A gnbarbiiD woman not long since purchased an alarm clock. It was a fat nickel plated little affair with the cua- | tomnry gong atop. The woman got the clock because she felt an overwhelming deaire to play the role of the early bird. That night, therefore, she set the time- | piece according to the specified direc- tiona. But for some reason or other the clock failed to go off. The woman gave it a second trial Again it played her ! false She took it to the suburban jew- eler. Be said the clock was outrageous ly oat of order, hinted darkly at the dis- honeaty of any Individual who would palm off such an article as perfect goods and prescribed a course of treatment which he woald be gracioas enongh to administer for the sum of 75 cents. The clock’s original cost had been $1.50. The night that it came back from the anhnrban jeweler the woman wonnd it np with • feeling of unassailable secur ity. This time the role of the early bird would be bera for certain. The ne.U morning, however, it failed to go off, Just as before. The woman took It back to the suburban jeweler, who received it with an “I told yon that clock was terribly oat of order.’’ Encore, 75 oenta. Time passed, the clock, like the cat in the cynticle, "came bock," and the woman woke op (some hours later than she bad intended) only to find that it hadn’t “gone off” again. She now took the troublesome timepiece to the city jeweler from whom she bad first pur chased ii He declared the clock to have been all right until “ruined” by the suburban jeweler, bnt consented to re pair it—also to charge $1 for so doing. The woman then bore it home in tri umph. Next morning, though, the same old drama waa enacted, and the woman was once more nuable to assume the role of the early bird. Had she been a man she might have sworn. As it waa, she con fided her woes to the breakfast tableful “Why, that clock's been going off all the time,” observed the woman who occu pied the neighboring room to the clock owner. “It's waked me np every morn ing regularly. The tronble la it hasn't waked you. ” Whereupon the woman felt more In censed against the clock than ever.

A Hurmlmn Monitor That Water on Gi The manatee belongs to a mammalian order called sirenia, or seacowa, which contains only three species—our mana tee, that of west Africa and the dugong of Australia. As its clumsy form Bug gests, it is an animal of quiet and even alnggish habits, entirely harmless and easily taken when once its haunts are known. When at home, its food consists of tender aquatic plants ’and grasses, al ways eaten under water, and its presence is generally revealed by the bits of bro ken stems and grass which escape and float to the surface above where it is i feeding. In captivity It feeds on cabbage, let tuce, the leaves of the canna, celery | top", watercress, spinach, and also cer- i tain kinds of ocean seaweed. In the St. Lucie river its favorite food la a luxuri ant, trailing aqnatic grass, called man atee grass, in which the manatee finds not only good.food, but good hiding places from its human enemies. The bones of this animal are massive, solid and quite heavy (some hunters will tell yon its bones are “solid ivory”), and its skin is as thick and tongh as that of a hippopotamus. I have seen very good canes made of strips of man atee skin, twisted like a lightning rod and dried. Its flesh is very good, and, to me, it tastes quite like lean pork. Curiously enongh, this strange creatnre actually sheds its outer skin every year, as does a serpent. The living specimens that from time to time have been cap tured and kept for exhibition in Deme- rara, Philadelphia, New York and Lou don have in all cases been of small oi medium size, varying in length from 4 to 7 feet. The one which was shown in the Central pork menagerie in 1873 was' 0 feet inches in length and weighed 450 pounds.—W. T. Hornaday in St Nicholas. A FAMOUS MAN’S MOTHER. Queer Faeti About Air. The celebrated obemiat of the six teenth century who argued that it would be impossible for ns to live <*i the earth’s surface tf the atmosphere should suddenly increase to twice Its present thickness oould not have been far wrong, after all—that la, if the experiments of Dr. Aruott are to be taken as conclu sive. In hia observations on atmospheric pressure at the bottoma of the deep mining shafts of Europe, Professor Ar- nott baa found that the change between the readings of a barometer at the bot tom of a 4,000 foot shaft and one at the surface is great enongh to warrant him in making the atatement that air at the bottom of a shaft SO miles deep would be as dense as water. Figuring on the same ratio* he finds that if a bole could be sunk 40 miles into the bowels of the earth the density of the air at the bot tom won Id be as great an that of quick silver.—SL Louis Republic.

