Handle Work with GLOVES.

81 hope" said the woman who was
ordering a pair of slippers made of
Powered satin. that you will tell your
workman to wash his hands before he
begins to make these up"
Wash his handsv repeated the
clerk. why, madam, he never will
touch these with his bare hands,
Then the clerk explained that all work
men employed in making slippers of
light coIors worked with white gloves
on. ''Try to keep them cleanr' he con
tinued Il should say they did They
try so hard that they change their
white gloves three times a day.
Which is not so fantastic as 1t may
seem. for II a shoemaker soils material
Of this kind the expense to him of re-
placing the material, to say nothing OF
the loss of his time, makes it worth
his while to work In gloves and keep
them clean at that-New York Press.

There's story" said a drummer,
about a commercial traveller whose
line was tunnels and post holes for
fences. Him l never met. l did meet
once, though, a drummer selling iron
churches and suspension bridges. An
other time met a drummer who said
his line was pupils. What did he mean
by pupils? He meant, found, glass
eyes for stuffed animals, for dolls and
for human beings. One of this mans
favorite amusements was to open his
sample case and ask the people present
to pick out the eye that best matched
their own. The people made awful
mistakes In this, for nobody, it seems,
knows the color of his own eyes,

A story which used to be related
years ago had to do with an incident
which happened in Sierra county, Cal,
the principal actor in which was Judge
Searls of the district court.
The judge was on his way from
Nevada to Plumas county. At Downie-
vile there were two young lawyers
who had agreed to argue a motion
when the judge arrived. Then, as time
was pressing and both lawyers were
also going to Plumas, it was decided to
ride along and carry on the argument
by the way.
Up the mule trail from DOwnieville
to Monte Cristo, down to Oak Ranch
and so on to Eureka the argument pro-
ceeded At Eureka the case was exam
ined with the aid of refreshments, and
In due time decision was reached.
The loser consoled himself with the
thought that he had assembled the
mountain without being conscious of
the grade.
Possibly the mule felt it as usual
suggested the judge
81 think from the result that he, too,
was absorbed in helping to make up
the opinion" said the lawyer.

A Freak of Nature.


The most wonderful piece of nsAzaTaI
sculpture In the world may be seen by
any visitor to the Cape Verde islands.
This specimen Of natural art work is
without doubt the most colossal and
marvellous freak known to the geolo-
gists and geographers. San Vincente
is the principal town Of the islands.
AS the ship enters the harbor of the
above named place one sees a bold
ridge of dark volcanic rocks lying In
the distance The crest Of this ridge
forms an exact likeness Of Washing-
ton, the figure lying apparently face
upward, as if in sleep. The large,
bold features. the backward wave a
the hair, the rotund form of the mAs&
i've shoulders and even the frills on
his colonial shirt are reproduced on
scale of such magnitude and
grandeur as to be absolutely startling.
The fidelity of the outline is such that
the freakish forms assumed by the
stalactites and stalagmites In the we'll
known natural caverns are not suita-
BILE comparisons. This strange natural
monument to the greatest of American
heroes Is the first object to meet the
gaze of the observing sightseer as he
approaches the Cape Verde islands.
With the boundless ocean for its back
ground and the tropical sky overhang-
ing it, it is no fight of the Imagination
when we say that the freak forms a
tableau of overpowering magnificence.

Efforts were continually being made
in England to keep down the number
of inns. In the reign Of Edward I.
there were only three in the whole Of
London. Even in 1862 no more than
forty were legally permitted in the me-
tropolis, now spreading out Its bound
aries on every side. York might have
eight, Norwich, Exeter and Cambridge
four, Bristol six and Oxford three.
These regulations must have been set
at naught in very wholesale manner,
for half century later there were 400
"houses of calf in that part of London
known as the City and no fewer than
twenty-four clustered round Covent
Garden In medieval Oxford 1t was
ruled that no 'victualer'' was eligible
for the office of mayor, and this term
included an innkeeper.

Charles James Fox is probably the
only man who ever made a maiden
speech In the commons while still a
youth in his teens. He was nineteen
when he took his seat for Midhurst
and within a few months he had made
three excellent speeches. And yet
even at this early age Fox used fire.

Thackeray and Dickens.

This is the way George Henry LeweS
once characterized Thackeray and
Dickens in the way of service to q
friend; Dickens. he said, would not
give you farthing of money, but he
would take no end of trouble for you.
He would spend whole day, for in
stance. in looking for the most suitable
lodgings for you and would spare him
self neither time nor fatigue. Thacke-
ray would take two hours grumbling
indecislon and hesitation in writing
two line testimonial, but he would put
his hand into his pocket and give you
handful of gold and bank notes If you
wanted them.

Mothers may talk, work, struggle to
make their sons models by which to
shape a new heaven and a new earth.
But the boys world is In the man
who is his father, and the boy believes
that whatever may be right on Sun
days or at prayer times the things that
are really good, that really count In
life are what father does. Moreover,
it is what father does which defines
the means with which the boy shall
work, the sphere wherein his efforts
shall be shaped. In word, what ia
Their does is the beginning as 1t is the
end Of the boys achievements.-Har

Bowling is one Of our games that
originated in the middle ages. The ex-
act date of it's Introduction is obscure,
but it has been clearly traced TO the
thirteenth century. The first bowling
green's were made in England. In bad
weather these could not be used to adj
