In the Sailors home in Brooklyn
navy boys deposit for safe keeping In
the course of a year many thousands
of dollars. Some time ago one OF
them after being paid off at the end
of his enlistment had 500. which he
deposited with the superintendent OF
the home-all but $50, with which he
intended to have a good time. Along
toward midnight he rathr ,..f IN h.

more. The superintendent handed
him two one dollar bills. and the SAIL
or went off apparently satisfied. The
following morning he dropped in and
requested the superintendent to give
him the balance Of his money, AZ ne
was going home. The superintend-
ent offered him $648.

THE KNocKER-Mrs.S S. T. Rorer the
well-known culinary expert, gave a
dinner recently to a cooking class OF
young married women.
Mrs Rerer enlivened this excellent
dinner with a number Of stories about
cooking.
II am making" she said, "a collec-
ton of cooking stories, and some day,
perhaps, will publish them all in a
book. I am continually adding to my
stock. Only yesterday new cooking
story was told me by dispirited young
wife.
This young wife, who had never
cooked so much as a beefsteak in her
life, all of a sudden bought a cook
book, entered her kitchen and plunged
into the construction Of an elaborate
and dificult veal pie.
"The pie, a strange looking object
was served to her husband, caustic
person, that night at dinner. He helped
himself, tried a mouthful and then
said:
What's this?"
"A meat pie" said the wife. Il made

JUsr1F1ABLE DISCRETION. - Timothy
Woodruff says that in a town up
the state" there are two Irishmen who
for some time have been on bad
terms with each other. Not long
ago Flaharty had, according to the
notions Of his friends, been the re-
cipient Of what could be deemed
nothing else than an insult from the
other Irishman. So they urged upon
him the desirability Of vindicating
his honor by promptly chastising his
ancient enemy.
But It would appear that Flaharty
was a man Of some prudence, for,
said he. hes more than me equal.
Look at the size of him! The mans
a giant!"
VERY WELL" replied a friend, dis
gusted by Flaharty's exhibition OF
weakness, lave him go-that Is. II
you're wantin' people goin' about say

harty ulacidly. AT any rate. I'd

JUDGE AND JURY.-n 1888 a man
was charged In Victoria with having
killed another man with a sandbag,
and in the face of the judges sum-
ming up, the jury brought in a YER
dict Of not guilty. This annoyed the
chief justice, Sir Matthew Begbie,
who at once said:
Gentlemen Of the jury, mind, that
Is your verdict, not mine. On your
conscience will rest the stigma of re-
turning such a disgraceful verdict.
Many repetitions Of such conduct as
yours will make trial by jury a hor-
rible farce and the City Of Victoria
a city of immortality and crime. Go,
l have nothing more to say to you"
And then, turning to the prisoner,
the chief justice added: You are
discharged. Go and sandbag some Of
those jurymen. They deserve it,"

Cleaning the Capitol.

For the first time In nearly half
a century the rotunda Of the capitol
building is receiving a coating Of
thick white paint. The dirt has been
collecting on the sloping sides Of
the great dome ever since 1855. A
few nervy painters are facing death
by scraping off the layers Of dust
and dirt, clinging like flies to the
steel walls 200 feet above the stone
flooring.
Elliott Woods, the superintendent
of the capitol, had a lot of trouble
finding men willing to tackle the job
of cleaning the dome. Aside from
the risk of slipping from the frag-
lie and tiny scaffolding there is the
danger of contracting deadly disease
by inhaling dust. The particles of
dirt, in some places two inches thick,
are breathed into the system and
cause acute stomach troubles and
giddiness. The men work with faces
muff1ed up in wet rags. but even
this precaution is not sufficient to
protect them fully.
The spectacle of the painters work.
ing so high in the air has caused no
end of ''rubber-necking" among
tourists visiting the capitol. The
carelessness displayed by the work.
men, straining on tiptoe to reach a
distant part of the dome, with moth
ing between them and certain death
but a tiny plank, frequently causes
the watchers to shudder and move
hurriedly on. These workmen are
the same crew that last year cleaned
and painted the exterior Of the
dome Of the capitol.
1.-The essential thing for work Of
this sort" said the foreman the
other day, 'is nerve. The workmen
are all young. between 20 and 80
years old. 1t is rare to find man
in this work who is over forty
years old. 1t takes young, fearless
spirit with quick eye and hand. and
we find old men have little taste
for it. This is one of the most
difficult jobs of painting in the
country. One of the reasons 1t is so
difficult is that the scaffolds are un-
usually light They are only about
three feet wide and hold two men.
so that when workman looks
down he sees the floor below on both
sides of him. He realizes that a
single misstep will send him head
long. 1t is on scaffolds like this
that a mans nerve is tested. Most
of the scaffolding you see on high
wide. SO that a man may walk
about freely and will not see the
ground under him all the time"

are wondering IL your mule Is going to
make a misstep and launch you over
cliff that is full 1000 feet high or deep,
just as you may prefer to call 1t, the
guide, no matter which one Of doz-
en- he is, invariably turns in his saddle
and asks the members of the party be-
hind him, individually and collectively:
why is the Grand Canon like the
hands?"
No one knows. Thereupon the guide
answers:
Because tourists (two wrists) sup
port It,"
Thereupon the visitor Is expected to
laugh uproariously, II he plays his part
properly. Even the mules stop when
this conundrum is put, and when the
guide gives the answer they invaria-
bly, place their front feet upon the very
edge Of the precipice and heehaw. hee-
haw, heehaw until the traveller takes
the hint and joins all the rest Of the
donkeys In the merriment. When you
go down In the Grand Canon II Is well
to keep the guide in good humor.
One of the many creeks running
down into the Grand Canon Is called
Bright Angel Creek. There are many
legends connected with the name of
this stream.
One Of them, not commonly known,
ls that it was named by a party of
prospectors who had become lost In the
canon. They had gone down into the
broad reach Of table land, half way
down the great chasm, and could not
find their way either up or down. Their
provisions and water gave out.
Finally one Of the party became al
most insane. He kept crying for water
and continually urged those who were
carrying him to press on. At last they
came to a point around which 1t seemed
impossible to Chamber.
The sick man suddenly said he saw
a vision. 1t was that Of bright angel
who motioned the party on. The 9TH
eIS SIMPLY ie6diuco tihS 10 sNS AS'f''o
Of a crazy man. lie was so insistent,
however, that they made another effort
to round the point.
Finally, all succeeded in rounding
what was thought to be an impossible
obstacle and there, within a few feet
Of them, was a beautiful creek. Their
lives were saved, and they named 1t
forthwith Bright Angel Creek.
This is a pretty story, In striking
contrast to those Of the guides, al
though there Is probably no more truth
in 1t than In some Of Hance's yarns
The traveller will find that there Is
heap more than an enormous chasm In
the earth at the Grand Canon.
