Of all the superb victuals which, by their great variety and unique colloca- tion, make Maryland the Eden -and Arcadia of every man who loves good eating, ‘the planked shad is probably the most powerful and poignant in its appeal to the senses, The wild duck, though‘it sets the palate to vibrating like an aeolian barp, has uo thrill for the eye. It is a smull and unlovely bird of a ‘dull color and ungraceful outline. So, too, the diaumond back terrapin. It bas no wmore beauty in death than a plate of soup. And cer- tain other exquisite delicatessen, for all their sweetness, do pot soothe the sense of smell. Of such are the raw oyster, the boiled hard crab and the Magothy river cabbage. But the planked shad—ah, here we come to a delicacy which enchants us alike through the eyes. the palate and the nose! As it comes upon the table it has the imperial dignity of a Charle- magne. its noble head woves one to reverence: the epicycloid curve of its tail is like the curl of a great comber upon a ceral beach. And it radiates a perfume as of Araby.—Baltimore Sun. Water Under Deserts. Some of the most curious phenomena of the world are the underground wa- ter supplies beneath deserts. In the Rajputana deserts water is held In vast quantities in sandstone beds un- -der the scorched surface and is drawn up from wells sunk into the strata. Bikaner raises its walls in the midst of a weary, almost rainless waste of sand and depends on these hidden cis- terns for its very existence. Whence it comes, where is the outfall and what quantity runs under the baked sand remain a mystery. In one well at Bikaner it has been ascertained that the water supply is equal to 20,000 gal- lons an hour, which is held to point to the conclusion that'there is an enor- mous subterranean flow and that the snow fed rivers of the Himalayas must be the source. People in Bikaner say that pieces of wood dropped into one well have come up in another. The idea of an underground river opens up a wide range of possibilities to the im- agination.—Times ot ladia. Dashing Into Danger. “When 1| was younger,” a big Broad- way traffic cop remarked, “1 used to cuss at everybody who insisted on dashing across the street in front of a car or truck. 1 cuss the act stll, but not the person. Fact is, I've learned that a wajority of :people just can’t help it. An approaching vehicle about to cross their path is like a red rag to a bull. It’s a sort of challenge, a dare. And the impulse to -defeat its purpose can’t be controlled. There isn’t any plan of action. {it's a case of dash first and think afterward. and some- times, of course, the thinking is doue in a hospital. q “It’s a sort of disease of the nerves, I guess, because the head of a busi- ness house will do this-fool thing just as quick as' his errand boy will. But the cop and the driver are to blame whenever there’s a miscalculation.”— New York Globe. Fenced In. Near Harvard square, in’Cambridge, stands the old elm under which Wash- ington first took command of the American army. Around this tree is an iron picket fence inclosure perhaps a couple of rods across. One night a mab who had imbibed too freely stum- bled against this circular fence. Grasp- ing one picket after another, he groped his way painfully round and round the outside of the inclosure about a dozen times. Finally be sank down in utter despair. “Oh, ain't it awful—fenced in and no gate to get out of it!" said he as a party of students rescued him and took him home.—National Monthly. A Memory of Edwin Booth. My season with Edwin Booth was delightful. 1 found bim one of the kindest and pleasantest men of the profession. He also possessed what consider a great quality—simplicity of manner. Some stars have the idea that it is necessary to be haughty and inaccessible with the members of their companies. They put on airs. They like to crush their fellow actors and pose as a kind of divinity before them. —From Mme. Modjeska’s “Memoirs” in Century. A Story of Robespierre. The story is told of Robespierre that at one time when at the height of his power a lady called upon him, be- seeching him to spare her husband’s life. He scornfully refnsed. As she turned away she happened to tread upon the paw of his pet dog. He turned upon her and asked, “Madam, have you no humanity?’ On the Safe Side. “May 1 see my father's record?" asked the new student. “He was in the class of '77." “Certainly, my boy. What for?” “He told me when I left home not to disgrace him, sir, and 1 wish to see just how far I can go.”—Buffalo Ex- press. The Advantage. - Tenant—Look here, that house I took from you is extremely damp. House Agent (bluntly)-Well. don’t you see the great advantage of that? If it gets on fire it won’t burn. Right and Wrong. Things should not be done by halves. If it is right. do it boldly: if it is wrong, leave it undone. Every day is a little life, and our whole life is but a day repeated. A really great man is known by three signs—generosity s the design, bu- manity iu the execution and modera- tion In success.