A WONttBRFUlJ,* Stupid Dad.?The
coroner of a certain town in central
Pennsylvania was once called upon to
hold an inquest over the remains of a
Hungarian laborer.
The only witness was a lad of the
same nationality, who spoke no English.
"Where do you live, boy?" was the
first question of the coroner.
The boy shook his head.
"Do you speak English ?" next came
from the coroner.
Again the boy shook his head.
"Do you. speak German?"
?i?- boooHvo from the lad.
sun anuiuci ucguuiv ?
"Do you speak French?" was the
next interrogatory.
For the third time the boy shook his
head.
"How old are you?"
No reply from the witness.
Then, after a pause, the coroner asked:
"Do you speak Italian?"
The lad remained silent.
"It ain't no use," observed the coroner,
turning to those in the room.
"I've questioned this here witness in
four languages and can't get no answer.
The court is adjourned."?Harper's
Weekly.
On the Job.?a Baltimore man,
who was recently a passenger on a
Cunarder, tells of an incident of his
trip that led him to the conclusion
that your average seaman is not apt
to waste much thought on his personal
troubles.
This sailor had met with an accident
the second day out, the result of which
was a bad cut on the head. The Baltlmorean
was most solicitous in his
inquiries as to the seaman's welfare,
when he next suw the captain, and
would undoubtedly have continued his
sympathy had not a rough sea called
to mind his own sufferings.
Several days later, when he emerged,
white and weak, from his state room,
he suddenly remembered the poor
sailor. In the course of the day the
Baltimore man saw the man with a
strip of plaster on his forehead.
"How is your head?" he asked, sympathetically.
"West by south," was the reply.
Going Him Oxb Better.?An Amer
ican tourist on a visit to Glasgow, on ;
emerging from the railway station,
was accosted by a lad with a familiar
shout of "Carry your bag, sir?" The
gentleman handed the boy the bag and
requested to be shown through Glasgow.
Crossing George Square, they
came opposite to Sir Walter Scott's
monument, and the boy said proudly:
"That Is one of the largest monuments
in Scotland."
"Oh," said the Yankee, with an air
of indifference, "we have threepenny
cigars as big as that in America."
They got on a tramcar going east,
and Just as they alighted at the terminus
a long circular piece of iron on
a lorry drawn by twelve horses came
up the street. The American, in surprise,
asked what that was for. The
boy, remembering what the Yankee
had said about the cigars, and with a
resolve to be even with him replied:
"Oh, a new hotel has just been built
in the Trongate, and that is the kitchen
poker."?Tit-Bits.
Why He Brought His Knife.?
Whenever the penurious manager of
the large store wanted to sharpen his
pencil he would enter the shipping
department and borrow a knife from
one of the boys. Sometimes the boys
did not have their knives with them,
but there was one lad, Tommy Breen,
who always could be depended upon.
"How is it. Tommy?" asked the
manager one day as he whittled his
pencil, "that you always have your
knife with you, and the other boys
haven't?"
Tommy hesitated for a moment,
then gathering courage said:
"The wages I get aren't enough for
me to afford more than one pair of
pants."?Harpers' Weekly.
Couldn't Tell Whigh.?Smith had
come home later than usual, and had
ready a good explanation, but his wife
gave him no chance, and immediately
began to tell him what she thought of
him. He endured it patiently all evening,
quietly read his paper, and went
to bed. His wife was still talking.
When he was almost asleep he could
hear her still scolding mm unmercifully.
He finally dropped off to sleep,
and awoke, after a couple of hours,
only to hear his wife remark:
"I hope all the married women don't
have to put up with such conduct as
this."
"Annie." said Smith, "are you talking
again or yet?" ?Harper's Weekly.
Off the Track.?The first morning
the new teacher was at the village
school he taught a lesson in mental
arithmetic and gave the following example:
"If I had seven oranges and eleven
more are given me. then I give five
of them to a friend, how many oranges
have I left?"
The new teacher could not understand
the puzzled expression of the
children's faces or why he received no
answer, but thinking they must be
rather dull repeated the question. After
a little silence a small hand was
raised.
"Well, little boy. how many are left?"
"Please, sir." timidly replied the boy.
"we always do our sums with apples."
?Philadelphia Ledger.
Didn't Wish to Intbrrcpt.?A husband
was being arraigned in court In
a suit brought by his wire for cruelty.
"I understand, sir," said the judge,
addressing the husband, "that one of
the Indignities that you have showered
upon your wife is that you have not
spoken to her for three years. Is that
so?"
"It is, your honor." quickly answered
the husband.
"Well, sir." thundered the judge,
"Why didn't you speak to her, may I
ask ?"
"Simply." replied the husband, "because
1 didn't want to interrupt her."
A Fast Train.?On the Riviera line
In Italy the train, after ambling gently
along, stopped suddenly. An impatient
passenger put his head out and asked
crustily. "Is this Bordlghera?" No
answer. "Guard, is this Bordlghera?"
he shouted again.
A voice came from the fore part of

When the cow had been removed
from the line the train ambled on
again. Two minutes later it once more
came to a dead stop.
"Another cow. I suppose?" shouted
the testy passenger witheringly. "No

placidly. "It is the same cow."

