AN INTERRUPTED TALE.
How Some Wives Listen to Their
Husbands.
If there is one thing more than anothei
calculated to throw a man into a gnash
ing-of-the-tceth or tearing-of-the-haii
condition, it is to attempt to give the
wife of his bosom an account of some or
dinary affair, to which she listens after
this fashion:
He—Oh, my dear, I must tell you some
thing Jack Burroughs told me to-day
while
She—Where did you see Jack Bur
roughs?
lie—Oh, we went to luncheon to]
gether, and—
She—How did you happen to go out
to luncheon together?
He—Well, we didn’t exactly go out to
gether. I met Jack at the restaurant,
and
She—What restaurant?
He—Calloway’s, and Jack
She—How did you happen to go to
I Calloway’s? I thought you always
i lunched at Draper’s?
He—l nearly always do, but I just
j happened to drop into Calloway’s to-day
1 along with Jack, and
She—Does he always lunch at Callo
way’s?
1 le—l’m sure my dear (a little sharply),
, that I don’t know whether he does or
not. It makes no earthly difference ii
She—Oh, of course not. (Hastily.) I
just wondered if he did, that’s all. Go
on with vonr story.
_ Hr—Well, while we were eating our
soup, Jack—-
She—What kind of soup?
He—Oxtail. Jack said that
i She—l thought you disliked oxtail
j soup?
j lie— Well, I don’t care much about it,
j but
She—How did you happen to order it
if you don’t care for it?
lie—Because I did. (Severely). But
the soup has nothing to do with the story.
She—Oh, of course not. (In a grieved
tone.) I never said that it did. I don’t
see why you should get cross over a sim
ple question. Go on.
He—Well, while we were eating out
soup, Lawrence Hildreth and his wife
came in and
She—They did? >
He—l have just said so.
She—Well you needn’t be so cross
about it.
; He —They came in and
She—ls she pretty?
He—Pretty enough. Jack bowed and
She—Does he know them?
He—Well, now, do you suppose he
would have bowed if he didn’t know
them? I declare if I
She—How was she dressed?
He—How should I know ? I never
looked at her dress. What I was going
to tell you was that
She —Did they sit near you ?
He—Yes, at the next table. And
while they were ordering, Jack said
that they
She—Couldn’t they hear him ?
He—Do you suppose (fiercely) that
Jack would have no more sense than to 1
let them hear him talking about them?
Look here, now
She—James, if you can’t tell a simple
little incident without getting into a
passion you’d better keep it to yourself.
What did Jack say ?
He —He said' that Mrs. Hildreth’s
father was opposed to the match, and
; She—How did he know that 1
He—Great Ciesar ! There you go
again !
She—James, will you please remember
that it is your wife to whom you are
speaking, sir?
He—No other woman could drive me
raving, distracted, crazy, asking silly
questions about
She—James !
He—Every time I tell you anything
you begin, and you
She—James (rising with dignity and
saying stiffly), I do not propose listening
to any such insulting remarks, and
He—You never listen tc anything.
That’s the trouble, if
She— vVhen I ask you a simple question
you
He—l’d say “simple!" You’ve asked
( me a million “simple” questions in the
last half hour, just because I said that
! Jack Burroughs said that
She—l do not wish to know’ what Mr.
| Jack Burroughs said, if you cannot tell
it respectfully. I shall have my dinner
sent to my room, since it is so painful
for you to eat with an idiot! (Retires
scornfully, while he narrowly escapes an
it tack of apoplexy.)
Consekvativx estimates are that 40,007
laborers will be needed within ths next
| month in order to harvest the immense
grain crop of the Northwest. The acreage
| is a little less than last year, but the yield
! promises to be equally great, if only the
crop can be secured. In order to induce
laborers to come to the relief of the wheat
farmers of the Northwest, all the railroads
in that section have announced a special
rate of $5 from Chicago to the Dakotas for
farm laborers.

