Why They Woro Armor.
To such a pitch of exasperation did
the practice of using buftons in the
shirt drive the men of the middle ages
that they adopted the plan of wearing
brass or steel armor, fastened together
with metallic bolts. The popular idea
that men wore armor in order to fight
in it absurd, since no man
could possibly have fought when in
cased in half a hundredweight of metal.
Armor was worn solely in order to
avoid the worry of shirts with miming
buttons.
There were distinct advantages con
nected with the chain steel shirts.
When one of these garments came home
on Saturday night from ths washer
woman, the owner could feel reasona
bly certain that the metallic clasps at
the neck and in the bosom were all in
their proper places, for no washerwom
an could have succeeded in detaching
them without the use of a cold chisel.
If it did so happen that the washerwom
an’s husband had been run over by a
steam roller while wearing a steel shirt
belonging to one of his wife’s custom
ers, and erne of the metallic fastenings
had thereby been injured, the customer
in question could not accuse his wife
of negligence and demand to know why
she failed to keep his shirts in proper
repair.—London Answers.
• Batata's Magnificent Churches.
“The churches in St Petersburg are
so magnificent that they go to your
head,’’writes Lilian Bell in The La
dies’ Home Journal. “We did nothing
but go to mass on Christmas eve and
Christmas day, for although we spent
our Christmas in Berlin we arrived in
St. Petersburg in time for the Russian
Christmas, which comes 12 days later
than ours. St. Isaac’s, the Kazan and
Sts. Peter and Paul dazed me. The
icons or images of. the Virgin are set
with diamonds and emeralds worth a
king’s ransom. They are only under
glass, which is kept murky from the
kisses which the people press upon the
hands and feet The interiors of the
cathedrals, with their hundreds of sil
ver couronnes and battleflags and
trophies of conquests, look like great
bazaars. Every column is covered clear
to the dome. The tombs of the czar are
always surrounded by people, and can
dles burn the year round. Upon the
tomb of Alexander 11, under glass, is
the exquisite laurel wreath placed there
by President Faure. It is of gold and
wasmade by the most famous carver of
gold .in Europe.”
Lucid Explanation.
An Irishman walking over a plank
sidewalk, in counting some money ac
cidentally dropped a nickel, which roll
ed down a crack between two of the
boards. The Irishman was much put
out by his loss, trifling though it was,
and continued on his way, swearing
audibly.
Early the next day a friend, while
walking by the spot, discovered the
Irishman deliberately dropping a dollar
down the same crack through which he
had lost his nickel. The friend was of
course much astonished at what he saw,
and desiring to learn why Pat should
deliberately, to all appearances, throw
away money inquired his reasons and
was fairly taken off his feet by the fol
lowing explanation:
“It was this way,” said Pat “It’l
yesterday I was passin this way when 1
lost a nickel down that hole. Now, I
reasoned thot it wasn’t worth me while
to pull up thot sidewalk for a nickel,
but last night a scheme struck me, and
I am dropping down the dollar to make
it worth me while. ” —Chicago News.
At the Wrong Door.
“There be a stranger at the outer
gate, ’ ’ said the bellboy with a low bow,
“who knows not whence he comes.”
“ 'Tis passing strange,” quoth*St
Peter. “What sayeth he concerning his
home oq earth?”
“But little,” exclaimed the youth.
“He says that it be located on a river
.so thick with -mud it can be walked,
across In summer. He says that where
he lived, life is held at naught and that
money is the one god worshiped. That
the most successful pickpocket is the
best man, and that one day he may be
worth $2,000,000 and the next be com
pelled to borrow 10 cents for a plate of
baked beans. That it was a city of fat,
diamonds and soiled linen, and that”—
“Hold, sirrah I” exclaimed St Peter.
“’Tis enough. Register him from Chi
cago and send him down.” —Detroit
Free Press.
War aad Soldiers.
Old Thomas Fuller spoke thus of war
in his “Holy State:” “A soldier is one
of a lawful, necessary, commendable
and honorable profession; yea, God
himself may seem to be one free of the
company of soldiers, in that he styleth
himself *a man of war. ' Now, though
many hate soldiers as twigs of the rod
war, wherewith God scouxeth wanton
countries into repentance, yet is their
calling so needful that were not some
soldiers we must be all soldiers, daily
employed to defend our own, the world
would grow so licentious. ”
Color Eaat and West.
