Tricky? Yes, that’s just what you would call it I used to watch him sometimes when he was waiting on customers, and it was positively amusing to see the ap parent ease with which he would make a two pound steak weigh, apparently three or more pounds. “He would take a couple of pounds of meat and throw it on the scales so that the pointer would show four pounds and then taka it off before the scales could register the true weight ‘There’s just four pounds exactly, ’ he would say to the customer in that squeaky voice of his, and then continue with the state ment quickly made:‘Four times 12 is 58. Call it 60, ’ and unless the customer was watching him closely he would al ways get even change. “He was in the meat business only a few years and amassed a competency. Then he left it. What worries meis how he is going to get along nq.w. I un derstand he is in the real estate business, and I wonder how he works it when he sells a piece of land. The scales won’t help him much there. ’’ —Philadelphia Record. . The Only Time There The necessity that there shall be only one man who “has the say” in a mili tary command is thoroughly recognized in the United States army. A story is told ’of General Shafter which illus trates the punctilio of the regulars in this regard. f ‘ - At a certain frontlet post at which Shafter, who then held an inferior rank, was commander many years ago, a dis cussion arose among several officers as to the exact time of day. A captain, With his watch in his hand, said: “It is now exactly 8 o’clock.” “Oh, no!” said a lieutenant. “By my time it’s eight minutes past 3." A third young officer drew his watch out of his pocket. “I know my time is exactly right, ” he said, “and my watch says two minutes past 3. ” At this juncture Major Shafter looked at his silver watch. “I don’t know what your watches say, ” he remarked, “but I wish you to understand that in this command it is five minutes past 8.” Then the young officers remembered that the authority of the commanding officer extended even to the time of day.—Youth’s Oompanion. A Useful Coffin. It may not be generally known that the Dutch Boers at the Cape> especially those living in remote districts where material is expensive and labor difficult to obtain, frequently purchase at least one coffin beforehand which is placed in a conspicuous position In the “voor kamer” or principal sitting room and utilized as an article of furniture, for ornament or as a receptacle for clothing and other oddments. One farmer well known to the writer possesses a beautifully finished article of this sort which he purchased about 30 years ago. During that period he has buried three wives each of whom had to be content with coffins of the com monest material and roughest work manship while his own awaiting its possessor stands in all its luster of pol ished teak and silver mountings. For the present the old gentleman uses it as a couch for his midday nap in order, as he sometimes remarks with grave humor, that he may get accustom ed to it.—-Cape Times. A Gentian Word Serpent. A Corman correspondent comes to the rescue of his countrymen, concerning whom we expressed surprise that they should prefer to use word of four syl lables when another word expressing the same thing in 40 syllables was available. He sends us a oopy of The Kolnische Volkszeitung, in which oc curs a sentence of 007 words, occupy ing 69 lines of the newspaper. This word serpent occurs in a legal judgment, and even the printers got to hate it after setting up about 450 words of it. So they put in a fujl stop, which, like a rifle bullet in the spine of a boa constrictor, killed the whole sentence. But it must really be nice to have news papers in which you can begin to read a sentence at breakfast, continue it in the train and triumphantly reach the verb at office.—London Globe. Experienoed. “Have yon made up your mind just what qualities you expect to find in a husband?” asked the matron. “Why, of course,” answered the maid. “Too bad,” commented the matron with a sigh. “Why do you say that?” demanded the maiden. “Oh, I always hate to see young girls disappointed,” answered the matron.— Chicago Post / jj. So Kindly Considerate. “Why is it,” the daring young man asked, “that your daughter still wears such short dresses?” “Oh, I keep her dressed that way," Mrs. Giddibus answered, with a beauti ful blush, “because if she had long skirts on people would think she was my sister when they saw us together. I have no wish to conceal the fact that I have a daughter who is as tall as I am.’’—Cleveland Leader. • Close Rance. Hattie—So you and Jack quarreled, did you? Ella—Yes.

