TALKINC FEET TO CELEBRITY.
!• Laughed Ln«t,
A certalh lady who .wished to have
some fun (at the expense of an agent
who had (ofttlmes solicited, her to In
sure herself and family, asked, him on
one occasion if he would Insure the cat
The agent, to the. astonishment and no
. small amusement, pf- some friends,
I promptly offered', to do so,-provided ahe
paid toe first premluth. down., The
lady, still thinking to hoax him, ex
pressed her willingness to do so, and
placed a shilling' on the table. The
agent quickly produced a proposal,
filled It In and obtained her signature
while those present were on the'tlptoe
of expectancy as to what was to fol
low.
“Now, madam, with your permission,
may I seo the eat?"
"Certainly," she replied, at the same
time pointing to a glass case which
contained toe stuffed remains of the
poor defunct cat
A chorus of derisive laughter burst
from all present bat to tbeir dismay
the agent turned, bowed politely, at the
stvme time picking up the shilling, and
exclaimed:
“When that cat dies, madam, kindly
call at our office and claim the Insur
ance money. Qood morning.”—London
Telegraph.
The First Store,
The most Important uses of fire were
taugbt by fire Itself. As the primitive
man stood near the flames of the burn
ing tree and felt their pleasant glow he
learned that fire may add to bodily
comfort, and when the flames swept
through a forest and overtook /» deer
and baked It be learned that fire might
be used to Improve the quality of his
food. The bint was not lost He took
a burning torch to bis cave or hut and
kindled him a fire on his floor of eartb.
His dwelling filled with smoke, bnt be
could endure the discomfort for the
sake of the fire's warmth and for the
sake of the toothsomeness of the cook
ed meats. After a time a bole was
made In the roof of the hut, and
through this hole the smoke passed out.
Here was tbe first stove. The primi
tive stove waB the entire bouse, the
floor was tbe fireplace and tbe bole In
the roof was the chimney. The word,
“stove” originally meant “a heated
room.” So that If we should say that
at first people lived In their stoves we
would say that which Is literally true.
—St. Nicholas.
Practical DI.Kno.llu Sign of Death.
Dr. Ott of Llllebonne (through Jour
nal des sciences medicates de Lille)
suggests the following practical and
simple method of ascertaining whether
or not life Is present: The point select
ed Is the forearm, which Is quickly ac
cessible, Is free from hair and Is easily
exposed. The arm Is extended Horizon-
tally from the body end the forearm
pronated. If the test Is made In'the
open air a cloak Is. held so as to shield
the part from all motion of the atmos
phere. The flame of a candle Is now
directly applied to a spot on the fore
arm, which is closely watched by the
observer. At the end of a few seconds
a swelling rapidly forms and bursts.
If It contains Mr or gas the tissues are
lifeless. If It contains liquid or exuda
tion life Is present.
The late Marshall Field, that greet merch
S t prince of (Jhlcngo, sent tor me niter I
d treated his feet, which came very near
frightening the wits out of me until he snld,
"my feet are all right, but what I want you
to do Is to tell me all about my feet.” To be
worried almost to death with corns, bun
ions. ingrowing nails and perspiring feet
Is absolutely unheoessary. I remove them
Instantly wltbbut pain or blood. It Is a
most pleasing experience. Twenty-five cents

"Man In the Street."
Emerson was not the first to use this
phrase In his “Conduct of Life,” which
was published In 1800. In the first se
ries of the "Qrevllle Memoirs," under
date March 22, 1830, occurB the follow
ing passage:
"Then will come the question of a
dissolution, which one side affirms will
take place directly, and the other that
the king will not consent to It, know
ing, as 'the man In the street* (as we
call' him at Newmarket) always does,
the greatest secrets of kings and being
the confidant of their most hidden
thoughts.”
It would appear from this that the
expression was In common use among
racing men In 1830.—Notes and Que
ries.
The Drama of the loneet.
We never tire of the drama of sun
set. I go forth each afternoon and look
Into tbe weet a quarter of an hour be
fore sunset with fresh curiosity to see
what new picture will be painted there,
what new phenomenon exhibited, what
new dissolving views. Every day a
new picture Is painted and framed,
held up for half an hour in such lights
as the great artist chooses and then
withdrawn and the curtain falls. The
sun goes down, long the afterglow
gives light, the damask curtains glow
aloug the western window, the first
Btar Is lit, and I go home.—From Tho-
reau's “Winter."
Power of Word*.
Words have not their Import from the
natural power of particular combina
tions of characters or from the real ef
ficacy of certain sounds, but from the
consent of those who use them and ar
bitrarily annex certain Ideas to them,
which might have signified with equal
propriety by any other.—Oliver Crom
well.
Persistence.
The way to reach or to attain to any
thing Is to bend oneself toward It with
all one's might, and we approximate
It just In proportion to the Intensity
and the persistency of our effort to
attain It—Success Magazine.

Superstition. of Farmer*.
Farmers “stick to the moon" In re
gard to planting corn and other crops.
Some of them will not under any cir
cumstances .plant com on- moonlight
nights, claiming that corn planted then
will produce a tall stalk with a short
ear. Others just as successfully plant
when they are ready, when nights are
dark or moonlight, as tbe case may be.
Other notions are Indulged lu, such as
throwing the cobs In running water to
keep corn from firing. Some farmers
would under no consideration burn
plnder hulls, the seed of which Is to be
used for planting. They must be scat
tered along a path or highway, to be
trodden upon In order to secure a good
crop. Green butter beau hulls must be
thrown In a road after being shelled
for table use from day to day to insure
a good crop the following seasont—

Any One Can Spell Shakespeare.
One is . not in danger of misspelling
the word Shakespeare. Some one has
discovered 4,000 ways, of which the
following: as they actually appear in
old documents, are examples). Shak-
spere, Sbaxpere, Shakaplre, Scnaxper,
Shakespere, Shagpere, Schakspeyr,
Shnxespere, - Shaxpur, Sharper, Sbak-

splre, Shakesplre, Shackespeare, Shaka-
spear, Sbakspear, Shaxpeare, Sbak-
speere, Shaxpure, Shackspeyr, Shak-
spear, Schakesper, etc. If toe chirog-
rapby of Shakespeare himself Is any
authority twenty-two of these ways
are correct.
A Nation of Sleepers,
“Rare slumberers are the Turks,” de
clares a writer. “In the villages, at
any rate, they will drop Into the land
of dreams on the slightest pretext and
at the shortest notice. This habit has
advantages, one being that the Turk
does not at all mind being awakened
In the dead of night, for tbe simple rea-.
son that be can go to sleep again the
Instant he wishes. When staying In
very limited quarters I have often
heard a member of the family get up
and after searching about among his
sleeping companions thoroughly rouse
them all to ask where his tobacco was
or upon some equally alight excuse."
Enough Money.
Half a dozen brokers were discuss
ing Russell Sage and hie peculiarities
when one of them told this Btory: Tbe
financier was once asked, “When does
a man get enough money, Mr. Sage?"
“When he gets ?10,000 more," said Un
cle Russel) as he stopped at an apple
stand for a moment. Then he passed
on without buying.
Bla Part.
' "Look here,” remarked the thrifty
man to hie. extravagant wife, “you’re
carrying too much sail, my lady."
"I don't know why you should both

“No?" Bald he. “I think 1 should,
since I have to raise the Wind.”
