Marine Rubber Chewers.

band from the stationery display, be¬

“What ar® you up to there?” snarled

“Just rubber chewin’,” said the sail¬

lers. Keeps off gun headache.
“Of course you. a landlubber, don’t

Clos* Quarters For Washington.
At the time, now some years ago,
when subscriptions were being solicit¬
ed for the erection of a statue in New
York city to President Washington a
gentleman called to secure a contribu¬
tion from an old resident who, al¬
though wealthy, was a little “near."
On learning the object of the visit the
rich man exclaimed:
“Washington! Washington! Why,
Washington does not need a statue! I
keep him enshrined in my heart!”
In vain were the visitor's solicita¬
tions, and be was naturally indignant
at the parsimony of the millionaire.
“Well. Mr. R.,” he remarked quietly
as he rose to leave, “all I can say is
that if the Father of His Country is
in the position in which you describe
him he is in a tight place!”
The Title “King.”
The sovereign title of king has gen¬
erally been supposed to be derived
from the old British word “gyning,’’
signifying “wise." But the Hebrew
term “roseh” is doubtless the root of
1 all the present titles denoting kingly
power, including the Punic “reseh,”
the Scythian “relx.” the Latin “rex.”
the Spanish “rey” and the French
•Yoi.” The German nations styled their
monarch according to their different
dialects—“konlg,” “kuning,” “koning.”
“kiug.”

Time's Changes.

Washington's Spring
The first thing that greets the eyes
of a stranger alighting from the train
at Cold Spring, a village resting snug¬
ly in the highlands of the Hudson, is
Washington’s spring, inclosed by three
bowlders in the rough, which, as one
approaches, are seen to contain a tiny
pool of spouting water. An inscrip¬
tion in relief upon the bronze plate
announces that “General George Wash¬
ington, in frequent visits to the Ameri¬
can troops encamped near by during
the war of the Revolution, drank of
this spring and gave it its name, Cold
spring.”
The encampments referred to were
principally upon the famous Constitu¬
tion Island, just below, to which was
attached one end of the great chain
which was stretched across the river
to West Foint and checked navigation
by the British warships during the
Revolution.
Nietzsche and the Invalid.
An invalid lady who often met
Nietzsche found him the gentlest, kind¬
est and most sypmathetic of men. He
“Implored her with tears in his eyes
not to read his books.” Such was his
knowledge of women that he was
thunderstruck to find shortly after¬
ward that the'lady at once proceeded
to read them all. He was further
stupefied by the discovery that, hav¬
ing read them, she was utterly un- j
moved by the philosopher’s unanswer¬
able demonstrations that feeble per¬
sons like herself had no right to live
and that women were distinguished by
this, that and the other objectionable
attribute. It must have been a blow
to him.—London News.
Her Awful Sin.
A little girl of six once went in great
distress to her mother, saying that she
had committed a sin which could nev¬
er be forgiven and which was too bad
to be repeated. By dint of a little
coaxing she was Induced to make a
full confession, which was in this
wise:
“1 felt so sorry for poor Satan and
wanted to give him a little comfort, j
So 1 got a glass of cold water and
poured It down a little hole In the
kitchen floor.”
Discourteous.
At a game of “definitions" a discour¬
teous wag gave just offense once by
defining woman as “a creature that
was made after man and has been aft¬
er him ever since!”
Her Exact Age.
“How old is Belle?”
“Twenty-four her last six birthdays/
