residents of Harwick. Captain Nicker-
son, as he was called, was man Of
means and very shrewd. Joe was less
fortunate. One day the captain met
Joe and said, "Come over tonight"
Joe did so, and as soon as he entered
the captains home the captain took
him into distant room, closed all the
windows and doors securely and said:
"Now, Joe, 1 will tell you the secret
Of getting rich and you can pay me
$25. Be saving, Of course, and when
you do make bargain with any one
be sure that no one hears you, and then
If you get the worst of it or want to
back out you can. Now hand me the
$25."
Joe thought a second and then said,
did any one hear us make this bar
gain, captainT'
"Not SOUL" replied the captain.
"Well, then,' Joe said, Il guess I'll
begin on you.'-Boston Herald.

The True Test Of Oysters.

The best oyster experts that know
Of said the captain Of an oyster boat,
fudge an oyster by the smell instead
Of by the taste. There is something
about the smell Of any oyster that in
dicates It's condition to me much plain
er than does the taste. People buy
them and eat them probably on ac-
count Of their taste. So also do they
buy tea, coffee and the various grades
of whisky and brandy for their TASTE
but all experts on those things pass
upon them entirely by their smell. The
professional tea faster or whisky tast-
er, so called, never tastes them, but
simply arrives at their taste by their
peculiarities of flavor or, to speak
plainly, smell. l can tell what price
load Of oysters will be rated at when
they arrive at the wharf here by open
ing up the hold of the boat and smell
ing In eight cases out Of ten I am
right. 1t strikes oystermen as strange
when they see persons going about
from boat to boat, as they lie at the
wharf, tasting oysters before they con-
clude to buy. Taste is all right, but
If they don't smell right they will never
taste right" -Washington Star.

Star Rays.

What causes the rays or pencils of
light that seem to be thrown out by
every star when seen by the naked
eye? A German scientist finds that all
stars show precisely the same rays,
but that in the case of the brighter
stars the rays are palmer and some
what longer. 1t is further remarked
that the rays seen by the left and right
eyes differ, and that If the head be
turned the rays are rotated in a CORE
spending manner. 1t is thus concluded
that the source of the rays is not in the
stars, but in the eye itself, the middle
Of the retina being not perfectly homo
geneous in it's sensitiveness.

American Tourists ind Their Wa


English people, as a rule, try to en-
ter hotel drawing room or any other
public place as quietly as possible and
endeavor not to interfere with the
other occupants Of the room more than
they can help. A party of French or
Germans will never dream Of stopping
to consider whether their piercing
voices are deafening their neighbors,
while Americans have a particularly
maddening habit Of reading their cor
respondence aloud in public without
the slightest regard to other people
who are reading or conversing in the
same room. It is no doubt part of the
same lack of breeding which leads
them to hold conversations at the top
of their very penetrating voices not
only in public picture galleries, but
also in continental churches, without
paying any attention to the fact that
solemn service may be going on
within a few yards of them.-London

How n Horse SleeDs.

Horses always point one ear forward
when they sleep. Exactly why it is
done no human being can tell, but the
probability is that the practice is a
relic of the time when they were wild
and obliged to be on their guard even
when asleep. Cattle, on the other
hand, are apparently Indifferent as to
the position of their ears while Sleep
ing, but no odds what position they
are in both are always pointed alike
Ask some observing horseman if it is
not a fact that a horse always throws
one ear forward when he sleeps.

A Human Nose Two Feet In Length.
Elephantiasis is peculiar form of
leprosy in which the limbs and features
swell to horrible proportions and out
of all semblance to the legs, arms and
faces Of human beings. Cases are
known where the legs have become so
swollen that they measured AZ feet
in circumference. The ears Of the same
victim, Walter Brisbane, an English
sailor, were eighteen inches in length,
and his nose elongated to upward of
two feet when in the last stages of the
horrible malady.-LOndon Telegraph.

Small Wreck in Yards.

There was a small. sized wreck
in the yards of the M. & I. rail-
way company this morning, near
the bridge across the Lake Irving
outlet. There was a collision,
with the result that one engine
was damaged somewhat and tie
rear trucks derailed, leaving the
track closed to traffic. The
morning passenger from the
north stopped the other side OF
the bridge and unloaded the
passengers with but little incon
venience, and beyond scare and
slight damage to the engine,
there was nothing serious abous
the affair, although "Bob''
Chesney was given a roll down

hair slightly disheveled.
A Curious Coincidence.
The story of queer coincidence is
told by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. While
travelling upon the continent he visited
a certain mountain inn, which was in
winter, he learned, occupied only by
two men. These men, prisoned in a
waste of snow and ice, had for all that
period no communication with the
world below. Here was a situation for
a novelist! And the novelist accord
ingly began to let his imagination play
about the possibilities of tragedy sur
tain height. But the story was never
written, for, happening to come upon
a volume of Guy de Maupassant, which
was new to him, he found therein, un-
der the title of "L'Auberge," the very
story he had meant to write.

Russia Moves Slowly.

Observers of the west were some
what surprised that the dissolution Of
the douma was not Immediately fol-
lowed by a popular uprising or an i'm
mediate panic In Russian securities.
They forgot that Russia Is an agricul-
tural continent rather than a kingdom,
that its capital is fettered in bonds Of
steel, that its swiftest means Of inter
nal communication are in the hands OF
the government alone, and that, with
Its douma suppressed, its people, the
peasantry especially, have no organ
through which their united will can be
expressed. From the moment Of the
convocation Of the states general the
people of France were never without
mouth, and until the bronze artillery
officer shot down the sections" they
were never without an "army Of revo-
luton" The Russian people move
heavily and may take years before
their general will Is effective, their
movement being that Of the glacier
rather than the avalanche. Still they
are moving.-London Spectator.
