Hew Good Manners Sawed Him.
This nneedete proves the profitable
character of good manners and was
told to me by a descendant of the gen
tlernan who owned them; Mr. M.
- was a rebel in 1745. He was
taken and was being brought to th
tower with Kilmarnock and Balmeri
no. A block stopped the sad cortege,
and a lady, looking from a window,
cried, “You tall rebel” (Mr. M. was 0
feet 4 inches), “you will soon he short
er by a head!”
“Does that give you pleasure, mad
am?” said Mr. M.
“Yes, it does.”
“Then, madam,” said Mr. M., taking
off his hat and making a low bow,
do not die in vain.”
Lady was moved. She made in
terest for Mr. M. There exists a paper
in the hand of George II. to this effect
‘Let Lady —— [the name is obliterat
ed] have access to her tall rebel and he
hanged to her.”
The royal clemency was extend'.-1 to
Mr. M. I saw his pardon, beautifully
engrossed within a decorative herder
and framed, on the wall of his descend
ant’s study. It is fair to add that prac
tically the whole county of Ross and
also the Earl of Sutherland petitioned
for the life of the courteous Mr. M.—

How to Grow Short.
If you climb a mountain, your height
decreases by three-quarters of an inch,
and it may even diminish, exceptional
ly, by a full inch.
This is a fact known to all experi
enced mountain and Alpine climbers.
On reaching the summit of the heights
that form the pleasure ascents of lioli
day makers in the Alpine districts the
stature of the climber is found to have
become less to the extent already men
tioned.
Doctors think that the attitude as
sumed of necessity in ascending is the
cause of this diminution. Some per
sons believe that the pressure of the at
mosphere produces this shrinking. In
favor of the medical theory there is the
other unquestionable fact that the de
crease of stature is greater in those
who carry a heavy pack during the
climb.
When the Alpinist has descended to
the ordinary level, his height begins to
increase, but the normal length of the
body is not attained until several hours
after reaching the regular surface of
the earth.

Apropos of the British royal titles a
reference to colonial possessions ap
peared in an English sovereign’s des
ignation so long ago as the reign of
Queen Elizabeth. The poet Spenser
dedicated his “Faerie Queen” to Eliza
beth. and then he. described her as
“queen of England, France and Ireland
and sovereign of the Dominion of Vir
ginia.” It may also be remembered
that the Virginians refused to acknowl
edge Oliver Cromwell’s protectorate un
til he sent r. fleet to compel them to
do so. Charles II., In return expression
of the colonists’ loyalty, had himself
proclaimed in Virginia on his restora
tion as “king of Great Britain, Ireland
and Virginia." The further statement
has been made that Charles caused the
arms of Virginia to be quartered with
those of England, Ireland and Scot
land. Certain it is that they appear so
on English coins struck as late as 1773
by order of George III.—Liverpool

A Tarantula's Jump.
“There are strange sights in Porte
Rico,” said a returned traveler. “Ta
rantulas are one of them,” he contin
ued, “and yon should see a tarantula
jump! One of them went through a
marvelous performance, with myself
and a dog for spectators. The dog’s
barking awoke me early one morning,
and 1 slipped into my shoes and ran
out. Spot—that’s the dog’s name—was
making frantic plunges at an enormous
tarantula, as big as my palm and its
legs covering as much ground as a soup
plate. Its wicked black eyes made me
creep.
“All of a sudden the thing shrank up
like a sponge and jumped for the do
I give you my word, it jumped fifteen
feet if it was an inch. Twice the do
ran under the spider’s jump—fact. Oth
ers were watching by this time, and
they all saw it. Usually, though, he
just side stepped a bit.
“I broke up little pieces of a branch
of a tree and hurled them at the taran
tula. My aim was just good enough to
stir him up. At first he kept junipin
away from us, but Spot always herdt-
him back again. Then he jumped
straight for us. At last a lucky shot
keeled him over, and a few strokes
with a convenient club finished him.”—

The Tall Story That ta Told ot a Pa
risian Gourmet.
Paris is par excellence the city of
gourmets and cranks, and many a
story concerning them has added to the
gayety of the nations. Here is one
of the latest, told by a well known
.French head waiter: One of the regu
lar customers of a famous Parisian
restaurant used to he a short, thin,
shy and shabbily dressed man whose
name no one knew, but who gave out
that he was a butter t’raiei-, jor which
reason he was called the butter man at
the restaurant in question.
He ate next to nothing, but his soup
tureen, filled with a soup specially pre
pared for him, was always put before
him. He took a few spoonfuls and
had it taken away. Next came a
whole fiiiet cf beef, from which he
cut the tiniest slice. Then followed
four quails or a large chicken, of which
he ate one mouthful; together with
two lettuce leaves and one radish. Ilis
dessert was four grapes—never a sin
gle one more—and a cup of coffee. A
bottle of the best claret and another
of the best champagne were served
with the repast, but lie only wetted
his lips with a drop from them and let
them go. He took two cf these meals
a day, and the price for each meal was
129 francs.
But this was not ail. Every time
the butter man got up from his ex
traordinary meal he gave 40 francs to
the head waiter, who put his food on
his plate, since the guest did not like
to handle spoons or dishes; 29 francs
to the waiter, 10 francs to the woman
cashier and 5 francs to the porter.
Thus each meal came to 200 francs.
The head waiter cf the restaurant of
ten did slight errands for him, buying
his cigars, etc., and took them to tlie
Grand hotel, where the butter man
lived. The little old man would then
open the drawer of a wardrobe filled
with heaps of bank notes of from 100
francs to GOO francs in value and
with an enormous mass of goldpieces.
“Pay yourself,” said the owner, and
the head waiter did so, putting the
bills before his patron, who never
deigned to look at them.
One day the mysterious millionaire
went away and was never seen again.

