His gaze arrested the attention of a gentleman whom he had often seen there before. though not at midday
 Then a kindly deed was done. The gentleman. averting his gaze from me a ;noment. purchased two paper bags of this fruit. Then. placing one of them in the pocket of his rapacions dust coat. he turned to me with the sweetest smile imaginable and without a word offered the other one to me. which gratefully accepted. He then passed on and went upstairs to the Of- fees of the newspaper. That was my first introduction to the prince of jour- naliSts. George Augustus Sala.

Stormy Cape Horn.

The waters of Cape Horn have never been unvisited by storms for more than d week or two at a stretch within the memory of man. Standing on the OutpostS of the world. Cape Horn is the meeting place of ocean currents of very different temperature. from the icy cold waters of the Antarctic drift to tlre warmth of the Brazilian and Peruvian return currents. The pre- v;lilng winds are from the northwest and west. and these, coming from the warm regions of the Pacific. condense into fogs, which the sailors call Cape Horn blankets and which are the forerunners of storms. The extremely low level to which the glaciers of Tierra del Fuego descend, the per petual congelation of the subsoil, the meeting of conflicting winds at very different temperatures, are all direct or indirect causes combining to make this the most constantly stormy re- zion of the world.

One of the Desperate and Winning
 Chances Mike Kelly Took.
 Hugh s. Fullerton, the baseball writ CT for the American Magazine, tells a story about Mike Kelly, the fa- nous player of Boston and Chicago. q generation ago, as follows:
 ."I believe the most desperate and brilliant bit of base running l ever witnessed and the climax of taking chances was by Kelly. The score was a tie late in the game. Runners were on second and third bases, one out, and the opposing inheld was drawn in to cut off the runner from the plate.
 Kelly was the man on second. As the ball was pitched Kelly was on Il run at top speed toward third. The ball was hit sharply to the shortstop, who scooped it perfectly and threw home. The runner going from third slid desperately toward the plate, where the catcher was waiting. Kelly had rounded third base at top speed and was coming up the path behind the other runner. screeching Look out for Kelr at the top of his voice.
 AS the runner from third slid be- hind the plate. trying to get past the catcher, he was tagged out. but before the catcher could touch him and dive back to protect the plate Kelly slid ill front of the rubber, lodged under the catcher and scored the winning run

BAD FOR PRONUNCIATION.
Silent Reading and Neglect of Con-
 versation Are Harmful.

versation Are Harmful.
 Perhaps the most potent of infu- ences toward diverse pronunciation. especially difference in accent. is the fact that we seldom or never hear ill conversation a vast number of words which nevertheless constitute an im- portant and indispensable part of our vocabulary.
 By silent reading and neglect of conversation language itself" declares Richard Grant White. "is coming into disuse." The result of this practice is not only that we are always men. tally registering accommodations pecnl- far to ourselves. which we have no means of ascertaining to be uncommon or ridiculous. but also that the natural tendencies of our language. unrestrain- ed by the conservative force which oc- casional use in conversation might ex- ert. rapidly foster new accommodations and produce diversity of pronuncia- tion even among the most careful speakers.
 All these influences obviously sup plement each other in resisting any trend toward uniform pronunciation and facilitate the progress of the tend encies of speech peculiar to our Eng fish tongue.-Robert J. Menner in At lantic Monthly.

FOOD sUPERSTITI0NS.
Dyak Warriors Won't Eat Deer For
 Fear of Becoming Timid.

Fear or 6ecomin9 Ilmto'
 In rural Germany one still meets with d superstition that he who eats during a thunderstorm will be struck by lightning. Abstnining from food during an eclipse is common among savnges; also belief that in eating the flesh of any animal one absorbs that animals characteristics. Thus an In dian tribe highly prizes tigers flesh as food for men. but forbids women to eat it lest it make them too aggressive.
 In the Kongo women are forbidden to eat birds of prey on the same princi- pie. but are encouraged to eat frogs. which the men on no account ever touch. In the Caroline islands black birds are favorite dish with women. but men must not eat them. because ii one did and afterward climbed CO., coa tree he would surely fall to the ground and be killed.
 Among the Dyaks warriors must not eat venison because it would make them as timid as the deer. Fowls and eggs are forbidden to women of Ban tu tribe because on eating either a woman would certainly fly into the brush and never again be seen. Again, the flesh of many animals is forbidden because the animals themselves-for example. swine--are disagreeable to the eye or have untidy habits.-Ex- rnnnpQ
