The woman sociologist who says the American home is passing has probably been reading forclosure sale notices. The Republican paper in Speaker Cannon’s Home, the Dauville Com- mercial News, where there has been sensational revelations of corruption at the polls, says that those political sinners who have been hoping that the clouds would roll by without their being struck by lighting, need not be sure yet that they will escape investigation for bribery. His Text and His Talk. Bishop X. had officiated in the col- lege chapel, and. though his discours2 Wwas most excellent in itself, it had no obvious connection with the text. At dinner Professor Y. was asked his opinion of the bishop’s sermon. *Dear old man!” he exclaimed. “It was truly .apostolic. He took a text and then w«:nt everywhere preaching the gos- pel” The Amen of Nature. Do you ever wonder why poets talk 8o much about flowers? Did you ever hear of a poet who did not talk about them? Don’t you think a poem which, for the sake of being original, should leave them out would be like those verses where the letter a or e or some other is omitted? No; they will bloom over and over again in poems as in the summer fields, to the end of time, always old and always new. Why should we be more shy of repeating ourselves than the spring be tired of blossoms or the night of stars? Look at pature. She never wearies of say- ing over her floral paternoster. In the crevices of cyclopean walls, in the dust ‘where men lie, dust also; on the mounds that bury huge cities, the Birs Nemroud and the Babel heap, still that same sweet prayer and benediction. The amen of nature is always a flow- er.—Oliver Wendell Holmes. A Woman's Mind. Sillicus—A woman never seems able to make up her mind. Cynicus—Why should she? She would only change it again.—Philadelphia Record. ‘Who bravely dares must sometimes. | Women' on Warshipé. In the British navy of Nelson’ It was not uncommon for wives aboard | men-o'-war with thelr sailor husbands. Scarce one of Englnnd' “walls of oak” in Nelson's fime but had some woman aboard who braved the perlls and hardships of the-Sea in order to be with her husbénd. -In nearly every one of the twenty-sevea line of battleships ~under Nelson's command in the great battle of Traf- algar was one or more women, Wives of sailors. Surprise may be expressed that English men-of-war’s ‘men were permitted to have their wives aboard. It was only by special permission of the admiralty that this could be done— and ‘then permission. was granted somewhat in the light of a penance for sanctioning the press gang system, which was largely in vogue at that time. Men were seized in the streets and other public places and compelled to serve in British warships because “the king needed men.” Some of the men thus seized had political influence and, being unjustly compelled to serve in the navy, were permitted to have their wives share their involuntary servitude. A Mean Advantage. In a breach of promise case the bar- rister who held the brief for injured beauty arranged that his fair client should be so placed that her charms should be well under the observation of the jury. He began a most pathetic appeal by directing their attention to her beauty and calling for justice upon the head of him who could wound the heart and betray the confidence of one so fair, concluding with a peroration of such pathos as to melt the court to tears. The counsel fendant then rose, and after paying the lady the cownpliment of admitfing that it was impossible not to assent to the encomiums lavished upon her face he added that nevertheless he felt bound to ask the jury not to'for- get that she wore a wooden leg, Then he sat down. The important fact of which the fair plaintiff’s counsel was unaware was presently established, and the jury, feeling rather sheepish at their tears, assessed damages at |} the smallest amount. The American Baby. The American baby has a fine, strong ancestry. The young men of England who were impatient of reli- gious restraint and of physical oppres- gion; the young men of Germany touched with the dream of democracy; the pick of mnorthern FEurope, the strong, the fair, the self reliant, the conscientious English at bottom, but with a dash of the best blood of other races—this is the American baby, and no king and no lord ever had a better heritage. Take it as it goes, in Mas- gachusetts, in Ohio, in Michigan, In ‘Washington, in California, the average American baby has in its veins more of the blood of the Plantagenets than any king now living has. It was his fortune to have come from the daugh- ter lines and the lines of the younger sons, not from the elder son, whom British custom has marked for the aristocrat.—David Starr Jordan. The Young Man's Tact. The man who was having his pie- ture taken in the photograph gallery was an innocent listener to the conver- sation between two young ladies on the other side of the screen: “You know, Kate, I sometimes wear a long curl hanging down the back of my neck?” “Yes.” “Well, when Phil was calling on me the other evening he asked me if he might have that curl, and I jokingly said yes. Before I knew what he was about he had taken a little pair of scissors out of his pocket and clipped it off close to my head.” “Why, the idea! Didn’t that make you furious?” “Not for the smallest fraction of a second. I thought it was splendid of him that he didn’t seize and pull it of.” Not His Fault. A doctor was summoned to attend the miller’s little boy. He wrote out a prescription, which was promptly made up and administered in due form. The next day he called again to see his patient and found the whole family in tears. “Alas,” said the mother, “I shouldn’t have thought that my poor child would have died of the measles!” “What!” exclaimed the doctor. “He had the measles, and you never told me?"—Paris Journal. The Soft Answer, Irritated Frenchman (to Yankee, who had taken him for a waiter)— Sir-r, you have gr-r-rossly insulted me. There is my card. My seconds vill vait upon you, sir-r. Yankee—Never mind your seconds, Frenchy. You can wait upon me jlls{ as well. Pass me the sauce, and be quick about it. Shopping by Mail. Not long ago in a little town In one of the prohibition states a young man entered the postoffice and asked the postmaster for a postoffice order. “For how much?” asked the post» master. “Two gallons,” was the prompt re- ply.—National Monthly. A Real Surpi Mamma—And you say your Uncle Titewad gave you a penny, Tommie! Tommie—Yes, ma’am. Mamma—And what did you say? Tommie—I was so surprised 1 couldn’t say anything. mamma.—Yonkers Statesman, Life, that ever needs forgiveness, has, for its first duty, to forgive.—Bul- wer Lytton. PRIDE.

