Hreakfa.t For One. That kaen observer of nature, John Muir, tells in “Our National Parks” a pretty story of a woodchuck. In the spring of 1875 he was exploring the peak- and glaciers about the head of the middle fork of the San Joaquin and ; when passing round a frozen lake where the snow was ten feet deep was j surprised to tind the fresh track of a ■ woodchuck. What could the animal be thinking 1 of to come out so early while all the ground was snow buried? The steady direction of his track showed lie had a definite aim, and fortunately it was toward a mountain 13,000 feet high that 1 meant to climb. So 1 followed to see if I could tind out what he was up to. From the base of tiie mountain the track pointed straight up. and I knew by the melting snow that I was not far behind him. 1 lost the track on a crumbling ridge, partly projecting through the snow, but soon discovered it again. Toward the summit of the mountain, in an open spot on the south side, nearly inclosed by disintegrating pinnacles among which the sun heat reverberated. making an isolated patch of warm 1 found a line garden full of rock cress, phlox, silenc, draba and a fetv grasses, and in this garden I overtook the" wanderer, enjoying a fine fresh meal, perhaps tiie first of the season. How did he know the way to this one garden spot, so high and so far off. and what told him that it was in bloom while yet the snow was ten feet deep over his don? He must have had more botanical, topographical and climatological knowledge than most mountaineers possess. Death by Falling In Pleasant. Most people regard death by a fall n« one of the most agonizing forms of dying. This opinion is erroneous. The first fact to be considered is that the subjective feelings in the various kinds of fall are the same. There are people who have escaped death by a hairbreadth who reached the stage of un-consciousn-ess and who are able to report what they felt. A scientific gentleman who'lias occupied himself with this interesting question for many years liases his observations on personal experience ami on a large number of cases which have occurred not only in the mountains, but also in war, in industrial establishments and in railway accidents.

The victim suffers no pain, no paralyzing terror. He is perfectly aware of what is going on. The time seems long to him. In a few seconds he is able to think so much that be can report for an entire hour on it. His thinking power is immensely increased. In almost all cases the past seems suddenly lighted up as if by a flash of lightning. All phases of life pass before tlie mind's eye. nothing petty or unimportant disturbing the retrospect. Then gentle, soft tones sound in one's ears and die away at last when unconsciousness sets In. One hears the fall of the body, but does not feel it. Small Men's Marital Woes. "Did you ever notice." asked one of n group of friends, "that in ninety-nine out of every hundred separation actions the mini is small of stature? Weil, it is so. .Just notice in the future. Os course in divorce actions the rule will not hold, but in separation suits, where the parties wish to part merely through an inability to live happily together, you will find that the man is slight in build and below the medium of height. I attribute threefourths of the trouble to the man too. The smaller the man is the more egotistical Le Is and will not. as a rule, give way to bis wife in anything. He meddles In the household affairs, decides what the baby shall yypr and takes any wifely rebuke or fault finding very seriously, whereas a big. burly man would laugh, or at least keep still and say nothing. Mind you. I am not saying that all small men are egotistical, for I am rather small myself. but in cases of this kind it is a fact that the majority of complainants are email iu stature and small in mind."- N iw York World. Ten nyaon. Miss Weld in writing of the visit of

Tennyson to her father's house in Lon-i don says: “My uncle disliked an over ■ display of demonstration in public und ’ said that in liis experience 'when young married people keep on publicly raining "my dears" thick upon each other it is a sure sign that a quarrel is at hand.’ "Akin to this hatred of unreal affec lion was my uncle’s dislike to the fulsome flattery and general vapidness of many after dinner speeches, and he de- ! dared to ms that, if called on to make a speecli when he felt he had really nothing to say, he should just rise and exclaim. "Out of my latitude, as I live. Therefore no platitude—pray forgive, and promptly resume his eeat.” Illa Aadlrnce. First Pianist—Did you have much of nn audience ut your recital yesterday afternoon?

You il find him at the Grand Circular. I got it privately.” That was what the city editor had said in giving him the assignment, and yet Wickham was not keen on it, for he had planned to happen to be near the ladies' entrance of quite a different hotel that afternoon at an hour when he had good reason to believe that Miss Olive Parker would be going 'in to get a cup of tea. He was not interested in wandering swamis. Nevertheless he stuck to bis assignment and was presently at the clerk's desk at the Grand Circular, trying to form a plan of Interviewing a traveling swami of retiring disposition. The name on the register was in very matter of fact writing: "John Lyndon Spragge, Liverpool, England.” "Nothing mysterious about this fel low, I’ll wager — common, everyday British drummer. And in ten minutes from now Olive will”— bid Wickham say these thoughts nloud or only think them? Os that lie never made sure. But a sto ky man. dressed in tweeds, tapped him on the elbow from behind. “Looking at my autograph, sir?” Wickham started and turned. “Is this Mr. Spragge?” The man iu tweeds smiled pleasantly. “I’m a reporter,” said Wickham. “So I thought." “Then you have guessed what I want? to see you about?” a fairly good diplomatic stroke, considering how hard it was for Wickham to keep his mind from wandering to the other hotel. Mr. Spragge smiled oddly. “Oh, I don’t know about ‘guessed.’ Suppose we go up to my room." As they walked up one flight of carpeted stairs together he tried to guess Spragge's age, and that puzzled him. He studied the red and brown cheeks and neck, and they puzzled him. too. for be thought an occult person should look much less like an eater of thick beefsteaks. “Is this your first visit to America?” “Yes. but you didn't come here to ask me that.” Although this remark did not necessarily imply preternatural Intuition. Wlckhnm began to feel it little creepy. “I suppose you—you travel for pleasure." By this time they w< ro entering the Englishman's room, on the second floor. “Yes,” he said; "1 do—that and other things." Then, closing the door behind him, he added. "And perhaps Spragge is not my only name.” Wickham gasped mid turned to stare at him. “Are you a clairvoyant?” “I might lie, or 1 might Is l n mnliatma or anything else that would inter cst your renders, and you might be a reporter tor the Express if you were

