MISS BURNSIDES ENTER AINS
A party of thirty-five college boys and girls were delightfully and informally entertained last evening at the home of Miss Nina Burnside. Story telling, songs and recitations formed the evening's pleasure together with apple roasting and the toasting of marshmallows. A thoroughly good time was the inevitable result.
You Get Results. One of the members of the Mt. Meridian hand lost a valuable cornet here on the night Siniuel Gompers spoke at the interurban station. The loss was advertised in the Herald and as a result the loser got his instrument. It pays to advertise in the Herald.
So Bad as That! A young medical student who was •ailing upon a girl volunteered to sing ind help entertain the company which arrived unexpectedly. At the end of his second solo he turned to the young lady and remarked: “I am thinking of taking vocal lessons. *©o you know of a good teacher?" “Yes. indeed," was the quick reply, “I know the very one for you. Here is his address,” and she scribbled the name on a card, giving it to the student. Next day he called up the teacher by telephone: "Is this the instructor of vocal music?” “The what?” was the answer. “The vocal teacher?" was repented. “Naw,” came the reply. “I don’t tench nothing. I file saws!”—Ladies' Home Journal.
Most Northern Canada. Of the possibilities of extreme northern Canada a traveler writes: “The country that one passes through from Athabasca Landing down to the Arctic Red river is full of vegetation and will, in my opinion, onb day be settled, iu all the mission gardens at the different posts that 1 passed 1 saw wheat and barley growing, potatoes, lettuces, turnips. carrots and every kind of vegetable that one grows In one’s own garden at home. The country is thickly timbered near the banks of the river, and there are few places In which you do not find large patches of prairie. You pa s by a great outrush of natural gas, and oil is oozing out for miles along the river hank."
A Sense of Propriety. “So you stole this man's ax?” said the judge. “Ycssah. I reckons dar aiu' no use tryiif ter spute de facts." “What did you do that for? He said he would have been perfectly willing to lend you the nx." “Y’es; but you see, jedge, dat man’s ou’y jes' moved In de neighborhood. I doesn* know him wel enough ler go 'roun' ter his house borryln’."—Washington Star.
Hard to Say. “If your mother bought four baskets of grapes, the dealer's price being a quarter a basket, how much money would the purchase cost her?” asked the new teacher. “You never can tell," answered Tommy, w ho was at the head of his class. “Ma’s great at bargaining!”—Ladles’ Home Journal.
Accepted. "Quills has had a story accepted at last," remarked a journalist to a colleague. "Surely not," was the rejoinder. "Yes. He went home at 2 o'clock this morning with an awful yarn, and his wife believed it”
A Big Door. The following is a copy of a bill posted on the wall of a country village iu England: “A lecture on total abstinence will lie delivered In the open air. and a collection will be made at the door to defray expenses."
Surface Transit. “Step lively, please." said the conductor. “If I was young enough to do that." responded the aged passenger, climbing aboard. "I’d walk and bent your car.”—Plillndelpliia Ledger.
Depth of Cyclones. From the study of clouds an official of the United States weather bureau concludes that ordinary cyclones which traverse our country from west to east are not more than two or three miles in depth, although their diameter is many hundreds of miles, in other words, their motion does not affect the upper regions of the atmosphere. In the ease of hurricanes this authority finds that the depth is greater, amounting to ns much as five or six tulles. But higher currents blow directly across the cyclonic and nutlcyclonlc areas which produce storms and fair weather at the surface of the earth.— Chicago Inter Ocean.
Easy Money. Theodore Hook was one of the Garrick club’s most famous members. He generally arrived at the dull late In the afternoon and "never went home tili morning.” He had been told by I the doctors, lie said, to avoid the night I air A member of the club in Hook’s time predicted the advent of the millennium at the end of three years. “Ail right,” cried Hook. “Give me a five pound note now. and I will repay you £.'<<> at the millennium.” Engraved cards at the Herald Office.
