Got RIGHT Down 10 Business.

to London society and one day sent
a deserving young American there to
be assisted home. But the American
was told that, though his case was en-
inently deserving. the society was just
then short of funds
When Lowell heard this he sat down
and wrote the society terse and Wig
orous letter.
"Dear sirs," he began, "for the last
seven years have contributed annual

sist the young man recommended to
you few days ago. If you will kind
~ return to me one of my contribu-
tons will send him to America at my
own expense, as am convinced the
case is most deserving one"
The society did not return any Of
Mr.. Lowell's cash, but it found means
somehow to dispatch the young man
home by the next boat.

When You Break Cut Glass.

An accident to cut glass invariably
plunges the owner of it into clouds Of
gloom, but often these clouds have sill
yer Innings. Before throwing the
pieces away examine each piece sep
arately and see if 1t could be cut down
into anything smaller. Shops which
deal In cut glass usually have cutter
on the premises. A case Is told of q
bride who upon entering the dining
room arrived in time to see, but not
prevent, her maid from pulling instead
of pushing the extension table, and as
1t separated in the middle several
pieces of valuable cut glass which had
been. placed there during the cleaning
time fell through with crash to the
floor. 1t seemed hopeless arcident.

colors Warm and Cold.

One clear. cold winters day Benja.
min Franklin spread a number Of
handkerchiefs carefully on level
stretch of snow. One of the handker-
chiefs was black. another white and
the others Of various colors. Some
time afterward he returned and re-
moved the hankerchiefs carefully one
by one. measuring the depth Of snow
under each. Under the black handker-
chief he found that the snow had melt
ed considerably; under a red handker-
chief, almost as much: under a blue
handkerchief, very little. and under the
white one scarcely any. By this simple
experiment he learned that color has q
great deal to do with the warmth Of
clothing White sheds the suns heat
almost as we'll as an 0ilskin sheds
water; blue is nearly as heat proof;
green is less so; yellow is warm color,
red still warmer color. while black
soaks up almost all the suns heat that
strikes it. Make the experiment some
time and you will see why black
clothes are out Of place in the summer
time and white ducks in winter

A Waiter as 4 Upper.


Il Two years ago a guest at hotel In
Eankfort-on,theMa Main which has many
American patrons became prime ia
vorite with the walters in the dining
room because Of the lavish tips he
gave to the man who served him, the
boy who helped him on with his coat
and the various other employees
Where old customers gave 80 pfennigs
he would give mark and more. be-
sides extras in the way of cigars. In
explanation he said one day that when
he was at home in st. Louis he was a
waiter, and, being far away, he want.
ed to test the extravagant tip system.
"And how does it work." he was
asked.

tleman, and l think they are fine wait

Whitewash Brush In Spain.

In Spain, where the ruins of Moorish
towers are seen upon the crests Of
many hills as the express train crawls
along at the rate Of fifteen or twenty
miles an hour. the evidences of surviv-
ing Moorish influence upon the people
and customs Of Andalusia make an in
teresting study. In the city Of Ronda
it is plain that the ideas of home build
ing which the Arabs brought into the
1berian peninsula remain vital today
The whitewash brush is the great lev
eler of distinction between the rich
and the poor in Spain. The exteriors
of homes-great manor houses upon
the haciendas, huts of mountaineers
clinging to the sides of the almost
perpendicular hills, handsome homes
Of rich merchants in the cities and
humble tenements-are nearly all Of
plaster. few Of them are calci-
mined in blue or brown or pink. but
the majority are pure white. Ronda is
a white city with few patches Of
blue and pink and looks as If the
whitewash brush had just been ap-
plied.-Louisville Confessional.

Wrecked by a Knife Blade.

A ship was once wrecked on the
Irish coast. The captain was a care
full one. Nor had the weather been of
so severe kind as to explain the
wide distance which the vessel had
swerved from her proper course. The
ship went down, but so much interest
attached to the disaster that diving
bell was sunk. Among other portions
of the vessel that were examined was
the compass that was swung on the
deck, and inside the compass box was
detected u bit of steel. which appeared
to be the small point of q pocket
knife blade. 1t was learned that the
day before the wreck a sailor who
had been set cleaning the compass
had used his pocket knife in the proc
ess and had unceremoniously broken
off the point and left it remaining in
the box. That bit of knife blade ex-
erted its influence on the compass and
to degree that DETECTED the needle
from its proper bent and yitiated it as
an index of the ships direction. That
bit of knife blade wrecked the vessel.

Scotch Students.

Many a man who never had any
schooling gets an education, and
often a surprisingly good one.
A traveller. in Scotland once met
farmer whose ground rent was about
500 year and who wrote poetry in
Gaelic that was Of high order.
This same traveller met youth in
Scotland who rode from home on
horseback to, the seaport and then
across Scotland to Aberdeen. where he
sold his horse to enter the university.
1t is related Of another Scotchman
that he was overheard repeating line
Of Tennyson, whereupon some one ask
ed him what poet he liked best.
"Homer." he replied.

II rarely read translation" he
said, wiping the fish scales from his
apron. II like best to read Homer in

AS to a crows ability to talk. said a
naturalist, some will and others will
never learn. The first of the four
birds ! have had recently was won
derful talker. Unlike the parrot, his
conversation seemed intelligent rather
than simply initiative. For instance,
If said to him, "Hello. Jack?' he
would answer, "Hello" and not put
on the Jack" as SO many parrots do
when one says, "Hello. Polly!'
But he could initiate me also. He
found that when any one called and
said, "Hello, Wood!" my reply was
low "Hello" He tried in every way
to initiate that low tone Of mine and
finally succeeded. He would go over
to his water trough and with his head
in the air would cry. "Hello. Wood!'
Then down would go his head in the
trough, and out would come the "Hel-

China's FLOATING Islands.

On all the great lakes of China are
found floating islands, which are enor-
nous RATS of bamboo overlaid with
earth and bearing on the surface Of
the water pretty houses and gardens
They are. in fact, aquatic farms. bear
ing crops of rice and vegetables. The
rich bottom mud, utilized as an artif}-
cial soil, is extremely fertile and yields
bountiful harvests, though on a small
scale. In a country where there is a
lack of available land the floating
plantations are most serviceable. large
sails being attached to the dwelling
house as we'll as to each corner Of the
island whenever it is desired to move
about. After gathering a crop of
grain o. garden produce from his farm
the floating farmer casts his nets into
the water and from their depths brings
up a supply of fish for his family.

Delicate Generosity.

One Of the many stories of Grant
which grip the hearts and minds Of
the people was once told by General
Simon B. Buckner at q meeting of
Confederate veterans.

had befriended him at one time. and it
can justly be said of him that he never
forgot kindness. After the Union
victories at Henry and Donelson met

his own army and followed me with
that modest manner peculiar to him

1T seemed to me- concluded Cen

the light would witness that act of
generosity and sought to hide it from
the world, almost from his own soul"