not in fact the representative o< tMorning Star. What enn I do in pnr ticular to oblige you at present. , Wickham bad forgotten all nl*| Miss Parker. “Well-er-do yoii realij ( possess these wonderful P o '' , ’ rs ' , ~ < "Which? Bilocatlon? Levitation. ( Perhaps." . , 11 • Then, if you don’t mlml. perhaps . you might”— . > I The stocky man broke In with a g ful laugh, throwing his head b:u k m ( the chair. “If you should see me. t. instance, float up to the celling, cliun , and all, what good would that do? “I thought you occultists wanted to convince the public." . , 1 “And you are one of the public > > of eves? But if I did give yon nn ex- , hlbition like that”- Spragge stopped j tantalizingly and looked at the repor . Wickham sat on the very edge of his chair in breathless expectation or something miraculous. "If I did anything of that kind, you u have two columns about it in the Morning Star, wouldn't you?" “I should think so,” said Wickham, relaxing into a more comfortable attitude. The Englishman laughed again. “Well, perhaps your editor might let It get into print, but much more likely he would say you were drunk.' There was a pause. Wickham turn ing over in his mind the probabilities of this hypothetical case. If a reporter was to be accused of seeing double when he reported this kind of thing, what was the use of sending him t< interview a magician? He begun to ! think he had better let the interview go at that. Then lie remembered Olive Parker again and nervously pulled out his watch. At this the other man smiled and shook his bead. “Pm afraid you re too late. Besides, the young lady has changed her mind and gone to a friend's house.” Wickham's jaw dropped, and the stare in which bis face was set was us of one who saw a specter. That evening the city editor cross examined Wickham, for the city editor was confident there was good news matter in this swami affair. “You say he admits that Spragge isn't his real name?” “Yes. in a sort of way.” "Well, what is his real name?" “He didn’t tel) me Ihzt. He's a magician all right, lie knew I wns look ; ing nt his name in the hotel register when my back was turned to him. ‘H'm! Is that nil?" “He knew I was a Star tnan without toy telling him.’’ ‘■Wickham, if you think it would take a mahatma to find that outWhat else?" Wickham turned red and stammered. It was borne in ujion him that the final proof of Spragge's preternatural [<nv ers was much too delicately personal to lie mentioned to the city editor As for putting it into print, that was un thinkable. The city editor sighed in weary dis appointment, looked all around the I room and sniffed. Wickham went to his desk feeling that all his rosy prospects of journal istic advancement were fading; but when he reached his desk, behoid. a square envelope of a delicate gray green tint! He opened it and read: Dear Mr. Wickham—Just home from Mrs. Cowley s reception. wh< re Ale> would have me with her. and I didn't car, to say what in particular urged me t« 1 shop just this afternoon. At Mrs C. s something turned up that may make a good item for you. She and a lot of them are theosophisin and it seems there Is a man hire who gives himself out to be an English swami. Hu' these Boer relief committee women go\ private warning that this Spragge is the same English detective who was watching them at Philadelphia He Is an oid Indian scout service man like you read about. Two of the B. R. C. saw him on the steamboat last night. They teased

me about him. because they said he wu watching us and taking you to be a re- ’ cruit 1 was enlisting for the Boers. At Philadelphia the first thing he did was to find out all he could about newspaper men. gave his name as Southgate and l-.t them think he was some lord in disguise looking for chafices to Inv, st mopey. Can't you make something of this for . the paper? He Is at the Grand Cir. -liar. I think. Cordially, o. p, P. S.—This goes by sts-cial m ss< niter. Wickham thought he could, and he lost no time in saying so to the city cd itor. And that was how it curie to pass that next morning the Star had an exclusive story of Mr. Spragge -how Mr. Spragge, who had ostensibly ar rived in the city the day before anil registered at the Grand Circular, had really spent two days quietly nt an obscure boarding house learning all be could about things not obviously Ins business; how he had played much the same gnmc in at least two other big cities, all to make sure that the Boe* relief committees were not shipping contraband* to the seat nf war. It was a great thing for Wickham's journalistic prosiacts, that story, but it hurt Spragge's career Repairing n Croiva. What curious old records one conies across sometimes l i unexpected ways!
