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. It is calculated that if the .children under the care of the London.school board were to join hands theyj would reach from London to Carlisle, a dis tance of 800 miles.

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. Stockton in St Nicholas. 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 Transcript. 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 Trues. Fun From the Fr«nch. A boulevardier is at once surprised and enchanted to meet an old time com panion whose suicide had been reported. “It’s true,” said the latter. “I did want to kill myself, simply from dis taste of life. And then came along the doctors and discovered that I had a grave disorder. Since then, you under stand, I take care of myself I”—Figaro. Surely He Wouldn’t. "If I were only a man,” she said, “we eould” — “Possibly we could,” he said, "but the chances are we wouldn’t If you were a num, I wouldn't be here. I’d be saying nice things to somebody who wasn’t a man. ” Sometimes it is worth while ,to think of such facts as these. —Chicago Post ■r- The Toncue. The tongue is divided into three re gions of tasted each of which has its own special function. The tip of the tongue is chiefly sensible to pungent and add tastes, the middle portion to sweets or bitten, while the back is con fined entirely to the flavors of roast meats, butter, oils and rich and fatty substances. - Bsrcaln In Beal Batata. Agent—l think I can sell this place for you, but I can’t get the $5,000 yo« ask. You’ll have to take $4,998. Owner—That's queer. Why should the extra $2 stand in the way?

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. When Heine was in love, be was sc jealous that he poisoned a parrot bo longing to his mistress for fear it would claim too much of her affeotiaa. ita* w»m» I i IUSB ■■ H B Ea ■ ■ ■ BB - 111 Sbb f1 % ■ BIWIiI 111 _ ■ ■ iLn rw ■ ns| sb b iM VHV ■ WbIbIImI 4? . - i.r . uj-r--;.!