The Subjection of Maa.
“No, I never have a bit of trouble
with my husband,” remarked the fra
little woman with the intelligent face
“In fact, I have him right under my
thumb.”
“You don’t look very strong,” doubt
fully commented the engaged girl.
“You mistake me, my dear. “It’s
mental, not a physical, subjection.”
“Would you mind telling me how”—
“Not a bit. Always glad to help an
one steer clear of the rocks. First o
all, you must know that a man in iov
is the biggest sort of a fool and say
things that make him almost wild when
he hears them in after life. I realized
it, and from the very beginning of our
courtship I kept a phonograph in the
room, and every speech he made wa
duly recorded. Now, whenever my bus
band gets a little bit obstreperous I just
turn out a record or so. Heavens, how
he does rave! But he can’t deny it
They always will, though, if you don’
have proof positive.”
'Thank you,” gratefully murmured
the engaged girl. “I’ll get a phono
graph this very day.”

An amusing story, which may per
haps he entirely true, is told cf a short
sighted but energetic member of the
Russian secret police.
He was walking through a little fre
quented street of St. Petersburg one
night when he spied high up on a lamp
pest a placard.
Aha!” he said to himself, scenting
mischief on the instant and alert for
action. “That’s one of those incendiary
notices about his majesty the czar! It
must come down at once!”
With some difficulty, being of a stout
build, he succeeded in climbing the post
and dislodging the placard. He bore it
to the ground, and there, peering at it
by the light of the lamp, he read two
Russian words, the English equivalent
for which is the well known legend
Wet Paint.”—Y’outh’s Companion.
A Wife*! Allowance.
It Is one of the most humiliating ele
ments in woman’s life in America to
day £vnd. one of the phases which is
most uncomplimentarily reflective upon
American husbnnds that a just allow
ance is withheld from many wives.
No matter bow small the allowance
may be, so long as it is fair in propor
tion to the income earned, every wife
should have a purse of her own, sacred
to herself and her needs and free from
the slightest intrusion on the part of
her husband. Every wife is entitled to
this, and no young man—I care not
how small his income nor what his
reasoning may be—starts married life
aright who withholds that courtesy and
that right from his wife.—Edward Bok
in Ladies’ Home Journal.
The TIre«l Farmer.
“Yes, sir, you simply start our auto
mobile plow and leave it to Itself while
you sit on the fence here in the shade
and enjoy your weekly paper and a jug
of hard cider. The plow will go right
ahead and break up your field better
than you could possibly do it, and when
it has finished all you have to do is to
press the button here and stop it.”
“Waal, say, couldn’t you fix it so’s it
would kind o’ steer lip here close to the
fence, so’s I could press the button
without gittin’ down?”— Cleveland
Plain Dealer.

Glasses which have been used for
milk should he washed first in cold wa

Wilted or drooping flowers may be

Never put soda in the water in which
you wash china that has auy gilding
on it. Soda injures the gilding. In
stead use soap, which answers just as
well and has no ill effects.
In washing cut glass only moder
ately hot water should he used on ac
count of the glass being of varying
thickness, which causes the dishes to
expand unevenly if subjected to ex
cessive changes of temperature.

A !-nti!eana-;c's Wisdom.
The writer of this rode bronchos and
“punched” cattle on the ranges of Mon
tana and Wyoming twenty years ago
and had ample opportunity to study
the habits of rattlesnakes. He knows
how they went into their holes then,
and it is doubtful if any improvement
has since been made in their method.
They start in head first, and one would
promptly come to the conclusion that
they reach the bottom of their boies in
this manner, but Mr. Snake is too wily
to keep his head where he cannot have
an eye on the rest of his body; there
fore as soon as he enters the hole a few
inches he makes a half turn which
brings his head to the entrance again
and then permits the remainder of his
length to glide down out of sight—a
very simple performance, you will see.

A Barnard college girl tells in the
New York Times of visiting in a house
hold where grace was said at the table
semioecasionally. Her curiosity got
the better of her. and she asked the
mistress of the house why they didn’t
observe the rite regularly. “Why.”
said the lady with some surprise, “we
say grace only when we have reason
to he thankful. We never dream of
giving thanks when we have only
roast beef or beefsteak or some simple
thing like that: but whenever we have
game or something really nice then we
say grace, for it’s worth while.”
