Along toward 11 o'clock he passed & well-known down-town fish and oyster . store, and the display of lobsters in front of the establishment caught his eye. He bought one that weighed about 11 pounds, and he packed It around with him for a few hours until } he could find just the right liner he 1 wanted to take home. He got home after 2 in the morning, and he carried . his lobster up to his wife's room, prob- , ably with the idea of appeasing her ' with the nrespnt. He . riKuicvuo mam >... .... , turned up the gas and then clomped over to the foot of her bed and held up the lobster. . 'M' dear," said he, grinning greasily, "wash mar'r this f'r tomorrow's din'r?" She opened her eyes and gazed at him calmly. "What's the matter with what for ' tomorrow's?today's, rather?dinner ?" she asked him, looking hlA straight in the eye. "Thish," said he, holding the huge lobster still higher and regarding it with pride. "What, your hands?" she asked, still looking him steadily in the eye. "Thish lobst'r?ain't It a babe?" he asked, switching the weight to the other hand. "O, a lobster, you say?" said his wife, complaisantly, and never taking her ayes off his face. "So you fancy you are showing me a lobster, do you? Do you know what condition such a hallucination on your part betokens?" He rested the big lobster on the bed room matting, scratched his head in a puzzled kind of way and looked at his wife strangely. "D'ye mean t' shay I haven't got a lobshter here?" he asked her, weakly. "You may have a million of them In your mind?I don't doubt that in the " least?but you are to remember that I ^ do not get myself into such a rum- ^ soaked condition that they are visible ^ to me," she said, cooly turning away. ^ He gazed at her with alarm for a moment and then he stumbled into the j, bathroom and let the cold water run j on his head. While he was thus en- ' gaged his wife jumped out of bed and ^ threw the lobster out of the window fl Into the back yard. Then she, got into ^ bed again. When he returned, wiping t the water out of his eyes with a towel, he looked all over the room for the t lobster. Failing to find it, he bent t over his wife, took her hand and said: t "You're ri\ Ish all off. W'en I get ^ sho I shee lobshters ish time t' pash out an' quit. I quit." , She was up early the next morning j to bury the lobster in the ash barrel, so that he wouldn't see it from the ^ window when he got up. f All of which explains why the Sev- j, enteenth street man, who is always ^ promising his wife to be good, has been j taking only seltzer lemonades and j vichy and milks with the gang on Saturday nights.?Washington Post. y h Good Sized Berries.?On old Carlisle bridge, in Dublin, there used to be' a fruit stand kept by Biddy, the apple- |j woman, who was a well-known figure to all passers-by. She had a ready v tongue, and never did a verbal oppo- ^ nent retire with all the honors. An American visitor, who had heard rumors of her skill at fence, one day took up a watermelon displayed for 0 sale, and said, gravely: k "You grow pretty small apples over v here. In America we have twice this size." 8 Bridget looked upl coolly surveyed,c <nVor fmm head to heels, and re- 11 plied.

"Over in that corner you will ^ find a lot of straw." "I wouldn't dare lie on your straw, madam," said the tramp; "I'm so hungry that I'd be sure to wake up and j" find myself eating it."

A Business Proposition.?"I think t it's mean," she sobbed, "you might 1 give me the money I ask you for. I 1 don't think you care for me at all." f "My dear," said the close husband, t "I care more for you than all the mon- 1 ey in the world. You're worth your 1 weight in gold, and?"

The work of the electric < luid occurred at two different places in he county on the same day. The fam- < ly of Mr. Dick Hughes, who lives near tfooresboro, were sitting on the porch 1 vhen there came a blinding flash and i leafening crash, the bolt striking the shimney of the house, running thence < lown the tin valley, then through the 1 oof, striking the 13-year-old son of i he family, killing him instantly. The < ;ame bolt, it is supposed, glanced to the < )oy's mother, striking her on the thigh i ind knocking her senseless. Her inuries are quite serious, as she is se- i rerely burned and was unconscious for 1 several hours. Young Hughes was i stricken on the shoulder, the bolt go-1] lng down the body to the knee, burning and searing the flesh terribly. When stricken he sprang upright and was caught by his father as he was falling. The work of death was instantaneous. We sympathize deeply with the bereaved family. The other stroke of lightning occurred in Shelby, at the home of Mr. Abe Dawson, who, with his family, occupies the cottage next to that of R. L. Simmons. Lightning struck a hickory tree standing within a few feet of the house, and tore it into splinters, hurling bark and splinters in every direction. Mrs. Daw- . son and little child were sitting in the room nearest the tree and were hurled to the floor, but escaped injury. The flying bark from the tree smashed the window blinds and glass.

