They were newly married and were
calling upon one of the friends Of the
bride who had been particularly pleas
ant upon the occasion of their we'd
ding. The bridegroom, apropos of
nothing, began to talk about phrenolo-
gy and told how his wife had discov-
cred two very prominent bumps on the
back Of his head. He was proud of
them. So was she, and she passed him
around that the host and hostess might
feel the bumps and know Of their ex-
istence. Then she explained:
"My book on phrenology says that
they mean good memory and generos-
ity."
1t was evident that she was proud
of the facts, and so was he. But the
host, being of an inquiring turn Of
mind, wished to satisfy himself, so he
got down chronological work from
one of his library shelves and after
much labor found the bumps on the
chart. Turning to the notes, he read,
seriously at first, then unsteadily. The
bride became suspicious. but she was
game and said:
"Read it out loud. Please dov' And
the host read
'These bumps are most frequently
found on cats and monkeys"
Other topics consumed the remain

Daniel Webster Was Not Long In Dis
covering Its Source.
Once years ago, when Daniel Web
ster was secretary of state, there was
an important foreign matter up for dis
cussiOn before the cabinet, and the ut
most secrecy was Of course maintain
ed, but the whole thing was 'blazoned
about In few hours after the cabinet
meeting. So the president hastily sent
for his cabinet to talk over this leak.
Each man had a different idea Of it.
Finally Mr.. Webster arose, saying,
"You, gentlemen, go on with your dis
cussion, and I'll be back in a minute"
In few minutes he returned and re-
peated every word that had been spo-
ken in the room in his absence. He
explained that if by standing close to
the door outside the cabinet room you
held your ear to it you could not dis
tinguish one ineligible word, but IL
moving back from the door and little
to one side upon a certain spot in the
carpet you kept an attentive ear ev-
cry word could be plainly heard as
though whispered. Some enterprising
eavesdropper had been experimenting
with the door and had found that
upon that exact spot there was some
acoustic property of the door or room
that conveyed the sound in perfect en-
tirety.

evening, March IA, at Turner Hall

Mrs. Scheerer who had been summoned

members of the Club who were present,
and stated that it had been considered
best to postpone the business of the
evening until later date, which would
be announced through the press.
