The townspeople wanted to rcbuild | thetr parish church, and a committe | was appointed to raise funds. It was | agreed that the Quaker could not be asked to subscribe toward an object so contrary to his principles; but then, on the other hand, so true a friend to the town might take it amiss if he ‘was not at least consulted on a mat- ter of such general interest. So one of their number went and explained to him thelr project; the old church was to be removed and such and such steps taken toward the constryction of a new oue. | “Thee wast right,” the Quaker said, "% TRAVELING STORES. Portable Shops on Wheel Curious Feature’ of Cuban L. Among the many luteresting things {0 attract the attention of the tourist in Cuba are the traveling stores, con- sisting of all.sorts of queer vehicles which traverse the city and rural dis- tricts. These portable shops are counstructed in an ingenious wanner so as to dis- play thelr wares to the best advantage. Every article used in a household and wearlng apparel of all kinds are on sale, and the owner of the wagon, which resembles a department store, boasts that he can supply dry goods and notions of all kinds, from a paper of needles to a ready made gown. The sides of a shop on wheels are made of glass and so arranged as to give them the appearance of a shop window, Perfumery 1s one of the leading ar ticles sold in this way. for. however poor the natives may be, they always have money enough to purchase co- lognes and generally the most _expen- sive varieties. During carnival season a plentiful supply of masks, caps and grotesque suits is added to the stock. Men with pushearts laden with liuens and laces or cooking utensils go about the streets of Havana, offering their goods to the women who cautiously peer out from behind barred windows. These carts bave the appearance of a street organ and are pusbed awong the splendid smooth avenues of the city with ease. Often men will carry thelr stock, dis- { playing it on.a poje to which cross wise sticks bave beeu fastened..like the old fashjoned clotheshorse. Toys also form a part of the stack of these human delivery wagons. — Leslie's Weekly. SPEED IN BASEBALL. What an Infield Double Play Means In Time and Action. In an article on baseball in Every- body’s Magazine the writer shows the wonderful speed that is used in making some of the plays. He says: Making first base, though more dra- matic to watch, is an uneventful ex- pedition compared with the trip to sec- ond. It takes a fast man to negotiate the journey in 3 3-5 seconds. No thrown ball goes over 300 feet, and if a batted “in supposing that my principles would not allow me to assist in build ing a church. But didst thee not say something about pulling down a [ church? Thee may'st put my n\me, down for a hundred pounds.”—Merl | vale’s “Historical Studles.” ’ ea———— Old Leather Bottles. Leather bottles, or blackjacks, were common in Europe two centuries ago. The bottles were often made of one skin doubled up and closely stitched together, leaving an aperture for the mneck. The thick plece between was ! ingerted for the slip. It was meant to be slung at the back, a leatker thong q through two loops placed or side of the neck, and it was suf flat at the base to stand wher | n. The stopper was niade of | lorn or old Ieather. A good care was required in the prep- 1 of the leather, which had to be - and worked with hammers to wake it supple and then washed with a lye so that all the impurity was en- tirely removed, leaving the. leather clean and dry. No molsture or air had any effect on it. Blackjacks were, in fact, flagons made in various sizes. They were sometimes pitched inside. A Hair Trigger Constitution. a hair trigger constitution, says Orison Swett Marden in Success Magazine. They go off on the slightest provoca- tion, because they act from impulse. They do not kmow how to control themselves. The animal fnstinct dom Inates. Self control is the first condition of all achievement. It is said that the first sign of insanity is the loss of selr control. When a person is no longer the master of his own acts he is not only in danger, but any degree of achievement is impossible to him. Every thought tends to result in an act, so that thought always leads. The mental attitude at any moment is the pattern which the life processes weave. The lives of many of us are grotesque crazy quilts. A Connoisseur. A great painter was asked by his lit- tle son, “Father, what is a connois- seur?" “Well, my son,” the father answered, “did you notice that tall, white balred gentleman at my ‘studio tea yester- day?" “The one with the sable lined over- coat, father? Ob, yes, I noticed him.” “Well, my son, he is a connoisseur.” “But how do you know he’s a con- noisseur, father?” “By hls actions, my son.” “But, father, he acted like every one else at the tea, didn’t he?" “Certainly not, my son! Certainly unot! The others drank my Russian tea, ate my fole gras sandwiches and took leave. But he—he bought a pic- ture!” A Biting Retort. Lady Wortley Montagu, one of Eng- land’s most brilliant women, incurred Pope’s undying hatred in the following manner: The poet, who was deformed and very dark and addicted to ques- tioning everybody, once asked her to define an interrogation mark. She de- fined it as “a little, crooked black thing that asks questions.” Particular Woman. Judge—She insisted on having a wo- man lawyer secu: @ her divorce. “Why was she so particular?” “She did not want to go contrary to that portion of the marriage ceremony that reads, ‘Let no man put asun- der.’ "—New York Herald.