As to t! ’■.•)’ -nbtle and intimate influences, tin j Onarily came by con tact, not by preaching.

Her whole formula of training consisted in these three things: To retain the entire confi dence of the child, to do whatever seem ed wisest and to be patient. Her trnst in Providence was absolute and control ling, as was her sense of the personality of the Deity. Most valuable of all her traits to her children next to her quality of sunshine was probably her absolute rectitude, the elevation of her whole tone, the com- nlete nnworldliness, so that no ohild of hers ever heard her refer to any stand ard bat the highest With all thia was combined the conscientious accuracy lu affairs, Ihe exquisitenicety inall house hold details, which belong to the best of the traditions of New England. Tbe Contagion of Ideas. Affirmation, pare and simple, with out reasoning and without proof, is one of the surest means of planting an idea in the popular mind- The more concise it is, tbe more free from every appear ance of proofs and demonstration, the more authority it has. The religious hooka and the codea of all ages have al- waya proceeded by simple affirmation. Statesmen called upon to defend any political cause and manufacturers ad vertising their goods know what it ia worth. Yet it has no real influence, ex cept it is constantly repeated and so far as possible in the same terms. Na poleon said that repetition was the only serious figure in rhetoric. By repetition an affirmation is incrusted in the minds of hearers till they at last accept it as a demonstrated truth. What is called the current of opinion is formed, and than the potent mechanism of contagion cornea in. Ideas that have reached a cer tain stage, in fact, possess a contagion* power as intense aa that of microbes. Not fear and courage only are contagi ons. Ideas are, too, on condition that they are repeated often enongh. When the mechanism of contagion baa begun to work, the idea enters upon the phase that leads to success. Opin ion, which repelled it at first, ends by tolerating and then accepting it. The idea henceforward gains a penetrating and subtle fore "bich sends it onward, while at the see lime creating a sort of special atnn^p/iere, a general way of thinking.—Popular Science Monthly, As cold weather approaches women try to devise means for preventing hands and lips from chapping.

In DtflWreot Fortin by Lincoln, TH«- oAom Porker nod Wrbetor. In a letter headed “Not Lincoln’s Own Words,” a correspondent po-- a ont that the words “government of ,e people, by the people, for the peo; !e, ” in tbe famous Gettysburg addreaa were not original with Lincoln. He attempts to further show that they were original with Henry Wilson, and were qnoted hy Lincoln from a letter written in 1860 by Wilson to ''srtain persona In Boston. In a peer! delivered at the New England jntisl very convention, Boston, May 29, 1860, by Theodore Parker, may be fonnd the expression “a government of all the people, by all the people, for all the people, ” the exact language with the exception of one word, of that ascribed to Wilson and employed by Lincoln. Bnt still further hack had the same idea been expressed in substantial ly tbe same way by Daniel Webster in one of hia most splendid oratorical ef forts, whose every phrase wa? familiar to all patriotio Americans long oe ; re Parker ottered hia speech or Wilson wrote his lettof. In his second speech on Foot’* resolution, Jan. 2fi, 1830, Webster used these words, “The people’s government, made for the people, made by the people and answerable to the people. ” The phraae discussed belongs no more to Wilson than to Lincoln. The words can no more be said to have been i "qnoted” by Lincoln from Wilson than j from Parker or Webster. Lincoln waa familiar with the writings end speeches i of Parker. He had probably never seen j this particnlar letter of Wilson's. That his language should be exactly the same as that of tbe latter was a coincidence, but probably nothing more. The phrase was merely tbe expression, in the sim plest, most direct language, of the glo rious yet popular and familiar idea of , the constitution and object of onr form of government The expression cannot be ascribed to any one man. Lincoln does not givethe statement as a positive declaration—as a new coined phrase in tended to add to his lanrels aa a pnblio speaker, bnt uses tbe words as descrip tive of onr government in ottering the resolve that it “shall" not perish from the earth.” That some words of the speech had been said before does not detract from tbe beanty or grandeur of Lincoln's ad dress as a wl: ie. Biaspeech, which has been declared to bo the greatest in the records of oratory of our own or any other country, waa so not becanse it waa the labored and polished effort of a practiced orator, "but becanse of the greatness of the man, as a man, who uttered It.—Washington Star. SELLING A MINE. ▲ W«*torn Man’* Great Lack In DfipoalnK at His Property. 