Strained the Jar.

A little old woman with a sharp nose
and sharper tongue was in the country
grocery store buying supplies. Among
other things she brought in from her
cart was a battle SCARED jug, which
she ordered to be filled with treacle.
At last, when her purchases were
completed, she began looking over the
account, item by item, before paying.

have charged me for two gallons and
half of ueacle."

"But that jug holds only two gal

"You must be mistaken. I measured
the treacle carefully, and it took two
gallons and a half to fill it,
"Well,' said the old woman with a
sigh, 81 don't so much mind having tc

Finding a Grave With an Eoo.

The Miau-tsze, little known tribe in
Asia, are very sUnerstitiOus about
death and Wa aol TRY a man until
they have first tested the ground with
an egg. This operation is very curious.
While the body is being prepared for
burial a number of Miau-tsze, includ-
ing the male relatives Of the deceased,
go out to the appointed spot bearing a
large basket of eggs. STOPPING down,
one of the natives lets an egg drop
softly on the ground. If it breaks it is
considered an i'll omen, and another
spot is selected. In this way the party
often wander about for hours, break
Ing eggs over the ground until they
finally strike place where the shell
does not crack.

Plane Sailing.

All plain sailing. This term is 50
spelled even in nautical works of some
age, but plane sailing is the correct
form. Before Mercator invented the
sea chart which goes by his name all
charts were on plane projection. In
using these the ships course was treat
ed as an angle and the distance, diff
ference of latitude and departure as
the sides Of right angled triangle.
There were very large errors In plane
charts, yet all tie world was charted
on them and all the great voyages Of
discovery made before Mercator's pro
lection came into use. Plane sailing
was the simplest of all sailings, and
thus came the present meaning of the
term.

But Harry Thaw could not forget
the past. There We're ghosts in it.
There was the ghost of Stanford White
for one. Whenever he visited New
York with his wife, as he did more or
less often-for the Great White Way"

had known his wife in other days still
looked admiringly at her, for she was

Two Rivals For One Girl.

Stanford White frequcnted the thea
terS and was known as the friend and
patron of ambitious chorus girls. He
became the angel of Evelyn Neshit.
After that. according to accounts, the
Nesbit girl and her mother and brother
knew poverty no more. They removed
from a boarding house to apartments
of luxury. and the girls mother no
longer made over Eyelyn's hats and
gowns.
But Harry Thaw also admired Eve
lyn. once he sent to her apartments
Il grand piano. Other gifts as eXtrava-
giant he showered upon her. After Il
time Evelyn went TO Europe. and
Thaw also turned up again in that con
tiuent. They We're much together.

Locked In Murderers' Row.

Thaw was arrested mt once and tax
en- to the Tombs prison. that massive
pile of masonry in New York which
looks like medieval castle There
he was placed in cell in 'murderers
row. to await trial upon an indictment
charging him with murder in the first
degree.
According to stories which were cir
Culated at the time and for months
thereafter. Thaw proposed to rely upon
the "unwrItten law" to save himself
from the electric chair. His friends
caused the publication of the most
startlingly sensational tales concerning
the relations of Stanford White with
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw prior to her mar
riage, coupled with insinuatiOns that
White was still pursuing the young
woman with Ills attentions after her
marriage. Very much of maudlin
sympathy for Thaw was expressed.
Condemnation of White was general
for time.
His luxurious den in the Madison
Square Garden tower was denounced
as place of nocturnal orgies. 'EX-

with other chorus girls were made.
