where it will be fairly well out of the
way of the occupant of the room iu

the wall, so that there may be free cir

A fashionably dressed young woman
tame hurrying iuto a bookstore re
cently and approached a salesman with
the statement: "I want to get a book—
It's a red book—not very thick! No, 1
don't know the name of it or what it
Is about, because I haven’t read It. It
has a picture in the middle of the cover
—at least I think It is a picture—lt is
something round, done In gilt. It may
be the name.
“I wish you would hurry aud hunt up
the book, because I nm taking a train
to New York and I want it to read on
the trip. I saw someone reading it
cn the train the other day and laugh
ing over it. aud that’s why I want it.
“Of course I am not expected to
know what it is, but I should think any
one who kuejv books and was handling
them all the time ought to know!
“No, 1 don’t think It was either of
those books—lt was thicker than that
one and more on the cerise shade than
that one.
“Well, I can’t wait any longer for
you to hunt It up.”
As the young woman passed out of
the shop she turned to her companion
and remarked audibly: “Strange how
stupid some of these clerks are! Well,
I wasn’t going to really get It anyway.
I just wanted to lind out what it was!”

Cakes and Sausages In Germany.
“Germany is the land of variety iu
sausages and cakes,” said William
George Bruce. “When I made my visit
to that country recently I took occa
sion to eat at restaurants in practical
ly every city I came to. I nm not
stretching it a bit when I say that 111
one restaurant in Dresden there were
200 varieties of sausages on the bill ol'
fare.
“The same holds good of cakes. You
enter a restaurant or a bakery in which
coffee is served. The obliging waiter
will set before you a specially designed
cake bolder on which the several va
rieties are placed Iu convenient tiers,
so that you pick out any kind you
want without disarranging the whole
“There is another feature of restau
rant customs in Germany that struck
me as out of the ordinary. While per
haps a dozen calces are set before you
to choose from, you only pay for the
exact number you eat. When you are
done with your luncheon the waiter
will count up what is remaining aud
charge you for the difference.’’—Mil
waukee Sentinel.
Incidental Music.
One afternoon a couple from an ad
joining town presented themselves to
a Boston divine and asked to be mar
ried just as he was about to enter the
pulpit 1o conduct an afternoon service.
The minister replied that he regretted
that lie could not at that moment com
ply with their wish, but that immedi
ately upon the conclusion of the serv
ice lie would take pleasure in perform
ing the ceremony. The lovers, after
demurring, seated themselves in the
rear of 11 it- church. When the minister
had finished the service he made the
following announcement: “The parties
who are to be joined in matrimony will
present themselves at the chancel im
mediately after the singing of hymn
-115, ‘Mistaken Souls That Dream of
Heaven!’ ”
A Rhyming Will.
Perhaps the moat peculiar will ever
written was probated In England at
doctors' commons, July 17, 1780. It
ran as follows:
I give and bequeath.
When I am laid underneath.
To my two loving sisters, most dear.
The whole of my store.
Were It twice as much more.
Which God's goodness has granted mo
here.
And that none may r*"vent
This my will and Intent,
Or occasion the least of law racket.
With a Bilerrm appeal
I confirm, sign and seal
This the true act and doed of Will Jacket.

A Wonderful Creature.
The polyp Is the most remarkable
creature on earth. If cut transversely
or longitudinally Into several parts,
each will become a perfect animal.
Trembly turned them inside out and
they ate and enjoyed themselves as
much as ever. lie slit two lo: gifudi
nally, placed the halves together and
united them into two animuls. lie
divided two transversely and created
one with two heads. He pushed one
down the throat of another, a third
down the throat of the second, and thus
formed a creature with three heads.
Paternal Doties.
Modern life with its haste and
hustle leaves too little time for the
Joys of fatherhood. One father comes
home late from business, tired and
peevish, and cannot devote much time
to his children, even if lie would. An
other has had enough of the cares and
worries of the day and seeks dissipa
tion outside the home. Yet fathers
can give their children something bet
ter than money; they can give them
selves. Deutsche Monatschrtft.

A youth with untouched face walked
slowly past a barber shop, t!en back
again, then passed and repassed, each
time drawing nearer and nearer. Fi
nally, as though he had just reached
a determination, lie turned in aud hand
ed Ids hat, coat and collar to the offl
ciating “shine.” When It casno his
turn lie got Into the chair with an air
cf assurance which was rather out. of
keeping with his haunted eyes.
“Hair cut?” queried the barber.
“Xnw; shave,” said the jrouth. “Just
once over, and be kind o’ careful of the
neck whisker."
The barber put his hand over his face
to hide n grin and went to his lather
cup. lie turned 011 the hot water and
passed a wink down the line until ev
ery barber had his gaze that way.
Then, with ponderous care, lie lathered
the face and coolly began shaving his
customer with the back of the razor.
“Does she pull?" he asked after a
lit.
“A leetle raw,” said the customer,
with fine discrimination. ‘'Got a v ire
edge, hasn’t it?”
The barber replied by stropping liis
own hand violently, then resumed
shaving with the back of the razor.
“How’s that?” he said.
“Fine as silk.” said tfje customer,
now grown veteran. “I tetl you it’s all
in the stropping. Jack.”—Baltimore

Solf Winding Watches.
“Watchmaking is no longer what it
used to lie,” said a collector. “Where
will you find today artists making and
selling readily watches worth $2,500
apiece? B roquet was the greatest
watchmaker the world has ever seen.
He was a Swiss, but he lived in
France. The watch collector who
hasn’t a Brequet timepiece has a sad
ly incomplete collection. Brequet
watches were the acme of beauty, of
originality and of accuracy. One
played a tune every hour, another had
on its dial little figures that danced, a
third was a self winder. They were
very ingenious, those self winding
watches. They worked on the pedom
eter principle. The of the

times, just out of curiosity, I take time
to look carefully through a bunch of

A Queer Argument.
It is often urged that eloquence and
affectation are inalienable, lent I main
tain flint tlx* peculiar pronunciation of
certain words if that constitutes af
fectation—is o pardonable fault, of
which many eminent orators are them
selves guilty. In vast cathedrals and
large hulls where tlx* acoustic proper
ties are of an unusual order It is clear
ly manifest that some pronunciations
are preferable to others, for some
words by the very composition their
syllables are not so far reading in
their sound as others, so that*' a ruse
is adopted to gain the desired effect
surely it is detrimental to no one—
