Bhe was lying in a drift, and as I hob- bled across the stage I kept crying: 'Me che-ild! Where is me che-ld? "Well, it was early in the season and the play was the first attraction at that theater. The scene painters had been at work and had dropped several paint brushes, hammers and other articles into the sheet that held the snowstorm. As the stage hands in the flied shook fhe sheets to make the snow come out a couple of hammers came down and just missed me by an inch. I was blind and didn't dare to look up, but when a monkey wrench just grazed my temple I had presence of mind enough to yell: 'See yonder moon! The storm is over!" The stage hands took thelr eue and let up on me, and the audience never stopped to question how a blind | man could see yonder moon. = A ra From the worst worry |! to the highest satisfac- tion, One 8 ing stone The "Happ v Thought" Range. | | ' er obtruded his personality.

Few persons have any idea of the prodigious quantity of lava and hot ashes which a volcano in a state of eruption can vomit in a few hours. The matter which was discharged in * 1069 from Mount Etna and which threatened to overwhelm Catania forms a mass the extent of which bas been estimated as being not less than 1,000, 000,000 cubic yards. From the immense crater of Kilauea, in Hawall, there was vomited in 1840 {uring a single eruption a mass of lava equivalent to fifty times the volume of earth which it was necessary to remove 'im order to'form the Suez canal. . In 1873 the Skaptar-Jokull, one of the most redoubtable volcanoes in Iceland, sent forth two rivers of fire, one of which ran along a valley for eighty miles, its depth along the entire dis tance being thirty yards. Finally, it is estimated that from the mass of stones and ashes which were discharged In 1883 from Krakatoa could be formed a mountain higher and wider than Mont Blanc. 4 An Old Time Remedy. In the ice chest of a Germantown vesidence there are always lying four or five big keys. This is because the Nose of the little son of the house bleeds every few days, and nothing stops the hemorrhage like the dropping a large, cold key down the child's back, says the Philadelphia Record. He gquirms and cries out before the shock, and then in a moment he is well, his nose stops bleeding. A physician said that the cold key remedy for the hem- orrhage of the nose was as old, he sup- posed, as keys themselves are. "Itisa very good remedy," be went on, "and its curative power is due to the shock it gives. But sn't it an odd thing to use-- a cold key? Almost as odd, to my mind, as the eandle with which some persons fallow their noses when they have & cold. But the candle remedy does no good, so far as I can see, whereas the key remedy is one of the best in the business." He Didn't Take the Hint. Chicago once had as its superintend- ent of city schools a bachelor named Howland, whose gruffness of manner and love of neatness were proverbial Going into the room of a young and at- fvactive teacher one day, Mr, Howland took notice of an untidy desk and a carelessly arranged bookshelf, and, .. pointing his finger at them, queried ~~ His Gracey IWillierfotce used to tell a sto- who when say grace looked anxiously to there were champagne glasses table. If there were, he began, Jehovah!" But if he saw only claret glasses he said, "We aye worthy of the least of thy mercies." Bountifu gs Pave Some Municipal Ways.

A recent writer on oriental rugs says that there Is no arbitrary test by which an inexperienced person can tell a gen- uine rug from a bogus one. Knots and strands mean nothing except in con nection with other important elements Shades and spots are imitated. Wash- ing the rug to discover if it has been painted over with brush and water color frequently leads only to the dis- covery of a bad spot In an otherwise fine rug. The oriental dyer does his work according to his own sweet will Between the puffs of a cigarette and the gossip of his friends he dips his material in the dye tub. Only the ex- pert knowledge of the old rug buyer can be depended on. These buyers go to the great fairs on the edge of the desert, where once a year the men of the east gather to haggle together. Sometimes western buyers push into Persia and the Caucasus to search out rare weaves in the homes of the weav- ers, but the venture is always attended with some danger from native hostil- ity. It is said that the annals of com- merce contain greater romances than were ever woven around tales of war, PLANT PECULIARITIES, The Reason Fruit Bushes and Vines Are Protected by Thoras, Most persons think that the stem of a plant grows from the roots. On the contrary, the roots grow from the stem. In the case of a plant that dles down to the ground in autumn It Is not the roots that send up a new stem for the spring, for a part of the true stem remains underground én the root crown, and from it grow up the bud bearing stems in the spring. When a seed germinates, it sends tbe light loving stem upward and the dark lov- ing root downward. Saw off part of a tree trunk and you will ind a series of rings from the cen- ter to the bark, each ring marking a year of growth. But these rings indi- cate also which of the seasons through which the tree has lived were dry and which had plenty of rain. The rings are always of unequak width: The narrow ones represent dry seasons and the wide ones seasons when the condi- tions of growth were better by reason of plentiful rain. Every rose has its thorn, and the same may be said of such frults as Blackberries, raspberries, ete, only they are not real thorns, but prickles, which strip off with the outer bark bardened, undeveloped branches. But why do bushes and vines have prickles? Many people wonder at it, taste, and cows and sheep would be sure to eat them in winter, when they crave something fresh if it were not ? manipulate the strings with their fif- the lady at the head | gers and move thelr heads, while the two Grecian damsels at the bottom fan the sleeper to sleep.

How many of those who use cau de cologne from Cologne daily, one might almost say hourly, are aware of the tact that it was invented by an Italian and not by a son of the Fatherland, which gives Its name? Almost 200 years ago an Italian priest, Giovan Maria Farina, eked out his modest fortune by selling perfum+ ery, Uttle art objects and so on at Do- modossola, In 1702, happening to be in Cologne and making use of some of the finest vegetable productions of theo' country, he discovered the secret of the miraculous perfume, which has never been revealed to this day except to his descendants. He soon devoted himself to the sale of his invention, which was so satisfactory that, need- ing help in its manufacture, ho had his brother and nephew join him from Italy. The Increasing fame of the water brought incrensing difficulties of rival ry. New firms who stole his name, his trademarks, stamps and so on sprang up like mushrooms, but they could not steal his secret. Smoking a Narghile, "The narghile is the best instrument to smoke tobacco through, provided you use it in the right way," sald a man who knows. "Most people use it in the wrong way. They load it with tobacco and light up with a match as though it was a pipe they were smoking. This {14s incorrect, and the parghile, so abused, has an abominable taste and } odor. The right way to use the mar- | ghile is first to dip your tobacco in water, squeeze the water out and place the soaked, damp mass in the pipe bowl. Then you take a lump of burn- || ing charcoal and set it on the top of the wet tobacco and begin to smoke. The tobacco itself, you see, is not really alight; it's the charcoal that's alight; it is the burning charcoal that eats the tobacco up. This is the secret of nar- hile smoking. And a narghile, smoked properly, is deliclous--makes, in fact, the very best smoke in the world." 47 i Her Great Faulty A Georgia citizen recently sald that while riding out from Bavannah on borseback he saw a typical southern matron outside a whitewashed cabin, while on the lawn in front a bevy of young colored children were playing. There were eight of them altogetlier, seven of their number being very, very dark, while the eighth one was light complexioned. "You've got some fine looking chil- dren there, auntie," he said. "Deed I hab, boss" she replied "Dere ain't any better pickaninnies in de whole state of Georgia den dat first seben, but dat eighth one, dat mulatto, she done make me more trouble dan de whole oder seben put togedder." "In what way?' I asked.
