I Old Tiling. ’As easy as an old shoe, ’ is a fa miliar saying,” said Mr. Staybolt, "and there can be no doubt that an old shoe is.a mighty comfortable thing. After we have worn the new shoes, close fit ting, hard ajid formal, how gladly we put them off, and with what joy we put on the shoes that are old and worn an ri familiar to the feet! Old shoes, how ever, are not the only things old that we like. We like an old bed, if it is not too old, but just old enough, so that while still soft and comfortable it is also shaped somewhat to the body, which it supports at every point, yield ing a degree of oomfort which not the finest of beds can afford when it is new. “But it is so with all things old, that are not too old, including old habits. We cling to them so long as they give us comfort, and we hate to change. We are creatures of habit, who would if we could follow to the end along the first comfortable rut we fall into and never look out above its sides. And it is well for ns that our shoes wear out and that we have to buy new ones and wear them, that we are in various ways compelled to change, that we are root ed out now and then and set going anew.”—New York Sun. The Passion of the Hoar. Every year modern habits become more unlovely and modern sensibilities more blunted. The preservation of what is beautiful, per se, at the present time is almost always ridiculed, unless it can be shown to be joined to some profit or utility. ■ The characteristic passion of the hour is greed—greed of possession, desire of acquisition and passion for osten- has become an octopus em bracing the whole world. The thirst for gain engrosses all classes. Beauty, unless it be a means of gain, is to this temper a useless, or worse than a use less, thing; it is regarded as a stumbling block and incumbrance. It is doubtful if even the power of perceiving what is beautiful has not in a great measure left a large part of the population in all countries. Modern cities would not be what they are now had not the race to a great extent grown color blind and be come without the sense of proportion. Modern builders and modern engineers would remain unoccupied were not the generations which employ and enrich them destitute of all artistic feelings.— Onida in Fortnightly Review. The Birthplace of Josephine. Fort de France, Martinique, is the strongest fortified point the French own in America. It is both a military and naval station, and a fort was erected on a mountain top there years ago, which has since been improved and strength ened by some of the most modem guns known in warfare. During the civil war the United States cruiser Kearsarge chased the Con federate blockade runner Alabama into the harbor, and was on the point of opening fire on her when the authorities forbade it* Here they remained for some time, and during a stormy night the Alabama slipped out and disappeared in the Caribbean sea. ~ Several times the place has been bad ly damaged by tropical cyclones, during which hundreds lost their lives. It is noted as being the birthplace of the Empress Josephine; a life size piece of statuary of her adorns the principal plaza. The fort has had for years but one family—the king of Dahomey and his six wives, whom the French captur ed after great trouble in the African wilds and imprisoned.—Philadelphia Record. His Two Question*. “I say, pa,” began little Clarence Callipers, with the rising inflection oi one who earnestly desires to acquire important information, "what”— "Oh, I don’t knew, ” replied his long suffering sire wearily. "Yes. But the question I wanted to ask isn’t foolish, pa. ” "H’m! If it isn’t foolish, you may ask it. But remember, just one ques tion and no more. ” "Well, pa, there are two of ’em that I want to ask. One is, which is the smartest, the man who knows enough to know that he don’t know much of the man who knows enough to look as if he knew everything? The other is, if the end of the world was to come and the earth be destroyed while a man was up in a balloon, where would he land when he came down? And, pa, I don’t know which one of ’em to ask. ”—Pear son’s Weekly. «. Hunger Madness. The sufferings of pellagra are those well known in times of famine. The effects sometimes do not entirely disap pear. A woman of my acquaintance near Monza, who had the pellagra some years before, was considered cured. She was the wife of a prosperous shopkeeper when I knew her. The only remaining trace of her malady was that from time to time she stopped in conversation, a look of anguish came into her eyes, and she would say in her dialect: “H pan l*e bon, eil vin l’e bon ma il pan I’e bon 1’ ’—Bread is good, and wine is good, but bread is good I The horror of that suffering from starvation had never left her.