A Remarkable Man. “Tlie man who impressed me most,” Sir Charles Murray once sai<J| “was one I met In America and compara tively little known in England except by lawyers. I mean Judge or Chief Justice Marshall. He was chief jus tice of the supreme court and there fore the highest legal authority in America. I met him in Washington, and he most kindly invited rue to ills house at Richmond when I should visit that part of the country. He Avas a remarkably flue looking man—tall, handsome, a beautiful countenance and the most delightful voice, low and sweet “His knowledge Avas exceptionally wide on all matters and liis manners and life as exceptionally simple. He had known Washington and all the other ‘makers dt America’ and would tell most interesting stories of them. I gladly remembered his invitation and found his house was little more than a cottage, such as a well to do trades man might live in over here. I knock ed at the door, and it was presently opened by the chief justice himself. If he had a servant I never saw him. His mode of life was simplicity itself. Yes, lie AA'as a most remarkable man.” Electric Light Warnings. Don’t let the office boy or any cne else avlio does not understand make changes In electric wiring or lights. They may do the very thing they ought not to. Don’t pull a lamp hung by a flexible cord to one side with a wire and then fasten to a gas pipe. 1 have seen a wire become red hot in this man ner. If the lamp hung by a cord must be pulled over, use a string. Don’t wrap paper around a lamp for a shade. You might go home and forget it, and a fire might start from, the heat. Use a glass or metal shade. That is what they are for. Don’t let a socket on a fixture hang loose. Have It repaired. Otherwise it may cause trouble where least expected.

A rare example of this was shown by Hawthorne’s wife, who proved herself to him a true “friend in need.” One wintry day lie had received notice that his services would no longer be required at Ids of fice. Weary and downcast, he return ed to his humble home. Ills young wife stood waiting for him and no ticed at ouce that something avus Avrong. He told her his troubles. Straightway the brave little woman with her oavh hands kindled a bright tire; fetched pen, ink and paper, Avhieh she set beside Idm; then, with a beam ing face, she touched the sad man on tlie shoulder and said, “Now you can write your book.” Immediately tlie cloud cleared, and things presented themselves to Hawthorne under a changed aspect. lie felt a freed man; the office appeared as a cage from AA'hich he had escaped. “The Scarlet Letter” was written and proved a mar velous success, and fame rewarded Hawthorne and the brave little wife who had faced the cloud and found its silver lining.”—“The Value of a Life.” The Terrible Tarpon. Some years ago a boat Avas found drifting in Galveston bay containing a dead tarpon and a dead angler. The flsh had broken tjie man’s back. A friend of mine, Avrites C. F. Holder In Recreation, was fishing AA'hen a com panion a hundred feet distant bad a strike, and the fish came aboard the former's boat and struck his chair, knocking it overboard. One season a tarpon In Florida waters came Into a boat and knocked the angler over board and sent the oarsman over on to his back. When lie picked himself up lie found his patron gone and. looking over the side, saw him sinking and Avith the boat hook brought him up. The man was stunned, and later exam ination showed that tAvo ribs were bro ken. Between tiger hunting and Mr \xm fishing as a steady occupation the former might be selected as the safer pastime. “We Consider the Source.*’ Little comfort do people get out of Ihe philosophy, “We Consider the Source.” Does it make any difference f urn whom we catch small-pox? If caught from a dirty greasy chlnaman t is none the less a case of emali-pox and the pits and scars will be left just the same if uot properly treated. If the small pox is contracted from the very cleanest source it is yet nothing more nor less than the same old dreaded disease with the same results if left unattended to. Does it alter the oaso wheter An nins or George Washington states a fact? Is it not a fact never-the-lese? Ah ! when we go wrong we sometimes grow fastidious about who shall call us down. The guilty slink and keep silent, but the innocent says : “Show me. 1 am from Missouri.” Did you ever no tice how quiet and lamb-like a fcl.ow demeans himself when you shell him with the truth? The truth is the deadliest quiver that ever hunted tl e mark. Men quake and tremble und r it and keep silent. “We consider the source.” Yes, but while you are con sidering, the people are thinking More people think now than ever be fore in the history of the world. Think for yourself —be your own boss and wear no man’s collar. Oriental Politeness. To look at a high Chinese official through glasses Is to lie wanting In proper respect, and the man who Is forced to Avear glasses all the time should be careful to explain, or he may give offense. To make a aocial call In China in a sedan elinlr with short han dles creates something of the sensation that would be created in America if one Avere to make a social call in a hearse, because a sjiort handled sedan chair is employed at funerals to carry the spirit of the deceased. To send presents wrapped up In the wrong way or by tlie wrong kind of a messenger Is to deprive them of their value to the recipient. To hold one's hand behind the hack Avhlle talking to an oriental is to be discourteous. To walk rapidly Is to class oneself with coolies. To Inquire of a Moslem about the health of Ills Avlfe is to offer an unpardonable insult. To count the children of a household in Africa is to bring bud luck upon them. To Jump quickly out of a gharry In India is, In the estima tion of an East Indian lady or gentle man. as undignified as for a lady in New York to jump over a fence.—Ar thur Judson Brown in Outlook. The Help Question. Rolllngstone Noniosa in one of his journeys stopped at the door of a suburban house, and when the “lady of the boua&” responded to his knock lie politely asked: “Can you oblige me Avith a little help, lady ?” "No,” wa? the response, “I’m afraid not.

