lA TlM U> Explain How li Worked,
,—- ' bit Foiled Ignomlnlonaly.
Be wg* a prominent lawyer of Topeka.
♦ Brief* with him were a* thick as the
annflowers that fringe the low bottoms
of the silent Kaw in August.
Always dressed in the most spotless of
fashionably ent garments, he was the
envy of straggling barristers and the
' cynosure of the ladies who promenaded
the aristocratic avenues of Kansas’ fair
capital.
It was a terribly melting day in the
scorching month of June, when, with a
cool array of immaculate linen and sug
gestively airy, snow white duck, he en
tered the state library, where the ever
faithful custodian of the precious vol
umes of legal lore was pouring over his
desk busily engaged in answering a mass
of correspondence ever accumulating:
the burden of his daily life of routine.
“Why don't yon bny a fountain pen?'
he asked! in an enthusiastic tone, as he
pulled one of these little instruments out
of his vest pocket. “You can't imagine
w hat a vast amount of time one can save.
I purchased one this morning, and if 1
could not procure another 1 would not
take $1,000 for it
“Why, don’t yon know that a man's
arm travels, in dipping his pen in the ink
alone, more than half a dozen miles in
an ordinary day of bard writing? Just
think what a wasto of muscular energy!
Let me show you how easily the thing
works."
As he spoke ho attempted to unscrew
the little cap, upon which a jet of the
deceitful fluid, as fins as the spray from
a lady’s robber bulbed perfume bottle,
spurted oat and struck him fairly be
tween the eyes and slowly trickled down
his face.
W, “I guess that I have unscrewed the
wrong end. Wait until I try the other."
Then, without replacing the cap he had
withdrawn, he slowly took off the other,
which, permitting more air in, out the
treacherous ink flew in a stream as thick
as a lead pencil, completely covering his
face, vest and permeating his hair, fall
ing down on his trousers, until his whole
suit resembled the map of a swamp.
With evident disgust depicted on every
lineament, be slowly ejaculated: “Per
haps if 1 had been educated in a poly
technic school 1 would understand the
mechanism of the darned thing oetter.
Have yon a lavatory here that I may try
and repair damages?" Whereupon he
went out, a discomfited man!—Kansas
City Star.
LIFE'S ONWARD CURRENT.
Forever onward Is tbe march-.
From beastly hoof to haad-
From savsc* to tbe oner Mod sap? -
From saurian types to tffiui:
From man to angel—llm'M*** *
As are the starry spheres—
Procreation hath not halt nor l>3uatf
In God's eternal years!
From darkest cloud the lightato*; dash.
From nothing—life Divine
From gloom to glory is the Ian.
The unvarying design.
A world of good invites our eyes,
And charms the willing mind-
But ho who only misery finds
Blasphemes the life Divine
No treacherous gift was life to man.
With deadly hate concealed.
For Love Divine the method planned.
And all trill be revealed
When o'er the clouds that hover hero
Tho risen soul surveys
The mansions of the eternal spheres.
The land of endless days
—Tho Arena.
For Rent:
Two Excellent
Exposure of One's Weaknesses.
IA special weakness of a man is ex
posed by his indiscriminately accusing
others of tho same defect. When a per
eon, in criticising the character or dis
position of others, applies with a certain
blind persistency one or two common
faults to them all, now i>ereliance hitting
the mark and now flying far wide of it,
we maybe sore that these very faolts
are possessed by the critic in a marked
degree, thongh they aro often in a meas
ure concealed by the complications of
his own chancier.
They seem to stand before his mind's
eye as glasses of various colors, giving
corresponding hues to whatever is
viewed through them, os ho who looks
at the sky through a colored window
will seo it red, yellow, green or other
wise, as the ca*o may be. One who de
sires to rid himself of faults will do well
to scrutinize himself in this respect, and
if ha finds • tendency to harp on tome
particular weakness of human nature he
may feel assured that there he can apply
the pruning knife.—New York Ledger.
Itumbaj Oyxtera.
Tho very newest thing about town Is
the “Bombay oyster."
Tho “Bombay oyster” isn’t an oyster
at all, of course, bat this is the name
that has been bestowed on it
It is a composition sufficiently simple
and common to please the lean and lard
ed purso alike. It is nothing more than
an egg dropped unbroken into a tumbler,
and (lclngad.wiUi vinegar, and sprinkled
with pepper ana salt
It is consumed always before break
fast, and by a great many sporting men
in tho dty.
One of its effects is to counteract the
evil temlencMt of over eating. Some
stout men like a "Bombay oyster” in
the morning, and eat nothing again until
[boon. For a bilions stomach it is the
finest kind of a remedy.—Boston Globe.
Protector Against Nicotine.
An electrical engineer of Gurpbin
Springs claims tho invention of a mouth
piece for pipes that will prevent any
connection of the -nicotine deposited in
smoking with tho tongue. He makes “a
hollow ball, with a short tabular or
slotted stem attached to it. which is in
Krtecl into tho usnal orifice is ‘she mouth
■^S of the pipe, or cigar or cigarette
bolder, so that the smoko shall joss out
through the tube or slotted stem and
' upper slotted part of the ball, and the
tongue shall rub against the ball in the
month of tho orifice, and thus avoid or
prevent the saliva of the mouth from go
ing or working back in the mouthpiece."
^ —New York Telegram.
Tho Height of Our Anrtoon.
Catching Train, tu Chirac.,.
Chicago's hardest worked people are
the ones living in the subtirlw. Life to
them means just one thing, nnd that is
“to eatch a train." A man’s business, a
woman's shopping, patience, pleasure,
pride is built up around that one idea,
nnd everything is sacrificed to it. Rush
ing down Lake street Saturday night
was a short, fleshy man nnd a big round
watermelon. The watermelon was car
ried by a manufactured rope harness,
and the seals was about evenly bal
anced. Sometimes the man was a little
the heaviest, and then again the water
melon would swing the man off the
ground, but both were in perfect har
mony as to the one idea.
While the swinging motion accelerated
speed it was a decidedly dangerous
thoroughfare for people not governed by
this axle in the wheel of life. As the
watermelon and the man reached one of
those magnificent stone portals that is
an index to the grandonr of the depot at
the foot of Lake street the train
whistled. The entrance was narrow.
There was not room for the watermelon,
the man and theidea. The balance hap
pened to bo on the side of tho man, he
being held down by the idea.
The watermolon in the nir swung
against the carved stone. Man, balance
and idea hit the other sid-. The water
melon got the worst of it. It was a rock
that most anything would split upon.
Harmouy nnd the combination was :
broken. With a gasp and a look the
man threw the rope harness in with the
rich red lusciousness of the wrecked I
watermelon, gathered up his balance j
and idea and rushed on. The water-!
melon wa3 sacrificed, bnt he caught his
train.—Chicago Herald.

