Why Bill Mas umnire.

A cricket match was being played in
meadow adjacent to Farmer Cow
sticks orchard, and the worthy agri-
culturist was at the wicket.
There had been great difficulty about
an umpire for this match, and when a
boy from the local school for young
gentlemen volunteered to act he was
gladly accepted.
Presently, to all appearances, the
farmer was run out, but the umpire
said no; and in the next over he was
obviously stumped, but still the deci-
sion was in his favor, much to the
wicket keepers disgust Then when
the farmer had compiled over fifty
runs, he was palpably "leg before
"'Ow'S that" called the bowler.
The youthful umpire hesitated over
his decision and looked uncomfortable,
with a nervous glance over his
shoulder In the direction Of the or
chard.
Then juvenile voice hurled across
the meadow from the direction Of the
lane:
''You can give the old bloke out
now, Billy-we've got all the plums we
wantr
The farmer didn't wait for the off,
cial decision, nor did the umpire stay
to give it.-London Telegraph.

A Crocodile In a Tree.

An African hunter once found a
large crocodile hanging in the fork of
a tree about ten feet from the ground
AS the place was fully half a mile
from any water, it was difficult to ac-
count for the crocodile's strange posi-
ton. When questioned upon the sub
ject, the natives explained that it was
put there by an elephant 1t seems
that when the elephants wade into the
Lake Ngami to battle the crocodiles are
In the habit of worrying them and bit
ing their legs Sometimes when an
elephant is annoyed beyond endurance
it picks up its tormentor in it's trunk,
puts it among the branches of tree
and leaves it there.-London Graphic.

During the rehearsals Of q panto-
Aime In Scottish town Glasgow,
think; Glasgow has always been an
eventful place to meD q child was
wanted for the Spirit of the Mustard
Pot. What more natural than that my
father should offer my services? had
shock of pale yellow hair, I was
small enough to be put into the prop
erty mustard put, and the Glasgow
stage manager would easily assume
that had inherited talent. Ny father
had acted with Macready in the stock
seasons both at Edinburgh and Glas-
gov and bore very high reputation
with Scottish audiences. But the stage
manager and father alike reekoned
without their actress! When they tried
to put me into the mustard pot yelled
Justify and showed more lung power
than aptitude for the stage.
Put your child into the mustard pot,
Mr.. Terry" said the stage manager.
Hang you and your mustard pot,
SIR said my mortified father. Il won't
brighten my child for you or any one
else"
But, all the same, he was bitterly dis
appointed at my first dramatic failure,
and when we reached home he put me
in the corner to chasten me. You'll
never make an actress he said, shak-
ing a reproachful finger at me.-Ellen
Terry in McClure's Magazine.

Preferred the Raby's Voice.

A New York scientist, the father of
a large and growing family, has his
troubles. One evening his youngest
was holding forth in her best style.
The mother could do nothing with the
child, so the man Of science went to
the rescue.
Il think 1 can quiet little Flora he
said. There's no use humming to her
in that silly way. What she wants is
real music. The fact that 1 used to
sing in the glee club at Yale and sing
well, too, may make difference"
Accordingly, the professor took the
child and, striding up and down the
room, sang in his best manner. He
had not finished the second verse of his
song when a ring was heard. The
door was opened, and there stood girl
Of fourteen, who said:
"I'm one of the family that's just
moved into the fat next to yours.
There's sick person with us, and he
says, if it's all the same to you, would
you mind letting the baby cry instead
Of singing to it?"-Success.

A Considerable Musician.

Many stories are told of the jealousy
and Ill feeling among musicians, SO it
Is refreshing to note that at least one
genius did not fail in good natured ap-
probation of fellow artist. 1t is re-
lated how Rossini, walking one day on
the boulevard with the musician Bra
ga, was greeted by Meyerbeer, who
anxiously inquired after the health of
his dear Rossini
Bad" answered the latter. Fright
full headaches, legs all wrong"
After a few minutes conversation
Meyerbeer passed on, and Braga asked
the great composer how it happened
that he had suddenly become so IN
we'll.
Smilingly Rossini treasured his
friend ''Oh, I couldn't be better.
merely wanted to please Meyerbeer.
He would so like to see me go to
smashv'-St. Louis Republic.

grandnieces of Ezra Grey came to live
in the old homestead John Norman,
grandson of William the Offender,
was more than ready to bury the
Ratchet, and it was his irony of fate
that he should fall in love at sight
with Helen Grey.
He was rich and popular and the
most eligible of Rosedale bachelors
He had never before been anxious in
regard to friendship with women
During his thirty-six years there had
been so many things that he had con
sidered more important But for the
past four months he had planned and
schemed to reach a friendly footing
with his neighbors and had failed
They quietly ignored his friendly ad-
vances, snubbed him a few times and
now the fear of marring the armed
neutrality kept him from overstepping
their limit.
As Helen settled beside him in the
tram, he was very conscious Of the
pressure of her arm against his and of
the weary droop of her pretty head
He had had her under espionage all
day and this accounted for his unusual
proceeding, going back to Rosedale by
trolley.
He was eager to take some of the
heavy bundles that incumbered her
lap, but he dared not make the sugges-
ton; her shrinking movement from him
and her unfriendly glance were earnest
of rebuff.
Twilight deepened, and the lights
twinlled in the car When there was
elbow room, she must tie her loosened
shoestring. She made two or three
attempts to reach it, but to tie a shoe
in a crowded car, with bundle laden
lap and gloved fingers, is no easy feat
John Norman was aware of her eff
forts, as his foot was beside hers on
the rail of the seat ahead. When he
felt a sharp tug at his shoestring. he
understood its significance. He knew
also by the energetic twist that the
offending string was tied In a hard
knot and that was as it should be.
She signaled the conductor to stop
at corner some distance from her
home, rather than at the nearer one
where they must alight together. He
understood the significance Of this also.
She was getting off, bundle laden. to
avoid the possibility Of any association

