An Exalted Yawn.

"When I went to church last Sun
day." said a young woman visiting
Washington, II sat directly behind a
high executive officer for whom l have
always had the greatest veneration
and whom l have regarded as al
most nor than mortal. I tried hard
not to be rude and stare at him
too much, but l could not help my
eyes wandering toward him occasion
ally. l glanced at him just once, near
the end Of the sermon, and what do
you think he was doing? He was
yawning, and he yawned a large and
vigorous yawn, which came to him SO
suddenly that he did not have time to
hide it behind his hand. I must con-
fess that I was delighted. My venera-
ton for the executive officer is just as
great as it ever was, but l am glad l
found out with my own eyes that he is
subject to ordinary human weaknesses
and cannot help yawning during a ser
mon."-Washington Star.

Wsiqht Dead and Alive.

1t is a very popular idea that a
person when dead weighs heavier
than when living. One S that
a dead body is thought to be heav-
Ter than a living n is probably
this: In carrying a living person we
have the center Of gravity adapted
by the person carried to suit the
convenience of the carrier and
maintained in a position as far as
possible to fall within the base of
his body. Again, the elasticity of
the structure Of the body, especial
ly the cartilages, though not in real
ity diminishing the weight, gives an
appearance of lightness, as we see
in the beautiful movements of the
stag, and this would seem to cor
roborate the notion that living crea,
lures are lighter than dead ones,
It has also been asserted that the
breath makes the living body light
er than the dead. But we need hard,
ly say that a man when dead weighs
no more than when alive.

A Daisy.

"You are a daisy" is used by
Dickens in "David Copper6eld' in
the sense Of calling a person a daisy
in the way to express admiration
and at the same time to laugh at
ones credulity. Steerforth says to
young Copperfeld: "David, my dali
sy, you are SO innocent of the world.
Let me call you my daisy, as it is so
refreshing to find n in these cor
rupt days SO innocent and unsophis-
ticated. My dear Copperfeld, the
daisies of the field are not fresher
than you"

Dorsey went, miserably enough,

steamer chair lost in her bitter
thoughts. She liked Dorsey, and it
cut her to the quick that he should
have spent the evening flirting with
the little soubrette, while she herself
lay In her berth vainly wishing the
ship would run aground If only the
awful rolling of the vessel might stop.
Dorsey, manlike, made for the solace
Of the smoking room. At the head Of
the companionway lounged n of the
men who had been engaged In a poker
game the night before. Now his face
was wreathed in smiles as he followed
the miserable lover to the deck below.

goods" he said, with a laugh, as he
took a seat at Dorsey's table. Adams
looked at him savagely.
Il wish you'd mind your own blam-
ed business" he growled. The stran-
ger only smiled pleasantly.

There was real friendliness In the
tone, and Dorsey colored as he held
out his hand.
"You might go and tell her that l
was here In the smoking room all last
evening"" he suggested. "That was
the row."
"a lot of good it would do to say
that" said the intruder, with a smile.
"She would simply declare that I was
bolstering you up in an untruth.
You've got to do better than that, old
chap. By the way, my names Grey

Dorsey made reply, and owe the
highballs they planned a campaign.

Watch CRYSTAL Making.

The process Of making the watch
glasses is more or less a secret, as is
also the construction of the ovens,
but it is known that the glass is
blown into large spheres OF balloons,
after which it is baked and anneal-
ed. Skilled woEkmen then cut out
the glasses with a diamond point,
after which they are ground to the
proper sizes. The ovens are very
expensive to build, costing not less
than 500, 900 each, and their opera
ton is so difficult that one of the
firms found it cheaper to have their
''balloons" made by the oldest man.

q Remarkable Name.

Years ago as a New England sea
captain was signing a contract at a
shipping office he was observed by
the official in charge to be writing a
string Of names. "Only sign for
yourself, cap'en," cried the officer,
mot for the whole crew." The cap
tain grimly pointed out the head
ing-"Name in full"-and went on
writing his piece, which, when he
had done, che officer, after some
trouble in deciphering, found to
read thus: '"Through-M h-Tribula-
tion-We- Enter Into the Kingdom
of-Heaven Clapp." "Will you please
to tell me, Captain Clapp," said he,
with as demure a face as his violent
inclination to indulge in a hearty
laugh would allow him to put on,
what might your mother have call
ed you in your infancy to ave her
self the trouble of repeating a SER
mon whenever she had occasion to
name her darling?" "Why, sir" re-
piled Captain Clapp, with laughable
simplicity, "when L was little they
used to call me Tribby for short
ness"

HEARD ON THE BOURSE.

