The Sleeping Baby "smile."

1t is interesting to see how old is
the maternal delusion about the smil-
ing of babies in their sleep. All chill
dren, asleep, are taken with a catch
ing of the corners of the mouth,
which is as unlike as possible to the
real smile-the humorous and de-
lightful little silent sketch of laugh,
appearing first at any age between
a fortnight and month. Yet hui
man sentimentality has insisted on
calling the sleeping grimace (due to
fiatulence) a smile, and even smile
caused by dreams of angels. And
Saint Monica must have been as un-
Ineligible on this point as any other
matron, for Saint Augustine, review
ing in his Confessions" the growth
of his own mind, mentions that he
had been told of the coming of infan-
tine smiles, having appeared pre-
viously to sleep" Thackeray echoes
st. Monica, for he shows us Amelia
sitting by her child, who was smi1-
ing in his sleep" No baby ever
smiled in his sleep yet, or is ever
likely to do so.

Chess as a Mind Drill.

When the Romans placed over the
door of the temple of Janus Eek
Oriente Lux ct Ludum Scacchorum"
(out of the East came light and the
game of chess they spoke of the two
greatest behests that the storied East
had ever made to the young and ag-
gressive West-the light of religion
and the greatest mental achievement
of man since he came through Eden's S
frowning portals.
In the middle ages when the monks
and abbots watched from afar the bru-
tai soldiery of Christendom swooping
down like a pes.ilence on the sunny
plains of the South they chanted "a
furore Normanorum liberia nos, o Do
mimic" (from the fury of the North
men deliver us, o God) and returned
to chess-all that was left noble soul
in vain and turbulent world.
Chess is the finest mental drillmas-
ter the world has ever known. AS a
mind trainer it ranks above Greek
and 6ialestics.
But above all is the science of bat
tie, it is war without bloodshed, 1t is
strife on equal terms, which all the
race loves and to which from the era
die to the grave all mortality is sub
tect.

FIVE FRANCS PER MouRhER.
Frenei1man Lett Instructions That
Each Should Be Paid.

G&Sn onou'd DC Fdios
At Etampes, near Versailles, strange
scenes were witnessed at funeral
recently, says Paris correspondent to
the London Telegraph. A rich bache-
lor of the locality recently died, leav-
ing large fortune to the parish and
dis.nheriting his relatives. In his
will there was inserted instructions to
the effect that each person attending
his funeral should receive 5 francs.
This was bruited abroad and as the
funeral was on the point of starting a
crowd Of the most INDECENT creatures
of the whole district appeared in sight.
It was arranged by the mayor and the
municipal councillors that all these
wretched people should receive some
money and that as many of them as
could be accommodated in cabs and
vans should attend the funeral. The
more able bodied mendicants, not
quite satisfied with the decision,
boldly took possession not only Of the
cabs and vans but also of six landaus
intended for the mayor, the town coun-
cilors and the sub-prefect. The beggars
we're threatened and then implored to
leave the landaus. but they only
laughed at the mayor and his friends.
who decided not to attend the funeral.
This moved of followed only by the
mendicants, who fairly enjoyed them
selves in the vehicles which they had
carried by assault. The mayor and
the councillors are now debating as
to the advisability Of distributing the
5 franc pieces bequeathed by the rich
bachelor only to the most deserving
among the INDECENT inhabitants Of
Etampes.

A Dinner Dilemma.

1t was an awkward dilemma In
which minister found himself a day
or so ago. He had accepted an invita-
ton to dine with 4 member of his
church, and rack his brain as he
might he could not fix the identity OF
the prospective hostess. At last, after
much mental exercise, he concluded
that the most likely person was Mrs.
A, and at the proper hour he touch
ed the bell button at her door, was
admitted, and hung up his hat, not
daring to ask if that was the house to
which he had been invited. Dinner
was announced in due time and was
heartily enjoyed by the minister, who.
after a couple of hours spent in con
versation, departed for his home,
chuckling over his success in so hap
PLY solving the dinner problem. The
next afternoon the minister CHANGED
to meet Mrs. A and Mrs. B., an
other of his parishioners, while taking
| a stroll.
What happened to you last even
| ing?" inquired Mrs. B.. I'VE kept the
dinner waiting for you an hour be-
yond the usual time, but you did not
appear"
Then and there the light broke in
vied by Mrs. B, but had dined with
Mrs. A. He made complete confes-
sion, then an apology, and promised
that hereafter he will make every din
ner invitation matter of record.

Ancient Comic pramatIst.

A highly interesting discovery is
announced from Egypt. M. Lefevre,
one of the inspectors in the service of

inter a large number of leaves of a
papyrus codex of Menader. containing
upwards of 1900 lines. The publica-

should enable modern scholars for the
first time to form an independent

BY THE MARRIAGE CONTRACT.
Question of Rights Involved in Nuptlai
Relations.

That Russian in Pennsylvania
town who killed his wife and justified
1t in this sentence, 81 have a right to
kill my wife; it's nobody's business
but my own" carried to an extreme
length still surviving and by no
means uncommon theory of the mar
riage relation. The Ten Command
ments place in the same category
thy neighbor's wife" and his OK"
his ass" anything that is thy neigh
boris" A good many well-meaning
people look upon their own wife as in
the same category with their domestic
animals in the respect that she, too,
is their personal property. Has not
title passed in the marriage CON
tract? r5 she not my" wife,
This idea of ones wife as his
chattel is not inconsistent with
the reality of an indulgent and af-
fectionate nature in the man in the
case. But it is inconsistent with the
rights of the woman in the case-an
adult, responsible human being and
free moral agent.
1t Is the basis of the so-called "un-
written law"-the assumption by a
man that a woman is not the proper
or competent guardian of her own
honor, and that he has a right, on
proof or upon suspicion, to slay her
and somebody else, as he would slay
an ailing sheep of his flock and a
sheep-killing dog.
Not all men and women are yet
able to realize that the so-called pos
sessive pronoun my" sometimes de-
notes relation instead of possession.
The phrase my country" for in
stance, means a different thing when
uttered by an American citizen than
when uttered by the Bourbon who
held that he was the state. MY wife,
is a phrase like my friend" The
pronoun implies obligation and priv
iiege, not the right to kill-or even
to nag.-N. Y. Mail.

LOCATING AN ABSENT WITNESS

Simple Explanation Put End to All
Controversy.
Years ago, when l was reporting in
the Maine courts. there was a case
tried in York county in which pitted
against each other were two able law
yers, as unlike In appearance and
methods as humanity can show. For
the plaintiff appeared the Hon. In
crease Kimball, father of the present
head of the life-savipg service, and the
opposing counsel was the Hon. Ira T
Drew. then of Afford, afterward of
Boston.
1t was the second trial of the case,
the first trial resulting in a verdict for
the plaintiff. which the law court had
set aside. The counsel for the de-
fendant overstepped the ordinary pro-
cedure, and referred to the testimony
at the former trial, and laid unusual
tress upon the absence of one of the
PLAINTIFFS witnesses who had testified
at the former trial., stating that but
for that witness the plaintiff would
not have gained verdict. Again and
again he would ask: "Why isn't that
witness here?"
The plaintiffs attorney, when his
time came to reply, sprang to his feet
and delivered his exordium something
like this:
Why amt he here?' has been
asked again and again, and this mat
ten may as well be settled here and
now. Gentlemen Of the jury, will
tell you and the court and the learned
counsel why that witness amt here.
He's gone to higher court than this;
his mouths forever shut."-Boston
Herald.
