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 ssssg 11 do 'i> , £ r Burgeon Chlropodlet-Massaeer-Bnmnrle. P.

"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.

Thomas Bailey Aldrich, commenting once upon file trials of Job, remarked that the only'proper place to have a boll was between “John" and “O'Beil- iy.” ' ,. >v. 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— Cbarleston News and Courier. 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- sper, Schackspeare, Saxpere, Sbacke- 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 er about that," she retorted. “No?" Bald he. “I think 1 should, since I have to raise the Wind.” Brought Down the Honre. Critic—I hear that the new man's act ing brought down the house. Manager —Yes. it did. In one week It brought down the house from 800 to 10 people and the attendants.
