"7 The Wrong Hors: Bridget had been in America only a few months, but she belleved in the principle of pretending to know what she ought to know. She had been en- gaged as laundry girl in a small family of well to do people. When asked if she understood all the detaily of her ork she unhesitatingly replied, “Sure do, ma’'am.” Her mistress was not quite satisfied, however, and while she was busy with her first washing looked in upon her. Bridget seemed to be doing all right, and she left without offering sugges- tlons, Next morning the ironing wag in or- der, and Bridget was hard at Tt when her mistress looked in to say, “As you get the clothes ironed, just throw them over the horse.” “All right, ma’am,” the busy laundry girl replied without stopping to raise her eyes from her work in hand. The laundry room was located in an outhouse adjoining the barn, and occa- elonally the neighing of the family horse and the merry voice of Bridget resounded throughout the house. Returning to the laundry house a couple of hours later, the lady could scarcely belleve her eyes nor restrain her mirth when she beheld the fam- ily horse, standing patiently beside Bridget, loaded down with newly ironed sheets, pillowcases, tablecloths and lace trimmed waists and skirts. ‘With an anxious look on her- honest face Bridget observed. “I'm glad you've come, ma'am, for I'll have to have another horse.” Working Too Hard. The owner of the farm had been en- Joying himself at the county fair, while his hardworking wife stayed at home to see that the farm suffered no loss In his absence. “Well, Sarah,” said the owner upon his return, “I’'m about all tired out. Is the cows in the barn?” “Yes; long since,” replied his wife, barely looking up from the task then in hand. “Is the hosses unharnessed an’ fed?” “Yes.” “Chickens locked up? “Yes.” “Wood chiopped for mornin’?” “Yes.” “Wagon heel mended an’ ready t' start in th’ mornin’?” “Yes.” “Well, then,” concluded the exhaust- ed owner, with a sigh of relief, “let me have my supper. I'm goin’ to’ turn in. Farmin’s beginnin’ t’ tell on me.”—New York Herald. The Popular Coral. The dealer held up two strings of coral. They were of equal size, but one ‘was dark and dull in hue, the other beautifully pink and translucent. “The dark one,” he said, “is worth B0 cents; the pink one is worth $500. That is what makes coral so popular. It sults all pocketbooks. All over the world it goes. These strings of rough, uncut beads are for the dead of India. They are put round the necks of the ‘bodies about to be burned in the ghats. These large and blood red beads go to Africa. They are much liked by the natives, whose dark skins they perfectly suit. Here are a lot of coral hands with fingers extended in a V— the gesture that wards off the evil eye. The coral hands are for Italy, where the belief in their efficacy is wide- spread.”—Buffalo Express. He Would Return. Marlow was three years old. Ome day his mother said to him, “Now, Marlow, you may go outdoors to play for awhile, but if I see you crossing the street to play with that naughty little boy Willle Burr again I'll give you a hard, hard spanking.” Half an hour later the mother looked out after her boy and saw him playing with Willfe Burr. She raised the win- dow and called with forced gentleness: “Marlow, come here to mel”. Marlow came, but as he @id so he turned to his companion and said: “You stay wight here, Willle. I'm doin’ in to det spanked. Il be wight back,”—Delineator. Catching Rats. The best way to catch rafs is to put any animal substance, well perfumed with ofl of rhodium, into a trap. This induces them to enter readily and even draws them from a consiflerable dis- tance, as they are extremely partial to this ofl. An ounce of ofl of rhodium will cost you 50 cents. Catnip to a cat 1s nothing like rhodium to a rat. Oil of rhodium 1is made from a species of ‘bindweed and is used in perfumery.— New York Press. ! The Wrong Shoulder. In a timber yard two workmen wers carrying a large piece of wood when the manager, who happened to come up at the time, accosted one of them. “Joe,” 'said he, “you’ve got that batten upon the wrong shoulder.” “I know that,” was the ready reply. %It should be upon yours!”