Every now and then wo see in some newspaper the query, “ Where is Pat rick Henry buried?” and tourists Lu Richmond constantly ask to be shown his grave, with the mistaken idea that it is in that city, where much sf his public career was passed. Few people comparatively know that the man who acquired the title of “The Tongue of the Revolution” lies in a quiet grave on the estate in Charlotte county where he formerly lived. Over it is a marble slab inscribed with one line, “His fame his best epitaph. ” The estate lies on Staunton river, 38 miles from the town of Lynchburg, near the border line which separates Char lotte and Campbell counties. It derived its name of Red Hill from the peculiar color of the soil in that vicinity. When Patrick Henry bought the place, it com prised about 8,500 acres. The land is rich—there was a saying in the neigh borhood that poor land and Henry could never be mentioned together—earn grows there as high as a man on horse back; there is a general air of smiling fields and abundant prosperity. Its sit uation in early times was very remote. Neighbors were few, one of the nearest being the celebrated John Randolph of Roanoke, who lived in his chosen soli 4nde 15 miles away. Red Hill is now owned by Henry’s grandson, William Wirt Henry, a clever, cultivated gentleman of the “old school ” He has in his possession some most interesting relics of his cele brated grandfather, including (jhe desk he always used, which still contains his letters from Lafayette, Washington, Madison and other great then of early days; the large, round backed chair in which Patrick Henry died and a portrait of him by the elder Sully, under which hangs a yellowed slip of paper, signed by Chief Justice John Marshall and several others ot his friends, testifying to the faithfulness of the likeness. — Philadelphia Press. READING SEALED LETTERS. A German Scientist Shows How This Maj Be Aecompliahed. It is not generally known that sealed letters may in many cases be read with out opening the envelopes or doing them the least injury. It was discovered Sy a German physiologist by the use of an embryoscope, or egg glass, that the shells of eggs were of very unequal thickness. It occurred to him to make experi ments in order to ascertain how many leaves of ordinary letter or official pa per must be laid above and below a written leaf in order to make it illegible to a highly sensitive eye in the direct sunlight. He found that after he had rested his eye in a dark room for 10 or 15 minutes he cold read a piece of writ ing over the mirror of the embryoscope that had been covered with eight layers of paper. He called in other observers to con* firm thia The letters, however, that could thus be deciphered were written in dark ink on one side of the paper only. If fouy written sides were folded together, and especially if there had been crossing, it was hard to make out the drift of the writing, and there are some kinds of writing which, "when folded twice or thrice, admit too little light for the purpose of decipherment In this way possibly many of the per formances of “clairvoyants” may be ex plained. By means of the egg glass it Is, as a rule, easier to make out the con tents of letter or telegram without the slightest tampering with the envelope than it is to detect the movements of the embryo in the egg. Suppose the writer of a billet, the contents of which are known only to himself, lets it out of his hand and loses sight of it for five minutes. It may be readily carried either into the direct sunlight or into electric or magnesium light and be read by the aid of the egg glasa The placing of a piece of car tridge paper in the envelope or the col oring of it black is a means of defense at hand. A Bunnew School. The uproar was like that of a run away engine tearing through a tunnel The floor was littered with youngsters lying on their stomachs, and all bawl ing with an energy indicative that somebody was hurting them. Long, slim, scratched upon slips of palm leaf, the equivalent of books in Burma, were spread before the scholars. Making the lads shout is the approved method of elementary instruction. When the master discovers any lagging in lung exercise, a long switch begins to sing through the air. Quiet, serious study is exploded. The Burmese educationists argue that so long as a boy is shouting his mind is occupied. When he is silent, he is certain to be scheming mischief. Therefor the best shooters are the best pupils.—UraveL' Cruel Spaniards. Spanish officers as well as men gener ally incline to cruelty and treachery. Here is a story in point, told by an ex cellent authority: ► “In Alcala, the Guardia Civil —that is, one of the crack troops—was after a robber band. One of the robbers was caught Being prtfinised a full pardon, he gave away his comrades. This man had no sooner signed the paper that served as his death warrant for his late friends when the officer in charge said, ‘We will begin with him. ’ The robber was immediately shot in the back of his head.’’ In 1870 Japan was visited by a terri ble epidemic of smallpox, which almost decimated Yokohama. Vaccination was made compulsory in 1896. The Japanese are said to have been struck with the fact that pockmarked foreigners were rarely seen in Japan.