Odd Contrasts In Climate. New York is usually thought of as being directly west from London. It is. however, despite its far more rigorous climate, !»uo miles nearer the equator than is the British capital. The bleak coast of Labrador is directly west of Loudon. The same line passes the southern part of Hudson hay and Lake Winnipeg. On the other side of the continent it touches the southern extremity of Alaska and continues through the center of the isthmus of Kamchatka and Siberia and Russia to Homburg. It is astonishing, too, to reflect on tlie fact that Montreal, with its winters of extraordinary severity, Is 350 miles nearer the equator than Is London. Montreal, indeed, is on the same degree of latitude ns Venice. Another illustration of the unexpected in contrasts is found In a comparison of St. John’s, Newfoundland, with Paris. Paris has a winter of comparative mildness, while St. John’s is a region of hitter cold and fogs, with drifting Icebergs along its coast. Yet St. John's is 100 miles nearer the equator. —New York Tribune.
Fasting In Japan. From time out of mind, says the Japan Times, certain devotees of that country have visited a celebrated temple at Narlta twice a year to perform the pious act of fasting within its sacred precincts. A “fasting liail" has been specially erected for their accommodation. Observations kept on 220 men and 32 women who fasted showed flint of the whole number CO fasted less than a week, 174 fasted one week. 10 continued fasting two weeks, 14 fasted three weeks, and one went without food for five weeks. Inquiry as to the motives of the fasters showed that 1G9 men and 2."> women desired to rise in the world, 13 men and 2 women wanted to increase their business profits, 10 men prayed for the safety of their families, 13 men and 4 women sought cures of diseases and 10 men wanted general good luck. Only three persons, two men and one woman, fasted in gratitude for the fulfillment of former prayers. "It need scarcely be said.” remarks the Japan Times, “that the period of their fasting was the shortest.”
Snowball Showers. More than one explorer in cold climates has noted the curious phenomenon of a "snowball shower.” The balls, it is true, are not very big, the average being about the size of a hen’s egg, hut they are true snowballs for all that—compressed globes of snow, not little lumps of ice or hail. A fall of the kind occurred In north London iu March, ISCi). and at the time it was observed that the balls seemed five times as dense and compressed as ordinary snow and In no way to he told from tlie usual handmade missiles. They had fallen during the night and were strewn many layers thick over a very large area. No cause—except n doubtful electrical one—can be ascribed for the strange phenomenon, and mountaineers are apt to discredit tlie stories of snowball showers told them by the old guides till suddenly in the midst of an ordinary storm they find themselves assailed ns though by myriads of mischievous schoolboys.— London Standard.
A Patient Judge. A western judge, sitting in chambers, seeing from tlie piles of papers In tlie lawyers’ hands that the first case was likely to lie hotly contested, asked, “What is tlie amount in question?” “Two dollars,” said the plaintiff's counsel. “I'll pay it,” said the Judge, handing over tlie money. “Call (lie next ease." He had not the patience of Sir William Grant, who, after listening for two days to the arguments of counsel as to the construction of a certain act, quietly observed when they had done, “That act lias been repealed.” —Argonaut
Up Against a Hard One. The great delver Into the secrets of nature who had accumulated a fortune and retired from active business in order to lie able to give his whole time to study and experiments was observed to lie cogitating profoundly. “What are you giving your mind to now?” Inquired one of his laboratory assistants. “I am merely wondering,” he answered, “what becomes of all the corks.”—Chicago Tribune.
In Doubt. “That’s a curious looking mule you’re driving," remarked the man who was whittling a pine stick. “Ynssir," answered Erastus I’lnkley. “He is kind o’ eur’tis.” “What will you take for him?” “What'll I lake fob him? Say. boss, Is you referrin’ to dat mule ns a piece o’ property or an affliction?”—Washington Star.
