HE KEPT STILL,
A Man with . Red Nose Gets . Valuable
Pointer.


1t was on a Sixth avenue elevated
train going uptown, says the Detroit
Free Press A man with red nose
which terminated in knob got on at
Franklin street and sat down beside a
little girl about five years of age, who
was accompanied by brother of
twelve. She was a sharp-eyed, hand
some child, and after few minutes the
red-nosed man felt his heart warm up
to her and he said:
well, little girl, are you going some
whefe?"
She looked up, but made 40 answer,
and after minute he smiled more
blandly and continued:
You are an awfully nice little girl,
and | wish l had some candy for you.
Is that your brother?"
Say, mister!' called the boy as he
leaned forward, you don't know much
about children, do you?"
Yes, l know all about EN-"
"Well, then, you can take you,
chances with her"
Chances? What chances9"
why, if you get her to talking shell
JPN ask you all about that nose o
your'n, and if you don't want to give il
away you'd better keep still"
Six passengers on the opposite sea
| all began to grin at once, and the mar
with the nose got up and solemnly ant
stiiily marched up the aisle and opened
the door and dropped into a seat in thu
next car. He thought he knew al
about children, but that boy had giver
him pointer never to be forgotten.

CATS THAT SEE NO DAYLIGHT

me hundred and fifty or two hundred
ats in the basement of the building
hat l began to make sort of study OF
the animal in general. These cats are
kept there to prevent the mice from
chewing up the contents of the mali
bags. So necessary are they regarded
that an appropriation of twenty dol
lars month is available for their sup
port. The light of day never strikes
the room in which the cats are allowed
to roam, and from year in to year out
the electric lights are kept burning
These cats know very well that the
light is artificial, and no one can tel
me to the contrary, for, as | say, have
made a study of them. The conse
auence is the animals labor under thu
ielusion that all time is night time

Those conwr.tul..ory Letters.

Some one with taste for figures has
calculated that it would take Prince
Bismarck, working eight hours a day
with unfiinching regularity, about
eight months to read all the letters,
post cards and kilograms of birthday
congratulations that have reached
Friedrichsruh. II he tried to answer
them all he would have to spend an
other year and half over the job.
Fortunately, he is an old man of too
much common sense to attempt either
to read or to answer one-thousandth
part of the messages that have been
sent him. The very great majority OF
the senders have the satisfaction of re-
flecting that their good wishes will
serve to light fire at Friedrichsruh
any time during the next twelve
months, but that is about all. II they
think that the prince will ever even see
their letters or kilograms they are
making q great mistake. Thus does
the business of sentimental busybodies
succeed only in defeating its own OBJ
ject.

CHARITY THAT CURSES.
Alnsgiviug Is Not Charity, 1t Is the Civ
ing Of Oneself

Almeg1vluR Is NOT tnnrIty, IL - inc Wv
ing Of Oneself.
There is many rich man seated to-
day with easy conscience at table
shining with cut-glass and silver, who
would be ready to stretch out helping
hand to those who need it, If they were
not 'all SO far away" He is living in
another world What he does is to
make his annual contributions to our
charitable societies, and that is all.
Some day, writes DIR. Jane Elizabeth
Robbins in the Forum, we will begin
to calculate the evil resulting from
such contributions. Again and again
is it true of the charity of to-day that
lit curses him who gives and him who
takes" On the one hand the poor man,
sinking down into the mire of pauper
ism, realizes dimly the bitterness of his
degradation, and takes the aims offered
| him with curses in his heart; while on
| the other hand the rich merchant or
manufacturer, who is daily disregard
ing the health of little children and
delicate girls, quiets his conscience with
a large check in the name of charity
And society applauds the generosity OF
such a man, and his eyes are blinded
ut is so tempting to the rich to thinl
that by giving check for the supper
of social scheme poverty may b.
abolished, and they be left free to enjo,
their wealth. They always hope tina
something, not themselves, might NEE
all needs"
One is often asked the question
what can the rich man do for the re
lief of sufferlng?" l believe there is bu
one answer: Let him give not aims bn
himself, and the wisdom comes wit
the giving. l knew a young apprentic
, in great machine shop who wa
. stricken down with consumption. IL
. parents were old and feeble, and it wa
only through the gifts of his employe
that his last days were made comfor
able, but more to them all than til
gifts was the fact that the employs
came himself to the little home in IL
| East side tenement, and spoke friendl
words. From every such natur
: friendship there grow more and MOI
chances for helpfulness, and for TIL
: truest charity OF all charities = Il
a treating of others as if they were
our own kind.

shot of = Spor.sman's Trusty Gun.
Coming TO our camp in the cool oc-
tober evening after throwing our lines
for bass at sunset in Little Bear pond"
said the Gotham sportsman to the New
York Sun man, I'VE found that visit
or had been there during our absence.
We had taken up our quarters in de-
serted shingle camp, low log struc-
ture with a splint roof A 'deacon's
seat stood before the open fireplace of
stone and behind, laid thatchwise on
the ground, were the pine boughs upon
which we were to sleep. We had left
our dunnage there earlier in the day
and had hung up on peg in the
wall two cartridges that we had shot.
AFTER we had lighted up the place
with glowing fire we saw that the
cartridges were gone from the wooden
peg on which they had hung and were
nowhere to be seen. A long search
about the camp revealed them at last
on the opposite side crowded half under
the bottom log of the wall as If an at
tempt had been made to get them out
Of the camp that way.
I'VE hung them up again upon the
peg and in a few minutes discovered a
weasel running about them trying to
get them down again. He appeared to
be regardless of our presence. He
would run out to the end of the peg
and work awhile to try to push the
string that held them over the end and
then would dart to the ground below
and sit upright looking at them, his
eyes all the while glowing like emer-
aids. At last l picked my gun up,
loaded with heavy charges of bird shot.
Its no use trying to hit him, said
Farris, my companion, an old woods
man. He'll dodge the flash of your
gun. The most you can do is to scare
him away
"As the weasel sat upright and mo
tionless on one of the bottom logs OF
the camp l took careful sight and
fred with my right barrel at him. The
smoke cleared away, but no wease
was to be seen, although the place
where he had sat was peppered will
fine holes where the shot had all strucl
, within space as large as the palm o
my hand. II the weasel had been hi
he would have been found and he hat
evidently lodged at the flash of the ex
plosion or perhaps the fall Of the ham
, mer But the shot had the effect o
frightening him away, for we had nj
, more visits from him during our stay.

