o G?te Family Tree * , 8 Captain Craik was the proudest maa in America. He had served creditably in the war of 1812, as his father lied in tho Revolution aud his grandfather huckin the ".Old French war*$*-a31 captains who had never received a scratch or once encoun tered tho vulgar smell of gunpow der. Family pride was the captain's specialty- flow far back he could trace hid kindred nobody exactly knew, but it was popularly believed lie could, if so minded, produce sat isfactory proof that the Craiks had -cruised through trie flood in their own private yacht. Thc captain hated the new and worshiped the old. When he went about it was in an ancient family gig drawn hy an old. horse of ap proved extraction, now a mere pedi gree in hu mess, but in whose spavins .and windfalls tho captain took al most ns much pride as he did in the family gout. Captain. Craik was rich, moreover. Time and the natural rise of prop erty had made him sb*. Ho would Slave scorned the acquisition of ..wealth by any less respectable mode. . ?Trade he looked upon as plebeian ?nd vulgar. Speculation was up .startish, and as for petroleum faugh! His daughter and only child he had left to die unforgiven and almost in , want for having married a man ' ^without a grandfather. Tho poor .girl had besought his forgiveness >. -while her husband lived, but ceased to do so ofter-his death, seeming to look upon such an act as a sort of treason to his memory. Her in ifant son, however, soon left mother less as welL as fatherless, was taken jinto favor at last for the sake of jthe blood that was in him, and 'thus lit came that Willard Spence was .brought up in his grandfather's house in a way befitting the heir ap parent to the handsomest' fortune .within fifty miles. Coptain Craik would have greatly . preferred that his grandson, after finishing at college, should have sat down in gentlemanly idleness and ^quietly awaited his turn at the fam ily succession. But Willard Spence "had other views. He was far from ?haring Iii J grandfather's notions on the value of ancestry, and though too discreet to openly laugh at them he felt he was more than likely to pun counter to them some day, as (his poor mother had done, when his town time to marry cami. It was for this reason partly and partly be .cause he had an ambici?n to he :Eamething in his own right that ^Willard prevailed upon his grand father to enter him as a student in -the office of Mr. Stiles, the leading lawyer of the county. It was with some reluctance that the old gentleman yielded. He en tertained a not very exalted opinion of the bar. But then it was a step ping stone to the bench, and though the family could boast of three suc cessive captains there had never heen a chief justice in it. It was this consideration that determined the captain. If John Stiles was the driest of lawyers, his daughter Mary was tbs prettiest and most fascinating of girls, and Willard Spence was not the man to he slow in finding it out. It would be the old story over to re count, the steps of their falling in love and how deeply they fell in. Willard ventured to hint to his grandfather one day, not at the state of his feelings, but what a nicCj intelligent young lady Miss Stiles ivas. The old gentleman caught like gunpowder. Ho had no .excuse foi putting a s umnmry end to his grand - son's legal studies and packing him off on a foreign tour, for the young man had said nothing to justify a suspicion of his being in love. Bul the captain scented danger afar and proceeded to preach such a homily on the ein of marrying into fsmilies without lineage and put such a dis inheriting look: on that Willard was fain to drop the subject. If tho reader has ever read Black stone he will remember, and if he hasn't wo will tell him, that sh th? second book there is a folding leal 'called a."Table of Descents/' where on the author illustrates the mc dc of computing kindred by a tabulai .view of the ancestors and collateral relatives for ten or a dozen.genera tions of a certain fictitious Johr Stiles. The names are inclosed ir little circles, -with lines uniting thoso supposed to have intermar ried, whose norries are further unit ed by. other lines to those* of theil " offspring. ?. , A haye it ?" Was Willard Spence'i exclamation as his eye fell on' thii leaf lying loose in the volum? lu was reading one day. That evening it was accidentally .dropped in* his grandfather^**;? "What's thia?' asked the oh ^^gfentleni?n, picking it up and put -ting on his speed. "A paper I found in one of Mr fetiles' bo?ks,,, waa the innocent re ' ..Ply. <"..<,. < tttf::., - : i- "Humph 1 A copy of the Stiles &mily tree, and--Btopi let mo seo ranning back, as I Jive, throng!