"It will start without the sightest cause, and you never know e ivhen to expect it. It may be only a ru- t nor, it may be in the air, and the deed t s done. Many a good bank has gone t :o the wall simply because there was t 10 way to know that a run was in pros- t pect, and there are times when the s soundest bank in the world could not n stand an unexpected run. "A number of years ago when I was 0 i young man, I was cashier of a bankj^ n the interior of the state. The bank'j, >vas in good condition and perfectly.^ sound, and we did not dream that ourja credit would be questioned. But one 't, lay a run was started without warning, v ind inside of two hours there was a'0 lowling mob around the bank, and we'c -ealized that we had a serious situa- s Lion to face. I "It was simply impossible for us to ]; meet all the demands, but I paid out the funds that we had on hand, knowing full well that it was a question of inly a few minutes when we would be j abliged to close. o "Finally the president of the bank a lame to me and said in a low voice: t " 'How much longer can we hold r aut?( p "Not over ten minutes, I replied, t wiping the beads of perspiration from g my brow. I "Calmly and deliberately he reached n aver to the money case, picked up a $10 bill, rolled it lengthwise, stepped to the j stove and lit it; then, without a quiver T af an eyelid, he produced a cigar, bit s aff the end and proceeded to light it n from the burning bill. v "That move saved the bank. The a man to whom at that moment I was s banding his balance gasped and then, t 3hoving the money back, said he would t leave it. It was the turn of the tide, d and the run ceased. We didn't even lose the $10 bill, as the president was careful to see that there was enough left to be redeemed."?Detroit Free Press. SIGNAL CORPS IN CHINA. Our Men Have Been Conspicuous In The March of the Allies. Washington Cor. Brooklyn Eagle. With the first detachment of American troops that landed in China during the present trouoie mere was a sman band of signal corps men. There were 40 privates, under the command of Major Scriven. They have done remarkable work in the short time they have been in China, and have rendered service of the greatest value to the entire world. The signal corps detachment was provided with a large supply of telegraph material, including wires and instruments for the operation of flying telegraphs, the laying of cables and other means of communication. From the moment that t ie allied army started for Pekin the American j'.gnal corps experts have been conspicuous In the daily developments, for it was on them that the great bulk of the work fell so far as establishing a line of telegraphic communication was concerned. The authorities here have not been advised of thrcepense etaoinnnn been advised of the presence in China of a detachment of similar experts from any European army. The thirtyfive miles between Taku and Yangtsum were bridged over by a line erected by the American signal corps men, and the first news of the capture of the latter place was flashed over this line, rhe intelligence was obtained and transmitted by Major Scriven and was the first information that the world oad of the great victory. U*or the oast few days the war department has oeard nothing over this line from the ooints beyond Yangtsun, the explanation for the silence being the general supposition that the Chinese have destroyed the wire. The signal corps of- ! icers .at Washington, however, are confident that the men are working ousily to repair the break and that it vill be but a short time before comunications are reported clear to Pekin. Dne reason for the delay in perfecting :he line is the absence of all timber in : ;hat region, necessitating the laying of he line along the ground like a cable it sea. In view of the fact that the ; vire is to be stretched through a hos:ile country and that there is only a :omparatively small force to guard it,. i 'requent breaks are to be expected. The I vork of the American signal corps nen, with their flying telegraph and luperlor method of gathering and ransmltting Information, has attracted i he attention of foreign governments, i md the war offices of nearly all the he European countries have spoken in vords of warm praise of the service : endered by Major Scriven and his nen. It is rather a notable fact that he signal corps beat the newspapers n securing the first news of the great svent of the Spanish war, as well as in urnishing the first information conlerning the capture of Tangtsun. Col. Ulen, chief signal officer at Santiago luring the war with Spain, was the Irst to learn and send to the United States the fact of the destruction of Admiral Cervera's fleet. CITY OF BAGAD. ts Characteristics Still Suggest the Days of the Caliphs. Bagdad is one of the last of the unipoiled great cities of the East. The i 3azaar of Constantinople