demonstrated with her, but the
wifely pilfering confined, and
serious quarrels followed.
Last night Rodney determined
to break up his wife's practice,
put a small but strong rat trap
in his money pocket, with jaws
toward the opening.
He was awakened shortly af-
ter midnight by his wife's loud
screams, and, jumping out oi
bed discovered her hand tightly
wedged in the jaws Of the steel
trap.
The woman begged to be re-
leased, but Rodney allowed hel
to suffer for while before free
ing her. Her hand was badly
lacerated.

How to See Four Moons.

= a sprettye Experiment can BE
made with a hand mirror any
night when there is "a full moon.
Hold the mirror so. that the
moons image will be seen in it
and you will be surprised to see
four moons instead of one. One
moon will be very bright, but
the other three will be in
straight line and quite dull, one
dull image on one side of the
bright moon and the other two
on the other side. Turn the
mirror around slowly, still hold
ing its face to the moon. and the
reflections will seem to revolve
around a common center.
You can make the same expert
ment with any one of the very
bright stars, such as Sirius, We
nus or Jupiter, but with these
there will be three images in
stead of four, as the number
seen depends on the breadth of
the object.
The explanation is simple.
There are two surfaces in a mir.
ror, one in front and the other
where the quicksilver is. The
brightest reflection comes from
the object itself, the others are
what is known as secondary
images" reflected from the front
to the back of the mirror ant
thence to the eye. The magic
mirror never fails to excite 9
good deal of wonder and is ar
interesting experiment as we'll

Had it all Figured Out.

Lord Sholto Douglas, who was
arrested recently in Maine
through an error, was congratu-
lated at a Portland hotel on the
courtesy he had shown in par
doning the erring Maine police.
"Why shouldn't | pardon
them?" said Lord Douglas,
laughing. They did their duty.
Their calculations were wrong,
that is all.
II admit that their calcula-
tions were aDsurdly wrong. They
reminded me of a young lady |
used to know when | lived in
the west.
"This young lady, whose fami-
ly was we'll to do, announced to
her father one night that she was
going to marry a penniless man.
" If you marry him. her faith
er grumbled, 'how on earth will
you liveT
" Oh said the girl confident
ly, I'VE have figured that all out
and it is very simple. You know
that black hen | bought last
week?'
" Yes. What of it?'
q" Well, | have consulted the
best poultry circulars, and they
all agree that good hen will
raise 20 chicks a year. That
means the next season | shall
have 81 hens. These at the sea-
sons end, each having raised her
20 young, will give me 420 in all.
The next season there will be 81
400, the next season 1853, 700, and
the next 100000. Just think
of that! With chickens at so
cents apiece we will then be
worth 1885, 900. SO you see,
papa, you needn't worry about

Two Stories of the Quake.

AL Field, the minstrel, tells
the following stories, giving the
first, which is an old one, a San
Francisco setting:
While there were many sad
features to the San Francisco
disaster, it had its funny side as
well. Every day some laughable
incident is related as having ia
ken place during the trembling
of the earth on the Pacific coast.
sit was during the seismic
disturbances in Frisco" runs
Fields story. The ground was
trembling viciously and an old
darkey, panic striker, ran from
his cabin on the outskirts OF the
city. He dropped on his knees
in the road and cried out, 'Oh
Lordy, Lordy, sem yo' son down
yere. Sumpin terrible am gwine
ter happen in a minute At
that instant the earth trembled
again and two small brick build
ings on the opposite side of the
street fell with crash. The
old darkey dropped to the ground
again and cried out louder than
before. ooh Lordy, Lordy, doan
you SEN 20 son down yere. Yo'
come we're yoself. Dis amt
gwine ter be no chile's play"
Another story told by Mr..
| Field is of a parrot imprisoned
in it's cage on top of a wagon
with load of household effects
The owner was hunting shelter
for his family. The outfit, from
1.-the harsse fusiAAe parrot, showed
only too bgaialy the unhapp,
condition Nf the family. The
forlorn expression on the face Of
the head of the family, as he
trudged up the hill beside the
slowly moving wagon, reflected
in the appearance of the parrot
AS the. wagon passed a cornei
where were stationed a crowd Of
as equally unfortunate sufferers
the parrot said: "We're in ;
hell of a fix.n

A Pocket Sewing Machine.

