NOTHING WAS LOST.
An Omission In a Wedding Ceremony
That Didn't Count.
A distinguished officer of the United
States navy once told this story on
himself:
At the time of his marriage he had
been through the civil war and had
had many harrowing experiences
aboard ship, through nil of which he
kept courage and remained as calm
as a brave man should. As the time
for the ceremony came on, however,
his calmness gradually gave,way. At
the altar, amid the blaze of brass but
tons and gold lace marking the full
naval wedding, the officer was all but
stampeded, and what went on there
seemed very much mixed to him.
Fearing the excitement of tbe moment
would, temporarily take him off his
feet, the officer had learned the mar
riage ceremony letter perfect, as he
thought, and he remembered repeating
the words after the minister In a me
chanical sort of way.
After the ceremony was over and all
was serene again, Including tbe offi
cer's state of mind, the kindly clergy
man came up to him and touched him
on the shoulder.
•‘Look Ijcre. old man,” he said; “you
didn’t endow your wife with any
worldly goods.” ....
What’s that?” asked the bridegroom
with something of astonishment In his
voice.
‘Why, I repeated the sentence ‘With
all my worldly goods I thee endow*
several times, and despite my efforts
you would not say It after me.”
The bridegroom seemed perturbed
for a moment, and then a beaming
light came Into his face.
'Never mind, sir," he said. “She
didn’t lose a blessed thing by my fail
ure.”—Exchange.
Protractad-
“Hello, Barker!” said- Smltfcln, meet
ing bis friend on the street “How
goes it?”
“All right, I guess,” said Barker.
“Seen Bobble Sponger lately?”
"Yes: Bobble is down at my place
at Westhnmpton now. 1 Invited him
down for: the’ week end”—
"Why, I thought, .that was three
weeks ago!”
“It was,” said Barker, "but you
know. Bobbie Is an expert ftt making
both ends meet’’—Harper’s Weekly.
Damascus cf Marvelous View.
The view of Damascus from the
mountain where Mohammed made hid'
great renunciation Is one of the mar
velous views of the world. Again and
again I deserted tbe mosques, the ba
zaars, the marble baths, the courts of
the fountains, the shadowy khans and
the gardens by the streams for that
bare height on which Abraham Is said
to have had the nnlty of God revealed
to him,—Robert Hlchens la Century.
WHITE FACES. ~ ’
Effect They Produce Whan First 8ssn
by Colored Races.
Either Stanley or Livingstone per
haps told the world that after long
living in Africa the sight of white
faces produced something like fear.
(And the evil spirits of Africa are
white.) Well, even after a few months
along with black faces I have felt
that feeling of uncomfortableness at
the sight of white faces. Something
ghastly, terrible, seemed to have come
Into those faces that 1 had never
imagined possible before. I felt for a
moment the black man's terror of the
white. At least 1 think 1 partly real
ized what it was.
You remember the Romans loBt tholr
first battles with the north through
shear fear. The fairer the weirder,
the more spectral the more terrible.
Beauty there Is in the north, of lta
kind. But It is surely not comparable
with the wonderful beauty of color In
other races.
• • • s 's • *
To appreciate the beauty of colored
skins it Is not simply enough to travel.
One must become familiar with the
sight of them through months and-
years. (So strong our prejudices are!)'
And at last when you perceive there
are human skins of real gold (living
Btatues of gold with blue hair, like the
Carlb half breeds) and all fruit tints
of skins, orange and yellow and peach
red and lustrous browns of countless
shades, and all colors of metals, too—
bronzes of every tone—one begins to
doubt whether a white skin ffi so Ojae.
(If you don’t believe these colors, just
refer to Broca's pattern books, where
you will find that all jewel colors ex
ist in eyes and all fruit colors and
metal colors in skins. I could not be
lieve my own eyes till I saw Broca.)
I have Been people who had grass
green emeralds instead of eyes and'
topazes and rubles for eyes. And 1
have seen races with blue hair.—Cor.
Lafeadlo Hearn in Atlantic.
TRICK ANIMALS.
Sometitnse the Trainer Has to Do His
Work Quickly.
"You wouldn’t believe bow fast you
have to work to train an animal,” said
the man who has broken everything
from elephants to geese the other day.
“Why, J can tell Just how mnny hours
it is going to take to break in any
kind of animal yon might mention.
“A woman came to me the other day
and said: '1 want a trained goose for
my magic act. How much will you
charge me to break oneV
“ ’Sixty dollars,’ said 1.
“ ‘Well, how do you figure that oat?’
she nsked.
“ ‘Why, It’s very simple,’ I said. ’It’s
$1 an hour, and it will take me just
sixty hours'.’
"Yes. sir; I can train a goose—that
is, to follow me around and do some
simple tricks—in sixty hours, a pig lu
thirty hours, and so on. But as for
a peafowl and a guinea hen—they
can’t be trained In a hundred years.
“Now, you take a troupe of trained
dogs. That doesn’t take half as long
to do as people suppose. No.'sir; a
man with an animal show has got to
work fast. Why, maybe the boss
comes around on a Monday morning
and says: 'Here—here’s a bunch of
six dogs. Now make an act out of it
for next Monday's show.’
“There are six green dogs to- make
Into a troupe lu a week. Can't be
done, you say? Sure, It can! One
dog—one trick—one day. That’s the
principle, and you can do it too. Each
dog will learn a trick each day all
right One will learu a back somer
sault one a front somersault one to
walk on bis bind legs, one on his front
legs, one to roll over, and so on. Then
by the end of the week you've got a
nice little act, and all the people are
acclaiming about your years of pa
tience and that sort of Stuff. Patience
is a good tbdng, of course, but the
secret is just ‘know how;’ that’s all."

Telling Eggs. -
The problem of tellings eggs is not
an easy one by any means. Very few
of us know bow to do It properly. On
tbe other band, there are those who
think they should not be told at all,
but that Is old fashioned nonsense, in
spired entirely by false modesty. It
is safe to say that eggs should be told
at as early an age as possible consist
ent with their temperament, if al
lowed to go too long there Is grave
danger that the egg will become bad,
and when an egg becomes bad It is

they had been told In time.—Lippln-
