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 harp, has no thrill for the eye. It is a small and unlovely bird of a dull color and ungraceful outline. So, too, the diamond back terrapin. It bas no more beauty in death than a plate of soup. And cer- tain other exquisite delicatessen, for all their sweetness, do not 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 cowmes upon the table it has the imperial dignity of a Charle- magpe. Its noble head moves 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 phtnomena 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 pleces 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 India. Dashing into Danger. “When | was younger,” a big Broad- way traffic cop remarked, “1 used to cuss at everybody who iusisted on dashing across the street in front of a car or truck. | cuss the act still, but not the person. Fact is, I've learned that a majority of people just can’t belp 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 done in a hospital. “It’s a sort of disease of the nerves, I guess, because the head of a busi- pess 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 map 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!" sald 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 him one of the kindest ‘and pleasantest men of the profession. He also possessed what 1 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 thelir 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 ber husband’s life. He scornfully refused. 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.

Things should not be done by balves. 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.

There was once in Cripple Creek an odd character named Burns. He was an odd person who always., no mat- ter what his work, wore what used to be called a “Prince Albert.”” He struck a rich vein of ore and named that the Prince Albert. Being of a generous and convivial disposition, this lucky fellow was, of course, surrounded by many self seeking friends. When he and they were in their cups some of them, with an eye to the main chance, managed to wheedle out of Burns on one pretext or another a deed of a share in his mine. With royal prodi- gality he scattered deeds about among his retainers and camp followers un- til finally something had to be done. and the case was taken into court. One of the lawyers had Burns on the stand. “Now, Mr. Burns,” said the lawyer, “will you please tell the court how you can explain your conduct? The evidence shows that you have deeded away twenty-nine twenty- fourths of your mine. What have you to say to that?’ “Well, sir.,” replied the witness, “you must remember, sir, that the Prince Albert is a very large mine.” A Cleanup. The three amateur sharpers smiled. They thought they had found an easy mark. He was well dressed and grossly inebriated. And he bore a tight roll of bills that looked like a bologna sausage. “Boys,” he thickly said, “I'm goin’ to shend thish wad of shtuff to th' gov'ment laundry an’ have it dry cleaned. It's sho fearful dirty. May- be one of you gents would kindly shee it’s addreshed to proper place?” “Why, yes,” replied the gang. “We'll take care of it.”” “Thanks,” replied the victim. “An’ now I mush ashk you to lemme have, a few clean bills for emergensish, don’t you know.” So they searched themselves and gave him a new twenty and a ten and a five. Then, taking the soiled wad. they hurried away. Two days later the three clever ones were arrested for having counterfeit money in their possession. But the guileless inebriate was seen no more.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. A Born Diplomat. 0 “Splendid!” exclaimed the old colo- nel as C company passed the saluting base. “Did you hear wot ole nasty face ses?” No. 3 of the front rank asked No. 4. “Stand fast after parade, No. 4, for talking in the ranks!” snapped a ser- geant from near by. “It wasn't me talkin’!” muttered No. 4. . “You'd better not git two on us in trouble,” advised No. 3 in a whisper. “Talking while marching past!” ech- oed the adjutant. “What on earth did you find to talk about then?”’ “As we was passing the salutin’ base,” explained No. 4, “the colonel ses, ‘Splendid!” ‘Yes,’ I ses.to meself, ‘an’ you've got the smartest officer in the British army to thank for makin’ us splendid, and that’s our adjutant.’” “Er—sergeant, send the man away and don’t bring such frivolous com- plaints before me again,” snapped the adjutant.—London Answers. The Change of a Word. “You wouldn’t think there’d be enough difference between the definite and the indefinite article to matter much, would you?”’ said a woman who writes for a living. “I made a lifelong enemy of a woman once just by writ- ing ‘the’ where I meant ‘a’ It was an account of her wedding I was doing. I said something about the ceremony be- ing performed at the home of the bride’s aunt, and then I added that there were present ‘only the few friends of the family.’ The bride nev- er got over that ‘the’ in front of few. It happened five years ago, and when my name is mentioned she still froths at the mouth.,”—Washington Post. Beaver Tales. The Indians say that if a beaver sent out from the parents’ lodge fails to find a mate he is set to repair the dam. If he fails a second time he is banished. An Arab writer has the same story. He tells us that those who buy beaver skins can distinguish between the skins of wasters and slaves. Tle lat- ter have the hair of the head rubbed off because they have to pound the wood for their masters’ food and do it with their heads. ® — A Surprised Landlord. The very young traveling salesman was registering at the village hotel, “I want a room with running water in it,” he remarked. “Runnin’ water?” cackled the land- lord. “What do you want to do, mis- ter—practice indoor trout fishin’?’— Argonaut. The Getaway Fellows. “What is this ‘wanderlust’ you read of so often as compelling people to leave home?”’ “I don’t know,” replied Mr. Cnmrox, “but, judging from my observation of people who have it, ‘wanderlust’ is German for ‘creditors.’ ”—Washington Star. His Literary Treasures. “Jomnes took me to his rooms to see a collection of rare and curiuns manu- seripts.” “What were they?” “Receipted tailors’ bills.”—Cleveland Leader. Family Jars. The beginning of many family jars comes with the wife trying to jar a little money loose from the husband.-- Atlapta Constitution. HE LED THE CHARGE. And Then the General Changed His Mind About the Colonel. The French General Gallifet was a famous cavalry leader, a good liver, a || fine soldier and a man of impetuosity, daring and bravery. It is said that Gallifet’s pluck was in great measure' owing to his extraordinary powers >f digestion, he once nndertaking and ac complishing the feat of eating a wine glass. In a biography of General Gal- lifet is the following story: “During some 'maneuvers he was watching a charge of cavalry under his ‘orders. Suddenly the Ileading squadron stopped dead. Gallifet roar- ed, ‘Send me the colonel” And the colonel galloped up. “ ‘Now, colonel, what's wrong? “‘We came upon a road at the bot- tom of an embankment which was too steep to ride down, sir.” “‘Nonsense, sir! You're not fit for your job. I will lead the charge. You 2o to the tail of the squadron.’ “Galiifet took the command, gallop- ed to the road and rolled down the embankment with his horse. Lying on his back with a sprained muscle in his leg, he shouted to his men to stop, adding: “‘Send me the colonel? “The colonel came up from the tafl of the squadron, “‘Colonel, you were right. I am a d—da fool! You may take the com- mand of your regiment again.”” "FIRST TYPEWRITER. It W:s a Clumsy Machma and Prac- tically Useless. Most persons will be surprised to learn that the typewriting machine is not, as they imagine, a distinctly mod- ern invention. So long ago as 1714 a patent was taken out in England by Henry Mill for “a machine for im- pressing letters singly and progressive- ly asin writing, whereby all writings may be engrossed in paper so exact as not to be distinguished from print.” HIs machine was, however, a clumsy one and practically useless. It was not until over a century later (1829) that anything more in this line was attempted. Then the first American typewriter, called a “typographer,” was patented by W. A. Burt. In 1823 a machine was produced in France having a separate key lever for each letter, and between the years 1840 and 1860 Sir Charles Whetstone invented several .machines which are now preserved in the South Kensing- ton museum, London. In 1873 C. L. Sholes, an American, after five or six years’ work, succeed- ed in producing a machine sufficiently perfect to warrant extensive manu- facture. He interested a firm of gun manufacturers in it, and in 1874 the first model of the modern typewriter was put upon the market. —Cincinnatl Commercial Tribune. “broken price. : cost.” Now ......