While you are watching the | outfielder scamper after the ball the relay line Is being swiftly formed in the infield. There could be no such quick and accurate flelding of deep | outfield hits if the outfielder taking the | ball did not know that behind him was ranged his line of relays ready to take the ball the instant he could turn and throw it. The relay line in a profes- sional team forms almost automatical {y.

It's a close call and a case of utilizing the fractlon of a second, but with sharp flelding the margin is all on the side of the fielders. The double play is the menace ever threatening the runner on Arst. Where the Fruit Grows. A politician -in San Francisco who has been in office and on the city pay roll for many years was addressing a meeting of his fellow citizens. It was & labor meeting. “You men must know,” spouted the orator, “that you are the great body politic in this elty. You are the roots and trunk of our great municipal tree. while we who represent you in office are merely branches on that magnifi- cent tree.” “True for you,” piped & man in the back of the hall. “But did ye ever notice all the fruit grows on the branches.”—Saturday Evening Post. As Far as He Got. One day when Willlam M. Evarts, secretary of state under President Hayes, was a college student he was called on to read Vergil in class. He started out bravely: “Three times I strove to cast my arms around her neck, and —and” —adding lamely - “that’s as far as 1 got, professor.” “Well, Mr. Evarts,” sald the profes- sor, “I think that was quite far enough.” Too Good to Lose. “Will you be my wife?” asked the star boarder. % “Let me see,” mused the landlady. “You have boarded with me four years You bave never grumbled at the food 4 You have always paid promptly. No; I can’t accept you. You are too good a boarder to be put on the free list.”— London Telegraph.

It 18 no uncommon thing to see a male ostrich strutting about followed by three or four distinst broods, all of different sizes. When the incubating process is completed the cock bird leads his young ones off and if he meets apother proud papa engages in a terrific combyt with him. The van quished bird retires without a single chick, while the other, surrounded by the two broods, walks away trium phantly. Tennyson’s Care Tennyson, like Thackeray, seems to have been careless about his manu- seripts. Some weeks after leaving his lodgings In Mornington place, Hamp- stead, he wrote to Coveniry Patmore from the Isle of Wight telling him that he could not find a “book of elegies— a long, butcher ledger-like book,” and that he had same obscure remembrance of lending it ta Patmore. “If so,” he concluded, “all is well; if not, will you g0 to my old chambers and institute a vigorous inquiyy?* DPatmore, not hav- ing the book, went to Mornington Place, but was assured by the landlady that no such article had been left there. He Insisted, however, on going to his friend's old rooms, “up two pair of { stalrs,” to search, and there in a small cupboard where Tennyson had kept bread and tea and butter he found the lost**book of elegies"—the manusecript of “In Memoriam.”—London Spectator. - Car s, as Usual.. The great baseball player's wife had never seen a gume, but he finally per.- suaded her to view one In which he was to play. He was doing his Dbest, of course One strike had been called on him, and, as usual In baseball anecdotes, two men were out and the bases were full. Our lhero was gathering his strength for the swat he was going to give the ball. And the b1l came. He knew it wae his- 2s the ball started, and with a mighty crack he lifted it Into space. Dropping his bat, he sped for first, and ere the roar of applause burst out a slight woman in the grand stand rose and called: “Will, come back here and put that bat where it belongs!"—Buffalo . Ex vress. Bank Checks In Austria. Banks of Austria are exempt from liability for payment of checks and bills of exchange to parties who may have acquired unlawful possession of the same and forged the indorsements thereon. The banks are not compelled to identify the bearer, and instances occur of such commercial papers being stolen and cashed with forged indorse- ment, leaving the owner without re- dress. A check or hill of exchange. therefore, though payable to order and not indorsed is a dangerous form for the remittance of money. Liability for payment on a forged indorsement is | incurred by a bank only when it is pre- sumed to bave knowledge of the payee's signature, as in the case of | well known cifents.