ONLY WOMEN BULLFIGHTERS.
iroup Who Give Exhibitions In the
Barcelona Ring.
Women appear to have invaded evry
known calling of man from steeilejack
to deep sea diver; yet it will
ie news to most to hear that there is
, Cuadrilla of lady bullfighters in Bar
elona?the only troupe 01 us kiiiu m
he peninsula. The writer came upon i
hem rehearsing one afternoon in the i
Teat silent bull ring at Barcelona, uner
the superintendence of their busiiess
manager, Senor Totti. Totti had
indoubtedly struck a gold mine in his (
uadrilla de senoritas toreras, or group
f woman bullfighters.
They have now been at work four or
Ive years, and have performed not 1
nly all over Spain but also in France '
nd South America. In this as in oth- '
r matters the work of innovation was '
Ufflcult. Spain's principal matadors '
ingallantly sought to drown the lady 1
lullflghters with ridicule, but without '
uccess. Even their practice in the '
mpty arena was enough to draw a 1
rowd; and Senorita Lolita, the first '
f the two matadoras, is as skillful a 1
iand With the deadly short sword as 1
ny crack espada from San Sebastian '
r> Algeciras.
Lolita was capering about and trying
o plunge the regulation sword into a 1
iiummy made from a large pair of ,
eal bull's horns surmounting a woodn
face roughly painted with tar, and
domed with two ferocious white eyes. |
lis back was a wooden plank in which j
ras a square hole two inches across, j
ituated Just where the most vulner- ^
ble point would be in the real animal, j
nd where a good matador always ]
ries to'strike. This imitation bull was ,
nounted on a kind of gocart, and was j
rundled about rapidly and In as real- ,
stic a manner as possible by a youth,
rhile Lolita did her best to drive the
lullfighting sword straight Into the
lole.
She was wearing skirts during this
iractlce, but when in the arena Lolita
nd her comrades in arms put on the
egulation dress of the male bullflghtr.
These women toreadors occasion,lly
meet with serious injury. Lolita's
lark face bears a long white scar
tretehing from mouth to ear. She
ras terribly gored at Saragossa last
ear, and nearly lost her life.
"It was my fault," she said, "for I
et my capa fall just when I needed
t most. You may be sure," she told
ne, "I need all my nerve to deal a
rood clean blow at the end. and my
rreatest safeguard lies in always
;eeping as cool as possible."
Both Lolita and Angelita, the other
natadora, are from Catalonia, and
ike most Soanish girls were enthusi
stic followers of bullfighting from|
arliest childhood. They often sighed
hat they were not boys and regretted
leing precluded from taking up the
Lational sport. One of the girls in the
uadrilla comes of a family of toreros,
ler brother is a very expert man in
he bullring, and the girl herself was
arly initiated into the dangers of the
rena.
It is a profession which must be
aken up young, while the Joints are
till supple. All the men who are good
t it show what they are made of beore
they are twenty. Liolita began at
ixteen. and her sister principal a'
eventeen. At present these women
lullfighters content themselves with
idling two-year-old bulls, and so far
heir manager has deemed it imprudent
o allow his charges to tackle the bulls
if six or seven years.
At the same time, the women perorm
many feats not attempted by the
aen. There is. for instance, the busness
of jumping over the bull's back
>y means of a pole and both "leading
adies" tackle the bull on horseback
cith a long lance.
Senor Totti himself superintends the
iraotice in the empty arena, placing
he girls in strategic positions, while
he young man with the wheeled dumny
runs hither and thither, first at
>ne and at another. If one of the cuadIrilla
is inattentive to the performance
he master of ceremonies rebukes her
everely.
After this practice has gone on for
lalf an hour or so an exhibition of
>ole jumping is given, and this conludes
the day's exercise. Next day,
t may be. the lady bullfighters give a
eal exhibition and attract the whole
own. Thousands turn out who would '
lot in the ordinary way attend a builight,
and bets are made as to the
bility of the respective matadoras. In <
tearly all respects the corrida of these
lomen bullfighters is the same as that
if the men. and the time honored state i
ntry, strategic distribution of forces 1
>ver the arena, entry of the bull and |
niseellaneous play thereafter are all i
losely followed. '
Naturally now and tlien one of the ]
rirls grows timid before an unusually ,
letermined charge and takes to her <
leels with a stifled scream. The audi- '
tice roars with laughter, even though ,
ler life may be in serious danger. |
Truth to tell, however, these young ]
lulls, known as novillos, have little of I
he true fighting spirit.
The pay of the women is very small ]
is compared with that of the first rate
nale bullfighter. Lolita herself seldom 1
eceives more than $30 for killing six !
oung bulls, while the rest of the
roupe account themselves luckly if
hey get $5 for their share of the enertninment.