PISHING FOR A FINGER.
A retired farmer named Blunt came to
live in town upon his income and natur
ally brought with, him the economical
habits which had vrabled him to save a
fortune. One day Blunt required some
carpentry work about his house, and be
ing of a mechanical turn and rather
handy resolved to do it himself. He
bought his lumber in one place at a star
vation price, took it to a factory and
begged the privilege of using the buzz
saw to slit it instead of hiring it done.
The owner good-naturedly rigged up
the machinery and Blunt went to
work. After a time an outcry was
heard, and Blunt was seen doubled up
like a jack-knife nursing his right hand.
Upon inquiry as to his hurts he an
swered ;
“I’ve sawed my finger off.”
Some one then suggested that if the
lost finger could be found it would iu
time grow on again. A search was made
without success. A bystander finally
said: “Lay a penny on the bench and
then watch for the Sugar. ” It was done,
wiien lo! the sawdust was seen to be in
a commotion and out popped the lost
finger and pounced down on the penny
with a vice-like grip.—Pniladclphia
Post.
The Value of Fish as Food.
Professor W. O. Atwater has just con
cluded an exhaustive study of the chemi
cal composition and nutritive values ol
food fish and the aquatic invertebrates,
which is presented in the last report
issued by the United States Fish Com
missioner.
There is ample variety of fish food in
this country, as Professor Atwater tells
us that we may select from no less than
1000 different species of fish.
The following are the deductions a?
to the food value of fish: Comparing the
flesh of domestic animals and ol fish, tho
latter contains mure water and less fat,
and hence less nutritive material pound
for pound. In the flesh of the flounder
there is sixteen per cent, of nutrients, in
the cod eighteen, while in lean beef there
is from twenty-five to thirty-two per
cent. The fatter fish, as the herring,
mackerel, salmon, shad, and whitefish,
approach nearer to bsef. In dry or salt
fish the nutrients are increased, and
salted codfish contains twenty-eight per
cent., salt mackerel forty-seven, and
desicated cod as high as eighty-two per
cent. Oysters have little of the nutri
ents, only from nine to nineteen, lobsters
about eighteen per cent. In the con
sumption of fresh fish, as bought iu the
market, by the pound, the quantity of
refuse, bone, skin, is more considerable
by comparison than that of meat, unless
a piece of the latter with too mush bone
is bought.
It has taken a number of years to make
the public get rid of tho idea that in
eating fish it was procuring additional
quantities of phosphorus. Professor
Atwater is very emphatic in regard to
this. He says
“There is a widespread notion that fish
contain* large proportions of phosphorus,
and is on that account particularly valu
able for brain food. The percentage ot
phosphorus in the analysis of fish is not
larger than is found iu the flesh of other
animals used for food. But if even the
iish were richer in phosphorus, there is
no proof that it would on that account
be better for brain food. The question
ot the nourishment of the brain and the
sources of the intellectual energy are too
indeterminate to allow decisive state
ments and toe abtruse for speedy solu
tion. There is no experimental evidence
to w arrant the assumption that fish is
more valuable tbau meats or other food
material for the nourishment ol the
brain.—N«w YwJs Tune*. , |

The News of Her Progress Portrayed in
Pithy and Pointed Paragraphs

solved lo put up the money themselves.
A dispatch from Athens, Ga., states
that C. A. Avant, United States marshal
from Judge Emory Speer’s court, passed
over the entire line of the Macon and

Judge Newman at Atlanta.
Dispatches from Fairmount, W. Va.,
state that three thousand miners in that
portion of the Monongahela valley began
a strike Monday to force recognition of
their labor organization. Tho operators
declare they will close their mines per
manently if necessary to win the strug
gle. Considerable dissatisfaction exists
among the union miners of Kanawha
valley. It is probable that the strike
will extend to that section. Ten thous
and men will be affected.

ceiver. Mr. Young is one of the officers
of the American Construction Company,
of Chicago, and represents the miuority

garded Mr. Young as the best man to
carry out the decrees of the court.

THE SUB-TREASURY BILL.
The Ways anil Means Committee Make
an Adverse Report.
A Washington dispatch of Friday
says: The committee on ways and means
through Mr. Mc.Ylillin, to-day made a
unanim- us report adverse to the sub
treasury hill. The report is a long doc
ument ind discus es all phases of the
questio ma enmpri hensive style. It
begins by defeiri g, lor a time,the ques
tion of the constitutional ty of the bill,
and proceeds to state objections that oc
cur to the committee, 'they are briefly
stated as follows: If there should be arc
ducti n in the value of goods, after they
are stored,below 80 per cent,the govern
ment would lose; if h- valu increased
the gQvernment »oulo get none of the
profit. The jurisdiction of fudtr.il courts
would be increased so as to make them
att instrument of oppression to the peo
ple. The bill tends s'rongly towards
centralization and interference with in
dividual freedom A great fluctuation
in currency will follow its enactment.
The inauguration of the scheme would
be the speculator’s delight; he could
carry $250,000 worth of wheat with less
than $05,000 cash and pay the govern
ment only 1 par cent interest. The
gnat increase in the number of federal
officials would make it almost im
possible to dislodge a corrupt
administration. No provision is
made for the redemption of the
many millions to he issu d under the bill
and bauks would have the power to force
the destruction of any part of the govern
ment’s money. The bill is class legisla
tion, and it would he unjust to the dsy
labon r and other toilers. People having
a particular kind of property to deposit
could get mouey at one per cent from the
government und lend it at a higher rate
to other per ons. Lastly it is violative
of the constitution as is shown by cita
tions from the highest judicial tribunals
of law.
