Ends Hunt for Rich Girl.

Often the hunt for a rich wife ends
when the man meets a woman that
uses Electric Bitters. Her strong
nerves tell in a bright brain and even
temper. Her peach-bloom complexion
and ruby hips result from her pure
blood; her bright eyes from restful
sleep; her elastic step from firm. free
muscles, all telling OF the health and
strength Electric Bitters give wo-
man, and the freedom from indiges-
ton. backache, headache, fainting and
dizzy spells they promote. Every

A Poet Who Dreaded Fire.

Thomas Gray, author Of the "Elegy,'
had a weakness in the form Of a nerv-
GUS dread Of fire. His chamber at ST.
Peters college, Cambridge. being on
the second floor, he thought it likely
that in case of a fire his exit by the
stairs might be cut off He therefore
caused an iron bar to be fixed by arms
projecting from the outside Of his Win
dow, designing by a rope attached
thereto to descend in the event of a
fire occurring This excessive caution
led to q practical joke by his fellows
One midnight a party Of students
Numbered at his door with loud cries
of Fire, fret The nervous poet
flew to his window and slid down the
rope to the ground, where he was hail
ed with shouts of laughter. The win
dow, with it's iron apparatus, is still
shown, it is said Gray's delicate ma
ture was so shocked by this rough joke
that he changed his lodgings.

Practice With Wooden Leqs.

OF the five cases in the accident

hospital more than week after the
other two had gone home.
''They had to stay" said an inferno,
''tO get used to their wooden legs. 1t
takes some time to learn to manage
wooden legs, and most men who will
have to peg along with them for the
rest of their natural lives stay in the
hospital several days after they get
well to practice stumping around on
their new legs. Of course they can
learn outside, but the man who has just
acquired a wooden leg feels so awk-

maybe his neck that we prefer toekeep

Tennvson's CareIessness.

Tennyson, like Thackeray, seems to
have been careless about his manu-
scripts. Some weeks after leaving his
lodgings in bloomington place, Hamp-
stead. he wrote to Coventry Patmore
from the Isle of Wight telling him that
he could not find book of elegies-
a long. butcher ledger-like book and
that he had some obscure remembrance
of lending it to Patmore. If So" he
concluded, "all is well; if not, will you
go to my old chambers and institute d
vigorous inquiry" Patmore, not hav-
ing the book, went to Mornington
Place. but was assured by the landlady
that no such article had been left there.
He insisted, however, on going to his
friends old rooms. "up two pair of
stairs to search. and there in a small
cupboard where Tennyson had kept
bread and tea and butter he found the
lost "book OF elegies" manuscript

DYE Before You Patch.

Never patch a garment just before
it goes to the dyers,' was the advice
of a young woman in a dyeing estab-
lishment. ''Unless the patch and the
thread it is seWed on with are exactly
the same kind Of material as the gar
ment they will come out of the dye
pot different shades. Here is a blue
skirt that was brought to us cream
colored The cloth had worn through
in several places, and the owner had
patched the tiny holes so painstaking-
ly that the patches could not be de-
tected in the original color, but after
the dyeing they showed up a darker
blue. The amount of dye any ma
terial will take depends upon how
much cotton, wool or silk it contains.
It is so hard to determine that exactly
that any garment that has to be mend
ed can be matched much better after
dyeing. New York Sun.

seventy-five years, however, since its

The Telephone Voice.

The voice heard over the telephone
is a mechanical reproduction of the
original voice and differs from that of
speaking tube or megaphone. where
the sound waves produced by the
speaker at one end are transmitted
directly to the other end. In the tele-
phone the diaphragm of the transmit
ter is caused to vibrate by the sound
waves produced by some one talking
into the transmitter mouthpiece. This
diaphragm is connected with Il small
receptacle having flexible front and
partially filed with granular carbon
This carbon offers resistance to cleo
trio current in proportion to the me-
chanical pressure brought upon it.
The, diaphragm, therefore. in vibrat-
ing produces Il varying pressure
against the carbon. The carbon is
included in an electric circuit. so that
the variations in it's resistance will
vary the current strength in the cir

The Funny Penquins.

OF all the foreign birds to be seen in
geological collections it is the penguins
that gain the most popularity with the
least attempt to do so, says a writer
in the London Graphic, who proceeds:
They do not affably converse with the
public like parrots or make grotesque
gramaces like pelicans. Indeed, they
studiously ignore the visitors whom
they attract by their inimitably quaint
caricature of humanity. No birds de-
part more in form from the usual bird
type, and there is something about
them which irresistibly suggests an