True to Her Training. “Where was the new star discovered?” asked one dramatic critic of another. “In a laundry,” was the reply. “Ah, well, she can’t forget her old calling. She's mangling the part”
The Other Way. “So you refuse me admittance,” complained tlie newly arrived spirit to St. Deter "You turn me off into tlie cold.” “No,” replied tlie old saint “Into tlie hot"—Boston Transcript.
A Suspicion. She—How is it your sister did not sing tonight? He—Oh. the doctor has forbidden her. He says she must not sing for six months. She—Does he live near her?
An errer gracefully acknowledged is a victory won.—Gascoigne.
I A Blunder.
[Original. 1 When I left home for Miss Harmon’s school for girls ray father lived In Illinois. When I was graduated he had i removed to Bankton, N. Y. He gave Die tlie street and number, hut be was a lawyer, aud lawyers were in those days proverbial for their wretched handwriting, so I found it difficult to j make out the address. As near as 1 | rould come to deciphering the name ot the street it was Lafayette. This was j not correct. It was Sabelle street, i Leaving the station on ray arrival, 1 took a cab and told the driver to take me to 50 Lafayette street. When I saw the house I was surprised that my father could afford to live in it. 1 had left a two story frame cottage In the west to come to a four story stone front house in tlie east. I paid the coachman and, going up the stoop, rang the bell. A maid came to the door whom 1 had never seen, and I told her to tell mother that I had come from school. She asked me whom - she should say had come. I told her | “her daughter, of course,” and, going into the drawing room, looked about me at the handsome furniture, still wondering how father had been able to purchase It. The maid went upstairs to make tlie announcement. I waited quite a long while for her return. When she came down she toid me that no one was at home except my mother, who had recently had a cataract removed from one of her eyes and was obliged to remain in a dark room. I was surprised, for I had not been informed of there being anything the matter with her eye, and as the maid said I was to go up to her 1 ran upstairs and through a room that had been darkened so that one entering my mother’s room should not let In any light. Tlie chamber occupied by my mother was so dark that I could scarcely see my hand before my face. I didn’t know which,way to turn till she called me, and even then I went in the wrong direction till she had done so several times. They I found her sitting in an easy chair and put my arms around her neck. “Why, child.” she said, “why did you write us that you would come tomorrow? Your brother would have met you at the station.” 1 was startled. My mother's voice li d changed. Could it he that her trouble with her eye had broken her faculties. “There’s some mistake about that, mother dear,” I replied. "I wrote that 1 was coming on Thursday. Thursday and Friday by a had writer may be made to look alike. Perhaps there’s where the error lies.” I was about to speak of her trouble when I heard the door of the anteroom open and shut. Then tlie door of the room I was in opened, some one hurried in, and a man's voice said: “Where are you, sis?” “I’m here.” "Ellen told me you’d come, and come a day ahead of time." My brother Tom, ten years my senior, never called me anything but "sis” and “sissey,” but there was something wrong with his voice. I had no time to wonder what had caused the change when I felt myself clasped in two strong arms and lips pressed against mine. "What’s become of your beard?” 1 asked. “Beard! I never had one. We’ve been counting on ypur coming. Mother is shut up for the present, but she'll come out all right. The doctor says she may have the light in one week more. Awful glad to see you—I mean to feel you, hn, hn! Can’t see anything in here. Have to rely on the toueh." And lie gave me another good hug and several kisses. “But come out Into the light. I want to see how you’ve improved. You won’t mind, will you, mother?” “Not if you don’t keep her too long.” Putting his arm around ray waist, he led me out through the anteroom, and, opening the outer door, we stood on the threshold between the room and the hall. I say we stood there, and so we did We didn’t get any farther, at least not Just then. Never were two people more astonished, bewildered. We were entire strangers to each other. “Great Scott'.” was ids exclamation. “Heavens!” was mine. He dropped his arm as If it had been shot, and I quickly drew away. “How In the name of”— “I must have—got into—the wrong”— At this point he regained his equanimity. “If you’re not my sister, you’re certainly worthy to lie any one's sister. At any rate. I’m happy to make your acquaintance, even by mistake, though I assure you I don’t usually on so slight an acquaintance”— He paused, and my face flushed crim-
son.