Extraordinary Deaths.
Lely died of jealousy at the success of
Sir Godfrey Kneller.
Elphinstone .died of a broken heart
over the result of the battle of Floddcn.
The Emperor Frederick HI and hia
eon, Maximilian 1, both died from eat
ing too heartily of melons.
Nalentia, the 8panish theologian, died
because he was accused by the pope of
having falsified a passage in St Augus
tine.
Cheke, the great English scholar, died
of grief at having been perverted from
his religions belief:
It is laid that after Malherbe, the
great French writer, had been dead over
an honk that he raised the drapery and
reproved one of the watchers for nsing a
word that waa hardly pure French!
Alonzo Cano, the French painter and
sculptor of tbe Seventeenth century, is
said to have had such a fine sense of pre
cision and symmetry that he refused to
kiss a poorly executed crucifix, even
thongh on his deathbed.
Angeled, a Milanese actor, waa to
overcome by the enthusiastic reception
accorded him on hi. first appearance in
Naples that he literally died of joy be
fore the conclusion of the evening’s en
tertainment—SL Louis Republic.
Break roll on liar. Mahogany.
This of all seasons is tho one when a
bare polished mahogany table makes a
breakfast of melons, fish, rice cakes and
coffee a feast for the eyes as well as the
palate. Yon may not have a veritable
from San Domingo, but if yon cure to
give a cabinet finisher $3 he will hand
polish a cherry or oak, and in a fresh
white dress yon can make yonr husband
and little folks believe yon are a break
fast beanty.
To be most effective neither scarfs nor
mats most be used. Have some pretty
tile for the coffee pot rest and instruct
the girl to keep tbe hot plate* on the
sideboard. Tbe fish and cakes will be
passed around, and the basket of rolls,
the platter of melon and the bowl of
china aster or dahlias will he furniture
enough for tho center.—Kansas City
Times.

H Although it Is needles to tell readers
SjHufeat all .peculations upon this matter
without foundation, it is curious to
jjfejjfcB in a work published in 1718 by al
member of the French Academy of Sci
fiieva the following statements. Ac
cording to this author, Adam was 133
feet 0 inches in height, while Eve’s stat
ure is asserted to have been 118 feet 0
inches and 9 linen. Noah, we are told,
attained a height of only 27 feet: Abra
ham waa barely 20 feet in stature, while
Moses is alleged to have me.tr,ired oply
13 feet to height—J. N. Hallock in

A man with a box on lusshonhlcr was
making bis way along ChamU.rx street
the other day when it fell to the walk.
After two or three efforts to replace it
he appealed to a man in a doorway with:
"Give me a lift, please?"
“Can’t do it," was the prompt reply
“And why not?”
“Because I never mix bounces. 1 am
a plumber and the man next door is in
the elevator business. It’s for him to
give you a lift"
The man with the box thought for a
moment, grained :n a good nature.I wry,
and by an extra grant rwhouldereJ tbe
box and passed on.—New York Sun
