"I don't refer to men : who can describe feminine frills with the fluency of a floorwalker 1 mean : the average specimen. who doesn't know the difference between a toque and a Gainsborough. They are keen judges of effects—-better than their i wives. Men often come in here with their wives. The woman begins to try > on all the hats in the shop. The man grows nervous. While madam will pirouette liei'ore the mirror and view the creation from every side before passing judgment the man gives his i opinion without a bit of hesitation. " 'Take it off!’ he will say. ’You look like a Sioux brave with bis war bonnet on!’ "He doesn't know why he disapproves. He couldn't describe the trimming if he tried, but he does know that it doesn't suit his wife. Without waiting a second he gives his decision, and his wife is almost in tears as she sees him turn down some of the prettiest I monels. But he doesn't care how they look in the window or on the head of Mrs Jones or Mrs. Brown. He wants | something that is becoming to his wife. * "At last she tries on the hat he I wants He knows it even before she ! has had a chance to glance at herself i in tlie mirror And 1 would say that bis Judgment usually coincides with , ours."- New York Press.

THE “TOUCH” ARTISTIC. A Delicate Job That the Thief Could Xot Heslst Doing. Wi> have cut society too much on tb« square. Perpendicular ami horizontal lines do not make the only intelligent divisions. The relationship of Raphael with a pickpocket 1 talked to once is more intimate essentially than it is with some makers of "pictures" ano ; molders ol 'statuary." The thief had been arrested because, having obtained permission to live in New York proj vided he did not work there, he was I caught stealing a watch. "Why did you do it?" I asked him. "Well, I'll tell you,” ho said. "1 simply couldn't help it I'm no kleptoroa- ’ niac. It isn’t the stealing 1 like, but the 1 fun of doing a hard job prettily. This I is the second turn I've made. The first I was like this: I saw a rich, fat man in a crowd, and 1 noticed that his watch l was hung in a new way, bard to break ■ My fingers l.ched. not for the watch ' but to break it off. I moved up, lifted ' i the watch, "alked away with it ana then went back and hung the thing on the chain again. This second time | Something like that. 1 saw a delicate job, tried it. got tiie watch, and just then the fellow happened to look for | the time. He •hollered.’ and a detective I near by pinched me. I don’t tliii k I'm , what you'd call a natural thief, but I I like to work with my fingers, and I like i I the excitement of stealing.’’—McClure's. Frederick the Great. In the course of some military evolutions Frederick the Great of Prussia. ! irritated by some mistake of a captain, ran after him with his stick in order to strike him The captain ran away. I The next morning the commanding of- ' fleer reported to the king that the otfi cer in question, one of the most effiI cient in the regiment, had sent in bis I papers. “Toll him to come to me," said the king. The officer, in groat perturbation, came. "Good morning, major." be apostrophized the officer, | who was speechless with surprise. "1 1 want'll to teli vou of your promotion , i lint you ran so fast I could not catch i you up. Good morning” Another time an officer attempted to get a comrade into bad odor with the king by tolling his majesty that he was a drunkard. In a subsequent bat I tie the latter's fitness was conspicuous. ' I whereas his slanderer played a very I I poor part. When afterward he defiled past the king at the head of his reg j iment. his majesty called out to him in ' a voice of thunder. "The sooner you take to drink the better." The Early Circus. Leaving out of count the great cir [ ell---s of Rome and Antioch and coming flown to something of modern times, the first circus in England was on a footpath known ns Halfpenny Hatch, in the Waterloo road. Lmdon. There in 1770, Ast ley s first performance was i given, with the aid of a drum, two fifes i and one clown. A charge of sixpence ‘ was made for the front standing places I There was no building and not even a j tent, but merely a ring of ropes and I stakes. Primitive as were the arrangements Astley soon attracted good audiences and was able to add to bis programme conjuring, transparencies, vaulting and tumbling, with displays of fireworks. In course of time he was able to hire an inclosed ground and erected seats under a substantial roof. He called the place Astley’s Amphitheater Riding house. A Hearty Eater. In a book on gastronomy appears this anecdote of the gastronomic prowess of a Swiss guard in the employment of the Marecbal de Villars: "One day the guard was sent for by the marechal, who bad heard of his enormous appetite. ’How many sirloins of beef can you eat?' he tentatively asked. ‘Alt, monzeigneur. for me I don't require many—five or six at the most.' . ‘And how many legs of mutton?’ ‘Legs ' of mutton? Not many—seven or eight.’ ‘And fat pull -ts?' Oh, as to pullets, only a few—a dozen.’ 'And of pigeons?’ 'As to pigeons, monseigneur, not many- ferty, perhaps fifty.’ 'And j larks?* 'Lurks, mouseigneur. Ar ways.' ” Purely For Ornnment. The trained nurse lias to meet many curious conditions which arise among her poorer patients. One of these faithful women wlio bad a sick girl In I Charge in a miserable tenement lions. ; noticed that the oranges which had beam provides! for the fever patient were not eaten. They were placed in an old cracked blue bowl on a little table by the sick girl's bed, and there , they remained untouched. “Mary," said the nurse one day, I I "don’t you like oranges?” "Oh, yes'tu," answered the girl. II "You haven't eaten any of these,” the > I nurse suggested. ! Mary's mother answered. “Ob, miss,” I she said eagerly. "Mary, she e't a half, i an' me an’ Jimmy, we e't the other half, an' Mary an' me, we says we won't eat II any more 'cause it looks so nice an* wealthy to have oranges settln’ round.” —Youth's Companion. Posterity of Drunkards. A professor of Bonn university in | tracing the posterity of habitual drunk-1 ards has found 834 descendants from a ' woman who for forty years was "a 1 thief, a drunkard and a tramp" and | whose miserable life came to an end in 1 the last year of the eighteenth century. 1 The professor lias traced the Ilves of, 7(>P of this woman's descendants from j youth to old age, and of those 142 were 1 beggars and 64 more lived on charity There were Ju the family 76 convicts | including 7 murderers. The professor estimated that In seventy-five years ■ this family has cost the German authorities in almshouses, law courts, prisons and other Institutions about f].250,00U. < hfengo Journal,