1 “It is the easiest thing on earth to sell a mins in London for almost any price, provided yon have anything to show au expert, ” said Major Frank Mc Laughlin. “There is also a right way and a wrong way to go about it. Sons time ago I went to London to negot '.v the sale of some minlug property. Of course, the first thing I had to do was to let capital know what I was there . for. Then, when inquiries commenced, I simply said: 'Gentlemen, I have min- lng*property to sell If you mean busi ness and want to boy, send your expert ont to examine tbe property and make a report on it You will know then what yon are buying. ’ “A company waa organized. The ex pert examined tbe property and reported favorably, and a meeting waa held to discuss terms. “ ‘Now, major,' said tbe spokesman, ‘we have found that the property may be worth something. What is jonr price?’ “ ‘Two hundred and fifty thousand, ’ said L “ 'That is more than we expected to pay. We expected to pay about 300,- 000. There ia not much difference be tween 200,000 and 250,000. If you will drop the 60,000 we will take it' “I expected to get about $100,000 for the property, ao with a show of reluc- tanoy I agreed to accept their offer. When the papers were made ont, I wat surprised to learn that they bad been talking about pounds and I about dol lars, bat I was very careful not to let my surprise leak, and that is the way I got $1,000,000 for the mine. Great peo ple to do business with.”—San Fran cisco Post One of the Three. A hold and fearless statement waa made in this column a few days ago touching beanty. It waa put forth that there wen only three actresses on earth who oould lay an honest claim to beanty. "Clara M."writes that her curiosity has bean aroused and wants to know who the three are. Now, it would be very nngallant to say. The atatement has all the actresses in the world guess ing, and until the names of the three are mentioned each of onr footlight favorites will believe she is one of them. Why spoil their fan? What is the use of calling names to make people feel in jured and slighted and misunderstood? I do not douh »ji..t Misa Clara M., if she be an actress, c aid lay an honest claim to recognition as one of the three —New York Pres*. MIMICRY AND REASON. Indication That This Monkey Is Endowad WUh a Share of Each. “That tbe monkey possesses Intelli gence to s considerable degree is proba bly true,” said a hotel proprietor who has a small menagerie on hia premises. "I believe, however, mnch of tbe Intel ligence with which that animal la cr fi tted is dne lo his love of mimicry. “The other day two yonng men with two girls were at the monkey’s cage feeding him peanuts. One of the girls was chewing gum, and one of the men suggested that she give the monkey some, expecting that if he took it in hia month it would stick to his teeth, and !;■’ would make sorry work of trying to i v it. The girl at once parted with the sweet morsel she was so industrious ly chewing, extending ft toward the cage. The monkey grabbed it instantly and pnt it into his mouth, but instead of chewing it, or attempting to, began pulling it ont in small ribbons, as chil dren are frequently seen to do. When he had it all ont of bis month, he rolled it into a compact ball between bia hands, threw it into hia month and be gan the operation again. He appeared to enjoy the performance as much as his visitors. That was imitation. ” “That’s all right,” rejoined another, “bnt I had an experience with that aanie monkey wherein he displayed in to .if. nos. I was by the cage smoking one ilay, and I thought to annoy him by blowing smoke in his face. I was mnch surprised to find that, instead of being annoyed, he enjoyed it, as was evi denced by his edging np as near me as possible to receive the smoke in larger volumes. Soon he began scratching himself at tbe point where most of the smoke came against him. When 1 had smoked one side for a few miuntes, he would turn sqnarely round to have the other side treated in the same way. Then he sat np directly in front of me and received the smoke sqnately in the face and neck. I don’t know whether he held his breath, but he did not cough, sneeze or wince a particle. To oomplMe the job he then sat with hia back toward me, and it would have done you good to have seen him throw his hind feet over his back and scratch. It made me think of the kickers of a hay tedder in motion. Now that monkey knew, through some sort of Intelligence, that nothing will send fleas and other insects to the surface or stupefy them aa effect ively aa tobacco smuke."—Utica Ob server. COLLEGE GIRLS AND MARRIAGE. The world of reality has it* limit*. The world of imagination is boundless. Not being able to enlarge the one, let ns contract the other, for it la from their difference that all the evils arise which render ua unhappy.—Rousseau. .Dvr- In a volume of sermon* hy a well known bnt turgid preacher the follow ing lines were fonnd written upon the flyleaf: If there should be another flood.

