Cauqht X, But

The ferry dock was crowded with
weary home goers when through the
crowd rushed a man, hot, excited,
laden to the chin with bundles of
every shape and size. He sprinted
down the pier, his eyes fixed on a
ferryboat only two or three feet out
from the pier He paused but an
instant on the stringpiece and then,
cheered on by the amused crowd, he
made flying leap across the inter
vening stretch of>water and landed
safely on the deck. A fat man hap
pened to be standing on the exact
spot on which he struck, and they
both went down with a resoundlng
crash. When the arriving man had
somewhat recovered his breath he
apologized to the fat man. Il hope
I didn't hurt YOU" he said. Il am
sorry. But, anyway, caught the
boat"
''But, you IDIOT" said the fat man,

When irving Was Turned Down.

Bran Stoker, who for many years
was connected with the manage
ment of the late Sir Henry Irving,
tells of an incident which occurred
during the players tour of the mid
die west,
1t appears that Irving, in order to
break a long jump from Chicago
to another city, was desirous of Sc
curing for one night the theater of
town in Indiana. Accordingly,
Stoker wired the individual, who
was both proprietor and manager OF
the playhouse in question, request
ing that Sir Henry be given d
nights engagement.
In a short while Mr. Stoker re-
ceived the following: Does Irving
parade" 2" When shown this, the
distinguished Briton was much
amused. He directed Stoker to re-
ply that Irving was a tragedian,
not minstrel"
The further reply came, Don't
want Irving unless he parades." !"

FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
Story Of How the First Oyster Came
to Be Eaten.

The story runs that man thrust
his foreiingcr into an open shell
he found on the seashore. The
oyster, whose shell il was, was very
angry and closed it on the fingers
pf the man. To- his astonishment
and pain. K took a great deal OF
wrenching TO libcrate the finger,
which was considerably injured III
the operation. The man put his
finger in his mouth 10 lessen the
pain and thus learned the taste.
Having learned il. he smashed all
the shells with stones and devoured
their contents. lie ate oysters until
he was completely filled. Afterward
whenever this man was hungry he
went TO the oystcr bank and from
being thin and wirv became fat and
rosy. His neighbors noted the
change and one day followed him to
his retreat near the sea. There they
learned the reason. and many of
them fell into the same habit. The
secret once ont, ii spread abroad
with great rapidity. The oyster eat
ing habit was inauguralcd and has
come down to Us.

The Star Arcturus.

1t is quite natural for the human
mind, which associates all thoughts
and makes all comparisons by earth
ly standards, to think of the inhab-
itants of some of the monster worlds
which are known to be whirling
through space as being giants of the
most gigantic kinds. Take the star
Arcturus as an Illustration. That
gigantic planet is 100000 miles i'll
circumference, or about $4,000
miles straight through from pole to
pole, or from equator to equator.
Our little world is only 5000 miles
in diameter, or $4,000 in circumfer-
ence. In fact, ii is such mere
pygmy compared with Arcturus that
it might fall into one of that plan
cts great lakes, whether they be
water or burning seas of gas, and
bury itself out of sight. We are apt
to think of these planets as being
inhabited, however much the chances
may be against such an assumption,
and to compare such supposed per-
sons to the size of the world upon
which they live. If Arcturhs is in
hahited and its people are built on
the same ratio that we are an aver
age Arcturian cannot fall much
short of being twelve miles in
heipht.

Laundering Fiannels So as to Preserve
Their Softness,

Make a lather out of soft, warm
water by shaving pure soap into the
water and letting it melt. To this
add two tablespoonfuls of ammo
MIA or one of borax to a small tub
full of suds. 1t should be quite
warm, not hot. Draw the fabric up
and down and squeeze it gently, nev.
.er rubbing it either upon the board
or with the hands. Neither should
the garment be soaked in water or
rubbed with soap. Soiled spots may
be lightly rubbed with small brush.
\ second tub of water the same
temperature as the first must be at
hand, in which the flannel is TO be
plunged after ii is squeezed from the
first. Proceed in the same manner
as before Ii it is freezing cold it
will ruin the flannel to dry it out
of doors. In this case or even if il
is not good driving day suspend it
near the heat in as dry room as
possible. The more quickly it dries
the better. Slow driving means full
ing and stiifening the fabric.

Would Try the Case.

Judge Aldrich was a confirmed
dyspeptic and noted for his asperity
on the bench. He had daughter
married to a. prominent lawyer in
Boston. On one occasion when the
Judge was on the bench in Boston
a case was to be tried where his
son-in-law was counsel for the plain
tiff. He wrote to the lawyer for the
defendant, supposing that he knew
of the relationship, and suggested
postponement on account OF Judge
Aldrich being the presiding judge.
He was somewhat surprised. to
say the least, to get in reply the fol-
lowing: 81 hate the old cuss as bad
as YOU do, but will try the case just

No shouting is allowed, as it pre-

LIFE AND SLEEP.

One of the newest fads of the
medical world is the sleep cure. Ac-
cordlng to the physician who has
sought to introduce his ideas among
the Parlsisns, one sleeps entirely
too little. 1t is his argument that
one lives certain length of time
and that this time, sickness not con-
sidered, is extended over a long or
short period, according to the tenn
perament of the person. He cites
in support of his theory the longey-
ity of the negroes and declares that
they attain ripe old age simply
because they sleep when work IS
not absolutely essential. His treat
ment consists of sending his patient
TO bed and making him sleep. Eight
hours a day one may leave his bed
and mingle with the world as he
pleases, but not only V must the other
sixteen be spent in bed. but the pa
tient must actually be asleep

A Preference For Staanant Water.

The Arabs in the deserts have
contracted strange prejudice
against running water and will only
drink what they find in some stag
nant pool. So much has this be-
come matter of habit with them
that, while the most poisonous look
ing water agrees with them admira-
bly,, pure running water will make
them violently sick in the course
Of a few hours. This prejudice is
shared bv most of the lower animals
and is often acquired by European
travellers in Africa. At first the
stagnant water produces nausea and
even fever, but when once the sys-
TEN is Injured to it running water
affects them in precisely the same
way that it affects the Arabs.-Lon-
