was it you he kissedT
"'No; of course not. Was it your
''And neither lady would believe the
others denial, and each in her inmost
heart believed the other had encour-
aged the kiss. The man looked cool
and complacent. When finally he rose
to go he said, lifting his hat with a
jocular air:
"'Have no fear, ladies. l shall never
tell which of you it was"

Most people believe that they see the
same with both eyes. That this Is not
the case one can easily convince him
self by the following simple expert
ment: Cover one of the eyes with a
hand or bandage and let the expert
menter attempt to snuff out a candle
suddenly placed within a few feet of
him. He will almost invariably miss
the fame, either overreaching. under
reaching or putting the fingers too far
to the right or left of the fame With
both eyes normal and open the accom-
mediation for distance and direction is

Sage Is nutritive, farinaceous sub
stance obtained from the plth of sew
eral species of palms growing in such
hot countries as Java and Sumatra.
The stem, about fifteen to twenty feet
long, is cut into pieces and the pith dug
out and placed in vessel having a
sieve bottom. Water poured into the
sleeves washes the -four thus exposed
into second vessel. When the water
is poured off and the residue becomes
dry it is known as sage -four. The pith
left behind forms what Is known as
common brown sage.