I have no doubt that the remaining cause of the low marriage rate is that many men dislike intellectual women— whether because such women are really d isugrecable of because men’s taste is at fault I shall not try to determine. And even among those who like them aa friends many feel as the young man did who made this confession: “I never expected to marry the sort of girl I did. You know I always believed in intellectual equality and all that and had good friendships with tbe col lege girls. But, you see, you girls hadi.'t any illusions about us. After you had seen -1 -ruing at the board on problems you could work and had taken the same degrees yourselves, you couldn’t Imagine ns wonders just because we had gone through college, and when I met a dear little girl that thought I knew every thing—why, It jnst keeled me right over. It was a feeling I had no idea of. ” And the college woman answered: “1 will betray something to yon. Lots of ns are just as unreformed as you. We want just as moch to look up to our hus bands as you want to be looked up to. Only of course the more we know the harder It is to find somebody to meet the want. Probably the equal marriage is rea”y tbe ideal one, and everybody Will come to prefer It some day. But per- ■oually I like men to he superior to me Only I’ll fed yon what I don't like in them—the wish to keep ahead of us by holding ua back, like spoiled children that want to be given the game and then admired for their skill If men would encourage rs to do onr very best, an ! ihen do atill better themselves, it ou^lu to be good for civilization.”— “The Marriage Rate of College Wom en,” by Mijicent W. Shinn, in Century. CocoanuU In Florida. Quite a number of tropical nuts have recently been introduced into cultiva tion in thia country. Already on the ' east coast of Florida are growing 250,000 cocoannt trees, 42,000 being in one plantation. It ia believed that tbe first trees of this kind in that state sprouted from nuts brought from Central Ameri ca and the West Indies by tbe gnlf stream. At Key West and about some of the old forts cocoanuts were planted at an early day, as certain ancient trees now standing bear witness. In 1877 a bark freighted with oocoannts was caught in a storm off the coast of Flori da and beached near Lake Worth. Sev eral thousands of the nnts were saved and planted, the satUfactory growth of the seedlings giving an impetus to cul tivation.—New York World. The Cable Cod*. One of tbe curiosities of the cable code method of sending information la shown in a recent message announcing tbe lues by fire of a ship at sea. The whole meesage waa conveyed in three words of Scott’a cable code: "Smonlder- ed; hurrah ; hallelujah I” “Smouldered’’ stands for “the ship has been destroyed by fire," “hurrah” for “crew saved by boats" and “ballelnjah” for “all hands saved—Inform wives and sweetheart*” —New York Tribune It is said that the blind never dream of visible objects, and a mute has been observed when dreaming to carry on a conversation by meant of his fingers or I in writing. THE SOCIABLE GAME. BOSTON r-OCIETY’S RADICAL INNOVA TIONS AT POKER. Recks of Sixty Card, and "Rtnxdoodlea" A-nong tha New Feature* Sympathy For Losers and Luncheon With "A We. Rip* For All—Th. Llttl. Kitty. Conld the late Minister Schenck, who gave to the world during his diplomatic life a treatise on the fascinating Ameri can game, attend a modern poker party he would certainly declare that the world has moved backward, in one re spect at least Very few people ontaide certain cir cle* of the Back Bay have any conception of the extent to which poker playing la carried in that section. The whole lo cality ia divided into “sets," and it ia customary for each one to hold a session at his or her house nearly every night in the week. Tbe nsual hour for beginning play ia 8 o'clock, and it ia customary for the ladies to dress for the oocasion, while the gentlemen not infrequently array themselvea in fall evening coetnme. The standard limit ia 10 cents, one reason for making it so small being that the conscientions shall not feel that they are gambling. It is frequently remarked by thia one and that one that they have not come ont for the pnrpose of making anything—only