California is beautiful in color—red,
purple, yellow. No other state and few
countries can compare with it in thia.
When Californians oome east, however,
they are delighted with the scenery and
they explain that it is the greenness of
everything. Their colors are more gor
geous, but they are high and hot and
dry, the damp, dark tones of the east
are an sesthetio bath.—New York Com
mercial Advertiser.

Among all the pirates who have fig
ured in history, legend or song there is
one whoso name stands pre-eminent in
America as the typical herd of the
dreaded black flag. The name of this
man will instantly come to the mind of
almost every reader, for when we speak
of pirates we usually think of Captain
Kidd.
In fact, however, Captain Kidd was
not a typical pirate, for in many ways
he was different from the ordinary ma
rine freebooter, especially when we con
sider him in relation to our own coun
try. All other pirates who made them
selves notorious on our coast were
known as robbers, pillagers and ruth
less destroyers of life and property, but
Captain Kidd’s fame was of another
kind. We do not think of him as a
pirate who came to carry away the
property of American citizens, for near
ly all the stories about him relate to his
arrival at different points on our shores
for the sole purpose of hiding the rich
treasures which he had collected in oth
er parts of the world.
This could not fail to make Captain
Kidd a most interesting personage, and
the result has been that he has been
lifted into the region of legendary ro
mance. There are two Captain Kidds—
the Kidd of song and story, and the
other the Kidd of fact—Frank R.

Tenneuee Ataurance.
In March, 1796, the sheriffs of the
territory which is now Tennessee took
a census of their own, and as there were
60,000 citizens of proper age the terri
tory declared itself a state, proceeded to
choose a governor, a congressman and'
a legislature, which selected two United
States senators. Congress, then in ses
sion in Philadelphia, had received no
information regarding the action ip the
territory until congressman and sena
tors walked in uninvited and announced
that a Mate had been born, had elected
its officers, made its laws and was run
ning on scheduled time.
Congress was disconcerted and noti
fied the applicants that the sheriff’s
census was irregular and they must
wait at least for an invitation before
they proceeded to sit at the federal ta
ble. Upon second thought congress de
cided to be courteous, and on June 1
admitted Tennessee,nearly three months
after she had become a state by her own
action. This state, whose coming into
the Union was a little previous, was
the third state in the Union to provide
a president for the Union and the first
outside the original 13, and with one
exception the only state .south of the
Ohio and the James ever to furnish a
president, and she has provided three,
more than any other state except New
York, Virginia and Ohio. Boston

Smart Boy Thia.
“Father,” asked Tommy, the other
day, “why is it that the boy is said to
be the father of the man?” a
Mr. Tompkins had never given this
subject any thought,' and was hardly
prepared to answer offhand.
“Why—why,” he said stumblingly,
“it’s so because it is, I suppose.”
“Well, pop, since I’m your father,
I’m going to give you a ticket to the
circus and half a crown besides. I al
ways said that if I was -a father I
wouldn’t be so stingy as the rest of
them are. Go in, pop, and have a good
time while you’re young. I never had
any chance myself I”
Mr. Tompkins gazed in blank aston
ishment at Tommy. Slowly the signifi
cance of the hint dawned upon him.
Producing a half sovereign, he said:
“Take it, Thomas. When you really
do become a father, I hope it won’t be
your misfortune to have a son who is
smarter than yourself. ” London
Graphic.
Sun and Weather.
On the Ist of July the earth receives
6 per cent less heat from the sun than
it does during a corresponding period
in the month of January. But winter
does not occur then in the northern
hemisphere, because the sun runs high
in the sky and its rays fall upon the
earth more nearly vertically than six
months later, and, too, the day is much
longer than the night, so that while
the sun sends us a little less heat in to
tal amount we get a much larger pro
portion of what it does give us than we
do in January, when the total heat for
the whole earth is greater.—New York

PHOTOGRAPHIC mysteries*
& '
#»■_ V « W A, --- - -A
Show After * Flat. I* Dew.loped.
