The Light That Failed.
It was by an accident that Xlr. Kip
Mng got his famous title. “The Light
That Failed Ho had almost decided
to call tlie no vl “The Failure,” al¬
though he was dissatisfied with this.
One evening as he was sitting in his
study reading by lamplight the light
went suddenly down-almost failed, in
fact. In a second Kipling jumped up.
exclaiming excitedly, “By Jove, I’ve
got It!” Pointing to the lamp, he said.
"The Light That Failed.”
He Got on Deck.
A sailor who had landed after a long
voyage, and having been paid off, call
ed a cab, threw his luggage inside and
jumped ou top himself.
“Beg pardon, sir,” said the astonish
ed cabman, “but you should get inside
and put your boxes on top.”
“Steer the craft ahead, jarver. Pas
sengers always go on deck and lug¬
gage in the hold,” was the reply from
the top.—London Tit-Bits.

A WONDERFUL STREAM.
The Mississippi River, Its Magnitude
and tSie Area It Drains.
The Mississippi river, lying wholly
within the temperate zone, is in this
respect more fortunately situated than
the more fertile valleyed Amazon, since
the climate here, varied and sometimes
Inhospitable as it is. offers *
of human development there denied.
The main stream is 2,500 miles in
leugih—that is, about ten times that
of the Seine. As Mark Twain has said,
it is “t’ne crookedest river" in the
world, traveling 1.300 miles to covet
the same ground that a crow would
fly over in 075. For several hundred
miles it is a mtte in width. Back in
1882 it was seventy miles wide when
the liooil was highest.
The volume of water discharged by
It into the sea is second only to the
Amazon and is greater than that of
all European rivers combined (omitting
the Volga). The amount is estimated
at. 139 cubic miles annually—that is. it
would fill annually u tank 139 miles
long, 139 miles wide and 139 miles
high. With its tributaries it provides
somewhat more than 10,000 miles of
navigable water, more than any othei
system on the globe except the Aina
zon and more than enough to reach
from Lake Superior to Paris by waj
of Kamchatka and Alaska, about
thrae-fourths of the way around thf
globe. The sediment deposited is 400,
000,000 tons, enough to require daily
for its removal 500 trains of fifty cars,
each carrying fifty tons, and to make
each year two square miles of new
earth over a hundred feet deep
The area which it drains is roughly
1,250.000 square miles, or two-fiftlis of
the United States. That is, Germany.
Austria-Hungary, France and Italy
could be set down within this area
and there would still he some room to
spare.
It has the strength, for the most part
put to no use whatever, of GO.OOOa.H 10
horses. The difference between high
water and low water is in some places
fifty feet, which gives some impression
of the range of its moodiness.—John
Finley i* Scribner’s Magaz'ne.
Pitfalls of Success.
“How’s your son, the lawyer, get
ting on?"
“Badly, poor fellow. He’s In jail."
“How’s that?”
“He was retained by a horse thief to
defend him, and he made such a good
plea that the judge held him as an
accessory.”—LIppiucott’s.
Talking the Langi/a^P.
“Our new bookkeeper can’t seem to
see a mistake when it’s pointed out to
him.”
“He's a ball fan. Don’t allude to ’em
us mistakes; allude to ’em as bone
head plays. He'll understand that all
right.”—Pittsburgh Post.
