I wonder what he has been up to?” Chapter II.--“I wonder how she wants?” A Short Story. ‘ Chapter I.â€"“I think you are just the bestest, goodest husband in all the world!” An Odd Globe. , A great globe ornamented with the map of the earth carved in stone dec- orates the estate of an eccentric Eng- lishman at Swanage. It stands over- looking the sea and is visible for quite a distance. One may walk about it and study it in detail. The plain surfaces. such as the oceans, lakes and deserts, are decorated with Scriptural texts, which are supposed to apply especially to the locality they occupy. Trapped In Armor. Trying on ancient armor is not al- ways an agreeable experiment, judg- ing from the experience of a French artist. He had bought a quaint old helmet and put it on his own head to. judge the effect. Unfortunately he touched a spring, the visor shut down suddenly, and, being alone in the stu- dio, he could not free himself from the mediaeval head covering without help. At last he ran into the street. Where his appearance created considerable amusement till a charitable passerby managed to set him treeâ€"Hour Glass. “Why, let me think,” said the forget- ful man. “011, yes, I know how it hap- pened. My Wife wanted me to get her umbrella that's been mended, and she thought I'd better bring along mine to remind me, it being a pleasant day. and then I thought I’d better bring two in case I stepped in anywhere and hap« pened to forget one of them.” Hopeless Cue. The forgetful man was stepping jauntily along with a smile on his cheerful face when he was accosted by a friend. “Look here,” said the man. “Why in the world 'are you carrying two um- brellas‘:” spreads the faces in a railroad car when a woman was seen to give her poodle a drink from the "public drinb ing glass. No one else touched it dur- ing that trip, but it. is more dangerous and not less disgusting to drink after human beings than a dog. Fortunate- ly most disease germs die easily, and it is chiefly by the quite direct' means of contact just suggested that the con- tagious diseases pass from one to an- other. If we put nothing into the mouth except what belongs there, we might ride in a car with a diphtheria patient and run no chance of catching the disease. Disease germs do not fly about seeking whom they may devour. The matter of protection is largely in our own hands.~â€"-Good Housekeeping. l I remember one with a record of ' over thirty years’ consistent service, exhibiting hands twisted and gnarled with disease, who shuffles daily through his work with the help of kindly comrades, fearing each day Q be detected. Though the work itself is an agony, the one panic fear is not that he shall be compelled but that he shall be forbidden to continue. I think of others tucked away out of sight in the recesses of tenement dwellings, flung aside from the active machinery of the world, who “cannot quite bring themselves” to join the unemployed processions or solicit a promiscuous charity of the crowd, who cling to the desperate hope that one day the cloud will lighten, the miracle happen that some one will be found desiring their, services. This is in no austere and, frugal community, with difficulty sup-1 porting its children, but amid wealth pouring into its borders beyond the dreams of avarice and such luxury and vain display as can only be paralleled in the later days of Rome. 1 ' My 0! Unemployment to it. I.- Who Is All-I. The tragedy of unemployment deep- ens in the case of those men who are visibly aging, passing prematurely in- to that condition when society has net- ther use nor regard for their services. i The development of the modern city life in its feverish thirst for gain sucks up the activities of the young. Work can always be found for the- children. But the man of forty has al- ready become suspect. At fifty there is evidently stretching before him the bleak old age of the unwanted poor. The despairing clutch of the aging at any degrading occupation which be- fore they would have scorned is one of the commonest and pitifulest sights of modern life. I think of those whom I ,1 have known, those who dye their hair to keep the appearance of youth, the applicants for positions, their eiforts toward respectability, the ink lined coat, the shabbiness concealed, the at- tempt, always so grotesque and inef- fective, to strike the right note be- tween 21 dignity that will command re- spect and an eagerness that will be- come a mere mendicant pleading for aid.

The connection between the head and feet is well known. A hot head is or- dinarily relieved by a hot footbath. 80 cold feet tend to Congest the brain and other internal organs. Sometimes cold feet are caused by tight lacing or tight fitting shoes. But it is as much a suicidal act to hasten death by com- pressing the lungs or the feet as by compressing the neck with a rope. A Country of Linguists. Almost every native of Iceland, even the peasants and fishermen, can speak at least one foreign language besides his local Danish dialect. Some years ago it became a fad to study languages, and now a person speaking only one tongue is looked down upon as ex- tremely ignorant. English leads; then come German and French. Papers in these three languages are read exten- sively in Iceland and may be found in all the village reading rooms. A Gypsy Prophecy. An English magazine relates a curi- ous instance of gypsy prophecy. The third Earl of Malmesbury, as Lord Fitzharris, was riding to a yeomanry review near Christchurch, when his or- derly, some distance in front, ordered a gypsy woman to open a gate. The gypsy woman quietly waited till Lord Fitzharrls and his staff rode up, when she addressed them, saying, “Oh, you think you are a lot of fine fellows now, but I can tell you that one day your bones will whiten in that field.” Lord Fitzharris laughed and asked her whether she thought they were going to have a battle, adding it was not very likely in that case they would choose such a spot. More than forty years later the field was turned into a ceme- tery. “ ‘Why, where do you live?’ said the deacon. “ ‘About thirty miles from here. “The deacon reddened. ‘Oh, you come and dine with me instead’ he said. ” A Clever Inning-r. “To the town of Norridgewock, in Maine,” said a clergyman, “ a strange minister once came to preach. He preached duly, and after the sermon was over he mingled with the congre- gation, expecting that some one would invite him to dinner. One by one, how- ever, the congregation departed, oder- ing the hungry minister no hospitality, and he began to feel anxious. Where was he to eat? As the last deacon was leaving the church the minister rushed up to him and shook him warmly by the hand. “ ‘I want you to come home and dine with me,’ the minister said. v“- w to be a nest in the cleft of the tree ’ubout thirty feet from the ground and apparently near the place from which the duck had flown. Curiosity prompt- ed him to climb to the place, which he did with great difliculty. The owl on his approach flew on, and to his sur- prise he found in the nest two eggsâ€" an owl’s and a wild duck’s. It is not uncommon for both owls and ducks to build their nests high up on trees, but it is unheard of for one nest to be ap- propriated by both birds. Curious Fact In Natural History. An incident 'which will be interest- ing to naturalists is told in d recent number of the Scotsman. One of the l‘oresters in the employ of the Marquis of Lothlan was returning from his work when he noticed a wild duck fly- ing from a larch tree. On close exami- nation he observed a common brown owl looking down from what appeared tent, scalp their enemies who hfix'éâ€"fzIIâ€"l- en in battle.-â€"-London Globe. foes. This would be evidence that the custom of scalp taking was one of the indulgences even of those people of whom we have record in the Bible.’ Be it as it may, it is an established fact that the custom is a universal one, so far as savage man is concerned. Whether ethnologists can build a the ory of a common origin of man from this or not, or whether this can be taken as an evidence that the Indians are the descendants of the lost Israelite tribes because of their habit ot securing mementos of hair trom their fallen en- emies, is something time alone will de- velop. Be that as it may, it is a fact that all Indian tribes, to a certain ex- book of Maccabees it is recorded that at the termination of one of the battles of which that bloody history is so tun the victorious soldiers tore the skin from the heads of their vanquished lair Raul...
