SHE SHUT HER EYES.
True to Her Principles, She Determined
Not to See.

True to Her Principles, She Determined
Not to See.
Mrs. Storcy's life had been
haunted for years by the fear that
some day she might be called upon
to serve as witness in court. Her
grandmother was witness once,
and when Mrs. Storey was little
girl she used to hear all about it.
Grandma, it appears, had been so
scared she couldn't tell the Judge
her own name.
"And," said Mrs. Storey to her
husband, eff there is anything
more disgraceful than to be un-
able to tell your own name Id like
to know what it is"
In order to reduce the possibili-
ty Of such IL calamity to a minimum
Mrs. Storey would walk on with
deafened cars and averted head
whenever she happened to be near
a fire, a fight or the scene of an ac-
cidcnt. Only the other day she had
occasion to shut her eyes and ears
to the scething crowd around her.
She was waiting in the Grand Cen
trail station for Mr.. Storey, who
had gone around to the baggage
room to check Il trunk.
Presently she became aware that
something exciting was happening
close beside her. Hastily she shut
her eyes and stuck her fingers into
her cars, but before those protec.
tive measures could be accomplish.
ed she learned that a female thie1
had snatchcd a hand bag which she
had found lying on the floor and
was being pursued by an excited
crowd. Not being entirely devoie
Of the curiosity of her sex, Mrs
Storey would have liked to know
more, but the old fear Of being dc
tanned as witness held her liner
until her husbands return. Thcl
she ventured to ask if they hae
caught the thief.
"les," said Mr.. Storey, 'bu
they couldn't do anything with her
Every one was confident the ba!
didn't belong to her, but as no
body appeared to claim it they hat
to let her GO"
At that Mrs. Storey opened he
eyes.

is all over. l am ready to go now
But, oh, dear me! Where arc m

VICTOR HUGO.
The Amazing Esotism Of the Famous
French Writer,

frenen writer.
From "The Story of the Hugos,"
contributed to Munsey's by Lyndon
Orr, we take these examples Of Vic
tor Hugo's egotism:
CATER he had published the first
edition Of his novel The Man Who
Laughs an English gentleman call
ed upon him and suggested that in
subsequent editions the name Of an
English peer who figures in the
book should be changed from Tom
Jim-Jack.
"For:' said the Englishman,
Tom Jim-Jack is name that could
not possibly belong to an English
nobleman or indeed to any English
man. The presence of it in your
powerful story makes it seem to
English readers a little grotesque.'
''Victor Hugo drew himself up
with an air of high disdain.
"fWho are you?' asked he.
"1 am an Englishman,' was the
answer, tand naturally l know what
names are possible in English
"Hugo drew himself up still
higher, and on his face there was a
smile Of utter contempt.
"<Yes,' said he, you are an Eng
lishman, but II am Victor Hugo
'1n another book Hugo had spo-
ken of the Scottish bagpipes as
fbugpipes.' This gave some offense
to his Scottish admirers. A great
many persons told him that the
word was fbagpipes' and not bug
pipes But he replied with irrita.
BILE obstinacy:
"1 am Victor Hugo, and if
choose to write it f'bugpipes" it is
"bugpipes." 1t is anything that
prefer to make it. 1t is so because
I call it so.'
"When the German army was be.
sieging Paris, Hugo proposed te
fight duel with the king Of Prus
STA and to have the result of it set
tie the war, 'for,' said he, the king
of Prussia is a great king, but ] an
Victor Hugo, the great poet. W.
are therefore equal
Gin spite, however, Of his ardent
republicanism he was very fond O
speaking Of his own noble descent
Again and again he styled himself
"a peer of France and he and hi
family made frequent illusions tt
the knights and bishops and coun
sellers Of state with whom he claim
ed an ancestral relation. This wa
more than inconsistent. 1t wa
somewhat ludicrous, because Vic
tor Hugo's ancestry was by nj
means noble. The Hugos of the fit
teenth and sixteenth centuries wer
not in any way related to the poet
family, which was eminently homes
and respectable, but by no mean
one of distinction. His grandfathe
was carpenter. One of his aunt
was the wife of baker, another 0
a barber, while the third earned he
living as provincial dressmaker."

We have been able to bring forward

shown directly that a molecule Of air is
in rapid motion, but we measured the
order Of the magnitude Of its energy
of agitation and find 1t to agree with
the computations based upon the kinetic
theory
I'm brief the method BY which all
these results have been obtained is as
follows We blow a cloud Of fine oil
