Kelly tho Dandy.


Eccentrics have fourished In every
age, but possibly they were at their
height In the days of George Ill. and
the regency, when to be odd was con-
sidered fashionable. Take the case Of
Lieutenant Colonel Kelly Of the Chem
First Foot guards. who was very
vain, emaciated looking dandy, but at
the same time gentleman. "He was
naughty in the extreme and very fond
of dress. His boots were so well var
nished that the polish now in use
rould not surpass Kelly's blacking In
brilliancy. His pantaloons were made
of the finest leather, and his coats were
inimitable. In short his dress was
considered perfect"
Kelly was burned to death while
trying to save his favorite boots, and
the story goes that the dandies COM
peted among themselves to secure the
services of his valet, who knew the Sc
cret of the backing. Rrummel was
one of the competitors, but the man
told him that the ESQ year he had
been accustomed to receive was not
enough for his talent and that he
should require f2OO. upon which the
Beau replied, "Well, If you will make
it guineas shall be happy to attend
upon you."-Westminster Gazette.

AIa.ka,. Natural svbm.rine..

The channels of the Alaskan water.
ways vary as you sail on to the north
ward. Now they widen into great
lakes; now they are rivers as narrow
as the Hudson OF Rhine. At times you
pass through gorges walled by islands
and the mainland. and at times you are
in fiords like those formed by the half
sunken Andes along western Patago-
MIA, near the strait Of Magellan. This
part Of our territory is made up Of the
heads of submerged mountains. and in
places there are great rocks as steep.
as high and as sharp as the Washing
ton monument, which come within
twenty or thirty feet of the surface.
These are terrible pinnacle rocks that
rip open the hulls, of the steamers.
They are searched for and marked
with buoys by the wire drag Of our
coast and geodetic survey.-Christian
Herald.

D, 4 ~Yeuna, Old .Lady.


In "The Intimate Letters OF Hester
Piozzi and Penelope Pennington" colt
ed by Oswald G. Knapp, appears an
anecdote Of most unusual old LADY.
There was Mrs. Shelley in Sussex,
says Mrs. Piozzi-her sneering neigh
bors called her Epistle and Gospel
who had two maiden daughters. One
broke her leg and died at about forty
years of age, but the other departed
not until i've years ago. The doctors
told her mamma there was no hope,
and she piously resigned herself to the
loss.
"But tell me at least" cried She
what ails my poor child and Of what
can she possibly be dying?"
"Of age, dear madam" answered her
physician. "Miss Shelley was never
strong, and seventy-six years have
nearly worn her out"
"Oh, dear! Is she really? Why, !
am ninety-four myself, and l am not
dying of age!'
: She spoke truly and outlived her lit
tie girl, as she called her, six years.

A Malian.d Bird.

Long ago the phenomenal power of
the stomach of the ostrich was fmmor'
talized in the idiom Of all the worlds
great languages. To have the ''stom-
ach Of an ostrich is the synonym for
Incompatible digestive power, the su'
preme flight Of gastric laudation'
Those omnivorous beings Of the dime
museum who devour hardware in pub
lie for so much per week are always
down on the bills as "human 0striches.' y
Well, to make a long story short
the whole thing from beginning to end
is nature taking. pure and simple. AS
matter Of fact, the ostrich, II not 9
confirmed dyspeptic, has a most deli
cate digestion. The largest single en-
try in ostrich mortality records is
acute indigestion. The successful feed
ing Of ostriches in captivity requires
constant care.-British Press.

Canny Human Skill.

The ocean comes up and smashes
our beaches and our piers; the wind
blows down old houses and walls and
trees; the rain fills up creek beds and
easements and comes up over the
floors of stores, with some damage to
silks and sugar. 1t is all very big and
scary and horrendous, but still the
puny human climbs quietly into his
dry street car, the antlike commuter
crawls aboard his chip sized ferryboat,
the steamer swings and dances through
the typhoon. and the cigar box office
building laughs at the racket and the
fuss. There is skill behind the car,
the boat, the building; canny human
skill that keeps cool and is not to be
bluffed even by the winds and waters
of the earth, and nature may lose its
temper all it wants; it loses it quite
fruitlessly.-San Francisco Bulletin.

tn, Land Of Lost Beauty.

uUV S0ss0 W .oS
Is there any land for lost and lovely
things-sunsets and jeweled nights and
emotions that have been perfectly
beautiful and that just aren't alive any
more? II there isn't, there ought to
be-some heaven where they could so
on living and forever fulfilling their
loveliness. This is not personal sor-
row. and yet I ache with 1t. As sit
here In my old maids corner am as
tranquil as IL had realized matri-
mony; am busy and happy and just
as much alive as most Of my married
friends. OF course they pity me; they
feel as If life had passed me by, and.
in a way, it has. but am infinitely
sQrrier for them, for they have lost
something that I never had, and most
Of them don't even know that they
have lost It. That's the real tragedy
Of It. Doesn't anything ever last? Or
were Francesca and Juliet eternally
happy because they could die-and
keep their dreams? wonder!-At-

An Eye Test.

Most people believe that they see the
same with both eyes. That this is not
the case one can easily convince him
self by the following simple expert
ment: Cover one Of the eyes with a
hand or bandage and let the expert
menter attempt to snuf out candle
suddenly placed within few feet OF
him. He will almost invariably miss
the fame, either overreaching, under
reaching or putting the fingers too far
to the right or left of the fame. With
both eyes normal and open the accom-
modation for distance and direction is
instantane0us.

snubb;na q Grand Duke.

When the Russian Grand Duke Ser
gius, who was blown to pieces with a
dynamite bomb. was governor of War
saw he thought it would be good
idea If the people Of that city would
contribute to a fund with which to
buy sunfower seeds to be given to
the Russian soldiers, who are very fond
of chewing them. Sergius announced
that every one sending money would
be given receipt, but those sending
1000 rubles ($51O or more. would be
thanked personally by himself. 1t is
said that the response was excellent;
but, though no one sent in 1000 rubles
and asked to be thanked personally by
the grand duke, many sent in 900 ru-
bles and asked for the receipt.-Lon-
