Mr. McCory, seeing the < all in a state of prosperity, got himself lup amt girding his loins with the gar- ‘ ments of awfulness, grabbed up a pushpaddle and began to punch the breeze in the direction of the calf. Thecalf.divini ins bis austere intention, got himself 1 hence, with Tom -is rear guard. He strut k at the calf and hit a piece of atmosphtre, thus bteaking the paddle. But finally, after arguing the point with said calf, he, the calf, withdrew himself to other feeding places.

Beds and Sleeping.

A German doctor has been Investigating the question of beds, and the rfc. suit of his labors bas been lately given to the world in the pages of a German Journal. In the first place, to convince mankind of the importance of his subject, the"doctor reminds all mankind that we spend from one-fourth to onethird of our lives in bed, after which he proceeds to advise the world on the healthiest kind of couch and the most sensible manner of reposing thereon. A hard bed appears to be the best, and it Is laid down that children from the earliest years should be trained to sleep on these hard beds. Soft beds are too warm and do not admit sufficient air. Even In the case of the hard bed the sleeper Is warned to see that bls covering, whether woolen or cotton, Is not so heavy that the body Is kept overwarm and fresh air is excluded. This ventilation, according to our authority, is all Important But what will middle aged people say when the man of science bids them dispense with their pillows? Pillows, he declares, are evils, and It Is right that we should sleep with limbs uncramped on a perfectly horizontal plane. Knowing the weakness of human flesh, however, the doctor declares that if pillows are retained they should be neither too soft nor too thick. A point on which most people will agree with this authority Is the necessity for constant (the doctor asks for daily) airing and sunning of the bedding. Much 111 health may be attributed to carelessness In this matter. —London Globe.

A Story of Whistler.

The Boston Transcript says: “A diverting anecdote is told of the boyhood of Mr. Whistler, the greatest modern impressionist. He was apprenticed to some engineers who were etching elaborate maps~on~ copper. One day his employer asked him If he also could etch maps on copper. ‘Oh, yes. I can etch.' promptly answered young Whistler. “As a matter of fact he had never used an etching needle tn his life. However, they gave him the copper, and he set to work, making a very fine and beautiful map. But round the edges of the plate, which when bitten in with acid are always stopped out, he etched some characteristic little sketches of the different members of the firm, including a very humorous one of the chief himself. “Shortly after he happened to go away for a week or two for his holiday. Meantime the plate had been bitten in and printed with all of the dreadful little caricatures that lie had forgotten to stop out appearing in startling prominence, the sketch of the chief being especially remarkable because of Its great resemblance to that gentleman, who was so enraged at the indignity of the thing that immediately on Whistler’s return he dismissed him.”

The Gold Brick Swindle.

"The gold brick swindle,” said a business man quoted in the New Orleans Tinies-Democrat, “is one of the most plausible propositions ever advanced and has landed some of , the cleverest business men tn the country. A number of years ago It used to be a common thing for banks In the west to buy gold bricks—l mean real ones—and frequently there were the best of reasons for keeping the transaction quiet. “It often happened that the owner of some partly developed mine would make an unexpwted strike and wish to buy the adjacent property. Naturally lie would want to bold back the news of his discovery until lie secured tlie land and If be had any bullion to dispose of would make the sale as quietly as possible. The banks became accustomed to deals of that kind and were consequently pretty easy prey for the gold brick swindler who turned up with n precisely similar .rt“I don’t (relieve 1 exaggerate when 1 say that fully one-third of all the banking bouses In the western mineral belt were at some time victimized by thia game.”

A Dogfight in Church.

The Westminster Budget says that it was once usual tor highland shepherds to take their dogs to church and leave them outside the pews. Two shepherds at enmity sat on opposite sides of the aisle one Sunday. Soon after the sermon began (he dogs, one a collie and the other not seemed to enter into their masters' quarrel. One tender of the flock and the other egged on his animal, and each faithful dog olreyed Ids master. The people at last craned their necks over the pews, and when the dogs actually fought not a few of the congregation were standing up. Tha minister's patience was ultimately exhausted, and so he called to bls “bearers" and said. “Air. weel. my britherln. I see ye are more Interested In the dogfight than In my sermon, and so HI close pie buike- and I’ll bet half a crown on tbe'ColHe!"

Had It Lowered.

Sir Augustus Harris once settled the pitch question In hlk own offhand fashion. A famous prims donna of bla opera company came to him complaining that the piano used for vocal reberfPsals was too high and asking that tt might be lowered. “Certainly," replied Drurlolanua, with a bow. "Here, Forsyth, have a couple of inches tawed off the legs of this piano.”

