Lose the Pleasure of Existence.
It is usual to envy the even-temp¬
ered people—those who are never un¬
duly elated nor cast down, who “knit
on plain” all the time. If one likes
that sort of thing, it would be equally
natural to envy the animals—cows and
pigs, for instance—whose serenity is
seldom disturbed. For my part, I
think those even-tempered people lose
nine-tenths of the pleasure of exist¬
ence. The depths of grief and gloom
into which impulsive people are
thrown are amply made up for by the
equally unreasonable and unreasoning
joy into which they spring at the
slightest possible excuse; and the sor¬
row of a quarrel with a dear one is
paid for in the delight of “making up.”
Parents are very apt to impress on
their children the beauty of an even
disposition, but, so far as I can see,
the only benefit derived from it is an
unwrinkled complexion.—New York
News.

Iowa Man Revives When the Train
Crosses Mississippi River.
' As a recent train of the Chicago.
Milwaukee & St. Paul line halted a
few miles east of the Mississippi,river
a stretcher bearing a limp, carefully
wrapped figure was gently deposited
iu a baggage car. A tearful looking
woman was in attendance; the train¬
men were all service and solemnity,
and the passengers in the adjoining
coaches were gtlrred with emotions of
helpless sympathy.
The bell rang, the engine caught its
breath and the train swept on its
westward way. Passengers returned,
for the most part, to newspapers and
novels, but a few of the most thought¬
ful ones continued to muse over the
sad fate of the prostrate traveler in
the baggage car and to have the dis¬
turbed feelings of following hard upon
a hearse.
An hour later, the Mississippi hav¬
ing been crossed in the meantime, the
occupants of the smoking car—among
whom was the Qhicagoan who vouches
for this story—ere treated to a lat¬
ter-day miracle. Suddenly, some fu¬
neral wrappings still clinging tq him,
the man lately seen upon the stretch¬
er, entered the car, dropped into a
seat, and, lighting a cigar, ejaculated
in a voice of deep content and consid¬
erable vigor, “Well, now, I declare of
I don't feel.fust rate! I jes’ said all
’long I’d git well as soon as ever I
got inio Ioway ”

gproots the good seed. ,

IS THE SPHINX DOOMED?
Celebrated Egyptian Figure Crumbling
Under Influences of the New Climate.
The present is a period of the vanish¬
ing of monuments which have stood
for thousands of years. The other
day Venice lost one of her famous rel¬
ies of past days, and many another
building in the lovely Queeu City of
the Adriatic is threatened with de¬
struction.
And now comes the news that an
even more famous, an infinitely more
venerable monument is likely to disap¬
pear. It is said that the Sphinx, which
has stood on the banks of the Nile since
the shadowy days of the Pharoahs,
cannot long resist the crumbling oc¬
casioned by modern conditions in
Egypt.
Since the British have been in con¬
trol in Egypt they have altogether
changed the face of the country. Land
that was once desert is now smiling
with verdure. Irrigation has reclaimed
thousands of acres, and the great dam
at Assouan will result in a marvelous
increase in the size of the region under
cultivation.
All this has resulted in so modify
ing the atmosphere of the country that
the dry air which, allowed the preser¬
vation of the Sphinx no longer exists.
Every one knows that the preservation
of the monoliths Inf Loudon and New
York, however carefully they be
watched, cannot be continued indefi¬
nitely, and it is said that the same
trouble which caused so much discus¬
sion here in regard to Cleopatra’s
Needle is threatened in the case of
the famous figure and pictures. t|at has inspired so
many poems was!
The Sphinx built before the
Great Pyramid, somfewheve about 4000
years before Christ, Sit is a recumbent
man-headed lion, feet long, hewn
out of a natqriri
rock, some defect?*of which are sup¬
plied by a partial stone easing. There
is a temple iu front of it, but ail ef¬
forts to prevent the sand settling over
the building have failed.
In front of the breast of the Sphinx
originally appeared an image of a god,
the weather-worn remains of which
may still be made out. The head of
tile Sphinx was a work of art of the
highest type known to the Egyptians,
and finished with the greatest care. It
is now greatly mutilated, but, in spite
of all its injuries, its calm, majestic,
pensive expression still appeals to the
most thoughtless of travelers.
Perhaps means may be found to
avert the threatened ruin of this noble
figure, but the battle between modern
conditions and ancient monuments is
one that usually results in only one
way.—New' York Times.
Domestic Superstitions.
If you sing while making bread, you
will cry before it is eaten.
If your apron becomes untied, some
one is speaking of you.
To sit on a chair while it is being
dusted is a sign of money coming.
If a child whirls a chair about, it is
a sign be will receive a whipping.
When a rocking chair moves about
while you are rocking, you are going
to have a caller.
When making a bed, if you chance
to forget one of the sheets you mil
hear of a wedding in less than a
week.
Do not twirl a chair on one leg. You
are turning your friends from you.
To walk a chair on its legs, instead
of carrying it, signifies the injury of
a near friend or relative.
For a chair to creak when you sit
down on it is a sure sign of an acci¬
dent.
If furniture falls off a load when
moving, expect sickness.—New York
News.
Permission to Cry.
A young woman who went to a wom¬
an at the head of a large philanthropic
institution ou behalf of au unfortunate
person was unsuccessful in her ef¬
forts. The head of the institution, a
corpulent, wheezy person, said: “No,
no; I can’t consent to do that. It is
outside my line, aud I don't approve
of it.” Seeing the crestfallen air of
the applicant she added: “But you're
a nice girl, and any time you want to
have a good cry you just come right
here; you'll be welcome, my dear.”
“Thank you; that’s a kind of hospital¬
ity I rarely meet with,” replied the
young woman. The billowy person
beamed complacently. The touch of
satire was utterly lost ou her.—New
York Press.
Women may be lacking in logic, but
they make up for it in instinct.