The inventor of the pocket
sewing machine-quite a unique
and ingenious continuance, by
the way-was Sallie A. Rosen-
thai, of Dubuque, Iowa. 1t is a
thoroughly practical affair, and
will do very good sewing; but it
has never become popular, main
ly because the ordinary sewing
machine is more convenient.
Mrs. Rosenthal's continuance is
small enough to be kept in a
pocket; it can be operated with
one hand: and, rs she said in her
application for a patent, it may
be utilized during pauses in the
conversation when women are
chatting together" But there
are never any pauses under such
circumstances, and demand for
the device has consequently been
lacking. -Technica World Maya

Designs Patented by Women.

Not a few designs--some of
them cleverly contrived-of fire

women. Others have planned

other domestic aids; a thermome-

warning when the temperature
reaches certain figure, balco-

Lincoln's Miracle.

A great deal of curiosity and
comment was aroused by the
Lincoln log cabin as it passed
through the different cities of
the east on its way from New
York to its final resting place in
Kentucky, says the Baltimore
News. Many curious anecdotes
are told of the trip, one of which
was recounted with keen relish
at the Belvidere the other day
by Capt. N. S. Bullitt, of COM
pany A, first Kentucky infantry,
who was in charge of the detail
of five privates that guarded the
relic on its way south.
The car on which the cabin
rested stood on a railroad siding
in Philadelphia, when Quaker
City man, who had exhibited
great apparent interest in the
cabin, approached Capt. Bullitt
with a timid question.
$50 that is really the Lincoln
cabin?n he asked.
"The zeal thing" responded
the captain.
And Lincoln was born in
there?"
"Well, WE'LL" said the ques-

C0URTEsIES.

Much of the pleasures of social
intercourse depends upon a strict
observance Of the little courtesi-
es and amenities of life. Too
many save their sweetest smiles
and choicest words and incest at
tentions for strangers, while
their friends are off with the
most meager crums of considera-
ton and politencss.
This is nothing but miserable
piece of acting, and whoever as
sumes the role is found out SOON
er or later. 1t is in the home
that all that is best in life should
be diffused. There should be
kindness, forbearence, gentle
manners and loving forethought.
Not to strangers, but to the near
and dear ones should the treas
ures of life be distributed. Then
when one goes out into the world
he is his own natural self.
When he does a noble deed, or
gives to others all elevating
thought, he but gives expression
to a nature enriched by the Guilt

walton of the pure and good and

walton of the pure and good and
true.
Depend upon it that there is
habit in manners as we'll as in
tastes and morals. One cannot
be a boor at his own Preside and
a gentleman at his neighbours.
One cannot be a tender, charit-
able, sympathetic woman abroad
if she is a snarling, querulous
creatuse in her own home.
Mrs. Grundy. (Tracy City, Tenn.) 1903-1930, 1906-10-18
Quotations From George Elliot.

Plainness has its peculiar
temptations quite as much as
beauty.
We must not always ask for
beauty when a good God has
seen fit to make an excellent
young woman without it.
We can all be servants of God
wherever our lot is cast, but he
gives us different sorts of work
according as He fits us for it, and
calls us to it.
Surely it is not true blessed
ness to be free from sorrow while
there is sorrow and sin in the
world; sorrow is a part of love,
and love does not seek to throw
it off.
If the cross comes to you as
a wife, you must carry it as a
wife. You may say, will for
sake my husband; but you can
not cease to be a wife.
Marriage is a sacramental vow
from which none but God re-
leases you.
Mighty love had laid his hand
upon her, but what had he de-
handed? Acceptance of rebuke,
the hard task of self-change,
confession, endurance.
A woman, let her be as good
as she may, has got to put up
with the life her husband makes
| for her.
She who willingly lifts up the
veil of her married life has pro-
famed from sanctuary into a
vulgar place.
What furniture can give such
finish to room as tender wo,
mans face.
Half the sorrows of women
would be averted, if they coult
repress the speech they know Il
be useless-nay, the speech the,
had resolved not to utter.
She had been on the verge o
speaking Gas one of the foolisl
women speaketh, telling frs
and entreating silence after.
1t is surely better to pardon
too much than to condemn to,
much.
That excellent thing in woman
"a soft voice, with clear, fluen
utterance.
A real fine lady does not wea
clothes that flare in peoples eye
or use importunate scents, o
, make noise as she moves, sh,
is something refined and grace
full, and charming, and never ob
trus've.
She is grace itself-that il
, what a woman ought to be. Sh,
) ought to produce the effect o
exquisite music.
We can only have the highes
