There is a young woman in Bonner
Springe, Kan, who believes she is
under the Influence of a ourse. She is
most estimable young woman, but
some time ago, while suffering from a
nervous attaok, she was accosted by n
'atnp who came to her door and beg-
ed for something to eat. Ab the
family had been so bothered with
tramps, she answered him very short
ly and told him to get uway from the
place, or she would set the dogs on
him. The man insisted that he was
almost starving, and she slammed the
door in his face.
About an hour later a knook oame
to tile door, and she went there only
to And that the man had returned.
This time he did not ask for food, but,
as soon ns the door was opened, ho be
gan calling down mniedictions oil the
head of the girl. At first slio was in
clined to get angry, and started to call
for some one to have the man arrested,
but ns his bitter words continued she
becnme terribly frightened, nnd, at
last, fainted, in which condition she
was found by her mother, who had
heard the fioise. The man had disap
peared. During tile curse the
trninp had called down a spirit of un
rest on her, and told her that he always
wiBhed her to feel hungry nnd like
wandering, so that she would know
yihat it was to be a poor tramp.
The girl was ill for several days
after the adventure, but is now in ap
parent good henltii. She says that she
feels that she is under a curse. She is
restless, and spends her time walking
up and down about the place, and com
plains of never getting enough to ent.
She eats very little, for her stomnch
will not bear it, but she says she never
feels as if she had eaten anything.
Physicians who hnvo been called in
to see her pronounce it a case of hys
terical mania, and think that it will
wear off in the course of time, if efforts
are made to get the girl’s mind from
the tramp. The parents are making
arrangements to Bend her east to visit
relatives, but the girl insists that she
is perfectly well, except that she
knows the tramp’s curse will follow
her to her grave.
Mo Cum for OrM
A story is told of a woman in
mourning and heavily veiled, foi
whom room was made in a crowded
railway car in a seat with another
woman. The cariosity of the latter
was aroused by the evidently fresh
and deep black of her companion,
which curiosity presently found
voice.
“Lost a friend, I take ttt" she be
gan. A nod replied to her.
“Near relative, I guesst” Another
nod, followed by a brief silence.
“Mother, perhaps!” A shake of the
veiled head met this question.
“Son or daughter,' maybet” A see
ond shake, somewhat more vigorous,
signified denial and rising impatience.
“Husband, then!” confidently. A
short nnd brought a complacent ex
pression to the inquisitor’s face. For
some minutes she was satisfied, then
she hitched about uneasily in her
seat. Tiier-. was more she felt ‘she
ought to know. The Bilent figure
felt it coming and waited. Finally
it came:
“Professor!” A short nod.
“Life insurance!” Another short
nod. with anuoyed emphasis.
“Well, tl-.-n, what’reyou so veiled
up for! He's all right and you too.”
The widow sought the next car.—

Washington rout.
At home the average Congressman
may be a very big man. He may think
he is, nnd hisconBtituents may honestly
think so, too. He came to Washington
to legislate for the oountry, hut nine
times out of ten he doesn’t do any
thing of the kind. He is simply play
ing the role of a sheep, and follows the
bell-wether. The other day a motion
came up to be voted upon by a rising
vote. The Democrats were split on
the matter themselves, and muoh de
pended upon the Republicans. Two
or three new members among the min
ority half rose up, but glancing over
to the big form of Tom Reed, which
was immovable in his olmlr, they sank
back also, and refrained from voting.
To have explained why they didn’t
vote would have been impossible,
They knew that Reed, Burrows nnd
Dlngley did not vote, and that was
sufficient. It is so on the other side.
When Catohings, or Holman, or Mills,
or Springer vote their colleagues do
likewise, and when they refrain the
others refrain. All this seems odd to
the spectator.
Tlio Decline of PnlltenoM*
One ivsnsnu for thedeciineof polite
ness is found in the. fact that wealth
how pushes itself everywhere, and
cultured society suffers by the intro
duction of persons Whose only claim
to recognition is that they have made
money.
Making money does not necessarily
make a man vulgar, but pushing
does. Yet even this change is not
altogether deplorable. It is this n»
tionn! push that has filled the wilder
ness with cities and turned desertB
into cornfields. And in a progress
almost revolutionary in its pace, there
has been no time to keep the hat in
the hand nnd to bo picturesque nnd
elegant Most social evils are re
trievable. unless women take part in
them: hut in the gcuerid decline of
politeness women are undeniably “In
the transgression." They have airily
permitted that indcscrihuble moral
phenomenon called “the tone of so
ciety” to he lowered.
The habits of gregarious fnstness
have been constantly more daring
and reckless. In the middle classes.
Women • have gradually identified
their work with the work of men,
and in this social disturlumce the
most delicate grueos of life ore being
lost—Amelia E. Barr in Lippincott’a

