Caterpillar Balad.
A veteran who had been through
half a dozen campaigns and was very
particular about wbat he ate wan in
vited out to a grand dinner jiarty. Ho
sat almost directly opposite the hostess
and was painfully conscious that every
move he made could he observed by
her. Suddenly, at the height of the
festivities, the veteran came across a
caterpillar in Ids salad. A furtive glance
at the hostess disclosed the fact that
she, too, had discovered tlie embarrass
ing circumstance. It was a critical
moment, but tho old soldier was equal
to tho occasion.
Without changing a muscle ho gath
ered up the caterpillar with a forkful of
salad and swallowed both. The look
of gratitude wliicli he received from the
hostess u few minutes later warmed his
heart. In due time the story leaked
out, and when somebody asked the old
campaigner how he liked caterpillar
salad the reply came like a red hot shot i
“Do you take mo for a man who would
spoil a dinner party for a little thing
like a caterpillar?”—Chicago Herald.
Floating Disinfectant.
A floating disinfectant which has
come Into uso appears to possess the
three very essential advantages of effl
eiency, simplicity of application and
uniform solution. A mixture of car
bolic acid and other disinfectants In a
solid form is so prepared that it will
float in water. This melts slowly In
the water, and Is always visible and
accessible. The uniform rate of solu
tion adapts it specially for use in
closets. All that is necessary is to
place a block of it in the water cistern
supplying the closets. All danger of
blocking up the pipes is avoided, as the
disinfectant is always on tho top of the
water.—New York Commercial Adver

The Navy of Turkey.
Turkey has apparently become rec
onciled to her fate. She no longer
makes any effort to match her great

ambitious Greece hungers for a slice of
the “Sick Man’s” territory and Is
strengthening her fleet for the struggle.
The old armorclads with wliich Turkey
made such a brave stand against Rus
sia are now rapidly becoming obsolete,
and there is no infusion of new mate

Choir* Slion Id He Heard, Not Keen.
It has become quite customary for
our churches to put a gallery for tho
choir either behind the minister or be
side the minister. The people want to
see tho singers; they want to face the
music. I do not like the custom.
These last months I have been sitting
In the pews and have faced tho music.
1 have thus added evidence, drawn from
observation, to iriy theories that music
should bo heard and not seen; it
should appeal to tho ear and not to the
eye.
Tho sense of worship in song through
the ugency of the ear is marred by the
distractions which tho eye brings. The
organist, jumping about on his seat,
pawing the pedals, pulling tho stops,
the size of the soprano’s mouth, eccen
tricities of dress and deportment, nil
these tho eye brings to tho heart and
mind, and thus serves to mar the sense
of worship. No, no; let us hide our
musicians in order tho better to hear
their music.—Cliicago Advance.
A MountalnooH Story.
Speaking of Pike’s Peak, a young
lady visiting In Lowell, Mass., tells a
good story of ono of those rare coinci
dences that first surprise and then al
most inevitably amuse. Her sister,
who went to Colorado for the benefit
of her health, was sojourning at Mani
tou, and there ono day fell into con
versation with a gentleman on the
piazza of the hotel. They had not met
before. They were admiring together
the snowclad pyramid of Pike's Peak,
towering in majesty before them. They
agreed that never before had a more
beautiful and inspiring sight met their
eyes. “I suppose,” at length remarked
the gentleman, smiling, “that the
mountain has a peculiar interest to me
from the fact that my name is Pike.”
“Naturally it would,” returned the
lady, “and 1 may say that my own en
thusiasm is greatly due to tho fact that
niy name is Peak."—Lowell Citizen.

A Most Obliging Neighbor.
There is a clerk in one of the depart
ments named—well, call him Smithe,
but that’s not bis name--who is noto
riously close fisted, and was never
known to pay a debt unless actually
forced to do so. Seeing a neighbor the
other morning going downtown, Smithe
hailed him:
“Say, George, as you'll be on the
avenue today, would you mind look
ing in at tlie express offleo and see if
there is a small package there for met”
“Not at all. I’ll be glad to oblige
you.”
So George called and found a small
box for Smithe, on which there was
due twenty-five cents. It struck him
at once that liis economical neighbor
would probably be short a quarter when
he handed him the package, and he
might then perform the feat known as
whistling for it, so he left the box and
went home. Passing Smithe’s house,
that worthy was waiting for him.
“Well, George, did you find anything
at the express office?”
“Oh, yes,” said George. “There was
a package for you marked C. O. D.,
twenty-five cents, so I gave them your
address and it’ll be along directly

