Castles Jn the Afr.
Yet I dream my dreams and attend
to my castles in Spain. I have so much
property there that I could not in con¬
science neglect it. All the years of my
youth and the hopes of my manhood
are stored away, like precious stones,
in the vaults, and I know that I shall
find everything convenient, elegant
and beautiful when i come into pos¬
session. As the years go by I am not
conscious that my interest diminishes.
If I see that age is subtly sifting his
snow into ihe dark hair of my Prue, I
smile, contented, for her hair, dark and
heavy as when I first saw it, is all
carefully treasured in my castles in
Spain. If I feel her arm more heavily
leaning upon mine, as we walk around
the squares, I press it closely to my
side, for 1 know that the easy grace of
her youth’s motion will be restored by
the elixir of that Spanish air. If her
voice sometimes falls less clearly from
her lips, it is no less sweet to me, for
the music of her voice's prime Alls,
freshly as ever, those Spanish halls. If
the light I love fades a little from her
eyes, I know that the glances she gave
me in her youth are the eternal sun¬
shine of my castles in Spain.—George
W. Curtis in “Prue and I.”
"Why a Limpet Sticks.
The limpet has gained notoriety by
the strength with which it adheres to
the rock oil which it decides to rest.
The force required to detach the limpet
from tlie rock lias lately been tested by
a well known naturalist, who found
that more than sixty pounds must be
exerted for the purpose. So this little
tiling, weighing about Half an ounce,
sticks so tightly that a force equal to
two thousand times its own weight is
necessary to drag it away.
It was at one time supposed that at¬
mospheric pressure had something to
do with the adhesive power of the lim¬
pet, but it is now generally agreed that
the creature exudes a kind of glue for
this purpose. If you place your finger
on the rock immediately after a limpet
lias been detached, you will feci that
the surface is sticky, and if you allow
your linger to remain there for a short
time you will notice that it Is begin¬
ning to stick quite tightly.—Pearson’s.
Visapprecintive.
A certain politician, eminent but not
refined, made Samuel J. Tiiden a busi¬
ness call at his Gramercy Park man¬
sion. Wishing to he particularly nice
to him, the old gentleman got out a
bottle of Johannisberger Scliloss, the
rarest of Rhine wines, and began to
decant the contents into a minute
glass, sniffing the savor of the juice
and taking great pains to indicate that
a treat was coming. A tray with some
large glasses was at hand. The poli¬
tician reached for one and, grasping
the precious bottle by the neck, dump¬
ed half the contents into it and drank
it all at one gulp. Mr. Tiiden eyed him
malevolently and did not try to pro¬
long the visit. When the door closed
behind the guest, ho said with a snap:
“Blast him! The next time he comes
I’ll give him beer.”—New York World.

There is no doubt that certain flies
are host adapted to different seasons,
times of day and conditions of weath¬
er, but a dozen flies of different names
will fully answer all of these require¬
ments. An angler’s flies resemble notli
ing when cast upon the water. They
are simply a something which attracts
the trout. Color has more allurement
than form, and as there are not so
many colors there is no use for many
flies.' The general rule is for light flies
on dark days and dark or darkish flies
on light days. Sizes are more to be
considered than form and mixture in
makeup. A large trout wants some¬
thing worth his making an effort tn se¬
cure. It is doubtless true that an ar¬
bitrary east of flies cannot be made
uo which will be adapted to all waters.

A Domestic Blend.
A resourceful young matron had a
small dinner party, Covers were laid
for six. and the dinner was charming.
The red wine was not too cold, the
white wine not too warm and tne black
coffee a masterpiece. At the begin
ning of the end of the dinner a cordial
was served. It happened to he Creme
Yvette, and whan the husband tasted
It lie put down his giass with a look
of anguish and was about to speak.
His wife's eye silenced him. Nobody
took more than the first sip of the liq¬
ueur. After the last guest had depart¬
ed the husband braved his wife s eye
and spoke. in tne
‘•My dear,” said ho, ‘‘what
name of all unspeakable things was
the matter with that liqueur?”
His young wife smiled triumphantly.
‘‘Why,” said she, “when I came to
look at the bottle, just before dinner, I
found there wasn’t enough left to go
round, It was too late to get any
more, so 1 just added to it a bottle of
violet toilet water, It was the same
coior, and it had the same smell, and
I knew nobody would notice the dif¬
ference. Wasn’t it good?”—Washing

The .Jewish Torah.
Of the objects used in the Jewish
synagogue one of the most interesting
is the Torah scroll. The Delineator de¬
scribes this as parchment scroll in
Hebrew, mounted on wooden rollers,
wrapped in a cloth of green velvet, em¬
broidered in silk, which Is held by a
silver worked belt and covered with a
mantle of black velvet embroidered in
gold. The upper handles of the rollers
are of carved wood and the lower of
ivory, with silver hells on the rollers.
The Jewish Torah, or the law. is con¬
sidered by the people of this race the
most important and sacred portion of
the Scriptures. In order that it may
be kept alive in the minds of the peo¬
ple it is divided into as many “peri
copes” as there are Sabbaths in the
year, so that within a twelvemonth
the entire book will have been read
through. A manuscript copy is used,
having been prepared by a professional
scribe on parchment made of the skin
of a clean animal—that is, one the flesh
of which may be eaten.
Nourishment 5>y Bathing.
“It is well known that the akin is a
groat absorbent, and nutrition even
can be conveyed through its agency,”
said a trained nurse. “A physician once
ordered a beef tea hath for a child that
I was nursing who was apparently dy¬
ing of some exhaustive bowel trouble
and with admirable effect. And I my¬
self have found that rubbing delicate
persons with warm olive oil is an ex¬
cellent tonic. If I had the charge of a
puny, sickly ba'oy, I should feel inclin¬
ed to give it oil baths instead of water
baths and try the effect. The oil is
quite as cleansing, and it stands to rea¬
son that such tiny beings, particularly
if they are badly nourished, should not
have the natural oil of the body con¬
tinually washed away.”
Sorry lie Si5cke,
He was in the parlor of a St. Louis
residence while his ftaneee was playing
a Chopin sonata on the piano.' Her
mother was seated almost opposite her
future son-in-law, and when the prop¬
er opportunity presented itself she
said:
“Don't you think Edna has a great
ear for music?”
“I certainly do.” replied the young
man. “If you’d stretch a few strings
across, it would make a lovely gui¬
tar”—
But lie never finished his sentence.—
New York Herald.
It All Depends.
A student long ago asked the presi¬
dent of Oberiin college if he could not
be permitted to take a shorter course
of.stiuly.
“Oh. yes,” replied the president, “but
that depends upon what you want to
make of yourself. When God wants to
make an oak, he takes a hundred
years, but when he wants to make a
squash he takes six months.” — In¬
structor.
Answered.
“If a ship,” began the comedian with
the rose tinted board, “is 100 feet long
and 40 feet wide and its masts are 100
feet high and the bo’sun is bowlegged,
what does the capstan weigh?”
“It weighs the anchor!” hoarsely
shouted the audience as it grabbed the
benches to prevent itself rising en
masse aud doing violence to the thes
pians.—Baltimore American.
Oriental Horseshoes.
The type of horseshoe common in the
orient is a plate fitted so as to cover
the entire bottom of the hoof, with a
perforation in the center. The weight
of the average horseshoe is three
fourths of a pound. The native smiths
usually cut these plates from sheets of
wrought iron and rudely shape them
for the purpose in view.
Tnt Tat.
“The word ‘reviver’ spells the same
backward or forward.”
It was the frivolous man who spoke,
“Can you think of another?”
The serious man scowled up from
his news P a P er -
