TESTING HIS TONGUE.
The Unhappy Experience of "A Young
Married Woman.


Married Woman.
A young married woman in Brooklyn
suspected that her husband was indulg
ing in wine. She determined, however
to say nothing till she had confirmed
her suspicious. In conversation with
her bosom friend she said she would
give anything to discover the truth
The friend mentioned that a man even
slightly intoxicated cannot pronounce
words of length. This gave the young
wife an idea, which she proceeded tc
put into execution.
When the young women met again
the suspicious wife announced that the
worst had been ascertained She burst
into tears and took from her hand bag
a paper, which she handed to her
friend
81 gave him this" she sobbed.
The friend read from the list the fol.
lowing words: "Philiprogenitivenes
disproportionableness, pseudaesthesia
phthisis, parachronism, hypochondria-
sis. photochromy, syncategorematic
And added the unhappy wife, with
fresh sob, "the wretch missed nearly
all Of them !'-New York Tribune.

1t has been computed that the tenn
perature of the surface of the sun
would be expressed by $4,000 degrees OF
Fahrenheit's thermometer, or between
eighty and ninety times the tempera-
ture of boiling water. This is about five
times the highest temperature that man
is able to produce by artificial means
The light given Off from the surface OF
the sun is reckoned as being $500 times
more intense than that of the molten
metal in a Bessemer converter, though
that IS of an almost binding brilliancy
If we compare it with oxhydrogen
flame the sun sheds light equal to LAG
times the intensity of the limelight.

CHAPTER Xxx.

1.-THE woman you want went in there ~
1t was Mendotti, one Of Cassagnes men,
who spoke to his employer, as both stood
in the deep shadow of a tree, whose fur
thest branches spread over the narrow
street and beyond a high brick wall op-
posite.
''She went in there, not twenty minutes
ago." repeated Mendotti, pointing with
his finger to a wooden door, which was
let into the wall. 81 at once sent you a
message. l have not moved from here
except to do that. She's in there yet. l
don't know whose house it is"
But l do. 1t is the residence of Col
bert Remplin, the rich banker of the
Place de lOpera. That door leads into
his garden. Tell me how she got in. Did
she have a keyT'
mo, a woman admitted her."
"What kind of a woman was she?"
IAN elderly woman. She looked as
though she might be housekeeper. or an
upper servant. l crept up near enough
to hear her say, My mistress is busy
now, but she will see you in a few min
utes. Go into the summer house,"
Cassagne thought deeply for a minute
or two. 1t last he said:
Run around in front of the house and
see what is going on. The house is well
lit up. The Colbert Remplins are not
people who entertain much; but there
must be something on tonight. Do
not hear the sound of music? Whoever
Is to meet the woman" continued the de-
tective, sis to meet her in the summer
house. Oh, to be able to scale that wall,
and get into those grounds :"
Looking around him his quick eye fell
upon the tree Immediately over their
heads. along the branches of which he
thought he might possibly work his way
and so drop into the garden.
The night was tolerably dark. But
few people were passing in that fashion
able quarter. After a moments hesita-
ton he determined to attempt it. After
first instructing Mendotti to await his re-
turn, he then climbed upon his assistants
shoulders, and was just able to reach the
lower limb of the cedar.
Il am all right" he whispered, and he
commenced to work his way very eau
tiously along one of the branches. 1t
bent tremendously with his weight but
he put up his hand and drew down an
upper bough. Thus distributing the bur-
den, he managed to pass the wall, and
continued to creep along the branches
until, they gradually bending with their
load, he was enabled to drop noiselessly
into the garden.
Il will go and wait for my lady 40

The woman burst into tears. Even

1t was getting late. The Rue Ban
quiere was becoming deserted. The huck-
sters outside had covered up their wares
and were beginning to take their depart
ure.
The man with the bag however, still
loitered in the cook shop. He had made
a few purchases, and had chatted pleas
antly with the man in the cap and apron
on the latest local sensation, a raiding
which had resulted in the death of two
officers.
''Not but what it serves them right"
remarked the man with the bag. why
don't these swells of the police let Belle

The man with the bag applauded her

nificantly.