to have a social time. This atatement appears somewhat incon- gruons when placed aide by side with the look of satisfaction that ia notice able when a good sized jackpot is tak en in. Another feature of society poker is the great aruonnt of sympathy expressed for the players when the cards are run- | ning badly and they have been called upon to interview the bank for the fifth or sixth time. The heaviest dealers in sympathy are thane who have the largest stack of chips before them. It does not cost anything, and it ia believed by the ones who peddle it ont that it will im press the others with a belief that they are real generous. Bnt a carefnl observ er will notice aa the game progresses that the nnlncky one is always raised by those who believe they have the best hands, notwithstanding tbe size of their : stacks. This is called poker table sympathy and Is as shallow and meaningless aa mnch of the talk heard among society people. Generally there are three hours of play, after which the hostess asks her guests to a light repast, consisting of sardines, crackers, cheese and aweet- meats. Bottled beer is the favorite bev erage, but there are instances on record where something stronger has been in dulged in. A great many society people of both sexes drink rum punch, lemon ade dashed with whisky and plain gin. The nsual time devoted to refresh ments is 16 minntea, as all-are anxious to get at the oards again. Now the peculiar features of society poker, which are contiary to the “for mula” presented by the lamented .Schenck, are novel and numerous, and while they are readily accepted by nine- tentls of those who play jnst for the fun of the thing, yet Uie other tenth is unalterably opposed to them, bnt, act ing in accordance with the principle that the majority should rule, all efforts to have the game rid of them have been abortive. The most pain that the small minor ity experiences in playing the evoluted game is when the 60 card decks are bronght in. It frequently happens that seven and eight players are present at a sitting, and when everybody “stay*” tbe cards fall short, which necessitates gathering np the "dead wood” and fill ing ont the hands from it There is a well grounded superstition that these discards have been robbed of everything of value, and that to draw from them is equivalent to throwing the chips into a redhot stove. To in a measure meet i hese exigencies 11 and 12 spot oards have been added, making the pack con sist of 60 cards instead of 62. Those who have been accustomed to play at the clubs, where the game still retains all its Scheuckian parity, have a chill when they find these obtrusive cards are to confront them. Another innovation is the “ringdoo- dle. ” Where the word originated ia a mystery fully aa deep aa the practice it designate* A ringdoodle is declared when a hand has been called and fours are shown. Then follows a round of jack pota, the holder of the winning hand starting them. Bine chips are pnt np to corre spond with the number of player* Of course this make* a heavy drain on the atacka which have been lowered through tbe evening by 111 lack, and if the own er of one of these happens to be an op ponent of tbe ringdoodle, he goes off on a long dissertation on how the game waa once played. Of course a round of jack pota wonld be eqnivalent to a ringdoo dle, but it cornea easier to some players to pay on the installment plan. It baa now become the custom to make a discount of one red chip for ev ery jack pot Althongh thia ia a pretty heavy rake off, yet it all comes back to tbe players jnst before the wind up for the evening. When time hat crept on toward mid night, the keeper of the kitty announce* that a ronnd of consolation jacks will be played. The chip* are divided into n number of piles oorresponding with the number of players, aud tbe extras are placed in the center of the table with ; the individual contribution* When society plays poker, there is al ways a big supply of cards on hand. If luck runs badly for a player a new pack is demanded, but it is rarely fortune changes her plans She names the unfor tunate ones lief ore tbe game starts, mid no form of device will bring about aa alteration m her programme. —Breton Herald.