BRIDAL PHOTOGRAPHS. Not Nearly So Mirny Taken Nowaday* an ’l'here I wed to He. Brides are probaldy just as beautiful now as ever they were, but they are not nearly so anxious to record their postnuptial loveliness by moans of pho tographs Most photographers say they are glad of it. "1 never did enjoy taking the pictures , of brides." said a phoiogtaplicr. "Like all the rest of the world, 1 love the dear creatures, but when it comes down tn i $4 a doz< n commercialism they do not satisfy my artistic instincts. Few bride- , j take a good pivtUF". Somehow their togs are not becoming. A bride is sup I posed to look superlatively lovely oil I her wedding day, but if anybody dared to tell the truth on the subject that superstition soon would be exploded and the sweet things would realize that, in- ' stead of looking their best on that oc i I elision, most of them are apt to look I their worst. It is the same way when they come to be photographed in their wedding finery. They are either too pale or too red, and they have a nerv ous. anxious expression that robs the I face of all good lines for photographic purposes. "The time was when no bride consid I ered herself really married until she : had arrayed herself in spotless white I and had her picture taken. Generally I 'he' came with her. ami 'he' looked just about as foolish as she did. Goodness, the trouble 1 have had posing brides and bridegrooms before the camera! Instead of telling them to look pleas ant I always felt like saying. ‘Don’t lock idiotic if you can possibly help it,' \ and then I would have to think up i some device to keep her from scrotuing down too close against his shoulder and to keep him from responding with an equally inappropriate embrace. But witli all my precautions I never fully succeeded in preventing their acting like lunatics. The other day when look Ing over a lot of old negatives I came across several hundred of those sentimental combinations, and I thanked my lucky stars that nowadays few newly mated couples have the camera craze."—Chicago Record-Hera.d. — POULTRY POINTERS. Stale bread soaked in milk and squeezed dry is a good feed for young I ducks. Only medium sized eggs should b« I set. Extra large or small ones are apt ' to produce deformed chicks. > Turkeys are not so sure to con.e home as other fowls; hence it is a good plan to mark them in some way. Feed the young chicks often if yon I would have them growing rapidly, lint ' j do not feed more at a time than they 1 will eat up clean in a ft w minutes. Destroy the old nests as soon as th-' hens come off with the chicks. The safest ami best plan is to burn all of the old material Healthy fowls pick up their food quickly and relish it. When they go at It lazily, pick up a grain or two and then stop something is wrong. Never shut the fowls up In such close quarters that they cannot take enough exercise to promote digestion. Hens treated in this way will soon become too fat to lay. SCIENCE SIFTINGS. Lightning clouds are seldom monthan 700 yards from the earth. Although Jupiter is 1.387 times big ger than the earth it is only 3uo times heavier. All the blood in a man's body passes through his heart once in every two minutes. The average straight ahead motion of the stars is now put at twenty-one miles a second. The utmost distance from cloud to earth crossed by a lightning flash is about four miles. Microscopes which ordinarily magni fy ll.txsi times have their power Increased to 16,000 diameters by immersing the lens in vaseline oil.

Illmliinrrk an a Court Officer 11 was while a student at Berlin or a little later that Bismarck served for a few months ns court officer. Au oft told story of that time will bear repetition here: A witness annoyed Bismarck so much that at last he lost all patience and threatened to throw the man out. Then the judge inter sered. "The court will itself attend to all I the throwing out that is done here," said the magistrate, and the taking of testimony proceeded. Later the wit , ness again became obstreperous. Bis march jumped up in a rage, but. be- ' thinking himself in time, turned his In dlAiiation Into n humorous cbanuel. “Sir," he yelled. "If you don’’ behave yourself I shall have bis honor the judge throw you out of this court room with bis own bunds!" Caged Bird* Live Longeat.