Played It to the Limit.

Mk.y writers have declared that an Irish gentleman’s hospitality Is unlimited, but this Is a slight exaggeration, as is shown by a story borrowed from a book of Irish memories. Jerry McCartie was often the guest of friends who an accotmt of his pleasant ways extended to him that sort of old Irish hospitality which enabled a visitor in my own family who came for a fortnight to stay for six years. ’ In McCartle’s case the visit stretched to nearly double that time. After eight or nine years, however, his klnsmangot a little Tired of his guest and let him know of his old mansion’s proposed renovation and that he had signed a contract for having it painted from garret to cellar. “By George,” said Jerry, “It’s fortunate that 1 don’t object to the smell of paint, and it will be well to have some one to keep an eye on the painters now that the wall fruit is ripening.” . Some months passed. Then his host informed him that he was going to be married, adding, “I thought I’d tell you In good time, so that you could make leisurely preparations to go, as the lady and you may not hit It off as well as you and 1 do.” With tearful eyes Jerry grasped his cousin’s hand, saying: “Oh, Dan, dear, you have my hearty thanks for your consideration; but, dear, dear boy, surely if you can put up with her I can.”

The Rogues' Refuge.

There Is one corner of Central America that Is at present a perfect paradise for men who have committed any crime. It is a place where the outcasts of the world’s society rule the land of their adoption and where the officials of the government protect all thieves that come to them and make it dangerous for any detective to molest them. This Is the republic of Honduras, one of the least advanced of the states of South or Central America. Honduras Indeed is a curious mixture of jungle and gigantic forest, of cocoa and of rubber trees, of bugs, vampires, snakes and crocodiles—of all manner of things that creep and crawl and sting and bite; a region where life In the daytime is a mockery and at night one feels as though sleeping in red pepper. Here, in every hamlet and city, are to-be found men from different lands, mostly outlaws from their own country. Chicago, Boston, New York and Philadelphia all furnish their quota. England. France, Italy and even far away Russia have their share. They make no attempt at concealment, bear the names they were born to bear and go along about their business as if the laws of their own country had not declared them outcasts.—London Express.

Naming the Chinese Baby.

In China girls are called Instead of Mary Ann or Marguerite “Spring Peaeh,” “Cloudy Moon.”. “Celestial Happiness” or what may not be considered so nice, “Come along a-little-brother” or “Add-a-younger-brothcr” or “Lead - e verlasti ng - younger- brothers.” The latter means that a son would have been more welcome than a little “go away child,” as they call the girls. They belong to the family of the husbands to be and do not count in the family of their birth, so that when a Chinaman is asked. “How many children have you?” he makes no count of the girls, although he may have ten. The boys only he counts, and his reply will indicate only the number of boys. He gives his sons such names as “Ancestral Piety,” “Ancestral Knowledge,” “Practical Industry,” "Able to Sing Out.” “Second God of Learning,” “Excite the Clouds.” “Beginning of Joy,” “All Virtue Complete." The little slaves who begin life as household drudges before they graduate lower answer to such names as “As You Please," "Sparrows’ Crumbs,” “Joy to Serve,” "Your Happiness,” “Not For Me.”—Kansas City Journal.

A Little Mistake in Medals.

The chief officer of a Yorkshire yeomanry regiment while congratulating one of the troops on its appearance made a stirring allusion to the medals worn by some army Veterans in the ranks. One of the men, a native of Wharfedale. afterward went home In a very thoughtful frame of mind, and next morning be came on parade with several medals on his breast. Sahl the officer, “I didn’t know you had been in the regulars.” “No; 1 ain't.” said the man. “Well, bow about the medals, then, my good fellow? They can't be youra.” The man promptly answered: “Can’t they? Aye, but they be. My old coo won 'em all at Otley show"—Upper Wharf eilale.

Not Available.

When at 3 o’clock one morning Mrs. Newman was convinced that she heard a burglar in the parjpr. she cautiously awakened her busband. “Very well." said Mr. Newman, with a drowsy patience born of frequent similar alarms. “I’ll get my revolver from the drawer and go down and Investigate.” "But, William." said bls wife, with a sudden gasping remembrance, “your pistol hin't here, dear I—l tied It up with rlbbous for «n ornament under your father's sword today I”—Youth's Companion.

Means to the End.

Goldrox—So you Vfant to marry nay daughter. Wbat means have you to that end? Mr. Forcben-Hunt—Oh, we’d be married In the usual way—by means of a minister. That’s easy enough.—Philadelphia Press.