! White-The wheat market was firm
though tired and the fact that final
sales were H c lower than previous
close would argue that bull news had
been discounted at the price.
Barrell-While we advise buying
wheat on all setbacks, we would not
ignore good profits when offered Re
actions will follow all quick upturns
Ware & Leland-A good many shorts
have been forced to cover but are
willing to put out lines on any good
sign of weakness. We are inclined to
look for a good scalping market in
wheat.
Pringle-On any weak spots we ad-
wise buying July wheat, believing in
higher prices for it.
Miller-The undertone of the market
continues strong. There is an absence
of liquidation. Commission houses po-
sition is a comparatively light one and
we see no reason to change our opin-
ion on the bull position
Topics-Union, Reading, SteeTs and
Shelter are the best stocks to sell on
bulges.

"Now, silence and listen!" said Gray.
They soon detected a curiously sub
dued clamor from the inner recesses of
the cleft. at first almost indistinguish
able, it gradually assumed the peculiar
attribute of immense volumes of dis
tant sound and filed the ear to the ex-
clusion of all else. It was like nothing
any of them had heard before Now 1t
recalled the roar of a mighty waterfall,
and again its strange melody brought
memories of a riveg in food. But the
dominant note was the grinding noise
Of innumerable millstones. It cowed
them. all. Even the dog was afraid.
Guess we tied up just in time,'' ex-
claimed Gray, feeling the need of
speech. A little sob answered him.
Elsie was beginning to admit the sheer
hopelessness of her undertaking.
"Now, cheer up, Miss Maxwell" said
he. "All the water that is going in
must come out by the same road. At
the worst we can skate back the way
we came and take our chance. But II
will soon be broad daylight, and III
answer for it that If Captain Courte-
nay is yet alive he is not between us
and the mouth of the inlet or he would
have cOntrived some sort of racket to
let US know his whereabouts Now, /
propose that our friend in the bows be
asked to shin up the cliff and prospect
q bit. He ought to know how to crawl
through this underground. Fifty feet
higher he will be able to see some dis
lance"
Suarez was very reluctant to leave
the boat, but the American adopted a
short cut in the argument, offering him
the alternative of climbing ashore or
of being thrown overheard
So the Argentine adopted the less
hazardous method and climbed to the
bank. A splash and a scramble and a
slight exclamation from Elsie told that
the dog had followed. Soon the swish
OF leaves and the cracking of rotten
wood ceased. Suarez might be out of
earshot or merely hiding for time, in
tending TO return with news of an i'm
passable precipice. There was a crumb
of comfort in the absence Of the ter
rier. Joey would either go on or come
back to them at once.
Gray felt that the girl was too heart
broken to talk He listened to the
rhythmical chorus of that witches
caldron in the heart of the defile and
watched the gray light slowly etching
a path through the trees until it touch
ed the fast running water with a
simmer of silver.
Neither Of them knew how long they
remained there. At last a straining
and creaking Of the boat warned them
that the water level was rising and the
ropes needed readjusting 1t was now
possible to see that Elsie had made

fast to fallen tree. Its branches were
locked among the gnarled roots of the
lowermost growth above high water
mark. Already there was a distinct
lessening in the pace of the current,
and Gray fancied that the distant rum
bic was softer. 1t would not be many
minutes before the neighboring rocks
were covered. High tide he knew was
at 3:15 a. N. He forbore to look at
his watch lest the girl should note his
action. That would imply the utter
abandonment of hope.
1t might be that his mind was too
taken up with the weird influences of
the hour or that Elsie's senses were
strung to a superhuman pitch. Be that
as it may, it was she who sprang to
her feet, all a-quiver with agitation.
DO you hear?' she whispered, and
her hand clutched Gray's shoulder with
an energy which set his heart beating
high. He did not answer He had
heard no unusual sound, but he was
not without faith in her.
"Therev' she painted again. Some
one is hailing Some one cried Elsie
am sure of it."
Guess you'd better foot Arthur on
the off chance" said Gray.
Almost the last thing she remember
ed was the sound of her own wild
scream. There came back to her q
stronger shout and the bark of a dog.
She had a blurred consciousness of q
whole troop of men scrambling down
the choked ravine, of glad questions
and joyous answers, of a delirious dog
leaping on board and yelping staccato
assurances that everything was all
right in most wonderful world Then
she found herself in Courtenay's arms
and heard him say in a rapture of de-
light:
81 owe my life to you, dear heart
That is the wonder of it. No need to
tell me you ran away from the ship.
1 know. One kiss, Elsie, then full
speed ahead for the Kansas. By the
Lord, to think of it-you here, at the
very gate of the inferno! Well, one
more kiss! Yes, it is 1, none other, and
fit as a fiddle Never got a scratch.
There, now; I really must see the crew.