Why they're Trans Abroad.

ABROAD" said a tourist agent, ''you
must call street cars trans and street
railways you must call tramways. If
you speak Of trolleys over there, you
won't be understood The word tram
must puzzle the average etymologist.
It derives from a mans name-Outram
Thomas Outram. Outram lived in
Derbyshire, and in the beginning Of
the last century he invented a peculiar
sort Of track that diminished the fric-
ton between wheels c-9 roadbeds.
These tracks of Outram though moth
ing like a trolley track, were called
first outramways, then tramways, and
when street lines and street co.'s came
into existence they were dubbed re
spectively tramways and trans"

with him. NOrman'S hand stroked his
mustache to conceal the smile ut her
transparent tactics.
As the car slowed, she rose burdened
with bundles. Then came q struggle.
confusion and sickening distress, as
she dropped back fairly on John Nor
mans knee. Then she realized what
the trouble was-she had tied her shoe
string to his. She was profoundly
grateful for the cool, matter of fact
way in which he took her wild be-
havior. She struggled to her feet
again, and all Of Rosedale that was

John Norman's clear voice rang out.
wait a minute, conductor" in the
tone of one used to being obeyed The
conductor had a profound respect for
Mr.. John Norman and ran forward to
stop the changing bell. In the mean
time Norman had produced his pocket
knife and had cut the knotted laces
his and hers. She gave confused
murmur of thanks, and Norman, hasti-
~ catching up the parcels, followed her
out. There was no word of protest
and his sympathetic glance revealed
quivering lips and big brown eyes
suffused with tears
The car whirred away, and a faint
was the last straw
'Foolsv' he calculated, while the girl
leaned against a nearby wall and
laughed till the tears ran down her
cheeks.
The vagaries of women were beyond
his comprehension, and he looked his
bewilderment, standing mutely, with
suit case, bullying string bag and pot of
fern
Please, please forgive me-" she
pleaded. Il cannot imagine how I came
to do such stupid thing"
He liked the pleading tone and the
kindly way in which she looked at him.
1T was happy mistake for me-"
he said eagerly, ''and I hope that we
may be friends"
She had an inkling that there was
more than the thought of good fellow
ship in his mind as he held her hand in
lingering good night
Some months later Mrs. John Nor
man, looking particularly pretty and
charming, leaned across the dinner
table and put a pertinent question to
her husband.
"John. d. you remember the evening
that tied myself to your

Norman leaned back in his chair and
chuckled.
"Of course did. Why, didn't tell
you, dearest? Do you think that after
watching and waiting for months to
make your acquaintance I would
throw aside such an opportunity? You
tied yourself to me, and l knew it
significant omen for our happy fu-
ture."

Trees and the Air.

According to a reliable computation,
a single tree is able through its leaves
to purify the air from the carbonic acid
arising from the respiration Of con-
siderable number of men, as many as
a dozen or a score. The volume of
carbonic acid exhaled by a human be
ing in the course of twenty-four hours
is estimated at 100 gallons, and a sin
gle square yard of leaf surface, count
ing both the upper and under sides Of
the leaves, can decompose about
gallon of carbonic acid in a day.

When Umbrellas Were First Used.

The introduction of the umbrella in
some places has been regarded of suf-
f1cient Importance to be included in the
local annals. About 1880 a red leghorn
umbrella was introduced into Bristol
and it created quite sensation in
the city. 1t was about the same period
that an umbrella was first carried in
the streets of Stamford, Lincolnshire
1t was of Chinese manufacture and
was brought to Stamford from Glas-
gov. Mrs. Stockdale in 1776 is record
ed to have brought from the island
of Grenada, in the West Indies, the
first umbrella seen in Cartmel, Ian
cashire.
In 1879 DR.. Spens, a popular physi-
clan, carried an umbrella in the streets
of Edinburgh, and he is credited
with introducing it into the Scottish
capital. John jameson, a Glasgow
surgeon, visited Paris about 1871 or
1852 and brought back with him an
umbrella, which was the first seen in
Glasgow, where it attracted unusual
attention. William Symington was the
first person to carry an umbrella in
Paisley.
1t is related by Horace Walpole in
his account of the punishment of DIR.
Shebberere for libel, Dec. 5, 175S, that
when he was in the pillory a footman
held over him an umbrella to keep off
the rain. This has been described as
an aristocratic style of bearing pun
ialment. The undersherif got into