Some men In n public house were in** venting stories to pass the time away. They had all had a turn at It except an old sailor, who had remained silent all the time until pressed by the oth ers to spin them a yarn. He began: “I was once in a dreadful storm. AH the provisions were washed overboardJ I was very 111 and ate nothing for foun days. At the end of that time I bega* to feel hungry, and the steward gave me beef, chicken, port wine and eggs.” 1 "But you said all the provisions were washed overboard. Wliare did the beefi come from?” H "From the bullocks” (bulwarks), sal<3 the old sailor. and “Where did you get the chickens j] “From tho hatch.” "And the port wine?” || "From the porthole.” ®! "And the eggs?” I * "Eggs?” said the sailor. "I didn't say eggs, did I?” “Oh, yes you did,” said the men. 1 "We’ve caught you now.” The old sailor thought he was caught and had to consider. At last he said: I "Oh, yes. I did have eggs. The cap* tain ordered the ship to lay to, and he gave me one.”—London Queen. Notice.

A Terrifying Wig. V One day many years ago while Cap-j tain Arthur Cunningham of th,o Brit-J Ish army wns stationed in Nankin, ChU nn, a friend of his stepped Into a bniv ber’s shop, and by way of employing his time lie desired the barber to shavoj his head. This gentleman wore a wlg,| but which, for the sake of coolness, lid had placed in his pocket. This operaJ tlou of shaving, so common in CbiuaJ was speedily and quickly executed, the* barber seeming to be delighted with! the honor of shaving one of the illus*j. trlous strangers. Previous to his leav4 ( Ing the shop and while the man’s at tention was called In some other direcr j tlou my friend replaced his wig upon! his head, little thinking of tho result of this simple process. No soonerJ ! however, had the barber turned around nnd observed him whom he had saj lately cleared of every voutice of halo suddenly covered with a most luxuJ riant growth, than, taking one steady! gaze at him to make sure ho was non deceived, he let fall the razor, cleared! his counter at a bound and, ruunlngj madly through tho crowd, which was! speedily collected, cried out that hej was visited by the devil. London Standard. Jl India’s Deadly Bnakea. j The venomous snakes of India most destructive of life may bo placed In the following order: First of all comes the* deadly cobra, responsible for nearly, I nlno-tenths of the fatalities, and then the kralt, kuppur, Russell’s viper, the' bamadryns and Ilaj-samp. The water snakes kill a good many, but they are comparatively rare. A regularly or ganized warfare is waged upon India’s myriads of reptiles, and In each dis trict a regular head tax is paid upon each cobra und other snake killed.—* Technical World Magazine. NUMBER 23