promise of the future for aerial navigation.
The Netherlands parliament
has been considering a bill which, If
passed, will forbid any kind of airship

than this, however, Is contemplated.

penalty of the law. And, of course, if
the offender refuses to obey, and is
caught later on somewhere else, the
sentence will be considerably increased.
A case which has just been decided
In the New York court of appeals,
which is the highest judicial tribunal
In that state, relating to the unauthorized
stringing of telephone or telegraph
wires over property, is of Interest
to every householder, Inasmuch as
the court decided it is illegal for the
wires to pass over a property no matter
what the height and no matter
what they are supported on the property
or simply strung across or whethre
the property has buildings on it or
Is unimproved.
The action In which this decision was
rendered was an ejectment suit which
the court affirmed as being a proper
proceeding under tne circumstances,
it was held that the space above land
Is real estate the same as land Itself,
tjie law regarding it as Inseparable
Trom the soil and protecting it from
hostile occupation accordingly.
Tl*? smal'ness of the wire was held
not to affect the principle, which Is
that the owner of the real estate owns
the space occupied by the wire and has
the right to an exclusive possession of
that space as a part of his land.
It Is stated that this Is the first time
the question has been before a superior
court for decision.
BUILT BY UNSEEN HANDS.
Jewish Legend of Solomon and the
House of the Lord,
"So that there was neither hammer
nor ax nor any other tool of Iron
neard In the house while it was bulldng"
(I Kings vi, 7). The above is a
Scriptural quotation, to be found at
the citation given, and Is concerning
the building of Solomon's temple. The
reason therein assigned for the perfect
luietude which existed In and about
the great building while it was In
:ourse of erection is that the stones
ind timbers were all made ready before
being brought to the site of the
?reat building. Heber beautifully alludes
to this in the little couplet, In
tvhich he says:
No hammer fell, no ponderous axes
rung,
Like some tall palm the mystic fabric
sprung.
The Jews have a legend to the effect
that Solomon did not employ men In
building the great "house of the
Lord," but that he was aided in the
jigantic undertaking by the genii.
Having a premonition that he would
not live to see the building finished,
Solomon prayed to God that his death
might be concealed from the genii until
the structure was finished. ImResp(

In A Nutshell"
I could give a dozen or more reasons
why every Individual seeking life insurance
should at least consider what
the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance
Company of Newark, N. J., has to offer,
but the statement would necessarily
occupy considerable space and besides
many of the reasons, while valid,
would be technical and not of interest
to the layman, and all of them
combined would only emphasize the
one point in which every man who
buys life insurance should be interested,
and that is that the company is in
a class all by itself when its record of
fair and honorable dealing with every
policy holder who has been insured in
It from the day it commenced business
In 184a up to date is considered, or
where its policy contracts are compared

all other companies. In a nutshell the

upon this he died, standing bolt upright
In the unfinished temple.
Those who saw him thought that he

The Finest Country In the World.
A globe-trotting journalist of renown
has written a tourist catechism
in a German paper in which he sets
forth his observations on the countries
and the people he has visited. - His
answers are ingenious, and they may
be correct; but they would seem to
convict him of being a Swede. We
quote the following:
"Where do you find the most comfortable
passenger trains?"
"In Russia."
"But where are they kept in the best
condition?"
"In Sweden."
"Where is the railroad traffic managed
with the least noise?"
"Tn England."
"Where do you find the heat railroad
restaurants?"
"In Sweden."
"Where are the most comfortable
steamboats for longer voyages to be
found?"
"In Germany and England."
"Where do you find the finest and
best arranged steamboats for shorter
trips-?"
"In Sweden."
"Where are the finest restaurants and
cafes for moderate prices?"
"In Copenhagen and Stockholm."
"Where are the best automatic restaurants?"
"In Stockholm."
"Where are the worst quick lunches?"
"In America, particularly in Boston."
"Where are the finest bath houses?"
"In Germany, Austria and Sweden."
"Where do you find the truest politeness
and dignity among the peoI
pie generally?"
"In Sweden, particularly In StockI
holm."
"Where the opposite?"
"In Italy."
"Where do you find the most polite
and well-bred children?"
"In Sweden, Norway and Denmark."
"Where the opposite?"
"In Italy, Little Italy, but particularly
in South Boston."
"Where do the young men have the
finest figures and the handsomest features
?"
"In Italy and Sweden, particularly in
Stockholm."
"Where are the handsomest women