—London Bcraps. “Teacher says,” exclaimed the preco- clous child, “that we live in the tem- perate zone.” “Yes,” answered Colonel Stilwell, “and if these Prohibitionists keep go- ing It'll be worse than that.”—Wash- ington Star. Worrying. | Worrylng 1s one of the greatest drawbacks to happiness. Most of it can be avoided if we only determine not to let trifies anuoy us, for the largest amount of worrying is caused by the smallest trifies. Let him who Yas bestowed a benefit be silent. Let him who received it tell of it—Seneca. i His Own The negro blood wh v it s, de- clares Ray Stannard Baker in Ameri- can Magazine, supplies an element of light heartedness which will not be ‘wholly crushed. In illustration he tells this story of a very light mulatto of Tennessee: A number of years ago it came to him suddenly one day that he was white enough to pass anywhere for white, and he acted instantly on the inspiration. He went to Memphis and bought a first class ticket on a Missis- sippl river boat to Cluclunatl. No one suspected that he was colored. He sat at the table with white people and even occupled a stateroom with a white man. At first, he said, he could hardly restrain his exultation, but after a time, although he associated with the white men, he began to be lonesome, “It grew colder and colder,” he said. In the evening he sat on the upper deck, and as he looked over the railing he could see down below the negro passengers and deck hands talking and laughing. After a time when it grew darker they began to sing the inimita- ble negro songs, & “That finished me,” he said. “I got up and went downstairs and took my place among them. I've been a negro ever since.” The Elder Robert Fulton. = Robert Fulton was born at Little Britain, Lancaster county, Pa., Nov. 14, 1765. His blographers have called him “a self made man” and have made but brief reference to his par- entage. It.ds noteworthy that his fa- ther, the senior Robert Fulton, in .a failure to leave financial patrimony. to his children has not been accorded the mention of other achievements, not slight in those primitive days. His ap- cestors crossed from Scotland to Ire- land prior to the time of Cromwell. From Kilkenny, Ireland, the Fulton family came to America before the year 1735. The senior Robert Fulton was among the prominent men of Lancaster, his name having been dn record upon all the town organizations which existed at that period. He was a founder of the Presbyterian church, the secretary of the Union Fire com- pany and a charter member of the Juliana library of Lancaster, the third library established in the American colonies.—Century. e The Fourmilion, N “In the Sahara,” saild an explorer, “there is a little insect that throws sand, and its volleys slay. They call it the fourmilion. The fourmilion digs itself a funnel shaped hole of the cir~ cumference of a silver dollar. It lies hidden and watchful in the bottom of this hole, and when a spider or ant or beetle comes cautiously prospecting down the steep and slippery sides the inhospitable fourmilion launches upon its guest volley after volley of sand—a hail of stinging sand so abundant, so suffocating, so blinding that the visitor loses his head. He rolls unconscious for the nonce to the bottom of the hole, and the fourmilion calmly dis- members him before he has time to come to himself again and puts him in the larder for the next meal.” Blooms but to Die. - The taliput palm (Corypha umbracu- lifera) of Ceylon, whose leaves are put to such numerous uses by the Cinga- lese, bears fruit but once during its life. This elegant tree measures about ten feet round the trunk and attaing & height of about 180 feet. The flowers, the appearance of which presages death to the tree, are inclosed in a tall spathe which bursts with a loud re- port, disclosing a huge plume of beau- tiful blossom. The inflorescence is sue- ceeded by equally conspicuous bunches of fruit. When these have ripened the tree withers rapidly and in the course of a fortnight may be seen prostrate and decaying on the spot it adorned. Too Much For Him. & “How true that old saying is about a child asking questions that a man cannot answer,” remarked Popleigh, “What's the trouble now?” querled his friend Singleton. “This morning” replied . Popleigh, “my little boy asked me why men were sent to congress, and I couldn’t tell him.”—Chicago News. Are You Looking for a Pudding?