A Hnppy liny r.t Time,.
New York Sun.
There is at least one boy in this city
'fvho is overjoyed by the news of every
funeral the services of which are to be
held in tile church to which lie is at
tached. He is only nine years old, and
is a very poor lad, tile child of needy
parents. He sings in tile church
choir, and whenever the choir is called
upon to sing at a funeral he is paid
the sum of $1 for his service in it,
Yesterday evening he rtislie'd home to
tell his mamma that there were to be
two funerals in tile afternoon. He
laughed beyond measure as he shout
ed i “Good news, mam 1 two funerals!”
He danced and was filled with bliss
over the prospect. He had not sunj
at a funeral for nearly a week, and Iiai
been disconsolate. Ilis mother, too,
was happy over the news, for she need
ed money and her husband was out of
work. When the lad returned home
with $2 after the funerals, the house
hold was cheered up and the family
got a good dinner.
A Tribute to the 01,1 Folk*.
When somebody comes home after
an absence of a generation in Aus
tralia, he finds nobody so delightful
os his grandmother and grandfather.
The younger people have left off
making twisted doughnuts and con
demn pies as unhealthful, but grand
mother assures them grimly that her
“doughnut pot hasn't been empty
nor pio missin from her table a single
meal for fifty years, hi she hain’t
afraid to set herself beside the wom
an o’ nowadays nor the ten men and
women that call her mother beside
any children she knows of a-growin
up.” She lias no need to be ashamed
when she looks baok on her work or
to fear for her reward in the future.
Neither grandfather nor grandmoth

DmIo Nec} Convicted Himself of Theft,

”01' Uno' Ned” was up charged
with stealing four hams. They had
beer, found in his possession, and ns
there was no getting arottnd that,
XJnc' Ned Bought other means of de
fense.
“Ya-as, youah honah, 1 'mit datdoy
was foun in my house; but ’pon my
oat’, sah, I didn’t steal ’em.”
Unc' Ned was a short, thickset
man, with bandy legs, a short heard
on his ohin and nn unctuous smile,
which he now turned on “his honah”
and the courtroom.
You see, youah honah, oil do
night in question I was a-walkin
home along de railro' track. It was
purty dark, sah, 'n I couldn’ see very
fur. 'N den just all at once, sah, a
man 'peared lief oh me. Lori I was
frighten’, sah, turrible frighten. 'N
I Btoppo-d-d, right stock still, youah

“And what did this man do, Uncle
Ned!” inquired the judge.
“■Well, sah, I dunno wewer you’ll
b’lieve it or no, «ih, but dat man bed
fob bundles undab his ohm, ’n”
“Which arm!”
“Fob God, sah, I ciin’t quite disre-
moinber, but It must've bin hees off
slim. Id den dis man come up to
w’ere I was standin 'n he says, says
ho, ‘Soy, Unc’ Ned, heah’s foh
ham-ms.' ’NI s’pose, youah honah,
now dat 1 see how eberyt’ing was,
dey was the foh hams dat was pur-
fisented; sah. Now, w’en dat man
says, ‘IJeah’B foil hams,'I didn’t say
nothin.. Dey might be foh hams an
dey mightn', but dat didn't 'sider mo.
“But w’on ho wont on 'n says, 'Say,
Uno’ Ned, you take doso foh hams
home 'n keep dem foh mo till nex'
week-k h I’ll gib you two ob ’em,
co’se I took ’em Ink anycolohed gem-
men would. But how do you s’pose
dat I o’«l tell dat dey was Btolon hams,
sah, is what I w’d Ink t’ know!” And
thus Unc’ Ned concluded his defense
and took his seat, assuming a very
grieved expression.
“Describe the man who met you
and told you to take care of the hams
for him,” said the judge.
■Wa-al,” said Unc’ Ned slowly,
cocking one eye and looking Ux> at
the ceiling to help his memory, “it’s
putty ho-hd to say, youah honah, fur
it was dnhk, turrible dohk. Butez
near ez ( kin recollec’ he was a short,
thickset sort of a man” (speaking
very slowly), “wid kindah bowlegs,
putty big, wid a boa’yd on hees chin,
'n ez near ez I could see he was kin
dah doh-k complected," describing
himself as accurately as any one
could have done.
Then there was a roar in tho court
room, but Uno’ Ned was finally ac
quitted, as no one could prove that
he hod committed the theft—Minne

