' j Hum is a certain Chicago bride who j V recently decided that her husband was i an unfeeling brute and went home to mother tor a peculiar and unusual rea son. The mother was awakened jnst be fore <lawn one morning last week by a sound of sobbing and weeping outside her own sleeping room door. Iler hor ror and astonishment at discovering her only daughter in the depths of apparent desolatif n and despair can well be im agined. “Charlie was cru-u-u-el to me,” wailed the bride of a month or there abouts mournfully, “and so I came home. ” “But what did Charlie do—the wretch!” inquired the mother, ready to blame the husband on general prin ciples. To this question, however, the bride returned no answer save bitter weeping. Then the mother, feeling that the.case was beyond her, administered a nerve restorative ami awoke the bride's father. “Now, my child,” began this indi vidual, speaking with the authority of one who had settled all her difficulties from the time she could walk, “tell me immediately what that wretch of a husband of yours has done and he shall suffer for it whatever it is.” The bride's ardor cooled perceptibly. Her voice was almost steady as she be gan her story. “Well,” she commenced bitterly, her eyes flashing at the remembrance of her wrongs, “Charlie was out very late last night, and I thought I’d get up and—and—say something to him— when he came home. I had thought that so long as Charlie was going to be so late home I'd—l’d fix up my com plexion a little. So, when Charlie got into bed in the spare room, I just for got everything but him and went in there. And—and”—bitter sobbing again—“l forgot all about the beauty mask I bad on and went right in with it upon me. And”- a perfect paroxysm of tears half drowned her words at this point—“ Charlie must have thought I was a ghost, and he threw a pillow at me.”—Chicago Inter Ocean. FIGURES WITH FINGERS.

Little finger I; little finger and ring finger II; little finger, ring finger and middle finger III; all the fing-ers-of the lefthand IIII; and the hand and thumb at an acute angle form V. In place of the 1111 yon may use the fourth finger from the left, still holding the thumb at an acute angle, and you have IV. Now pass to the right hand. Holding the thumb and the hand at the same angle as before we have VI; by using the index ami the middle finger we get VII. while the thumb and the three large fingers make VIII. Now join the two V’s made by the thumbs, inverting one. and we have X, or 10. Then use the X with the last lit tle finger before it and it will give IX. The combinations following X are ob vious. The forefinger of the left hand, with the thumb at right angles, make a perfect L; the little finger of the left hand curved toward the thumb makes C, the initial of centum (100), and so on with the hundreds. Now join the two thumbs with the forefingers, or two V’s inverted, and you have the hieroglyphics complete. —Philadelphia Times II Hair Turned 11l nek. There have been several instances of a man’s hair turning from white to black. ( >ne of the most notable perhaps was that of an engineer in the fire de partment of Louisville. His age was 65, and he was on duty during a tre mendous fire for 15 consecutive hours. The spray was constantly flying from the hose, ami he became, inconsequence of the lowness of temperature of the atmosphere, covered from bead to foot with ice. He wore a skullcap and a helmet on the top of that, so that hie head was the warmest part of his body and not at all exposed, though his eye brows and whiskers became wet and were frozen stiff. The afternoon after the exposure his hair, which had be come gray eight years before and had for three years been white, turned per fectly black. —Louisville Post. A Willing- Slave. A pretty saying of an army officer is reported by an exchange. He married in 1865 the daughter of a man whose whole heart was in the cause of the southern negroes. The marriage has been a very happy one. “Were yon so much interested in the slavery question when I knew you?” asked a college friend, who had not seen the officer for 30 years. “Yes, but I didn’t talk much about it. ” was the reply. “But after I met my wife's father I became a strong abolitionist, and very soon after I met her I became a slave Detroit Free Press. lie Differed From Iler.

A man who had not been to church for a very long time, says a London ex change, finally harkened to the persua sions of his wife and decided to go. He got the family all together, and they started early. Arriving at the church, there were very few people in it and no pew openers at hand, so the man led bis family well up the aisle and took possession of a nice pew. Just as the service was about to be gin a pompous looking old man came in. walked up to the door of the pew and stood there, exhibiting evident sur prise that it was occupied. The occu pants moved over and offered him room to sit down, but he declined to be seat ed. Finally the old man produced a card and wrote upon it with a pencil- “I pay for this pew. ” “He gave the card to the strange oc cupant, who. had he been like most people, would have at once got up and left. But the intruder adjusted his glasses and with a smile read the card. Then he calmly wrote beneath it: “How much do you pay a year?” To this inquiry the pompous old gen tleman, still standing, wrote abruptly: “Ten pounds. ” The stranger smiled as though he were pleased, looked around to compare the pew with others, admired its nice cushions and furnishings and wrote back: “I don't blame you. It is well worth it. ” The pompous old gentleman at that stage collapsed into his seat. No I)en<lhendM There. I heard a good story that comes from a little town in the northern part of the state Among the members of the Methodist church at that place is an old railroad conductor who has been retired from the business for ten years or more. During the morning service at his church not many Sundays ago the old railroader was called upon by the minister to assist in taking up the collection- -one of tho stewards who usually helped in that work being ab sen t. The retired railroader started down the aisle with the contribution basket and passed it around like an old hand at the business. Everything passed off ! smoothly until he came to a good old brother who had nodded himself fast asleep, and just as he was about to pass by him he was suddenly overcome by the force of habit acquired in his rail road days. Giving the sleeping brother a dig on the shoulder with the basket, he blurted out ‘ Ticket, please!”—Ohio State Jour nal. Two Dear Seat®. Sarah Bernhardt, while in London dropped into a bookseller's shop onu morning. “I sold her quite a pile of books,” said the proprietor, “and shs seemed pleased. As she was going out she took hold of my pencil and asked me something in French which I did not understand. Seeing that I failed to catch her meaning, she looked about on the counters, then, quick as a flash, she took up a volume of one of the very best sets of Scott, bound in tree calf, opened it at the very center, wrote something quickly, calmly tore out the leaf, handed it to me, smiled, and went out. ” The astonished bookseller looked at the leaf and discovered that Sarah had written a pass for two to her perform ance that evening!