—" Hunger and Poverty In Italy, ” by Mrs. Dario Papa in North American Review. Anchovies. Sir Walter Scott used to tell a story of one of the nursery gardeners of his day: "An old friend of mine having asked him to supply him with a dozen anchovies, he replied, ’He had plenty, but being a delicate plant they were still in the hothouse.’” Household Work. The library of congress ranks sixtii among the libraries of the world in its present contents. France has the largest, England next; then comes Russia, and Germany follows with her libraries in Munich, Beilin and Strassberg, the last named holding almost equal rank with ours in Washington. ' ; W ? n.rote or th. ruhtraw. It is always with a vague regret that we read the sagas, and are thrilled by the viking’s exploits. It seems as if the deeds daring had gone by forever, and as if the heroes of the deep were a myth of the past. Absorbed in the Norse romance, we forget that the vik ings were only pirates, and that they dared for slaughter and for booty.#- If the Gloucester of today had only existed then, what heroic saga would it not have inspired I For to risk life far glory or riches or rescue or love is in the heart of every man to do, but to risk life for a bare existence, for other peo ple’s profit and for an anonymous end partakes of that commonplace sublimity which does not form the favorite plot of poets, although once in awhile it is the subject of a daily paragraph. For the vikings are not dead. From Portland to New Orleans, our harbors are full of them. They lounge upon our wharfs, and we do not recognize them. They loiter on our streets, and we know them not. But if there is a more mod est, unconscious, or braver fellow than Jack the Fisherman, our eyes have yet to rest upon his face. He is the hardiest and most daring, the best sailor in the world today. Any continental kingdom would give its wealth to possess him for its defense. He is the envy of every maritime nation. Has he no value for us, beyond the halibut and the cod, the haddock and the cask?—Herbert D. Ward in Century. The Debut of the Bowie Knife. To the public mind duels were really a necessity. The man who would not fight "at the drop of a hat and drop it himself, ” was soon made to feel that he had very much better not have been born. There were progressive duels, too, from which the popular mind no more revolted than it does in this era from progressive whist or euchre. It was one of them which gave Bowie and his knife to fame. In some way there had come to be bad blood, black and bitter, between him and a certain Colonel Norris Wright After long bickering, it was agreed to meet upon the levee opposite Natchez, Miss., each with half a dozen friends, duly armed, and there shoot the matter out There were a doz en on each side when it came to fight ing. The battle was arranged to begin with threes, the rest standing by, and coming in only when those of the first fight were dead or disabled. But they had miscalculated their own self con trol. After the first fire there was a general melee—the reserves to a man gripped pistols hard, drew knife belts to a handy Clutch and went into the combat to do or die.—Martha McCul loch-Williams in Harper’s Magazine. The Climate of the Philippines. In regard to the climate which a for eigner encounters it is easy to exagger ate its discomforta Although it is tropical, still even in summer the cli mate may be called healthy. From De cember to March there are warm days, with cool nights and little rain. Dur ing March, April and May the days are hot, dry and dusty, while the thermom eter rises to 96 degrees at noon, but the nights are not uncomfortable. In the latter part of May and of June there are thunderstorms every afternoon with a tremendous downpour of rain. The greatest heat occurs in these months, the thermometer rising frequently tp -105 degrees in the shade. July, August and September are the months of the great typhoons, and while Manila es capes tiie greatest fury of these still enough of their force remains to demol ish many houses. During October and November storms lessen in frequency and severity, and the weather gradual ly settles into the fine days of Decem ber.—lsaac M. Elliott in Scribner’a Hl* Only Opportunity. "Hattie, ” said the clerk at the blan ket counter in the department store, speaking rapidly and in an undertone, "just a moment. Will you—what is it, sir? Harness department? Six aisles down—Hattie, do you think you could —furniture, madam? Third floor. Take the elevatorr—Hattie, I’d like to know handkerchiefs, ma’am? Third counter to your right Blankets, sir? Right here. Wait on you in a moment —Hat- tie, will you marry me?” "Yes, Tern,” whispered the girl at the notion counter, still tapping with her pencil on the showcase. "Ca-a-a-a a-ashl” —Chicago Tribune. Ike*.

Hi* Distinction. The following is said to have occurred to ja distinguished but modest divine who had undertaken the duty of a brother clergyman at a cathedral church. "I am come, ” said he, addressing the silk gowned verger, "to take Canon Blank’s place this morning. ” "Pray, sir,"replied the official pom pously, "are you the‘man’who is to read the prayers or the ’gentleman’ who is to deliver the sermon?” —Household Words. - ' The Brooklyn Bridge.

