A story 13 told of a young wife who knew little of housekeeping. She was In eonsequeuoe of that Inexperience disposed to 6tand a bit in awe of the butcher, the baker and the candlestick maker, for she felt sure they must be aware of the extent of her Ignorance In household matters. She ordered only such things as she was absolutely sure of, and she made her interviews with the tradesmen as brief as possible. One morning there came to her house a collector of ashes. "Ash-ees, ash-ees!" she heard him calling in stentorian tones. As the cry was repeated again and again she became more and more perplexed as to what "ash-ees"' meant. Finally she went to the gate In the rear and opened It. "Ash-ees? came In guttural Question from the man. The young wife hesitated for a moment; then, drawing herself up to a dignified attitude, she replied coldly, "No, I don't think I care for any today. At a recent dinner Mark Twain, according to an English report, made a most amusing little speech which was responded to as follows by a lawyer who was present: "Doesn't It strike the company as a little unusual,' he Inquired, "that a professional humorist should be funny? When the laugh that greeted this sally had subsided Mark Twain drawled out, "Doesn't it strike the company as a little unusual that a lawyer should have bis hands. In fels own pockets - "

BEVERIDGE IS INDISPOSED It is Probable That Statehood Bill Will be Placed in the Hands of Senator Aldrich. Publishers' Press Washington, June 4. Senator Beveridge has become somewhat indisposed and exhausted by legislative duties and It is cuite likely that when the conference report on the statehood bill comes up for consideration in the Senate it will be found that Senator Alrtrleh. the Republican floor leader, is in real charge of the measure. Sewing Circle Meets. The Spring Grove Sewing Circle meets this afternoon with Mrs. Irvin Hoover in Spring Grove. To Erect Monuments. Publishers' Press Washington, June 4. The House today passed bills directing the erection in Washington of monuments to Commodore John Barry and to John Paul Jones; a bill permitting the erection in one of the public parks of the city of a monument to Henry Wadsworth Longfellow; a bill providing for the erection of a monument on Kings Mountain, York County, S. C. and at Princeton, N. J., revolutionary battlefields, and also at Provincetown, Mass. commemorative of the landing of the Pilgrims. NAILED TO THE CROSS. The Tvo Thieve That Were Crucified With the Saviour. In nine out of ten pictures of the crucifixion where Christ's two companions in death are represented they are pictured as having been fastened to the cross with thongs or cords. The question naturally arises, Were the thieves in reality bound to their different instruments of torture while the blessed Saviour was nailed to his? And, if so, which mode of death was considered the more ignominious binding or nailing? The. remoteness of the event and the fact that in this case historical truth may have been sacrificed to pictorial effect make the above questions hard ones to answer. The early writers almost Invariably refer to the thieves as having been nailed to the cross, while the early picture makers adhered to the general rule of representing them as having been tied or bound to their separate crosses. If we are to give any credence to the story of the holy Empress Helen and her reputed discovery of the three crosses in the year 328 A. D., the two thieves were nailed to their crosses in a manner similar to that observed in the crucifixion of the Saviour. This conclusion has been settled upon for this reason: When the three crosses were disinterred from the mound in which tradition said they' had been buried, that upon which Christ had suffered was only distinguished from the other two by the miracles it performed. This would certainly suffice to prove that all three of the Instruments of torture bore similar nail marks and that the tradition of Christ being the only one nailed was not known at that time.

THE SOLAR SYSTEM.

Some Facta Which Give an Idea of Its Immensity. In all the heavens, with the exception of passing meteors or meteorites, not one body occupies a position closer to earth than the moon, which is some 240,000 miles away very far, of course, side by side with any earthly distances, but a mere fraction side by 6ide with other astronomical distances. Next to the moon our nearest occasional neighbor is Venus, end then Mars. Both Venus and Mars, however, are often farther away from us than the sun, which remains always at somewhere alout the same distance, roughly at from 90.000.0iX) to 93,000,000 miles. This dividing ppace between sun and earth Is of great importance in thinking about the stars, and it should be clearly impressed upon the mind. Next to the sun in point of nearness come the more distant planets Jupiter, which is about five times as far from the sun as onr earth is; Saturn, nearly twice as far as Jupiter; Uranus, nearly twice as far as Saturn, and Neptune, nearly three times as far as Saturn. All these planets belong to our sun, all are members of his family, all are part of the solar system. The size of the solar system as a whole, consisting thus of the sun and his planets, including our earth, may be fairly well grasped by any one taking the trouble to master two simple facts. They are these, that our earth is roughly about 92,000.000 miles away from the sun and that Neptune, the outermost planet of the solar system, Is nearly thirty times as far distant from the sun as our earth Is. Chambers Journal. AN ODD BIRD. The KIttI of Xevr Zealand Has Some Remarkable Peculiarities. That queer bird, the kiwi, is a native of New Zealand. Its remarkable peculiarities are, first the apparent absence of wings, as the plumage so covers the small, rudimentary, sticklike appendage of a wing that none whatever is apparent The situation of the nostrils at the bill's extremity is a second peculiar feature. While hunting for earthworms It probes the soft ground, making a continual snuffing sound. Thus the scent is evidently of great help In finding food and the reason for the position of the nostrils quite apparent. A third peculiarity Is the very disproportionate size of the egg in comparison to the bird, it being a little less than one-fourth the bird's own weight. One kiwi's egg found weighed four: teen and one-half ounces, while the bird weighed just under four pounds (sixty-four ounces) and was about the size of an ordinary hen. The plumage of the kiwi is a dull brown streaked with light gray, and the body resembles a miniature hay shock, rather badly hacked off at the rear part, as nature has not provided the kiwi with such decoration as a tail. The absence of wings is compensated for by its swiftness of foot and the large, clumsy looking legs, which are sometimes used as weapons, are placed far back on the oddly shaped body. St. Nicholas. That Was All. A young girl who is always trying some new thing was present once when the doctor set a neighbor's broken arm. She w-as sure that she knew exaetly how it was done and rather anxious to put her new knowledge into practice. Some time later a hen out In the chicken yard broke its leg. The girl directly announced that she meant to set it "and make it' as good as new." Accordingly it was put into n plaster cast and left for the proper length of time to knit. When the day came to take off the cast the girl ran out to the henhouse In great eagerness to see the result. Presently there was a scream that brought every member of the family to her side. The chicken was jumping miserably over the ground sidewise Instead of directly forward. You know a hen's leg has a crook. Well, slie bad crooked it the wrong way, that was all. Aliens In Old London. Here is a curious report of the aliens in London In the year 15G7: "There being a great increase of foreigners in the city, her majesty ordered the lord mayor to take the name, quality and profession of all strangers residing within the city of London." The list was headed by the item, "Scots, 40." Other nations were represented by "French, 428; Spaniards and Portuguese, 45; Italians", 140; Dutch, 2,030; Burgundians, 44; Danes, 2; Llegeols, 1." Sharif's Tall For Lnck. Attached to the extreme end of the bowsprit of a sailing vessel there may sometimes be seen a piece of some material that looks remarkably like leather. This seeming piece of leather is really a shark's tail. It Is placed there because the sailors think that it augurs good luck, believing that pleasant voyages will be their lot while it remains there. Instead of the bowsprit the tail Is at times nailed to the top of one of the masts. London King. Different. "Why don't you elope with her?"

The collections made by the girl pupils In the secondary schools In Germany as a gift to the German navy have reached a total of 30,000 marks.