But men go to a lot of trouble and expense to lay traps, and sometimes they get up something that is new and effective. I suppose that any man go ing into adwelling hon ■ would be sure to look over the bureaus and dressing j tables in the sleeping rooms. It was this well known prof<-ssional habit no doubt that ha<l suggested tho idea of a trap I came across once, which a man | had had built with a view to catching anybody that might -tend in front of the bureau in his r>> “1 imagine t'ict tin - mm must have been visited beL ■■ :.nd been very much irritated by it. because he never could have gone to all the trouble and ex pense he did jnst for mere protection— there was clearly some feeling in it. It was a. handsome room, promising look ing from its richness, and when 1 turned my light on the bureau, where I went, naturally enough, to begin, I was not disappointed. There was a glitter of glass and silver in the bullseye, and as I swept the light along it struck a pocketbook that didn’t glitter mu - h, but that looked fat and comfortable, and a watch that did shine, and, take it altogether, it made me think that here was the home of a man that didn’t have to work nights to make both ends meet. And so I set my lamp down on one end of the bureau it made me laugh, actually, to think that there was so much good stuff there that I had to shove something one side to make room for it —and put my bag down on a chair that was there and began cleaning the things off. “I’d just put the silver hairbrushes in the bag and had turned around to the bureau again to pick up the pocket book and the watch when I heard, or it seemed as though I felt, a little click, and just the faintest touch of a jarring or yielding under my feet, and the next instant, a long time before I could jump or do anything whatever, a piece of the floor under my feet about three feet square dropped out from under me, and down I went. “But I didn’t give up, by a long shot. I was an ablebodicd. man, and my hands were free—my lamp being then on the corner of tho bureau and my bag on thr- ihair -and I wasn’t go ing to give it up yet, if I was going down a trap. The trapdoor was hung on hinges on tho side farthest from the bureau, and I laughed to myself as I put up my hands and thought how easy it was to grab on to the edge of the solid floor running along just in front of the bureau and haul myself up. Truly it seemed like a waste of money, all the expense this man had been to to put in the trap without guarding against the chance of escape from it by just this means, and I already imagined myself climbing out as I threw up my hands, which I did before I’d dropped much more’n half of my length below the level of the floor, gripping that firm edge very tightly. I was going to make sure of that. “And I got it all right, but in about a millionth part of a second I became conscious of the fact tnat it wasn't stopping me at all; I was carrying it down with me. It was tho front edge of another trap cut in the floor under the bureau, hinged at the back and held up in place by a spring just strong enough to keep it in position. I held on as hard as I could, but if I had had iron fingers and steel muscles I couldn't have held on after the trap had swung down straight. I went down like a ton of lead, and the next minute I found my self sliding through a smooth board tunnel not much bigger'n enough to let me slide comfortably, aud the next minute I’d been shot into a box or room about seven feet square through an other trap in the top of it that closed flush after I camo through. “Now, there was a situation for you. Me in a square box of hard pine, ap parently in the cellar of the house, no opening in it anywhere and my bag with all iny tools in it up there on the chair by the bureau and me down there with nothing, not a blessed thing, to work with. But while there’s life there’s hope, and I never should have thought of such a thing as giving up if I could have had a chance. But I didn’t. I hadn’t been in the box two minutes before there was a slide pushed back up near the top on one side, and a man looked in. It was the boss of the shanty. And in five minutes the police were there, and then I found they had a door in this l«>x big enough to get a man out of. “I have seen other traps as elaborate, but none more costly. He had to cut his carpet, to liogin with, around the traps in this room. Os course that didn’t cost anything much, but it spoiled his carp< 4, and then the cost of the traps and the time contrivance, whatever it was, that was attached to the main trap that let me stand on it for a min ute or two before it dropped, and then the shoot and the box and the whole than S4OO or SSOO.