'“I keep iy jewels fn a #habby old trunk In my own room. ‘There isn't even n lock on it. 1 had to force it off onc time when I'd mis: -1aid the key.” “Evidently ‘you don't encourage cn- terprise In burglars,” observed one of her hearers. “All a man would have to do would be to raise the lid. You might at ieast make him a little trouble.” “He'd have trouble enough,” sald the Wwoman, mysterlously. ‘“Our coach- tan’s brother Is an old sailor—a per- fect artist In knots—aund he showed me how to bind up the trunk in the most complicated way, and no burglar could possibly untie it. He wouldn't knaw the combination.” The only man in the group grinned. “Of course,” he murmured reflec- tively,- “no mere second story man would ever dream of cutting those knots."—Youth's Companion. Saved. A lazy negro who let his wife take in ‘washing without demur had a dream one night and a policy dream at- that. He borrowed money from her to play the combination, and before he left home he stated his conviction. “Mandy,” he said, “Ah’s goin’ up- town to play. dis combime, what am 8ho’ to come out. When you see me comin' home in a hack you break up ¥0' wash tubs.” The ‘“combine” didn’t come out, and Bam, in great dejection, acquired a lot ot gin. Then he was messed up a bit by n dray, and some other negroes hired a hack to take him home. Sam was nearly. out and was breathing heavily when the hack turned a famil- {1ar corner, and his wife was standing In the door. With his last ounce of energy he stuck his head out of the window and yelled: “Mandy, spare dem tubs!"—Chicago Post. In what are called rages” distant objects show an appar- ent extravagant increase in height without alteration of breadth. Distant pinnacles of ice are thus magnified Into immense towers or tall, jagged from far out at sea may appear to be twelve or fifteen times as tall as it is long. Racks and trees are also shown in- abnormal shapes and positions, while houses, animal and human be- ings appear in like exaggerated shapes. Before the sandy 'plains of our south- western states and territories were converted into verdant fields by the ingenuity and tireless energy of man mirages were very common in those regions, the Indians regarding the phe- nomenon -as belng the work of evil spirits. - The Horse’s Pedometers, The whorls of hair on the coats of horses and other animals are natural pedometers, inasmuch as they register tlhie locomotive activities of the ani- mals on whose' bodies they are found. The best examples and the greatest number of these bairy whorls and crests are found on the domestic horse. A notable instance is the grace- ful feathering that extends along the hollow of the flank, dividing the trunk of the animal from the hind quarters. There are also crests and whorls on the horse’s chest and other parts of its body. A study of the action of the un- derlying muscles explains the origin of these peculiarities in the lay bf the hair and furnishes the justification for calling them pedometers, although the analogy is, of course, merely superfl- clal.—St. Louis Republic. Pittsburgh In 1784, When General Forbus captired Fort Duquesne in 1758 he renamed it Pitts- burgh in honor of the great English inspirer of victory. Later it dropped the “h” and became Pittsburg, only finally to tack the “h” on - officially and revert to the original spelling. In 1784 Arthur Lee described the place in -language which seems strange to those who know “the Smoky City” of today: “Pittsburgh Is inhabited almost entirely by Scots and Irish,~who live in paltry log houses. - There are in the town four attorneys, two doctors and not a priest of any persnasion, nor church or chapel, so that they are likely to be damned without the bene- fit of clergy. The place, 1 belleve, will never be very considerable.” Chesping. In parts of Switzerland the bakers ‘wife carries round the bread in a sort of hamper. and she has not a fixed, im- mautable charge, but chaffers for a price j with the customers. -The old English word for this process was “cheaping,” ‘which In many places in England has been corrupted into chipping. Chip- ping Norton, for instance, 18 really Cheaping Norton, or the place where goods were cheapened—tliat is, sold by chaffer.

