The Reason Was Plain.

There was a woman" said a law
yer, whose husband was killed In
railroad accident. The railroad, to
avoid suit gave her $1,000 damages.
The sum satisfied the woman, but a
month or two afterWard, taking up
newspaper, she read bout a man who
had lost his leg in the same accident,
and, behold. this man was given by
the company damages to the amount Of
$500. It made the woman mad. She
fastened at once to the Office OF the
railways claim adjuster. She said
bitterly:
"'How is this? Here you give
man $500 for the loss of his leg,
while you only gave me $1,000 for the
loss of my husband
"The claim adjuster smiled amiably
and said in soothing voice:
"'Madam, the reason is quite plain.
The $500 won't provide the poor
man with new leg, whereas with
your $4,000 you can easily get new
husband and perhaps better one.' -

London Theater. Charm.

One Of the delicious treats London
offers Americans is the acting and ac-
cessories Of her theaters. The or
chestra stalls or balcony stalls are very
sumptuous and very roomy and are
evidently created on purpose to ap-
peal to hearty diners. The usher is a
very tidy young woman in black dress
and coquettish cap and apron, pos
lsessed Of a sweet face and still sweet
er voice. You pay her sixpence fo1
each programme. The stage settings
are. perfect in detail. Best Of all is the
elocution of the players. From the
rising Of the curtain even unto the go.
ing down of the same, each and every
word uttered Is as clear and tuneful as
the tinkle Of a silver bell. You don't
have to wait till the middle Of the first
act before you can even guess what
the plot is about. Under these unusual
circumstances the interest one takes in
play is greatly enhanced, and he
wonders why an American company is
not as we'll drilled.-Travel Magazine,

Incidental Music.

One afternoon couple from an ad-
Joining town presented themselves to
Boston divine and asked to be mar
ried just as he was about to enter the
pulpit to conduct an afternoon service.
The minister replied that he regretted
that he could not at that moment COM
ply with their wish, but that immedi-
ately upon the conclusion Of the serv-
Ice he would take pleasure in perform
Ing the ceremony. The lovers, after
demurring, seated themselves in the
rear Of the church. When the minister
had finished the service he made the

A. Wond,kful Creature.

The polyp is the most remarkable
creature on earth. If cut transversely
or longit'1dinally into several parts,
each will become perfect animal.
Trembly turned them inside out and
they ate and enjoyed themselves as
much as ever He slit two Longitude
nally, placed the halves together and
united them into two animals. He
divided two transversely and created
one with two heads. He pushed one
down the throat of another, a third
down the throat of the second, and thus
formed a creature with three heads. -

Paternal Duties,

Modern life with it's haste and
hustle leaves too little time for the
joys of fatherhood. One father comes
home late from business, tired and
peevish, and cannot devote much time
to his children, even If he would. An
other has had enough of the cares and
worries Of the day and seeks dissipa-
ton outside the home. Yet fathers
can give their children something bet
ter than money; they can give them
selves.-Deutsche Monatschrift.