has been defied by Western innovations, and Eu- i opean fashions are stealing into the 1 ihops of Tabriz. Bagdad Is changing, oo, but its colors and ways are still 1ch with suggestions of the days of he caliphs and the luxurious era of 'slam. The old part of the customlouse is the palace of the caliphate, loary with the marks of more than light centuries, and mosque and mintret recall great names of great days vhich will never come again. In the palace court now are iron from Birmingham and cotton from Mancheser, matches from Sweden and cheaper nd more sulphurous ones from Japan, hinaware from China and Russia, pirits and sugar from Marseilles, with \'heat for shipment to London and vool hides for America. Where the aliph's favorites once sold kingdoms, nspectors now take their petty bribes. | t is a curious bedlam. Caravans come I n from Persia, Arabia, and Mesopotania. The laden camels, horses and lonkevs suree out east, north, west ,nd south. A hamal, or porter, push- J s by carrying on his back a 350-pound tale of cotton. And the Bagdad naives are distinguished from the rest >y the Bagdad button, a scar about 1 he size of a date, often on the end of ] he nose, always on the face, which I ooner or later comes to disfigure al- j nost every resident of Bagdad. Hebrews, of whom there are 40,000, ne-third of the population of the city; irmenians, many of whose women lave been married to Europeans; J irabs from the desert, Turks, soldiers, i nd fat civilians, some dark, some 1 lond as the janizaries, chavadars j t'ith their caravans, Persian traders i f all kinds, pass to and fro under the overed streets between the bazaar hops displaying all the produce of the j iast.?Frank Leslie's Popular Month- ? _ t ENGLISH AS SHE IS WRITTFN. > A lamentable unfamiliarity with , English as she is idiomatically spoke ] n her native heath is responsible for , bad quarter of an hour which a cerain young: lawyer of this town will tot soon forget. His wife has most ironour.cedly correct tastes in everyhing, including dress. Such of her ;owns as do not come direct from London are built in New York by the nost correct of English man milliners. Vhen she made ready to go to Long Iranch for the summer, the young t'ife laid in a supply of clothes that hould dazzle the natives. Her Eng Ish man milliner was, however, pro- . okingly slow about delivering things, .nd she was forced to set off without j everal of her frocks she had intended aking witn her. For the first week af er she went away she wrote to her levoted husband at home every day. ( * For the second week she wrote'every other day. In the third week four days passed without a line from her. On the fifth day a telegram was delivered at the young lawyer's office. "Wife's body forwarded this morning." The signature was a scrawl, but the message was enough to chill the very marrow of that young husband's bones. It had been sent from New York. He saw, in his mind's eye, -his dainty little wife running up to town for a day's shopping. He thought of the frightful heat. He knew just how it had all come about, and, with horror-stricken face, he dashed out Into the street, and fairly ran to the house of his wife's sister to acquaint her with the frightful news. He was past speech when he reached the house, but he held out the fatal telegram. The sister read It: ''Well," said she, "Its time he sent It. She's been expecting It for six weeks. It's the one that goes with the pink chiffon skirt, I suppose."?Washington Post. IT SAVES THE BOYS. x , The best argument I have found in Maine for prohibition was by an editor of a paper in Portland, that was for political reasons, mildly opposed to It. I had a conversation with hlrn that ran something like this: "Where were you born?" "In a little village abou 60 miles from Bangor." "Do you remember the conditions of things In your village prior to prohibition?" "Distinctly; there was a vast amount of drunkenness, and consequently disorder a,nd poverty." "What was the effect of prohibi- ! tion?" "It shut up all the rum-shops, and practically banished liquor from that village; it became one of the most quiet and prosperous places on the globe". "How long did you live In the village kfter prohibition?" "Eleven years, or until I was 21 years of age." "Then?" "Then I went to Bangor." "Do you drink now?" "I have never tasted a drop of whisky in my life." "Why?" "Up to the age of 21 I never saw It, and after that I did not care to take on the habit." I That is all there Is In It. If the boys ' of the country are not exposed to ine Infernalism, the men are very sure not . to be. This man and his schoolmates were saved from rum by the fact that they could not get it until they were old enough to know better. Few men jj are drunkards who knew not the poison . till after they were 21. It is the youth the whisky and beer men want? North American Review.
