Andrew Lang?? Versatility, No one knows how Andrew1 Lang gets through such & stupendous amount of work. He never works- in the morning, generally takes a stroll in the afternoon and dines late. The reason is that he can write anywhere on any thing. A story is told that he once borrowed a farmer's hat in the train, .wrote ah article on the crown of it, and at the same time conducted an elaborate argument on the subject of ghosts.

The Maharajah of Durbhunga hav ing given Lady Curzon, wife of the "Viceroy of India, a herd of elephants, she has devised elephant parties as the latest social -function. On these occa sions each animal carries a young woman and an attendant young man to rendezvous, where tiffin ls served. Lady Curzon rides in a howdah of silver, protected by a white silk um brella, embroidered with pearls. Her mahout carries a silver goad and the ny-fan trappings of the elephant are ienbroldered with silk and gold, while 'fe-toons of pearls hang 'round his ears, j Her elephant testifies his affection by snatching treasures from passers-by br bazaars and bestowing them on the rider. This becomes a trifle embar rassing at times, especially when the fclft takes the form of a little brown boy with nothing on except a string Of beads about his neck. The little fellow was the son of the elephant's ?keeper and the particular friend of the janimal, whlc evidently thought his .two favorites should be together. The little brown boy returned home a richer an? happier child. This picture tells its own ? older girl, just budding into \s ly with, those irregularities an sap the life of so many young Lydia E.

Lady Macdonald, Mrs. Conger and the other ladles of the legation offered their curtains and portieres for use, and the scissors ruthlessly cut un most exquisitely embroidered draper ies into sand bags, while those who were In charge of the fortifications continually sent messengers ashing for "more, more." One of the mission la dles had just laid In a new supply of table linen, and some of the native Christians, finding It and knowing whose It was, brought it to her. This, with all like material,, was used, as were drawn-work linen 6heets and pillow caces, while bolts of rare dam ask linen were 'cut up without com punction. In fact, all sense of cost, and even sense of beauty, seemed to be lost In the eager desire to furnish the means of protection to human lives. Besides these beautiful things thus sacrificed there were also used common ' materials, such as old Mon gol tents, hangings to Sedan chairs and stacks of old Chinese clothing. These were cut out and sometimes sewed by foreign ladles unused to other than delicate work. However, the foreign ladles were greatly assist ed by the Chinese girls of the mission schools, and by the women of ??he fam ilies of native Christians. O' '?e for mer there were some 150. B 'e the supplies brought from the Mgn stores there were great rolls ot on cloth, also of silk and brocade o, from Chinese ctores. The Chint t their funerals wear special gannet u Many of these were used, the long, large sleeves being well suited to the purpose of bag-making. It was a" con tinual surprise, that new supplies from new . sources came in each day as needed. The housekeeping committee and those who worked in the diet kitchen were particularly hard worked, being constantly busy, and exhibited an In genuity in planning and preparing ap petizing edibles that was marvelous. The materials were horseflesh (called pony meat), coarse wheat flour and a dark-colored rice. These were the sta ple materials. There was a small quantity of canned meats, which was used as au occasional relish. The white rice and all delicacies were re served for the bibles and the sick. One of the missionaries told me she went each day to another part of the legation, in constant danger of flying bullets, to get a slice of white bread for her sick baby. The woman having the flour baked a loaf each day, not for the use of ber family, but for the sick. ? While there were three ladles on the standing committee of housekeep ing, all the ladles took their turns in looking after the cooking, serving, ta ble setting, etc. As there were sev enty In this family they were divided into three meases. And it was neces sary to have three of each of the meals. . As the /lining room was also living and sleeping room, it required "much work to keep lt in presentable condition. One of the rardest things to bear was the utter Impossibility of having quiet. There were times when it was unsafe for any one to be out side the building, and all work had to be done with a large number in tho roora. Outside was the roar of artil lery; Inside, three busy sewing ma chines, and women and children, and servants at work, besides all the men not required outside on the fortifica tions or at the mill. This constant noise-and Impossibility to be alone was more wearing upon the nervous system than any amount of work. Leslie's Weekly. Take Children Inlo Partnership. A lady was recently speaking of her pian to keep all business cares and anxieties from the knowledge of her children-keeping everything depress ing out of their life, she called it-that they might be free to enjoy them selves as long as possible, with no feeling-of troubl? or responsibility. "But will that really add to their hap piness in the long run?" asked an old er mother, dissentingly. "We have al ways tried to take our children Into partnership-to have them share our plans and Interests, and let. them know what we are trying to do and what we have to live on. It seems to me that successes are mor? valued if they come as something one has hoped for and helped to work for, and re trenchments are more easily borne If they are intelligently agreed upon in the family council instead of forced upon the younger members with only the bald statement that we cannot af ford this or that. It strengthens th?; family tie if the children feel that it is our home, our business and our inter est; if they know that their opinion Is considered and that their votes count; lt ls a means of education iii wisdom, self-control and unselfishness.