“Come,” he said reassuringly, “tell me how it happened." I told him my story, and he replied that ids own sister, who had been away from home on a long visit, was expected the next day. He Insisted that I needed a luncheon and ordered one, and while I was eating it he tele-! phoned for a carriage. When it came he got in with me and began a hunt for me for my home. Mv father’s name was not in the directory, but I told my new found friend that he was an attorney, aud, driving to the office 1 of one of (lie profession, we learned the 1 address. Ten minutes later I was with my own family. The family Into which I had blundered became my Intimate friends The daughter called on me, and the son has been so attentive to me as to— we shall see.

CORKS HAVE DISEASES.
Caused by a Small Worm Which Spoils the Flavor of the Best Wines. “To the average person a cork is a cork,” said a well known restaurant man tlie other day. "But smell this cordial. Would you believe it?” And he held up a bottle supposed to have the bouquet of cherries all the way from the blossom to tlie pit. Tlie odor was musty and altogether unpleasant— iu fact, it was decidedly bad. He con-
tinued:
“Now, the man paying 20 cents for his tiny glass of cordial after dinner Is entitled to have it free from imperfections. If he bought a bottle of wine with that flavor, lie would say the wine was bad, for ninety men out of a hundred know nothing about had corks. lie would want another bottle of wine or his money refunded, and he would l>e right. “The defect is in a tiny worm in the cork that is often invisible to the man cutting corks and sometimes cannot he seen after the cork is drawn. A customer will taste the wine aud say, ‘Bad wine.’ You explain about the cork, and he will say: ’Impossible. That was a beautiful cork—beautiful!’ And yet we know that Die contents of the bottle never could have that flavor under other conditions. “I tell you there are millions of dollars waiting for the man who can invent n perfect cork that will stand the test of years for flavor and preserving qualities. If it could be proved that his invention was perfect, he would make millions In a month.”—New York
Herald.
MRS. ANDREW JOHNSON.
The Life In Washington Was Not a Happy Time For Her. Mrs. Johnson was so much of an invalid that outside of intimate family friends very few knew her. She appeared only twice in public during her husband's administration. Still, her Influence was a strong one, ard it was exerted in the direction of toleration and gentleness. A slight movement of her hands, a touch on her husband’s arm, a “Now. Andrew,” made it easy to see that tlie woman who had helped him through ins struggling youth and given her health to his service, who had taught him to write and had read to him through long winter evenings in (lie lillle tailor shop that his active mind might lie fed while he was practicing his trade still held her place in his life. She was a sweet faced woman who showed traces of beauty through ttie sharpened lines caused by the old fashioned consumption which was wearing her out. Her face was not unlike that of the late Mrs. McKinley. The death of her eldest son was a blow from which she never fully recovered. Tlie life In Washington was not n happy time for her. She told me herself that she was far more content when her husband was an industrious young tailor. — William H. Crook in Century.
Nubar Pasha and the Pipes. Soon after the occupation of Cairo by tlie British troops the lute Nubar Pasha took a prodigious fancy to the music of the Black Watch aud had the idea of having a servant taught the use of tlie bagpipes. Nubar dispatched a French friend, who spoke English very well, to Interview a piper on the subject. Donald replied: “Weel, he mleht learn or he mleht no’. Bit, let me tell ye, it needs wind an’ mickle strength tae fill the bags o’ the pipes an’ keep blawin'. Sue if yin o’ thae Egyptian chaps took tlie job on he’d need tae be bandaged a’ ow’re like yin o' thae uuld mummies, or maybe he'd burst himsel’.” This conversation was reported to Nubar, who took the piper’s remarks seriously. So lie gave up the Idea of having a skirter attached to his household, as tlie use of the bagpipes was attended with the prospect of such danger to the performer.—Westminster Gazette.