Analyzing Motion,
Tho method of analyzing motion
by the chrouophotograph, which has
been so happily applied by M. Maroy
in the coso of moving animals, such
as horses miming or birds and in
sects in flight, has been employed by
M. (}. Demony to examine tlio move
ments of tlio lips in speaking. He
has obtained results which show that
the form of the mouth is quite defi
nite for the different articulate'
sounds.
With these photographs combined
in azeotrope he lias reproduced the
movement of the lips by synthesis.
An ordinary person finds it difficult to
read the words by the animated pic
tures; but u deaf mute who has been
accustomed to read from the Ups of
a speaker finds it easy to do so from

Flvo Pennies,
A St. James avenue car was bowl
ing through Chestnut street, crowd
ed with people on their way to the
opera house. Two ladies boarded
the car. One, who patronizes the
railway often and by chance with
this one conductor, ia always unfor
tunate in having no change hut five
pennies. She related her tale of woo
to her friend and proposed to swap
her five pennies for a ten cent piece,
which was ngroed upon. The con
ductor, equal to the emergency, took
the ten cent piece, butbeforo making
change passed on to her friend, get
ting the five pennies, and returned
them to the indy who first had them,
to the glee of the passengers, who
could not help roaring with laugh
ter, while the conductor had to ram
his glove in his mouth to keep in.
.The lady has decided to pay her own
five pennies in the future.—Spring-

Sarcastic Advice.
It chanced that one of those in
judicious persons, whose name is
legion, on somo occasion pressed
through the circle gathered around
Mr. Browning, and incontinently
asked him to explain there and then
a difficult passage in one of his own
poems—a passage where probably the
masterful thoughts elbowed each
other for precedence. “Upon my
word, I don't know what it means,”
said the poet, laughing, as he closed
the volume thrust into his hands. “I
advise you to ask the ’Browning so
ciety’—they’ll tell you all about it.”

Russian Women.
It is said that the peasant women
in Russia areas ignorant today os
they were in the times of Peter tho
Great, but girls of the upper and
middle class receive a far better edu-,
cation than the women in Austria
and Germany. The natives of Little
Russia are very beautiful, but at the
same time simple and unaffected. In
the northern women there is -move
consciousness of tho power to charm
and a better knowledge of the man
ner in which they should exerciso
such influence. Russians are less
sentimental and more constant in
their love than German and French
women, approaching more closely to
the practical English girl.—Detroit

t» entirely in the language studied. The
vermicular la ignored. Every other lan
guage Is ignored, but Just as much so os 1
though thore were no other language in

You enter a clan room, or a email

wherever and there ttondt a foreign

again without a language to talk with.
Now, the first nursery lore, if any of
us can think hock so far, wo. learning
the name, of material object, immedi
ately around uff These were our play
things, our edibles, a table, a chair, the
carpet, the floor, the wall, or whatever. |
The name, of these things we learned as
they were given ua, or touched, or our |
attention drawn to them. Oar child-
wants stimulated ua to know the names I
of things we wanted. - I
Meantime, people all around ns were,
talking, and the ear, though per hap. noti
seemingly re, was ever listening. Sorae|
words, perhaps, we understood, and the*
meaning of others we learned by context, j
Expressions and phrases were caught,,
and though not understood folly, parrot-
like repeated. Gradually the language
opened to ua We were learning it by I
bearing it spoken, like a tune.
In imitation of this, the first instrno-1
don given Is object teaching. To facili
tate this, the teacher Is provided with a
text book, carefully thought out, con
taining a vocabulary of words most;
needed in conversation—which Is ths
first thing aimed sL
But meantime the teacher goes on talk
ing, his articulation being very slow and
accentuated, eaoh word and each syllable