The base may be potash (or. #0da), together with alumina and lime, or lead may take the place of lime. Lime makes a bard glass and one less susceptible to aclds and suited to win- dows-and chemical purposes; lead a softer, more fusible and more lustrous article, suitable for optical instruments, All'aclds act to some extent on glass, especially if the latter has an excess of alkali in it. Even- wine may cor- rode the bottles wherein it is contain- ed. The molsture of the air often dis- golves out the alkali, causing the rain- bow-like colors (iridescence) of some ‘windowpanes. The Telephone Voice. The voice heard over the telephone is a mechanical reproduction of ‘the original ‘voice and differs from that of a speaking tube or megaphone, where the sound waves produced by the speaker at one end are transmitteq directly to the other end. In the tele- phone the diaphragm of the transmit- ter is caused to vibrate by the sound waves produced by some one talking Into the transmitter mouthpiece. This diaphragm is connected with a small receptacle having a flexible front and partially filled with granular carbon. This_carbon offers resistance to elec- tric current in proportion fo the me chanical pressure brought wupon it The dMaphragm, therefore, in vibrat ing produces a varylng pressure against the carbon. The carbon is included in an electric circuit, so that the varlations in its resistance will vary the current.strength in the cir cult. Legend of the “Mouth of Truth.” In front of the old basllica of Santa Maria In Cosmedin, at Rome, there is an enormous block of marble, resem- bling a huge face with a widely gaping mouth. It is called the Bocca della Verita, or “mouth of truth,” and in the days of ancient Rome the legend ran that if any one who had-told'a e placed his or her hand within that yawning cavity the jaw would descend and cut it off. The Bocca della Verita 1s a large round stone of white marhle ebout five yards in circumférence, It Is plerced with two holes representing eyes, an opening for a mouth, a slight- 1y raised nose, and two locks ‘of -hair are carved on each side of the fore- head. The stone is of great antiquity, and, according to some, it was laid on the altar of Jove, and those suspected of perjury were led to it and obliged to confess by much the same threats as are used to children now. It is most likely, however, that the stone served as a sluice to some ancient sewer, for others like it, used for this purpose by the Romans, bave been found.—Wide World Magazine. Kindness to Animals. Far out on the very edge of town is a little schoolhouse, the first and sec- ond grades of which are commanded by a pretty-little normal school gradu- ate. Her pupils are all sons and daughters of the warmer sort of im- pulsive foreigners and have all reach- ed a state of adoration for their queen end vie with each other in ways to please her. One day she had dwelt jespecially upon loving and caring for dumb animals. The next day little Pletro remained in his seat when his schoolmates dropped out to play. Teacher was busy at her desk and did not notice him until she felt a little fist tugging at her sleeve. “Why, Pietro,” she exclaimed, “what is the trouble?” . “Nothin’, teacher. ' T just wanted to tell you how I was good to dumb ani- mals yesterday,” he promptly replied. “Why, isn’t that nice? Pietro, just what did you do?”’ Pletro drew himself up to his full three feet and proudly asserted: “I kissed the cat”’—San Francisco Chronicle. Inertia of Bo Lay a visiting card on the tip of the left forefinger and on it place a penny. A quick flick ‘of the card with the right second finger will remove the card ‘without disturbing the coin. Another trick which illustrates the Inertia of bodies is to knock away the bottom of a plle of draftsmen without upset- ting the pile. This fs- effected quite easily with the help of a flat ruler. ‘The remaining draftsmen are removed successively by a number of smart blows. A more spectacular -and apparently risky trick consists of drawing a news. paper away from under a glass filled with water. Provided, however, that the table is smooth and the paper be pulled away smartly and horizontally there 18 no danger of the water being spilled. A certain well known conjurer is able to remove the tablecloth from under knives, glasses, plates, etc., as laid for a meal without disarranging them or doing any damage. For Charity. A millionaire who was looking over hlsmwlfe’s cash account the other day said:: “I'notice here, my dear, an item of $500. for charity.