Your hands amt rough enough, and you
look altogether too fat. Workmen don't

"Oh they feed us well enough where
I've just come FROM" replied the work
man; and he kept his eyes steadily fixed
on madam's face. I've Just spent five
years in the prisons of Toulon-why,
what's the matter, madame? You never

But madame was deadly white, and

ut Is the heat-it isl am not well.
Monsieur will call again. l hope he will
be a good customer. We have many like
him."
"And I'm all right, you know" said
the man with the bag. THE police can't
touch me, for I've served my time"
He slung his bag over his shoulder,
picked up his parcels, and wishing the
pair good night, passed out on to the
nearly deserted street, with the hang-dog
look of a man who had been hunted often,
and dreaded to be hunted again. He
trudged on to the top of the Rue Ban
quiere, and gained a broader thorough
fare. Immediately around the corner
there was a cab in waiting. The man
with the bag entered it, and raising the
trap door in the roof, said to the sleepy
driver:
Home ~ And as he ratified along on
the pavement, he said to himself MEN
dotti was right. The woman is undoubt-
eddy Madame La Seur. OF course she
would change her name when she mar

lot she owns by cutting up buildings in

followed night and day."

But it's very seldom they are punished, and we cannot account for this state of affairs unless it's either the owner of the machine or chauffeur has a pull" We'll, it's time our citizens had some protection; we think our citizens should be allowed to take the law in their own hands and pun fish the offenders right on the spot The writer of this ad horse-whipped a chauffeur going to the WolcOtt fair one year ago last fall, and we don't know whether he died or not; he's never shown himself since. How ever, we give him credit because he took his medicine and skiddoed. Say, we often think the cause of fast driving can be laid to the drinks of a chauffeur.

HOW SNAKES HUNT.
The Idea That They Exert a Hypnotic
 Influence EXnloded.

Many are the tales told of how snakes of various kinds exert hyp- notic influence over their prey. A naturalist now denies this, as the re- suit of some experiments.
 He shut a number of rattlesnakes up in a barn, and then introduced rats and birds for the reptiles to feed upon.
 The rats were very restless, but this he puts down to the desire to es- cape rather than the dread of dan ger. Sometimes, however, they would run straight into the heaps of straw where the snakes lay conceal ed.
 When a rattlesnake wanted to catch a bird it would silently ap- proach its victim, poise for a mo- ment, make a snap-like dart and then in a leisurely manner retire.
 In that sudden dart it had injected its poison into the bird which then fluttered and staggered about in an aimless fashion. Presently its move ments became more dulled. The end had come.
 Then the snake quietly seized it and bore it off to the heap of straw to be consumed at leisure.
 Hypnotism did not play the slight est part in this or any similar cap ture which the naturalist watched. Answers.

A FUNNY PICTURE.
Washington STAR


Secretary Wilson of the depart
ment of agriculture concluded in
Washin gton recent address on
agricultural economy with an
anecdote.
81 used to know a clergyman, he
said, who owned a fine farm, and ran
it on very economical lines, so that
1t paid splendidly.
Sometimes, though, I am afraid
this good clergyman carried his
economies a point or two too far.
Thus. as he was taking his usual
daily stroll over his rich. broad acres
one morning, he saw a plowman,
while the horses rested, sitting on
the handle of his pillow. 1t occurred
to the minister that he paid this
plowman 10 cents an hour, besides
board, and he stopped and said,
gentley and reproachfully:
James, wouldn't it be a good plan
for you TO have a pair of pruning
shears here, and be cutting few
bushes along the fence while the
horses are taking their short rest?'
James returned the ministers
serious gaze, and in the same gentle
yet reproaehful voice he answered:
Look here, sir, wouldn't 1t be a
plan for you to have a lot of po-
tatoes in the pulpit and while they're
singing the hymns to peel EN- for
