Wife Dumb. Has To Listen.

Arriving at the conclusion that his
wife could and did talk enough for

quarrel with her, fifteen years ago,
vowed never TO speak to her again,
so for that length of time kept silent.
He was moved to change his mind
few days ago only after a distress
Ing accident had happened to his
wife. While she was in an excited
frame of mind and was engaged in
reminding him of his shortcomings,
her tongue suddenly became paralyz-
ed. so that in second she became
speechless.
Mr.. Hollar at first could not be-
iieye 1t was true; il seemed too good.
Then, when he saw that there was
no chance OF comeback he address,
ed few remarks to Mrs. Hollar. He
rose to heights of oratory and in an
lmpassionate manner he made up for
all the golden opportunities he had
neglected. All his wife could do
was to make motions.-N. Y. World.

Animals Tint Enrn rhelr Living.


The number and variety Of four
footed creatures on the stage or in
the circus and earning good salaries
for their trainers is astonishing.
Lions, tigers. elephants, bears, horses,
clown mules, Shetland ponies who
dance the lanciers in sets, acrobatic
dogs, horses that do fractions, and
monkeys that accomplish some feats
that require almost human intelli-
gence and ability are legion. Good
animal actors are always in demand,
and the salaries they command are
powerful incentives for trainers to
rack their brains to hit upon some
new and amusing act. II is not the
cleverest act that wins approval so
much as the most original and anus
ing.
There are two universal rules
among animal trainers. The first is
to become familiar with the animals
and to known his temperament and
to make friends with him The next
thing is to make the animal under
stand thoroughly what it is that you
want him to do and to make him
do it. The animal must be made
to feel that the man is his superior:
then unremitting labor and infinite
patience are required if a successful
result is to be obtained. Harriet

PASTOR FINDS A MORAL IN
WRECK OF HIS OWN HAPPINESS
Robbed Of Bride by Drowning Accident the Rev. Mr. Yooman Says Mas II

On Day Set For Marriage Clergyman Tells Of his Bitter Struggle With Despair

Winthrop, Mass. - Miss Alice C.
Loud, of Roxbury, who was drowned
here three weeks ago, was to have
been married to the Rev. Hiram Vroo-
man, of Providence. Instead of the
wedding invitations that would have
been sent Mr.. Vreoman has gathered
about him his philosophy and issued
something like sermon, his be-
reavement serving as the text
The essence of his reflections on
the tragic event is that the young
woman perished, by divine will, in
order that he might be purified by
fire and proceed further upon the
road to regeneration by being given
a perception of his own worldliness.
The statement. or sermon, reads:
To-day was to have been the day
of my marriage to Alice G. Loud,
whose sudden death by drowning oc-
Cured three weeks ago to-day. 1t is
true that from all earthly points of
view this providential occurrence is
altogether inexplicable, but when
spiritually considered there Is suff-
cient explanation to dispel every
doubt of its beneficence.
Both practically and ideally Miss
Loud seemed to be bringing to me
the largest measure of personal salts
faction that this world has in store
for any man. She was bringing not
only the most devoted and purest
feminine affection that was ever re-
vealed to me in woman, but also
that complex of countless physical,
mental and spiritual values which
promised to multiply my usefulness.
AT first, upon learning what had
happened, all my ardent love for
her, which had already given me the
rarest happiness that had ever ex-
perienced, turned, as 1t were, against
me to torture me with vague anxieties
for her and indescribable pity. Fol-
lowing this, and second only to it by

was the despair of personal disap-
pointment. Apparently, l had been
deprived OF that one satisfaction
without which nothing else besides
could be satisfying.
"A belief that has not been weak

vine providence, and which has been

viction that what the Lord had done

has given certain interior peace
and sense of security, even while the
external or natural affections were
being tortured and tempest torn.
Indeed, the suffering has been
tempered and greatly modified by
these counteracting influences from
within. It has seemed to me at
times. and | have permitted myself
to believe, that I was sensible of a
work being wrought by the Lord in
my ruling love, causing it to become
a little more unselfsh than it had
formerly been. Indeed, 1t Is the res
direction of less selfish loves from
more selfish loves in such times as
this that verifies the revelations in
the word of God of immortality, and
confirms the certainty of the resur-
rection of the beautiful unselfsh girl
whom / loved and still continue to

devised scheme for treating clans
so each may prove a pearl bearer.
he made a study of the pearl ques-
ton as applied to bivalves and ascer-
tanned the scientific theory of the
origin OF the pearl in shellfish. Then
ne inquired the cultivation of the gems
was possibly practical venture.
MI Jefferson actually has grown
some pearls, although they are small.
it remains to be seen, with lapse OF
time, II large ones cannot be culti-
vated.
Several years ago Jefferson secured
a number of CLANS, and, after in
closing space on lake shore, plant
ed them In the water. Before doing
SO ne bored tiny hole in the shell
and lodged grain of sand in each.

Dass received from the priests of the
Black Caves of central India the
necessary education in order to be-
come a yoga, as a yoga must be
capable of taking the forty-eight pos
lures of the Hindoo idols
Perhaps his greatest trick consists
in balancing himself on the ends of
his fingers while the whole of his
body is in the air. Bava stated that
in order to obtain the rank of yoga
in the Black Caves of India he had
to continue in this position on the
ends of his fingers under the eyes of
the judges, without a second inter-
val, for seven days and nights.

Fishes Tint Grunt.

An interesting. but not surprising,
letail of the Italian biologists claim
20 have discovered that fishes con-
verse by means of buzzes, is his point
hat the red gurnet is the most talk
itive. The gurnet or gurnard de-
ives its name from a kind of grunt
which 1t utters when taken oat of
he water (French "grogner," to
yrunt). Nearly 1000 years ago
Aristotle recorded that, though fishes,
having no lungs, have therefore no
goice, several of them can emit
grunting sounds. But this kind of
protest. which might possibly be con-
idered purely automatic, is a good
ieal short of the conversational pow

dumb tribe.