LIFE N IGELAND. Farmhouses A & ot Turt and | Often Have Earthen Floors. The guest room in the Iceland farm- houge contained a parrow bed, 3 big: table and an orfin made in tleboro, , Vt. our host produond the usual box of snuff and with it a box of good cigars. The host and hostess then showed us all over the house. It is a turf structure and is typical of-the older farmhonses, with narrow. dark, win- dowless ' corridors winding in laby- rinthian maze from room to room, One passageway leads to 4 large open mound where a fire is made to smoke. meat and fish and incidentally the other passage leads to another kitchen. with a modern stove. The. walls are all of turf, as is the roof, with just enough driftwood in the roof to make a framework to hold it in place. Very steep stairs lead up to the badstqfa, or sleeping apartment. The badstofa frequently forms the sitting and com- mon workroom of the family, espe- clally in winter, as well as the sleeping room of the entire household. Bunks built into the wall extend around the room and are often filled with seaweed or feathers, over which is thrown a-fold or two of wadmal coverlet of eiderdown. ‘The floors are sometimes covered with boards, but more often consist of damp earth. From the ceiling are suspended numerous articles of domestic econ- omy, while large chests containing clothing and valuables are scattered throughout the house.—Springfield Re- publican. STORY OF A LOAN. A Case Where the Statute of Limita- tions Was Not Considered. A well known Kansas banker told a story the other day about the statute of limitations. There is a simile in it, plus some good philosophy. One day an old southerner walked into this banker’s office. The south- erner was a typical gentleman of the old " school, suave, courteous to the point of punctiliousness and honorable i to a degree of martyrdom. “What can 1 do for you?” asked the banker. “Well,” replied the southerner, “about thirty-five years ago I loaned a man down south some money—not a very big sum. I told him that when- ever 1 should need it I would let him know and he could pay me the money. 1 need some money now, so I shall let him know. and 1 would like to have you transact the business for me.” “My good friend,” replied the bapk- er, “you have no claim on that money You can’t hold that man to that lean. You say it has been thirty-five years since Fou loaned it to him? The statute of limitations bas run against that loan years and years ago.” “Sir,” replied the southerner, “the man to whomn I loaned that money is a gentleman. The statute of limita- tlons never runs against a gentleman."” So the banker sent for the money, and within a reasonable time there- after the money came. There was a courtly gentleman at the other end of the transaction also. — Kansas City i Journal. Trees and Wind. The effect of wind upon trees is powerful. Even the presence or ab sence of fo wmay be determined by the character of the .prevailing wind or the conditions that modify it. The wind acts as a drying agent, giv- ing a special aspect to many plants. When it is almost’ always from the same quarter the plants show greater development upon oue side. Trees are smaller on the windward edges of for- ests, and trunks and branches are bent to leeward. The deformations are most marked near the sea or in flat regions. The cherry, plum, wal- out, black poplar, ash and certain pines are very sensitive to the wind, but mountain pines and certain frs offer great powers of resistance, and these are recommended for reforesting wind swept lands. His Way of Getting Even. “You know that fellow, Jim McGro- arty, the lad that’s always comin’ up an’ thumpin' ye on th’ chest and yellin® ‘How aer ye? " “1 know him.” “I'll bet he’s smashed twinty cigars for me—some o' thim clear Havannys— but I'll get even with him now.” “How will ye do it?" “I'll tell ye. Jim always hits me over the vest pocket where I carry me cigars. He'll hit me there just once more. There's no cigar {n me vest pocket this mornin'. TInstead of it there’s a stick of - dynamite, 'd'ye mind!"—Cleyeland Plain Dealer. A Matter of Busi “I cannot understand, sir, why you permti your daughter to sue me for breach of promise. You remember that you were bitterly oppesed to our engagement because I wasn’t good enough for her and would disgrace the family.” “Young man, this 1s business.” that was sentiment; Afflictions. Before an affliction is digested con- solation comes too-soom, and after it is digested it comes too late, but there 1s 2 mark between these two as fine almost as a hair for a comforter to take aim at.—Sterne. 3 Dear' Talk. “Talk s cheap,” quoted the wise guy. 1 “Not always,” replied the simple “Sometimes /it costs a man his reputation.”Philadelphia Record: The average person wastes lots of time telling other people things they" do. not care to hear.

It is rather a clever notion in a re- cent story to make two Americans communicate with each other by means of slang in a Central American republic at a time when all telegramg are carefully inspected. If they used Spanish, that, of course, would be im- mediately understood. If they used ‘English the ‘officials. would find some one to translate it. As they had no cipher code prepared in advance, they could not resort to it. Consequently. the first American telegraphs to the other American in “the great and po- tent code of slang’ Here is a tele- gram which slipped through the fin- gers of the curious Central American officials: “His nibs skedaddled yesterday per Jack rabbit line with all the coin in the Kitty and the bundle of muslin he’s spoony about.
