A Little Trick That Helps Out a Life
like Picture.
Apelles, the ancient Greek artist,
is said to have painted a dish of
fnrit which had so natural an ap
pearance that it attracted birds.
But we have got so far beyond old
Apelles that anybody who can paint
or draw at all can make a picture of
a hook or nail on which a key can
he hung. This may be called a
strong likeness, but in reality,

CONDENSED STORIES.
Dr. Mi!burn's Congressional Prayer
and the Reporters.
tfic PhMcIpiia Record tells oLan
»nmr>sing difference of opinion among
the newspaper men and shorthand
reporters in the senate. One day
not long ago Dr. Milburo, the blind
ehaplain of the senate, in his open-
ing prayer asked divine favor for
the reporters who send out accounts
of what is done in congress. There
are two classes of these reporters—-
the, newspaper # men in the gallery
and the shorthand men on the floor
who report for The Congressional
Becord. Each side at once declared
that the prayer was meant for the
other, and in the controversy that
arose an appeal was taken to Chap
lain Milburn, who promptly declar
ed that all reporters were meant, as
all needed to be prayed for.
The discussion brought to light
the fact that the chaplain's prayers
ore open to revision when occasion
demands, just as the speeches of
senators and representatives are. In
1873 Dr. Sunderland; the senate
ehaplain, mentioned a host of per
sons by name in a prayer and the
next day found he had forgotten to
say a word for Henry Wilson, the
vice president of the United States,
so the official reporters, after a con
sultation with Dr. Sunderland, in
terpolated a n|ce little prayer for
the vice president.
No Head at That Price.
Mrs. William Astor tells this good
story of a clever retort made by one j
of her coachmen : She had been out
driving in Central park, where it is
her habit to take a turn every after
noon when the weather is fine. The
coachman*. owing to a too lively use
of the whip, had nearly run into an
other vehicle and had displayed bad
judgment generally.
. "James," said Mrs. Astor after re
turning to her residence, "you were
very careless today. What was your
bead given you for if not to use ?"
“Mem," said James, "if I had any
head sure I'd not be here working
for you at $35 a month."—Hew

HANGING THIS KHZ.
though the artist draws the hook;
the key is drawn and supported by
a powerful magnet hidden behind
the canvas or paper.
A minute dot having been made
on the canvas to mark the position
of the magnet, the artist calls in his
friends to witness his wonderful
skill. Then with a few bold strokes
he draws the picture of a hook and
calmly hangs the key on it, a steel
key, of course, or a hunch of small
keys on a steel ring or any small

Pan-Europeanlsm Is Rubbish. •
Hothing less than the supreme
realization of the commercial side
of empire will be needed to plunge
England and America into a war of
tariffs. For the rest Englishmen
laugh at pan-Europeanism. The
weapon has been used against them
selves, and even in the grasp of a
master hand it snapped like a twig.
What Napoleon could not effect
against England the concert of Eu
rope is hardly likely to effect against
America. Such, at any rate, is the
English view, both popular and offi
cial. England will have no hand in
forging the new weapon; still less
will she direct it. One may even go
further and with not less assurance.
Were united Europe in some freak
of madness to attempt, as it has
actually been suggested she might
attempt, to prohibit American ex
ports by;force England would be
compelled by sheer national neces
sity to join with America in frus
trating it.-—Atlantic.

Where Pearls Are Found.
Old geographies make the Persian
gulf the seat of the pearl industry,
but now many beautiful pearls are
found in different parts of Amer
ica. In the Mississippi river and its
tributaries in Minnesota and Wis
consin qnite a number of people are
engaged in fishing for the mussels
in which the pearls are found. It
is said that one pearl is found in ev
ery ten mussels fished from the wa
ter. The fisherman does not worry

A Monster of Fat.
In Vladosta, Ga., recently a hog
was killed whose gross weight was
1,260 pounds; his net weight was
955 pounds. Each ham weighed
102 pounds. This fat monster pro
duced 510. pounds of lard, or nearly
a tierce and a half—enough to last
a small family about four years. Be

No Deprivation.

Boston house was asked to spend a
fortnight camping out with his boy
cousins.

promise me not to get into a canoe
while you are there," said his anx- I
ions mother, "for I should expect to
hear you were drowned every single j
day," she added, with earnestness.
The bov reluctantly gave his I
promise! How faithfully he kept it I
is clearly shown by the following I
letter which his mother received in j
due time: 0
Dear Mother—I’m having the best kind J

I’ve really wanted to try one, for we were j

across and let the other„ four take the J

back again too. Wasn’t that great? And j:
