A SLEEPY GUEST.
Why the Lair of the House Was In
dlgnant Over Ills Conduct.
There is a well known legal light of
Chicago who is in deep disgrace with¬
out the shadow of an excuse for him¬
self to bolster up his sinking spirits.
He went out to Hyde Park the other
night to dine informally with some
friends, and his hostess, who had been
married but a short time, put herself
out to entertain him. The dinner was
excellent, and the judge did full jus¬
tice to it They had coffee in the libra¬
ry, and the biggest, most padded leath¬
er chair was put at the guest’s dispos¬
al. With a sigh he sank into its cav¬
ernous depths and prepared for a luxu¬
rious evening with a good cigar ahead
of him. Brilliantly his hostess rambled
on. She told stories that were witty,
and she gently deferred to his views,
but presently he left her to do all the
talking. In the midst of a striking ac¬
count of a theater party she stopped
with a jerk. There was no response
and a dead silence punctuated only by
a gentle and regular breathing. The
judge was fast asleep in his big chair.
There was no doubt of it. Nothing
could conceal the fact. With one in¬
dignant and comprehensive glance at
her plainly delighted husband she
arose and majestically swept up stairs.
And she did not go down again.
It was some time later when her
husband apologetically came up after
her. He had not expected her wrath
to last “Did—did you think you were
badly treated?" he asked.
“How long did he sleep?’’ asked the
still insulted wife.
Again the grin overspread her hus¬
band's face, but he spoke in a sad tone,
as befitted the occasion. “Nearly an
hour,” he breathed. “I wouldn’t mind,"
pacifically.
Then it was the worm turned.
“Mind!” she stormed. "Of course I
wouldn’t only you have grounds now
for the rest of your life for saying I
talk so much it puts people to sleep!”
And she wept.—Chicago News.
SOMETHING ABOUT ARMIES.
Artillerymen Were Once Regarded
a* Mechanics, Sot Soldier*.
Until the time of Charles XII of Swe¬
den the artillery was not considered a
part of the array. The men serving in
it were not soldiers, but regarded as
mechanics. The officers had no army
rank. Charles XII gave artillery offi¬
cers a rank and regularly organized the
artillery iuto companies. The hattle of
Pavla demonstrated the superiority of
the gun iu the hands of the Spanish
infantry. The musket carried a two
ounce* ball and sometimes brought
down at one fire two or three mailed
knights. The French sent a flag of
truce to remonstrate against the use of
such barbarous weapons.
Alexander had four kinds of cavalry—
the cataphraeti, or heavy armed horse;
the light cavalry, carrying spears and
very light armor; the acrobalistse, or
mounted archer*, used for outposts, pa¬
trols and reeonuoitering duty, and the
dimaehoe, or troops expected to act ei¬
ther as cavalry or infantry. Alexander
the Great reorganized his father’s ar¬
my. The file or laehos of 10 men was
the unit; two files made a diloehy;
two diloch ies made a tetrarehy; two
tetrarchies a texiarchy; two of these a
syntagura; 16 of these a small phalanx;
four of these a tetra-phalangarehy, oth¬
erwise known as a large phalanx.
The Greeks attacked in a phalanx,
the spears interlocked and shields over¬
lapping. After the first onset the spears
were dropped, and the day was decid¬
ed with the sword. The cavalry at¬
tacked the enemy In the rear, if possi¬
ble. and, in case of victory, undertook
the pursuit—Pearson’s Weekly.
Not the Conventional Woman.
"But I don’t know you, madam,” the
bank cashier said to the woman who
had presented a check.
But this woman, instead of saying
haughtily, “I do not wish your ac¬
quaintance, sir,” merely replied, with
an engaging smile:
"Oh, yes, you do, I think. I’m the
‘redheaded old virago’ next door to yon
whose ‘scoundrelly little boys’ are al¬
ways reaching through the fence and
picking your flowers. When you start¬
ed down town this morning, your wife
said: ‘Now, Henry, If you want a din¬
ner fit to eat this evening, you’ll have
to leave me a little money. I can’t run
this house on the city water and 10
cents a day’ ”—
“Here’s your money, madam,” said
the cashier, pushing it toward her and
couching loudly.—Chicago Tribune.

THEY DYE THEIR SCALPS.
Fov Beauty After the Head Ha* Bees
Slinved Perfectly Smooth.
A French explorer has discovered
the vaiuest people in the world. By a
curious coincidence they happen to be
also the ugliest. They arc the Pa*
houins, a savage tribe of the western
const of Africa. The main occupation
of these people is the adornment of
their persons. As the Pahouin’s cloth¬
ing is of so light a character as not to
Incommode him he bestows n good
sha’v of bis thought upon the adorn¬
ment of ins body, which he tattoos in
elaborate designs done iu red or blue.
Or a more fanciful effect Is obtained
by tattooing in relief by injecting un¬
derneath the skin the juice of e plant
which produces n permanent swelling.
Sometimes the face and body are also
tinted with a dvo. red being the color
most in demand.
The same methods are used in adorn¬
ing the face, especial attention being
given to the nose. Many of the Pa
houins after tattooing or painting tbeir
noses pierce them with long, slender
bones. Others after piercing the nose
attach to it a string of colored pearls.
Both men and women concentrate
their efforts on their hair. Their inge¬
nuity, which is shown in the construc¬
tion of scores of different headdresses
of bone and metal for the men of the
tribe, chiefly the warriors, is Illustrated
In a far greater degree by the coiffure#
of the women.
The extreme of simplicity in the Pa
houin women’s method in making
themselves beautiful is to shave the
head till it is smooth and round as a
ball and then to color it with a dye.—

A.ddre**ed the Jury.
A man who had never seen the In
aide of a courtroom until he was intro¬
duced as a witness in a case pending
in one of the Scottish courts, on being
sworn took a position with bis back
to the jury and began telling the story
to the judge.
The judge, In a bland and courteous
manner, said:
“Address yourself to the Jury, sir.”
The man made a short pause, but,
notwithstanding what had been said
to him, continued his narrative.
The Judge was then more explicit
and said to him: “Speak to the Jury,
sir, the men sitting behind you on the
benches.”
The witness at once turned around
and making an awkward bow said
with perfect gravity:
“Good morning, gentlemen.”—Buffalo
Courier.

A Secret of Youth.
One night at a reception which Sen¬
ator Beveridge and I attended soon aft¬
er his election the hostess said in mock
surprise:
“Are you Senator Beveridge, the sen¬
ator from Indiana?”
The senator bowed modestly.
"It bardly seems possible. Why, you
•re a mere beardless youth!”
“Madam,” replied Mr. Beveridge with¬
out a smile, “I shave.’’—Saturday Even¬

Pmracisr Tea.
When the yerba mate, or native tea
•f Paraguay, is cultivated, the seeds
are treated to an acid bath before
planting. This softens the hard shell
which surrounds the kernel of the
seeds and enables them to sprout in
three or four months. If planted in
their natural state, it requires three
or four years for the to