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

Perfumes are now extensively man.
ufactured in the United States, and the
native articles are said by experts to
compare favorably with foreign manu.
features.
England manufactures perfumes
on very large scale, importing many of
the materials from other countries,
but also making large use of home
grown herbs and flowers.
Many woods have sugar and gum in
their composition, and the presence of
these elements is generally shown by
the attraction the wood seems to have
for many kinds of insects.
The wheat yield in the Genesee
valley, Idaho, this season is immense. W.
y. Glib thrashed 5000 bushels off of 200
acres, averaging about As bushels tothe
acre. Dan Healy cut and thrashed IA
acres of wheat that went SO bushels to
the acre.
A Missouri rattlesnake at the mu-
scum of comparative zoology at Cam
bridge has been observed to lose his
skin twice year and to add a rattle
for every skin. Instead of losing the
rattles as he does the skin, they are re-
tanned by the closing of the inner end
of the old rattle over the knob of the
new one, and accidents accepted, the
snake bears with him this record of his
| age.
The trade in California sweet wines
is showing gratifying increase. The
total estimated product for this year is
100000 gallons. which is 25 per cent
more than was marketed last year
Heretofore there has been little prof
| in the vintages because of the fierce com
petition of growers, but the producers
have now made arrangements with
| sweet-wine syndicate which will con
troll the entire product of the state ant
give all concerned some share in tn
profit.
In America it has been observed
that bees often bore tubular corollas II
order to get at the nectar of flowers, in
stead of entering by the mouth, a
humblebees do in Europe. In essays OF
the crossfertilization of flowers, thi
supposed anomaly has been the subjec
of much comment. 1t now appears tina
the humblebees of Europe and Americ
have identical habits in regard to tn
manner in which visits to flowers ar
made, and that it is the class of insect
known as the carpenter bee, or tn
borer, which works in the outside maj

The question of the influence of tn
size of seeds upon termination and VI
on the size of the plants that sprin
therefrom has recently been studio
anew by Mr.. B. r. Galloway, summar
of whose conclusions is given by til
Gardeners Chronicle. The weight an
size of the seed are of great importanc
A large seed terminates better and moi
quickly, and with it one can count upc
having at the same moment from IS
90 per cent. of the total crop,while wit
small seeds the crop reaches maturi'
only in successive periods OF time,
E that at no moment in gathering Il
crop in toto could we have the san
proportion of the whole. Beside
where with small seeds four successi
! crops are obtained, we have six wi
large seeds, their evolution occurril
with greater rapidity.

BUSINESS is broken every second of the
day in front of my window. Ard the
erring ones are not mostly women,
either, as is generally supposed, but
men-some in the sere and yellow
epoch of age-stand before that window
and gaze upon my poor display of gems
with straining, bullying eyes. Last week
l sold diamond that weighed little
over five carats. Previous to the sale
had it in the window for a few weeks.
A certain old couple used to come regu-
larly every day and gaze for an hour at
time at the gem. 1t was straw-col-
ored diamond, but very flashy. The
old couple would invariably turn and
keep their eyes on the stone as long as
they were in sight, and seemed reluc'
tant to leave. The next day after
had sold the gem the old couple ap
peared as usual, and the look of disap
pointment on their faces was keen and
lingering. They scrutinized every cor.
ner of the window in a vain search, and
when they failed to discover their IA
vorite moved SLOWLY and sadly awav."

HE HAD COURAGE.
But His Make-Up Was Lacking In Strategy
and It Avaiied Him Not.

and 1t Avaiied Him Not.
There are many times, albeit not char
acterized by startling frequency, when
the nerve = the emotional nerve - of
Macallister McIlhenny reasserts itself,
and for the moment gives hope to his
friends that he will yet,storm the cit
adel of some fair maiden's heart and
claim it as his own, says the Detroit
free Press The latest recrudescence,
SO to speak, in this line manifested t.
self recently.
The buoyant and hopeful Mac had
found another sweet creature who had
permitted him to visit her after the first
call. In that alone was certain tri-
umph to which Macallister McIlhenny
was not slow to respond.
On the occasion of which this chron-
icle treats he had tarried until he was
in sight of the wee sma' hours, and in a
wild burst of enthusiasm he had pro-
posed to her, as he had many, many
times proposed to so many, many other
maidens.
But the girl resented it as If men were
plenty.
''Go!" she answered him, haughtily,
''go, sir!"
She was so radiantly beautiful, and
Macallister McIlhenny was so dead in
earnest, that before she knew what
had happened he had bent forward and
kissed her with a loud report
"Sir!' she exclaimed, with great in
dignation, you have gone too far"
i beg your pardon" he replied, non
chalantly, you told me to go, but you
didn't say how far, and went"
But it availed him not. He had the
courage, but he lacked the strategic
quality, and once more he found him
self an emotional wanderer upon the
lace of the cold, repellent earth.