A FRENCH HARNESS. Information For a Judge XVhe Wm 1* Search of M toy Patent Care. When a judge has once had to deal with a case Involving potent rights, he la apt to retain forever thereafter a Ann disinclina tion to hear any more of the sort. It hap pened that sever nitentcase* were on the .docket of a N.-a .ferxey court, and the judge managed to defer each one as it esnui up and slide It down the list When the end of the term was well within roach, the patent practitioners began to demur a little at this procrastination, and finally the loader of their bar was deputed to ask the judge to set some of these cases for bearing. He oftrried with him a list of the cases, with a sido memorandum to in dicate what class of machinery waa in volved. The judge looked down the list, not at all anxious to hear ary patent case, but recognized that l:o would have to do so in the end, and therefore prepared to yield M graciously as possible. He noted that this case involved un ore separator, that the next had to do with some electric ap paratus, that almost all of them promised to involve him in the deepest physics and the most complicated mechanics. At last his eye rested on case 5287, against which was made the memorandum •‘French har ness. ” “There, I’ll take up that cose,” he said. “There isn’t much time left in this term, but you cannot spin that thing out very long. I was brought up with horses, and I have had them all my life. I know all about a harness to begin with, and It won’t be any trouble to pick up the French twist to it. We’ll get that case out of the way in short order.” The trial opened at the time appointed. The opposing briefs were volumes crowd ed with working drawings of the most complicated sort, the letterpress was filled with equations and mathematics in gener al, all necessary to elucidate some of the most intricate processes in the arte. In addition the courtroom was filled with Working models until it took on the ap pearance of a factory or an industrial ex hibition, and this was but the beginning. The counsel cited a host of decisions in conflict upon every essential point. At last the cose was submitted. After the re cess some one congratulated the judge on having but one case unfinished. “Don’t speak to me,” ho groaned. “I told those patent lawyers that I knew all about harness and selected that caso be cause it was easy. It knocked blazes out of my vacation. It took up two months before I could make head or tali of it, and then I was six weeks writing the deci sion.” A French harness is an appliance In connection with the weaving of figured cloths, the intricate ingenuity of which has inode it possible to employ the loom in the reproduction of any design. In com parison with it ordinary machinery is as simple as. a grindstone.—New York Sun. What Shall Be Done With Clausen? The case of Cockswain Clausen of the Tfruiser New York, and later and illegiti mately of the stopper Merrimac, will re quire the attention of Captain Chadwick and of Admiral Sampson as soon as the young man gets out of the hands of the Spaniards, by exchange of prisoners or otherwise and returns to hl* duty. The cockswain has committed an offense which has some parallels in naval history, but which never loses its interest, however often repeated. It would have rejoiced Marryat's heart to tell about Clausen’s sin. In leaving his own post without or ders and stowing himself away upon the Merrimac, so that ho might share the glory of an expedition which seemed to mean almost certain death to all concerned, Clausen not only violated discipline in an unpardonable way, but he was also guilty .of gross unfairness to the 4,000 men or thereabouts in the fleet who had volun teered for the same perilous service, and were just as crazy as he was to go along with Hobson. This latter aspect of the case is that which will principally strike the blue jackets and others who volunteered to sac rifice their lives with Hobson for the sake of their flag and were not accepted. Clau sen stole a march on them. They and he had the same courage to go, but they had what he lacked—-namely, the courage to obey orders and stay behind. He is a brave man, but so are they brave men and he roes, and they are all better sailors than Clausen in one all Important particular. Nevertheless, whatever martial law may say on the subject, it is written that no man’s life shall be put in jeopardy twice for the same offense, and the insubordi nate cockswain’s life has certainly been in jeopardy once already for his offense.— Now York Sun. Enoch Arden With Variation*. Tennyson has enshrined in verse the story of the sailor who returns home after years of absence to find his wife married. M. Zola has also written a short tale on the same sort of subject, and a real ver sion of the well worn theme comes from the prosaic district of La Chapelle in Paris. It appears that during the Franco-Ger man war M. Binot, a grocer of Vincennes, was supposed by his wife to have been killed in one of the battles around ths city. Previously hi* house had been shelled by the Prussians, and his wife went away from Vincennes with her child. When the war was over, Binot returned to his suburban town, and* seeing his old resi dence destroyed, arrived at the conclusion that his wife and child were killed and buried beneath the ruins. Drying his tears, he set to work again, made money and remarried. Meanwhile his wife heard of his return, but kept away from him and brought up her son Gustave, who is now a married man, under the impression that his father was killed in battle. Lately -the original Mme. Binot had • dispute with one of her friends, who hap pened to be in the possession of the secret The friend, in order to have revenge, told Mme. Binot’s son that his father was alive and living at La Chapelle. Thither Gus tave Binot repaired and found him dining with the other Mme. Binot in a restau rant.—Paris Letter. Horse** Expressive Heel*. “Talk about education, that horse *f Major Bartlett’s, of the First regiment, ha* got more sense and patriotism than a whole lot of people.” The speaker was Robert E. Loe, the now famous private, who, after being rejected a half dozen time*, finally got into the Second battalion and was assigned to duty as orderly to Major Bartlett “That horse, sir, ” con tinued the "General,” as he is known, “was being curried by a recruit. The man didn’t know his business, sir, and lie didn’t half do his work. Just as he baa combed out the horse's tall as a finishing touch and was getting away, the horse shot out his hind legs, snorting, as the re cruit went up into the air, ‘Remember the mane.’ "—St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