"What number is it?” “Wmr’nine, of course,” replied oome one else. “There are nine muses, you know, and you talk of a nine days' wonder. Then you bowl at nine pins and a cat has nine lives.” “Nonsense,” broke in another. “Seven is the magic number; seventh heaven, don’t you know, and all that; seven colors in the rainbow; seven jjays in the week; seventh sou of a seventh son—great fellow, and”— “Tush, tush,” remarked a third. “Five’s the number, you mean. A man has five fingers on his hand and five toes on his foot, and he has five senses, and”— “Three is undoubtedly the magic number,” interrupted another, “be cause people give throe cheers and Jonah was inside a whale three days and three nights, and if at first you don’t succeed, try, try again—three times, yon see!” This was received with some con tempt by the company, and a soulful youth gushed out: “Two, oh, two is the magic number. Oneself and one other—the adored one! Just us two!” A hard featured individual, who had been listening to the conversation hith erto unmoved, here remarked in a harsh voice: “The magic number Is Na 1 in this world, and if you want to succeed never forget it” . An interval of deep thought on the part of all followed, after which they went in silently to supper.—Brooklyn Citizen. Jean BJchepin’e Carear. The story of how he came to adopt a literary career is sufficiently picturesque. For some time he had picked up a pre carious livelihood by doing "odd jobs,” including such prosaic occupations as that of bootblack and casual porter on the Quai Marseilles. One day he was engaged by a gentleman to carry to the railway station a heavy trunk. Arrived at the station, there was an instant mutual recognition. They were old col lege chums. “What are you doing here?” asked his friend. “Carrying your trunk, I believe,” said. JeAn. “Why do you do this?” “Because I must. ” “Where do you live?” “Come and see,” replied Richepin. The future dramatist took his friend to his dwelling—a miserable room in an attic in the poorest quarter of the town. Upon the table lay scattered heaps of manuscripts—Jean's incursions in the realms of poetry when the more prosaic duties of the day were over. Looking through them, his friend was astounded at their quality. “Why do you carry trunksand blacken boots when yon can do work like this?” he asked. Richepin had never given the matter a thought; he had never deemed these products of idle hours worthy of publicatioriT-Pub lished they were, however, in a very few weeks and created an immense sensation. From that moment Jean Bichepin has never looked back.—West minster Gazette Ike Widow's Opinion. In one of the suburban towns near the capital lives a widow well endowed with worldly goods, whose husband, with a sort Qf posthumous jealousy, has guarded against her re-marriage by providing that she shall lose all her property if ever she takes another hus toend. She has been receiving attentions for several years from an elderly Grand Amy of the Republic veteran. She has been very good to him too. Once when he wanted to parade with bis comrades she bought him an expensive blue suit with brass buttons on it He wanted to marry her, but the will of the selfish dead man stood between. So after a time he married somebody else. The widow was brokenhearted. She recalled suit with the brass buttons. She recalled a hundred kindnesses shown the old soldier. She bewailed his perfi dy to her friends. •‘Why,” said one of them, “what did yon expect? He wanted a wife to make a home for him. You couldn’t marry him. So why do you complain?” The widow wiped her eyes. “I know I couldn’t marry him, ” she said. “I didn’t really want to marry him. anyway, but, you see, it was such a heap of comfort to have a steady beau. Washington Post PeculiartUea of th* Potato. The opinion has prevailed among housekeepers that it is the good potato which breaks open when it is boiled. A scientist who has made potatoes a study instate that the good potato is tiw one that remains quietly in its coating of brown during all of the processes ot cooking. Instead of the swelling and bursting of the skin being caused by the presence of starch it has been as certained that albumen is the substance that causes this breaking open. An or dinary potato is made up of three fourths of its weight in water, two tenths in starch and one-fiftieth of ni trogenous matter. If it cracks and falls to pieces during the process of boiling, it is deficient in albumen, and therefore lacking in the most important constit uent.—New York Ledger. A Damas Story.
