Glazed Currant Buns.

ed milk and add to a pint of the
same. Stir in about three cups OF
-four beat until very smooth, then

add one-half cup sugar, one-half cup

1Rooter," "Bua" and "Fan."

1t must, indeed, be admitted in
all justice that, although lexicog-
raphers have not as yet devoted
their acumen to the subject, there
does exist a nice distinction among
the terms "rooter," "bug" and
"fan." Any one may be rooter
if he attends a baseball game only
once in a lifetime and yells. A
bug, too, need not be a steady pa
tron. His chief requirement is abil-
ity to quote data and statistics deal
ing with averages, games and play
ers. But the fan! He is as far
above the others as a ahatma
above a cody. To him baseball is
sleep, meat and drink. 1t becomes
4 fetch. Having passed through the
stages of rooter and bug, the soul
of fan frequently achieves a Mir
vana that enables him to express
untold passion by mere eye CLINT.
Again, he may elect to roar. He is
the sublimation Of baseball fervor,
getting out of it all there is in it.

HIS SHARE OF THE LOAD.
A Story Of Arehduke AIbreeht and
Peasant Girl.

The Archduke Albrecht of Aus
tria was fond of hunting and spent
a month or two every summer IN
the Tyrol and upper Austria in pur-
suit of the chamois. On these occa-
sions he wore a hunters uniform,
which was chronically in a shabby
condition. One day he wandered
away from his party and, finding
that night was coming on, began
hastily to descend the mountain to-
ward Ischl. Soon he overlook girl
of nineteen or twenty, who was car
rying an enormous load of firewood,
on the top of which was perched a
chubby child about two years old.
The archduke hailed her, and the
girl greeted him with anything but
friendly look.
"What do you want?" asked she.
"Can you tell me the shortest
road down to Ischl?"
81 am going there. You can fol-
low me-" she retorted curtly.
The archduke went on beside her,
but it made him uneasy to see her
bearing so great load.
"This is far too heavy for you,
my girl" said he. "Give me that
child. l will carry him." .

'No. You take the firewood and |

The archduke undid the scarf and
transferred the fagots to his own
shoulders, so that, with his gun and
game bag, he was pretty heavily
laden. Then the girl fell to chat

pearance, and as he trudged on fol-

tired of his bargain.
] Suddenly at cross path ne came
upon his suit, and their greeting al
once betrayed his identity to the
girl. She fell on her knees before
him, and tears sprang to her eyes
when she saw two of his hunters re.
moving the fagots from his bruised
shoulders.

Burxands Wit.

F. C.. Burnand. the English hu-
mori>t. when preparing in his youth
to enter the priesthood was ordered
by the novice master at bis college
to clean the windows. He humbly
consented to do so if the master
would give him a lesson in the art,
but directly the man got outside the
window on to the ledge Burnand
fastened the catch and left him out
there. For this DR.. (afterward Car
dinaD Manning severely rated the
novice, telling him that he would
make a better shoemaker than
priest.
"Well, you leave me, at any rate,

been the witty reply.

THE UMBRELLA.
II Is Probably as Ancient as the Race
of Man.


The umbrella is undoubtedly of
high antiquity, appearing in various
forms on the scuIptured monuments
of Egypt, Assyria, Greece and
Rome, and in hot countries it has
been used since the dawn Of history
as a sunshadc, a use signitied from
its name, derived from the Latin
umbra, shade. In the east the
umbrella has even been symbol OF
power and royalty, and in many
countries it has become part of re-
licious as we'll as royal symbolism.
The Chinese date the first umbrella
back to 1000 or 5000 years anterior
to the Mosaic date of creation.
Among the Greeks and Romans
the umbrella was used by women,
while it's use by men was considered
effeminate. Less than 100 years
ago large umbrella was kept hang
ing in the halls of good houses in
England to keep visitors dry as they
passed to and from their carriages.
At hotels and restaurants also they
we're occasionally used in the same
way for the benefit of invalids or
aged people. But nobody ever
thought of carrying an umbrella in
the street.
It is said that Lord CORVALLIS
when he had been dining with a
friend and was about to enter his
carriage to return home stopped a
moment at the door to speak part
ing word to his host. 1t was raining
in torrents, and a servant standing
by took up the house umbrella to
hold it over his lordship's head
when the old soldier exclaimed
wrathfully: "Take that thing away!
Do you suppose l am sugar doll to
melt in shower. or do you take me
for a woman, wfo is afraid of her
fine headgear? have not been al!
this time fighting my country's bat
ties to be frightened now at little
cold water. If powder and lead
! didn't annihilate me, shower ol
raindrops may be risked."
The largest umbrella in the world
! was made in Glasgow for king Of
east Africa. 1t can be opened and
closed in the usual way and when
open is twenty-one feet in diameter
