A Kind Hearted Waiter.
A surprising experience was that of
a lady who received a bit of advice on
table etiquette. She is sufficiently free
from vanity to tell the story herself.
She says:
I know that I am not a person of
Impressive appearance. I am inclined
to be short and stout and to dress
plainly. Still, I had hoped that I had
an air of acquaintance with polite so
ciety. But now I shall be more mod
est than ever in my Idea of the impres
sion I make upon strangers.
At my first meal at the hotel where
I passed last summer I was pleased
with the face of my waiter. It was
radiant with kindliness and good na
ture. I began my dinner with soup
and fish. As the waiter set them in
front of me be glanced at the persons
of fashionable appearance who were
my neighbors at table. His kind heart
was suddenly struck with the fear that
I might make an unfortunate impres
sion on them. He bent down and
whispered in my ear;
“Eat your soup first.”
The Subaltern's Retort.
When Sir lan Hamilton was in South |
Africa acting as chief of staff to Lord I
Kitchener he had occasion to visit rath-' |
era large depot of which u young of- I
fleer was in command. Going through '
certain papers. General Hamilton found
that these were not quite in order and
at last said rather wearily to the of- •
fleer: “You know this sort of thins,
will not do nt all. What do you sup-1
pose your brains were given you for?” |
am sure I do not know, general,” ;
was the cheerful reply. “Since 1 came '
here I have worked sixteen hours a
day and more. 1 have acted as mule
teamster, porter, win guard, supply.
clerk, stiftion master, orderly, room:
clerk, typist and a dozen other things. I
I think if I had not been endowed
with brains I might have managed to
take on two or three more jobs as well,
but as it is I must, admit I am some
what handicapped.”
Sir lan Hamilton was forced to
laugh, and shortly after the young
officer found himself attached to the
general’s personal staff.—London Tit-
Bits.
Psychic Phenomena.
The Chinese believe that the p‘o Is I
“equivalent to the supraliminal self, ■
the visible personality interpenetrating
and indissolubly attached to the body,
the hnn being the subliminal or invisi
ble self, also interpenetrating the body,
but not indissolubly attached to It.”
For instance, “the bun of a girl elop
ed with a lover, leaving the physical
body Informed by the p'o only, and
there sho lay In bed, a semiconscious
invalid, for several years, until the re
turn of a runaway pair, who had been
duly married and were bringing home
a couple of children. While the aston
ished parents were wondering what to
make of it all, the girl in the bed got i
up and went out to meet herself. The ,
two fell into each other’s arms, and
there and then, in the presence of spec
tators, they coalesced and became one
—one ordinary woman, dressed, how
ever, In two complete suits of clothes,”
—Theosophical Review.
Weighing Touch.
A remarkable instrument is that used
for tho purpose of measuring the sense
of touch. This device consists of a
serios of little disks, each three milli
meters in diameter, suspended by tine,
delicate thread from wooden handles,
the last being stuck into holes round
a block. The lightest disk is taken
out and brought into contact with the
skin of the subject, ho having his eyes
closed. If nothing is felt a heavier :
disk Is employed, and so on until the 1
pressure becomes noticeable. The;
disks weigh from one to twenty milli
grams, and with their aid it has been
proved that the sense of touch In the
average person is conveyed by two mil
ligrams on the forehead, temple mid
buck of the forearm, live for the nose
and the chin ami fifteen for the inner I
surface of the fingers.—New York Trlb- 1
une.
The Assassins.
The Assassins were a religious mid
military order who came into exist
ence during the eleventh century in
Persia and who devoted themselves to
the destruction after stealthy approach
of all who opposed the Moslem faith
In any way. The crusaders met with
a branch of these desperate zealots in
Syria, and many of the warriors of the
cross were slain relentlessly and with
mysterious suddenness in consequence.
The Tartars exterminated the I’ersian
Assassins In 1256. and fourteen years
later the Syrian band of murderers
was wiped out by an Egyptian ruler.
But the name they bore remains ns a
designation of drend.
Herbert Spencer’s Regret.
Mr. Tollemaehe iu his reminiscences
tells this story about Herbert Spencer:
“Toward the close of his life Spencer
frequented a boarding house, and.
chancing to meet a lady who hud often
dined within earshot of him, I asked
her if she could remember any wise
sayings of his. After pondering for
some time she answered; ‘I can re
member one of his remarks. He said
that "making good melted butter is a
tost art In England.” ’ ”
The Eccentrics.
“I understand the Neweds are hav
ing trouble,” remarked the spinster
boarder. "Some people take her part,
and some others side with him."
"And I suppose,” growled the scanty
haired bachelor at the pedal extremity
of the mahogany, “there are a few ec
centric people who mtud their own
business.’’—Chicago News.
Unconcerned.
An Incident illustrating the placidity,
if so it may be called, of the Duke of
Wellington has reference to a naval
officer, a near connection of the duke.
The ship which this officer command
ed was lost, and he himself was drown
ed. When the news wns communicated
to the duke, be merely exclaimed,
“That’s the second ship he has lest!”
Suiting His Theory.
“When I hear of a new theory,” said
a scientist. “I am reminded of the two
geologists. At a certain summer re
sort one brilliant afternoon the young
er geologist from his bedroom window
saw the older man rolling a great rock
down the side of a mountain.
“He watched the work for nearly
tbree hours. Tbe old geologist, thin
and little and white whiskered, hud it
hard time of it to guide that rock al
most as big as himself. But he per
severed. He got the rock down where
he wanted It just as the dinner bell
rang.
"The younger man said to him won
derlubly rt dinner:
“'What were you doing with that
rock this afternoon, professor?
“ ‘Why,’ the professor answered, ‘the
fact is the thing was 600 feet too high
to suit my theory.’ ”
