MISPLACED SWEETNESS. Mamma Suffered on Account of Her Sou’m Lot eiuakinff, She was pouring tit a tea that after-' noon, anil she looked unusually bewitching. He was sitting at her left in a bower of palms that almost concealed him. He was holding one of her hands under cover of the tablecloth. I while she tried to pour with the other. I She did not look at him as he talked, ' but he knew by her color and the little quiver of the hand he was holding that she heard everything he said. "Dearest.” he murmured as she sent one cup off without a spoon and anoth er tilled only with whipped cream. I "dearest, if you don't mind my saying all this to you, just drop a spoon. Couldn't you manage it’/” A clatter of silver and more color in the girl's face as, in stooping to pick up the spoon, he kissed her hand. Spurred by Uris success, he went on, "Dearest, if—if you return it—that is, if you love me, you know Just put three lumps of sugar into the next cup you pour—'y-e-s'—or, if you don’t, two, to, spell 'no.’ ” One. two. three! The tiny cup was almost full, but in her haste to hide her confession she covered the three lumps hastily with chocolate mid cream and sent them off. He asked his mother, as they drove homo that night, if she had enjoyed herself. "Ugh! No!” was her disgusted re-' ply. "Such horrible stuff to drink as they gave one!

The trip on one of these fine steamers is replete with interest. The island of San Sal vador, discovered by Columbus in 14112, is the first land sighted after leaving New York harbor, then Fortune island, then the eastern coast of Cuba, and then Jamaca. The ship stops two days at Kingston, but the passengers may, if he wishes, stop over until the’following steamer, or longer if desired. Jamaca will not fail to interest the visitor for an ex tended period. Continuing the voyage across the Carribliean sea, Port of Columbia, South America, is the next stop. Then comes Carthagena. the old Spanish stronghold of the new j world, with its magnificent harbor and | its fine old walls and churches. Next| is Greytown. Nicaragua, where the canal is to be built, and lastly, Port| Limon, Costa Rica, where the cargo of coffee, spices am 1 bananas is taken on for return trip. Such a voyage may be made in less than thirty days for the round trip and at a surprisingly low cost. Write Decatur, Indiana, ticket agent, Erie railroad, for per

ANXIETY OVER A TOMCAT. A Mystery Which Wni Explained by a Wall Street Man. It was in a Broadway pharmacy. A reporter was waiting with others when the druggist stepped to the telephone and. after getting the number he called tor. said: “What is that tomcat doing?” He listened with apparent excitement end added: "How Is spinach?” After holding the receiver to his ear for a few moments he rang off and started to attend to his customers. He seemed nervous, however, and finally excused himself in the midst of tilling an order and called up the same number ou the telephone again. “Sell my tomcat at the market,” be said as soon as he had some one at the other end. Then he returned to his customer with apparent ease of mind. The reporter wondered what the druggist meant by this strange conversation until it was explained by a Wall street speculator. "Tomcat,” It seems, is a pet name among brokers for Tennessee Coal and Iron stock. “Spinach” is the familiar name for Southern Pacific. The druggist had evidently bought ‘'tomcat" low. aud his excitement was caused by his eagerness to “take profits." These are not the only stocks that have pet names in "the street.” People's Gas of Chicago Is known as "Postoffice.” and Brooklyn Rapid Transit Is known among many as "Little Manhattan.” The names are not the same In all brokers’ offices. The Jargon enables customers to give orders over the telephone to their brokers with a certain amount of secrecy. The practice is as old as “the market.”—New York Mail and Express. friendly, bnt Ineffective, The Hague. Dec. I(l.—Mr. Krugei received a message from the czar Friday night.

llnrdf'Nt Tank of the Day. Hanluppe—l always do my hardest work before breakfast. Borrowell—What's that? Harduppe— Getting it.—Philadelphia Jupiter Warmer Than the Earth. The gigantic mass of Jupiter has a milch larger warmth than that of the earth. It is the result of the molecular movement produced by the compression of the strata and must be greater the more powerful the masses, and hence the larger the pressure of the strata is. Jupiter surpasses the earth in point of mass 307 times, and for this reason the inner temperature or individual warmth of the planet is probably high enough to evaporate the water upon the surface quickly, so that water vapor forms the principal substance of the atmosphere of Jupiter. Water vapor is an excellent reflector and readily accounts for the bright radiation of light emitted by the planet. Professor Hughes in < bi< ago Tribune.