It is no unccmmcn experience to find
upon new plates certain images for
which there seems do possible explana
tion, their startling and unaccountable
appearance being “wxopt in mistry,”
causing astonishffient not unmixed with
uncanny feeling. A gentleman made
an exposure upon the interior of a
friend’s house. He was doubtful of the
time and proceeded to develop for un
der exposure. To his great surprise the
plate developed quickly, and to' bis
greater surprise the image was an in
terior quite different' from that upon
which he had exposed. The plate was
from a fresh box and could Dot possibly
have had a previous <ffposure.
Another instance of the kind, having
quite a sensational and tragic ending,
is on record. An exposure was made
upon a view having a river in the fore
ground. Tho photographer, while de
veloping this peculiar plate, was per
fectly astounded by an appearance
which he had not seen while taking the
photograph, and for which he could in
no way account. On completing the
development there was plainly reveal
ed in the foreground of the picture the
figure of a woman, apparently floating
upright in tho water. Not many weeks
after, to complete the mystery, the body
of a woman was found in the river at
the exact spot where the photograph
had been taken.
Again, not long since, the daily pa
pers were agitated over the account of
a traveling photographer who, upon
making an exposure upon the exterior
of a reputed haunted honse, discovered
at one of the windows a portrait of the
murdered man through whom the
house had gained its evil name. In an
other case three distinct images, having
no connection one with the other, were
impressed upon a single film. The plate
was exposed upon a garden in the even
ing—nothing remarkable being sebn—
but when placed in the developer a
man’s hat of old fashioned shape, a
child’s dress and a dog were distrib
uted over the imago of the garden.
Such mysterious images were more
common in the days of wet plates than
now. A few years back Professor Bur
ton investigated the matter. Upon trac
ing back the history of the glass he
found that it had been used for other
films, and that the images which ap
peared undoubtedly arose from the re
mains of previotis images. The old
glass was thus proved to be the source
of the ghosts; it only deepened the sci
entific mystery, while it cleared away
the supernatural. The glass traced by
Burton had been washed for some
weeks, immersed in strong nitric aeid;
and every means taken to insure chem
ical cleanliness, yet in spite of all this
enough energy, remained laterit to'form
a developable image upon the new film,
whether by chemical or physical force
remains to be discovered. A complete
solution of the difficulty would prob
ably throw considerable light upon the
nature of the photographic images in
general. At least, it seems to indicate
that light is not absolutely essential in
the formation of latent images in a
sensitive film.—American Journal of
Photography.
Curious Offerings by Venders.
A street vender said that anything
that might be offered could be sold in
the street. Some things sell better than
others, and for some the demand is
more continuous than for others, but
buyers can be found for anything if the
article is brought to their attention. A
knowledge of this fact prompts the
offering sometimes of curious things of
things that at first thought seem curi
ous, that one would not expect to see
offered in this way. But the fact will
be recalled, if one dwells for a moment
upon this subject, that there are always
people to be seen standing around look
ing at these novel offerings. Their nov
elty attracts some attention, and then
there are more or less people who want
the things.
- Here was a man, for instance, selling
files, nothing whatever but files, of
which he had a push eart full. There
were files of various sizes and of all
kinds—flat files, half round, square,
three cornered and rattail—all at ths
uniform price of 5 cents each or six for a
quarter. And there was a fair trade do
ing in these files. The many people who
pass in the course of the day along a
busy street have manifold wants. Some
among them want files.
Files cannot be sold steadily by
street venders, as many other things
are—there is a limit to the quantity
that this market will absorb—but there
is some sale for flies in the street, al
there is for pretty much everything that
is offered.—New York Sun.
Night aad Day.
“Anyway,” she retorted warmly,
“you don’t find women’s clubs turning
night into day with their orgies. ”
“No,” he mused, “women wouldn’t
turn night into day. They have too
much regard for their complexions.”
For it is a fact well known to science
that artificial light will shine over tol
erably fair women where daylight
wouldn’t do a thing to them.—Detroit
Journal.
Pan and Typewriter.
An experimental race was recelftly
made in a French office between a skill
ful typewriter and an expert penman,
the test being the number of times a
phrase of eight words could be repro
duced in five minutes. The typewriter
scored 87 and the penman 28.
Ham N’Ghi, ex-king of Anam, whom
the French are keeping as a prisoner of
state at Algiers, occupies his leisure
with painting and intends to send some
ot his pictures before long to the salon.
He is also a musician and regrets that
ho is unable to appreciate Wagner.
