q robust vanity cannot deceive. Anne
Maria's vanity was not robust. How
should it be when she had n beautiful
sister. upon whom the family hopes
and the family expenditures equally
conferred? But Anne Maria had under
standing. Since she could not be or
namental SHE resolved to be useful.
Moreover. she had a palate rare in wo-
mankind and n deft way in the kitchen.
You begin TO perceive the relation of
things. If she had been a beauty she
wouldn't have been n cook. And then
Captain .JOsephus Marshall But sto-
ries should be told as they happen. Cap
tain JOsephus was n bachelor, rich and
cranky. who had two cares in life
keeping his digestion and his free
dom. To say that he was nice over his
eating is putting it quite too mildly.
II WAS the SiAut ltSsliuliS Ills SlliSlC
estate. He thought every girl who was
even civil to him had visions of dover
or alimony floating through her head.
And he was firmly resolver never to
marry; also quite as firmly resolved
that his nephew, AlonZo. should not live
a bachelor nor marry any wife save
one of the captains choosing.

had been at college with the captain.
Naturally when n business deal
brought the captain to the judges
town he was made very welcome in
the Jones home. Naturally also Alon-
20, who came along, went down before
Louella. the beauty. Then the captain
called him names and sent him pack
ing, saying gruffiy, IF you want my
money to go to charity just marry any
thing named Jones'"
When Louella heard that she tossed
her head and went on n long visit TO
her city aunt. Anne Maria stayed at
home. keeping very much out of the
captains way. but getting up such
dishes for him as he had not tasted
since his mother died. Good feeding
is held to breed good temper. but the
captain must have been born to set
rule and proverbs at defiance. The
fatter he got the crankier he showed
himself to be. Indeed, Judge Jones
gave Anne Maria a caution at the end
of the third fortnight, saying: If you
feed up that old wretch much more
therell be no doing business with him.
AS matters stand this whole thing
hinges on his consent. and yesterday
he let us know in full board that un-

CONCERNING STAMPS.
Why Those of Turkey Bear Crescent
Instead of a Human Face.

Every one who has collected stamps
must have noticed the surprising abb
sence of sovereigns' heads from those
OF Turkey. That this is so is due to
the fact that Mohammedans consider a
representation of the human face or
figure unlawful. Therefore Turkish
stamps carry the crescent, which the
Turks borrowed from the ByZantines
after the fall of Constantinople. They
also use a complicated. arbitrary sign
supposed to be the signature of the
sultan. Egyptian and Greeian stamps
are peculiarly expressive of the his
tory of the countries they represent.
The pyramids, the mystic Sphinx. tall
palm trees outlined against the night
sky, a train of camels stopping to
drink from the river Nile-all carry us
back to the very beginnings of history.

INTERESTING CARD TRICK.
1t Is Making One Chosen Appear Any
Place In the Pack.

To allow Il person to think of a card
and &c make that card appear at any
number in the pack which the rest of
the company may decide upon:
After the cards have been thoroughly
well shufiled offer the pack to one of
the spectators and ask him to select
any card he chooses and to remember
the number at which it stands from the
bottom of the pack. This done you
offer to make the card selected TAX
any position in the pack that the rest
of the company may choose to name.
We will suppose the audience to decide
that il wishes the card to appear M
No. Is. Carelessly remark that it is
not even necessary for you TO see the
cards and hold the pack either behind
your back or beneath the table, while
YOU rapidly count eighteen from the
bottom of the pack and place them on
the top. Then. producing the cards.
YOU ask the audience TO tell you the
original number of the card. as you will
begin counting from that number.
Suppose it tells you that the num-
Der of the original card was fourteen.
You begin counting. calling the first
card fourteen, the next fifteen. the next
sixteen, then seventeen, and lastly

impressive as possible, say, Before |

LARGEST SPIDER WEB.
Chicago Man Makes One Out of Ordi-
nary Rope.

The largest spiders web in the world
was spun not by a spider, but by hu-
man hands. 1t stands on the lawn of
a Chicago mans country home and is
of such tremendous size as TO startle
the passerby.
The creator of this interesting oddly
conceived the idea of attempting to see
how nearly an actual spiders web
could be reproduced with rope. Sc
lecting two large trees ON the lawn of
his home, he spun between them this
spiders web. 40 by GO feet. which is so
strong that a mar may easily climb TO
the center or top of it.
The web faces the main thorough
fare. passing the house, and is one of
the most fascinating country ground
decorations ever seen. The spinner
could not attain the minuteness of the
actual spiders web. but came so near
TO it that the illusion is almost perfect.
The uniqueness Of the undertaking
catches and fascinates every eye.