Young in years, but full of vigor find buoyan?y of youth, pretty Bertha Walz, a girl of IC, has a career as a ferry maid on tho Ohio river that for the novelty of its features ls rarely surpassed. For months the young girl has "been the sole support ol' her mother, young er sister and brother. Week in and week out, unaided and alone, she has plied her big ferry skiff back and forth across the Ohio to secure means for providing for her helpless mother and sister. Bertha lives with her mother in an old, but neat-appearing houseboat, on the banks of the Ohio river, near the Pressed Steel Car Company's works, In lower Allegheny. This boat has been her home for the past six years. The idea of running a regular ferry came to her through the suggestions of mill men who cross the river at this point to the McKee's Rocks side to and from their work in the big mills. Partly through the efforts of gener ous contributors a skiff was procured and the girl entered upon a new career. She found her task rather arduous ar first, and her fair young hands were covered with many a blister at the end of a day's toil. But soon th? muscles of her arms bade fair to rival those of the ciack oarsmen of a 'varsity crew. Now she thinks nothing of rowing six or eight stalwart men over the river on a single trip. Some days she makes as many as forty trips, and has been known to .take in as much as $3 a day as a result of her toil. The widespread popularity of ber ferry, however, aroused the ire of less favored ferrymen living in shanty boats near by. First, her best skiff was stolen, and later a new one'was turned loose on the river. Finally, she was not permitted to land her,skiff on the McKee's Rocks shore1 at the large landing, but was made to run ber boat in at some obscure point. Consider able trouble arose over the ownership and use of a pair of wooden steps leading down the river embankment to the shore. The climax was reached one night last week. Richard Grlf feths, a ferryman, tried to lay violent hands on her. Only the timely appear ance of a mill man and the presence of her faithful dog, which usually accom panies her for protection, saved hei from serious injury at his hands. As a result, suit was promptly entered against Grlffeths on a charge of disor derly conduct before Alderman Lynch. At the hearing Grlffeths was fined S1Q and costs, or 20 days In jail. The steps claimed by Grlffeths as personal prop erty were declared to bc government property, and it was directed that the fair prosecutor was fully entitled to their use.-Pittsburg Chronicle-Tele graph. Cuarding the Tehgrranh. When the electric telegraph was firsl Introduced Into Chile a stratagem waa resorted to in order to guard the post! and wires against damage on the part of the natives and to maintain the con nection between the strongholds on th? frontier. There were at the time be tween forty and fifty captive Indians in the Chilean camp. General Pinto in command of the operations-called them together, and, pointing to the telegraph wires, said: "Do you see those wires?" "Yes, General." "I want you to remember not to gc near or touch them, for if you do youl hands will be unable to get away." The Indians smiled incredulously. Then the general made them each IE succession take hold of the wire al both ends of an electric battery in full operation, after which he exclaimed'. "I command you to let go the wire!" "I can't; my hands are benumbed!" cried each Indian. The battery was then stopped. Nol long after the general restored them t<i liberty, giving them strict Instructions to keep the secret. This had the de-n sired effect, for, as might be expected; the experience was related in the strictest confidence to every man In the tribe, and the telegraph has ever since remained unmolested.-Tlt-Blts. As to Vaccination. The small wire cages now used to protect the vaccinated arm from rub bing against people, clothes and cor ners of houses would have been highly appreciated years ago. In the young days of the century we boys and girls had no sort of protection. In not a few cases re-inoculation was constant ly occurring, because we would persist In scratching the sore and transfering an atom of the virus to some other part? of the body by means of the finger nail. Then we liked a big scar. It meant that the vaccination "took" well-Victor Smith, in New' York Press. M3 story. "There is somethiug very myste rious about this burglary," said the letective.

Being a statis tical person, X. has told us all sorts of interesting facts about Paris trees, lt would be a singular lack of respect for them, lt appears, to imagine that, like Topsy, they had "just growed." Each one has to have a special envir onment created for it, to begin with. An artificial soil three metres wide by one metre deep. Under the asphalt which covers Its roots there must be a complicated and highly perfected sys tem of drainage. And still another triumph of science is to bc found in the means for protecting its leaves from the exhalations from the gas-jets in tho branches. So each tree costs the city of Paris 170 francs to plant, and the cost of keeping up the green which or naments her gardens, squares, streets, and boulevards ls just 2,000,000 francs a year.-Harper's Bazar.

In order to simplify the transporta tion of. small boxes or trunks by the railroad in Prussia, the Administration has just inaugurated a system of trunk stamps similar to postage stamps. As far as Frankfort and Mayencc, trunks or parcels weighing from 1 to 08 pounds now need only to have a stamp stuck on them and to be handed In at the station. There are two divisions, one for dis tances of under G5 miles, the other for longer distances, and In each division ?three rates - namely, for packages weighing less than 15 pounds; between 15 and 20, and between 20 and 65. The stamps issued arc 5 cents, 10 cents, 20 cents and 40 cents. All such parcels are sent by express. The time of trans port is guaranteed to be not longer than ten hours for G5 miles. For an additional payment of 10 cents the package will be delivered to the ad dresses within an hour of the arrival of tho train. "Time To Cet Up."