Dinner Parties In Parisian Home*.
Dining at a Parisian table strikes the
observer, or rather the diner, as a very
different affair to a similar event at an
Knglish board. It is quite an error to
suppose that Frenchmen invariably
dine at cafes, as some of the inex
pterenced undoubtedly do Imagine.
Dinner parties at home are quite as fre
quent an event In Parisian circles ns
elsewhere. Society In general may not
be as gay there as it was once upon a
time, but If there is less dancing them
is moro eating and drinking than ever.
Kven at dances the feasting plays a
more important part than formerly. A
hostess can no longer bid her guest to
partake of a cup of tea and a brioeho.
The sandwich and tho verre do Bor
deaux of old are not now deemed
sufficient to sustain tho strength of
daiicer* through a long evening. It is
now a recognized tiling in Paris that if
you invite people to your house you
must entertain them hospitably, and a
dance now entails a supper with cham
pagne, rich viands, fine fruits and deli
cate confectionery.—Paris Letter.

WHAT STOCKINET CLOTH 13.
It I. Knlttei, itn.l tin* IThol* Itmttvf*
t'nntv< )m by Pulling Onr Thrfud.
Strictly speaking, stockinet is not
a cloth, for it is not a woven fabric,
but a knitted texture. By a process of
knitting, and not by weaving, the in
dividual threads of which a stockinet
fabric is composed are interlaced into
ono regular texture. The work is per
formed in a kind of a frame or loom, in
which the yams are arranged in par
allel order, at uniform distances apart,
as in ordinary weaving.
Of course the macliine is automatic
In its movements and capable of pro
ducing n great length of cloth In a very
short time. The fabric thus formed is
ornamented with a fine ribbed pattern,
similar in diameter to that seen in
common knit ctCuls This article gen
erally liandlcs soft, full and clustic, but
lacks tho:*; valuable characteristics of
strength and firmness of texture or
make which obtain in a woven cloth
proper.
The difference between the structure
of this fabric and tliat resulting from
weaving warp and weft yarns together
may be illustrated as follows: Take a
sample of «tocfej r! ,.t cloth and try to
withdraw a threat! and what is the re
sult? The whole construction Is un
raveled. Next submit a loom product
to a similar examination and it will be
found that if a longitudinal or warp
thread is removed tho transverse or
weft threads will remain, while on the
other hand, if the latter are withdrawn,
tho warp threads will, although the
texture may he partly destroyed, still
remain to a certain extent undis
turbed.
Again, the manner in which a knitted
fabric is constructed limits the designer
to one class of weave effects, these be
Ing of u stockinet character, whereas
the principles of weaving are of such a
description as to admit of unlimited
change or variation in design.—Dry
Goods Chronicle.
The Literary Market.
There is no doubt about it that
there is a crying demand today in the
offices of book houses and magazines
for good literary work. Tho authors
who can l>o counted ugion to do really
good work am kept busy -so busy, in
fact,, tliat 1 know several who cannot
fill their ordersand are refusing all new
overtures. And these an; not writers
of fame cither. They an; men and
women who have an accurate idea of
what tho good part of tho reading pub
lic wants and have tho brains to sup
ply it. For such literary workers there
is an abundance of room.
It is not a question of reputation; it
Ls entirely one of correctly filling a
want. Anil that young author of to
day is wisest who first ascertains what
is needed and then tries to supply it,
instead of the reverse, as thousands are
doing today and missing fire. The liest
literary training for the modern young
writer Ls that which teaches him the
demand rather than the supply. That
Ls one class for which literary success is
almost ccrt;iin. —Edward W. Bok’s Let

The anxiety of the public to travel

not content with thirty and forty miles

make fifty and sixty. The schedule
time is accordingly shortened and the
engineer ordered to run on time or
seek ouiployment elsewhere. The brave
engineer lets her go accordingly, and if
die train remains on the track and
there is no obstruction all goes -well.
Otherwise the dead are hastily buried,
the wounded bustled off to the hos

quick and get tliat debris out of the

devised to run trains seventy miles an
