The Planet Mars.

Il am certain Mars is inhabited, said
Camille Flammarion, "and probably by
people much more advanced than we
are. The year in Mars is twice as
long as ours that is to say, it really
consists of 730 days. The public at
large does not really know the preci-
sion of some of our astronomical OBJ
servations. Thus we know the length
of the day in Mars by diurnal rotation
to the one-thousandth part Of second,
and from observations, which have
now extended over 100 years, we find
the length of the day on the planet is
"a hours AZ minutes % seconds. The
climate of the Martians is very mild;
there are no gales, while the atmos-
phere Is very light, with scarcely any
clouds. The inhabitants enjoy fine
weather, the climate being dry and
clear. We know the globe of Mars per-
fectly; in fact, far better than the
earth''

The Polite Burr1ars.

1t is said that even the most gentle
manly of our burglars have much to
learn from Japan in the way of polite
ness, if one may judge by description
Of the manners of robbers in that coun-
try. Three men broke into a dyer's
house while he was away, and one of
them gently asked the wife how much
money there was in the place. She an
swered that there was just a little in
the house. The robber laughed and
said:
You are a good old woman, and we
believe you. If you were poor we
would not rob you at all. Now, we only
want some money and this placing
his hand on fine silk dress.
The old woman replied: "All my hus-
bands money can give you, but l beg
you viii not take that, for it does not
belong to my husband and was con-
fded to us only for dyeing. What is
ours l can give, but / cannot give what
belongs to another
THAT is quite right approved the
robber, and he Immediately withdrew
with his confederates.

WaInuts and Butternuts.

The city boy on visit to the country
is often puzzled in trying to distinguish
black walnuts and butternuts in the
green state The leaves are almost
alike, being compound and having a
variable number of leaflets arranged on
a long stem. The hutternut stem has
from nine to seventeen leaflets, and the
black walnut from fifteen to twenty
three. The teeth on the latter are larger
and sharper than those on the butternut
and lack the fuzzy stem, but the real
distinguishing feature is the odor. Hay-
ing once smelled the crushed leaves of
a butternut and black walnut, a per-
son can never fail to know them there
after. st. Nicholas.

She went to the table and scribble6V

brought it to him.

Or Agnes or Annie or Lefty,
But it's not, and I'll make a brave race
For the love Of the fair lady Nettie.
See how easy it is?'' she demanded
as he looked up.

Goodsell, Il think shall take to writ
ing poetry"
Nettie Ainsworth gave little laugh
as she settled herself more comfortably
in the big chair. Who ever heard Of
a poet with a waist line larger than his
chest measurement" she teased.
II say he cried, I'm not to blame
because I'm plump-am I ?"
You're not to blame. Gerry" she
laughed, but you cannot have indiges-
ton and the fires of genius within you
at the same time"
But I have splendid digestion, 2 he
persisted. -Four meals day never
feaze me-
Poets" counseled Nettie, never
have regular meals. When they lead
regular lives they cease to become gen
fuses
But that's all tommyrot,' he de-
elared loftily Il can be genius and
have the comforts Of life, can't I?''
IF you are a very great genius, Ger
ry, you may be able to live those handi.

APACHE SHREWDNEsS.
The Indians Bait Was Good, but the
White Man Didn't ssBite.'

The Indians Bait Was Good, but the
white Man Didn't ssBite.''
With the Apaches really brave
man does not stand as high in public
estimation as does a clever thief. His
chief excellence. from an Apache stand
point, lies in his ability to outwit the
white man, says Mr.. Ceremony, the au-
thor of Life Among the Apaches."
/ was sitting, says Mr. Ceremony, in
front of my tent, writing letter, when
a young Apache came up and asked
what I was doing. Ireplied was talk
Ing to my friend in Washington.
How can you talk to your friend so
far away?''
when an Apache wishes to talk of
speed to distant friend l answered,
.'he sends him a picture of bird; If he
talks of something sweet he sends
picture of a flower. Instead of pictures
the white man has these little signs
which all understand
The Indian took up the letter and
scrutinized it carefully.
Il do not believe you he said. You
try to make fool of me. These little
signs are all alike"
81 will give you proof. / will write on
this little piece of paper that the sutler
is to give you some tobacco. Go take it
to the store and see if l do not speak
the truth
The Indian snatched the paper and
was off A few minutes later I saw
him slowly coming toward me, a piece
of tobacco in his hand and look of be-
wilderment on his face. Suddenly his
expression changed to satisfaction. and
he hurried forward
Did yeu get the tobaccog' asked.
Eyes, but l do not believe you. You
and he had an understanding before SO
that you might deceive me. Now if you
will write some more of those little
signs on paper telling the sutler to give
me much more tobacco and if he does
then viii believe you.''
But the Indians ruse failed. did
not 'rise'' to the occasion.

locomotive Fie1ded Bali.

In the baseball annals of Texas, Bal
timore county, is an incident which,
whether an actual occurrence or not,
has been repeated so often that it is
invested with the force of fact.
On a hot Fourth of July back in the
eighties, when the catcher held his posi-
ton behind the bat without mask
and the pitcher knew of no curve OF toe
plate, there was a game Of ball be-
tween the Texas Sluggers and the I'll
monium Little Potatoes, but Hard to
Peel. The Sluggers had got in some
good stick work early in the game, and
the visitors were just feeling the big
Texas pitcher. It was the fifth inning,
and the Little Potatoes had two men
on the bases, one on second and the
other on first, when one of their home
run hitters, who had been asleep un-
til this moment, struck the ball 1t
cleared the entire field and would have
fallen on the railroad track, but just at
that moment a train came along, and
the bah disappeared in the smokestack
of the engine The train was going at
"a lively speed up grade, and the force
Of the puffs elected the ball. The mo-
mentum of the train carried it until 1t
fell in the third baseman's hands, and
a double play was the result. After
much kicking from the Little Potatoes
MS to whether the play was fair the side
was retired, as the double play made
three hands Baltimore Sun.