"Not ? certainly/' acquiesced Wi] lard. ,fiAnd see, herc's the name o Baker. My. maternal grcat-grnnd mother's maiden name was Baker. By Jove, 1 shouldn't wonder if we found ourselves related yet!" "Miss Stiles-is she very hand some?" inquired tho old gentleman. "Passably," answered the young hypocrite. Then it occurred to the captain to ljicturgfdiis grandson on tho im )f~?ot Having returned "Mn Stiles at once. Tho leiended himself with a i, ^hmh* 'tho reader, may pardon if he likes, ile said tho paper had dropped out of a book he brought home to read, and of course he "would hand it to Mr. Stiles the first thing in the morning. Next day Willard was sitting in Mr. Stiles' office fumbling over a lawbook and thinking of Mary when his grandfather's gig drove up. Willard wished in his heart it had broken down by the way. Tho thing he most dreaded was tho two old gentlemen getting together and coming to explanations at present. "Is Mr. Stiles in?" inquired tho captain. "Yes, sir," answered the office boy, ushering the visitor into the back office before WiUard had time to tell the lie he had. framed or tip the boy tho wink. . "Good morning, Mi Stiles," said the captain blandly. "Good morning, captain," return ed the lawyer a little stiffly. "Pray be seated." Tho captain excused the stiffness. ? man with a dozen generations at his back had a right to bo stiff. "I came to speak to you on a matter of importance," said tho captain, taking the proffered seat. The lawyer's face brightened at the prospect of securing a valuable client. "My maternal great-grandmoth er," the captain proceeded, "was a Baker, and your grandfather" "Was a shoemaker," the other was on the point of interrupting, for he knew the captain's hobby and had little patience with it. But before the word was spoken, which would doubtless have led to the explanation Willard so much feared, a cry of alarm broke off the conversation. The two gentlemen reached the front door in time to see the captain's horse and gig dash ing down the street at a pace that astonished all beholders. For the first time in twenty years old Roan's blood was up, and os he tore along in a gait compounded of equal parts of canter and stringhalt it was hard to tell which rattled most, the dry bones of the horse or ihe rickety old gig. The question o.f which would go to pieces first was Epeedily settled by one of the hubs striking a post, which in an instant reduced the vehicle to its original elements and brought old Roan up standing, his Composure completely restored, the crackers having ceased to pop. "Who on earth did it?" roared tho captain. pillard didn't know unless it was j .a sandy haired boy he had just seen dodge round the corner, with a face too dirty to be recognized. What with thc? excitement rr 7 the gathering up of the fragme i id the arrangements necessary to get the captain and old Roon home, tho object of the former^ visit was for the time forgotten. Before he found an opportunity to renew it, a severe attack of gout laid him up for the season. Meanwhile Willard Eressed his suit. Mr. Stiles gave is consent. Mary's had already been obtained, and the "family tree" had settled all scruples with tho captain, whose only regret. was- at not being able to attend the wedding. Wheth er he ever found out the true state of the case is more than we can tell. If he did, he said nothing, for Mary's loving granddaughterly ways soon completely won his proud old heart, and when little great-grand children began to prattle about his knees it wouldn't have made much difference what he found out. A French Duel. If the French are prone to chal lenge each other to fight duels on the smallest provocation they are also prone to bring them to an end with very little fighting. It is credibly related that on the occasion of s dye! between two members of the chamber of depu ties one of the combatants was tak en with a fit of bleeding at the nose just as they came upon the field. "Blood!" exclaimed one of the seconds of the other man. "Blood has been shed. The honor of my principal has been satisfied." And the parties and their seconds thereupon gravely left the field. .

MOBS AND CROWDS. Effect of Force of Numbera and Sense ( of Irresponsibility. Regarding the actions of mobs and crowds a writer on psychology 6ays: "A crowd is not an aggrega tion. It is an individual mind, im pulsive and erratic, with its normal or ethical level generally much be low that of minds that have lost their individuality in it. Thc per sonality of tho men in a mob is lost, for it is recognized that back of- tho avowed causes of human actions aro unconscious motives or forces that defy investigations and that these arc the mainspring of crowd activ ity. These motives or forces aro tho common characteristics of thc race, and in these points people are more alike than in thc acquired charac teristics that come with education. "These forces are primitive, so that crowds are generally incapable of rising above primitive actions. And it is this that explains in part how otherwise respectable people will assist at lynchings and even at tor ture. Some of the characteristics of the mob are a sentiment of in vincible power, thc force of sugges tion and contagion. Tho force of numbers and sense of irresponsibil ity add to this sense of power. The soldier in battle is braver and stron ger-or moro cowardly and panic sticken-than when thinking inde pendently. "By means of suggestion and con tagion the individuals in the crowd aro put into a sort of hypnotic state. The power of tho subjective mind is seen and the personal .will and ob jective mind disappear for tho time being; hence mobs aro impulsive and mobile. They aro aroused one minute to acts of generosity and heroism and descend the next to extremo violence and torture. They are credulous, believing things that would be absurd to one outside tho sphere of crowd influence." 