— Bismarck. ,and she wants a cotlin from you.” e e S Rt M SR A e MM TN 5 Dying to Order. Dying to order is one of the most |- sacred customs of the American In- dian. Many years ago Standing Bik went to Major James McLaughlin, the author of “My Friend the Indian,” and said, “Father, my wife will die today, The major asked him what the ail ment was, and he replied: “Just nothing but that she heard the ghosts calling and must go.” Somebody bad told her, it turned out, that she was sick, so she had “painted for death,” and all her rela- tives had gathered about to bemoan her—and incidentally divide her prop-- erty as soon as she was dead. There was no use in the major's arguing about it, so he.had the coffin made. In many cases those “painted for death” are actually bullied into dying, but Mrs. Standing Elk was still too vigorous. Finally in despair she car- ried the coffin into the house on her own shoulders, and several years later the major saw it still standing on end in her house. Shelves had been fitted into it, and it was doing duty as a cup- board.—Pittsburg Clironicle-Telegraph. Improving Americans. “Nothing is fixed but the certainty of change.” said Goethe, and we know that the future American will repre- sent a change. He may be taller or shorter or thinner or fatter than the American of today, but there is noth- ing in the existing state of soclety— and we use soclety in its broad sense— to indicate that he will not be better in many ways. Confidence in this is based largely on the evident determi- nation of the American of today to leave our institutions and our ideals better than he found them. Hvery American, native or foreign born. wants his children to have a better ed- ucation than it was possible for him to secure. He wants to have his chil- dren live in a community of higher standards and ideals than he has; he wants betterment in local, state and national conditions, and the result of the want will be improvement and a demand by his children for still great-} er improvement.—St. Paul Pioneer-] Press. 1 We are Exhibiting SANTA CLAUS WINDOW.

Phone 57 to Give Perfect * An Economical Man. A commercial traveler told of a man who was riding on a train and pretend-: ed to become ill after eating a sand- wich. The man opened his grip and took out a hot water bag. “He got 8 sympathetic porter,” the commercial man continues, “to fill the water bag with boiling water, and then he opened up his lunch basket, took out a piece of fried steak and warmed it up on the water bag. You talk about your light ‘housekeeping! Then after he had warmed the steak he cut it all up with a pair of scissors and fed it to himself with a pair of sugar tongs, because he would not take a chance with a fork going around a curve. But his finish was a limit. After he had eaten the steak he unscrewed the stopper of. the water bag and poured himself out a cup of hot coffee. He had the grounds in the bag all the time.” N In a Quandary. ! The young lady sighed deeply and was almost affected to tears. “Harold,” she.said, “declares that if I don’t marry him he-will end his life. And I am afraid he will.” . She stified a sob, then continued: “And ‘Randolph declares that if 1 don’t marry ‘him he:will go-into pold- ties and become great and famous, and then- he says I shall see what I have missed. And I am afraid he will keep his .word too.” : Overcome by emotion. she buried her face in her hands. not knowing wheth- er to save a life or to spare the coug- || try another politician.—Exchange. An Amendment. 1 “Are you ready to live on my im- come?” he asked softly. ] She looked up into his face trust- ingly. “Certainly. dearest,” she answered, if—if— “If what?” “If you get another one for your- self.”—New York Journal. The Dreaded Doctor. “How did you like your dinner?” in- quired the epicure. “Well,” answered the dyspeptic, *it was admirable in every respect. But my doctor has put me into such an apprehensive frame of mind that when- ever I really enjoy eating anything I become utterly miserable.” The Analysis. “Did you have the soil of your back yard analyzed by the agricultural de- partment?”’ “Yes. They said It consisted largely of glass, tin and putty, with traces of builder’s lime, and suggested that it might do to raise a mortgage on.”— Louisville Courier-Journal.

Especially In the Subways. “There ain’t but one trouble with this here city air,” said Uncle Rufe, sniffing the atmosphere speculatively “it do need ventilatin.’” — Holland’s Magazine, His Reason. “Why do you always leave 'the house, James. when I begin to sing the old songs?' pouted Mrs. Howlit. “Fresh air,” said Howlit.—Harper's Weekly. He who bas the truth in his heart need never fear the want of persua: sion on his tongue.—Ruskin, s The Tibetan penal code is curious. ‘Murder is punished with a fine vary- 4ng according to the importance of the slain, theft by a fine of seven to one ‘bundred times the value of the article stolen. Here, again, the fine depends on the social importance of the person from whom the theft has been commit- ted. The harborer of a thief is looked gpon as a worse criminal than the -thief himself. Ordeals by fire and by boiling water are still used as proofs ot Annocence or guilt, exactly as was the custom in Europe in the middle ages. And if the lamas never inflict .death they are adepts at torture. Tibetan Penal Code. The Greatest Bargain You ever saw.