'Tho Viotorioua Flea. One of tho j usti?es.. ofjjtie United States supWme court dined with a Washington family who are ardent advocates of a vegetarian diet. In the course of dinner, which consist ed, says tho New York Evening Post, of all the delicacies of edible plant life in season, the hostess un dertook the conversion of her beef reared guest. But despite her arguments, which were cleverly based on tho chemical constituents of various kinds of food, the jurist was not convinced. "But surely, Mr. Justice," she said finally, "you must admit that vegetarianism means strength and ability when yon remember that the rabbit, which feeds wholly on vege tables, can make such great leaps over the ground-from hiding placo to hiding place." "True, madam," answered tho dis tinguished man gravely, "but we must also remember that the minute creature for which naturalists claim tho ability to jump more times its own length than any other belongs in the class of pure carn?vora." Th? Two Crop?. ? popular Chinese story runs as follows : "Once upon a time there wero two brothers who cultivated their farm in nartnership^ When the season had come to harvest their rico crops the younger asked, 'How shall we divide the crop between us ?* Sao Da, tho elder, answered, 'I will take the upper half, and you shall have the lower/ 'That wouldn't be fair/ said the younger man. 'If I toko the top half this time, and you take it next time, will that do V the elder asked.. His brother thought there could bo no objection to this plan and contented himself with tho roots and stalks; looking forward meanwhile to next year's harvest, when all the grain should be his, as it was Sao Da's this year. When seed time came round again tho younger asked, 'Shall we sow the rice nowP *Oh,' said his brother, 'my idea is that we should plant po tatoes this year.' " Preaching and Prnctico. . Literary Lady (writing) - The most essential point in our inter course with children is to bo truth ful ourselves. Every oilier interest ought to be sacrificed to that of .truth. Tommy-Mother, Mrs. Caller is coming in at the gate. Literary Lady (angrily)-If she asks for me tell her Pm out of town. (She resumes writing.) When we in any way deceive a child, we not only set a pernicious example, but we are likely also to loso our influence over him forever. Qualified For the Position. "Well," said the artist sharply to .the tramp who had entered, "what do you want here? Hurry with what you have to say." "Sir," replied the tramp, with in born dignity, .'1 did pot come here to be insulted. IKrc?rely thought to step in ?nd inquire if you had any model for the statue of Indus try you have on hand. If not, I de sire to apply for the position." - A woman in a neighboring town bought a new-fangled coffee pot from a peddler. In the eveniog she.showed it to her husband, a hardware dealer, who told her he kept the same thing in hts store for half the price shs had paid. "Well," she ssid, "why don't you advertise i Nobody knows whst yon have for sale." \ -- A. roan's musical education may have been neglected, hut he can still play the races; The Wrong Bluff. A clock in a nearby tower had just tolled off the hour of 4 as he arose unsteadily from the card table where he had sat for three hours, Btretohed bis weary limbs, bade his eorurados goodnight, and started in the direc tion of his home, says tbe Philadel phia Press. After a half hour's walk, ic which all tbe lamp posts and telegraph poles insisted on getting in his way; he ar rived at his home, took out his bunch of keys, at last found the elusivo key hole, and softly opening the door and discarding his shoes at tho foot of the stairs, climbed heavenward on all fours. With cat-liko footsteps ho crept across tho threshold of his bed room and proceeded to undress. Ile heard his wife move restlessly, which made him hurry, and in doing so ho upset a ohair, then stepping quickly over to the cradle in the corner he commenoed to rook it violently. "Is that you John?" came his wife's voioe from tho bed. "Yes, dear," ho replied. "Well, what are you doing?" she asked. "Why, I'm rooking the blamed kid to sleep." "How long have you been there?" "Siuoe 11.30." . Well, John, I think you had bet ter get right into bed, as I have the ohild in here besides me, and more over, I've had him here ever einco ll o'clock last night. Couldn't Smoke lt Through. "I have a customer who thinks he smokes twenty oigara a day," said a down-town dealer. "As a matter of fact he gives away many of thom and throws away some that are only partly oonsumed. However, he is firm in the belief that he smokes n oro aotual tobaeoo than any man in New York, and a boast on the subject in my store yesterday led to a curious bet. "He declared, to begin with, that he could smoke three ordinary oigars in half an hour. A bystander remark ed that no man alive could smoke even one oigar continuously until it was consumed without taking it from his lipB. 'Bosh!' said my man, 'I do that right along and think nothing of it. "Ttl bet you a box of Perfeotcs you oan't do it right now,' Baid the other, and in half a minute tho wager was made. By its terms the oigar was to be consumed in steady consec utive puffs and not removed from the lips until burned to a mark ono and a half inehes from the tip. A clear Havana Colorado Madura was se lected fer the test and the smoker took a seat and began. "He puffed like an engine for about two minutes and aooumulated some thing under half an inoh of ash, and then he began to wabble. He shifted the oigar from side to side, pulled slow and fQBt, and seemed to havo difficul ty getting his breath betweeu the jaws. At any rate he kept turning his head to avoid the smoke, and finally got to laughing. I eould see he was in torture, hut he stuck to it until be got within half an inoh of the mark. Then he jumped up suddenly,threw the oigar away and walked out of the shop. "I paid the bet and charged it to his account, and he told me last even ing that the very idea of tobacco made him aiok. I doubt whether it would be possible for anybody to smoke even a moderately strong oigar through in the manner I have described."-From an Exchange. - ? i?? An Economist. Thomas W. Lawson, the Boston millionaire, believes that it is rather through enterprise and originality than through economy that finanoial eucoess may be attained. "The time is past," he said the oth er day, "for suoh eoonomy as used to be practiced by an old Boston restau rateur who recently died.
