I tumorous Department. The Awful Thing. In the old days, when Boston, thmngh tier "plain living and high thinking." was earning the laudatory titles that have clung to her ever since, a certain woman of advanced intellect and character, who may be called Miss Elizabeth Amory Pelham, came into town from one of the suburbs to hear a lecture on an abstruse topic. Her friend and schoolmate. Mrs. Wellman. who was a brusque, lovable body, neither intellectual nor ambitious of being thought so, also went to the lecture, chiefly because everybody else was going. About 9 o'clock there came up a storm so violent that the lecturer and his audience had to go home in a deluge, Miss Pelham stood in the vestibule of the hall, talking to Mrs. Wellman and lamenting that she must drive home that night, especially as she had to be in Boston early the next day to give a talk on physical culture. "Why do you go?" asked Mrs. Wellman. "Come round and stay with me." "But you're crowded," objected Miss Pelham. "You've just been saying your house is full." "Oh, so it is, in a way; but I'll put you in Lavinia's bed. She's only 9, you know, and not very big, and she's been sound asleep now for hours. She won't know you're there till morning." Her friend accepted gratefully and in due time crept into bed with L#.? vinia. The next morning, while Mrs. Wellman, who was destitute of "help," stood coaxing her kitchen fire, a little white figure flew into the room and launched itself upon her. ' It was Lavinia, no longer asleep. "Oh, mother," she gasped, "there's something dreadful in my room! It's tall and big, and it's got great long -i? wavin? ihem and waving them over its head, just like a windmill, and it's awful!" Mrs. Wellman pushed her away, and shot a sulky damper into place. "Go right along back and get dressed!" she commanded. 'That's nothing but Elizabeth Amory Pelham taking her physical exercises."?Youth's Companion. Slow Goi.no?For an amkricax.? A traveler returned from Jaffa tells this tale at his own expense. Having journeyed to the historical seaport on his way to Jerusalem, he succeeded in hiring a conveyance to carry him to the station. By speech and gesture he informed the native driver that he wished to be carried in a leisurely, sightseeing fashion through as many as possible of the principal thoroughfares of Jaffa and to be delivered at the terminal just in time to take the outgoing train. He had no sooner seated himself in the vehicle, however, than the driver whipped up his horse and whirled the dismayed traveler at a furious pace through all the dust and over all the stones of the notoriously rough streets of Jaffa The passenger was too busily employed in saving his bones to be able to see anything of the interesting town. Arriving at the station he found that ht still had two hours to wait. "Why in the world." he demanded indignantly, "did you ever hurry like] that?" "You American," responded the driver with an expressive shrug. "All American like go very much fast."? Youth's Companion. Blindness and the dim my.?A A bespectacled old gentleman who had wandered into a department store downtown several days ago approached a floor walker and with an irate look in his nearsighted eyes said: "I want to know why you don't discipline your young ladies." The floor walker was slightly puzzled. "Discipline them?" he asked. "I don't quite understand. What for?" "You see that young lady over there?" explained the old gentleman pointing in the direction of a demure cloak model. The floor walker immediately saw the object, but said nothing. and retained a wonderful gravity of expression. I aulroH hfii- t.\ ohfivv th#? \V>1 V to the shoe shoe department," continued the old gentleman, "and she only smiled. Wouldn't even answer. It's disgraceful!" The floor walker said something about "attenting to the dummy" and choked back a tear while he reverently led the customer to the shoe department.?Washington Star. Everybody Pay Up.?A negro preacher, whose supply of hominy and bacon was running low. decided to take radical steps to impress upon his flock the necessity of contributing liberally to the church exchequer. Accordingly. at the close of the sermon he made an impressive pause, and then proceeded as follows: "I hab found it necessary, on account ob de astringency <?b de hard times and the gineral deficiency ob de cireulatin' mejum in connection wid dis church, t' interduce me new ottermatic e'lection box.

Lantern, May 1: Mrs. Pet Butler and her little son Chalmers, who have been spending some time in Lancaster with the family of her sister, the late Mrs. T. C. Hicks, were in the city yesterday afternoon enroute from Yorkvllle . to Winnsboro on a short visit to her father, Mr. J. C. Mackorell. From . there she will so to Hartsville, where she will keep house for her cousin. Mr. Robert P. Mackorell Rev. OH- ' ver Johnson and family passed through Wednesday afternoon on their way to Lewisville on a visit to Mr. I. X. * Whiteside's family. They returned this morning and Mr. Johnson went 1 back to I^esslie to get ready to move, and Mrs. Johnson and the children went to Leesville to spend a while with relatives A final effort by I Attomey Xewbold before the supreme * lr.r?iirt secure a new trial for Ous ' Lee, on the plea of after discovered evidence, failed, and it remains for the sentence of the court to be executed next Friday, the Sth Mr. W. L. Walker, one of the most prominent citizens of the Edgmoor neighborhood suffered a severe stroke of paralysis Tuesday afternoon. His right side is affected and he is in a very critical condition. He is conscious only at intervals. He was a little better early this morning, but later was not doing so well Don't let mosquitoes bite you. Most of all. don't let them bite the children. These pests sail around laden with malaria and equipped with hypodermic syringes. When one lights upon a human being it immediately goes to work. It inserts its syringe and discharges a jet of the malaria poison into the small blood vessels, through which it is carried to the heart, where it is poured into the foun-, tain of life and sent out to all parts of the body. By the way. it will be noticed that the mosquito nearly always selects a spot on the body where the little blood vessels are near the surface and very numerous. It Is blood that the villian(ess) is after, but why she must exchange for it a fluid that is not only useless but deadly we are unable to explain any more than we can tell why she does not carry along a little sac of cocaine to apply before she begins her probing. The doctors will have to tell us, for we do not know, how many injections are sufficient to induce a chill, but we suppose that the poison from a single bite does its part toward impregnating the system with the germs of malaria, and it seems that once there is sufficient infusion of the poison to upset the vital organs in the discharge of their functions it reproduces itself, possibly degenerating in some degree. Quinine and such remedies administered at the right time kill off one crop of the little internal enemies but another is always coming on. A physician who was at the head of his profession. in another state, once told us that he could warrant any person's contracting a case of malarial fever by simply crossing a certain stream, with its adjacent lowlands, one time at night. But he thought that the poison was inhaled with the air that was breathed, forgetting that it was the same air which floated over the neighboring hills in the salubrious breezes that murmured among the pines, and never dreaming that the pesky insects which swarmed around him were inflicting any greater injury than making him miserable for the time. Now, thanks to the progress of medical science, we know?at least the doctors tell us we know?that malaria cannot enter the system through the lungs, that it is introduced only through the slender proboscis of the mosquito, a certain kind of mosquito at that, and?with apologies to her sex?the female only. It is safest, however, to assume that all the harmless mosquitoes are the dead ones. Having determined definitely then olona molarin iw in t l'riililPPd intil the system, we have made great prog- < ress in preparation for fighting the " p'ague successfully, and the advice to 1 be given is reduced to this simple in- 1 junction: Don't let mosquitoes bite '< you. Do you ask. how shall we obey i this? We answer, first, exterminate the i mosquito: second, in the meantime, 1 avoid them or ward them off. The i ways and means for accomplishing this i belong to another chapter, which we < wish others would help us to write. 1 m ? ( WIDOW WOMAN. 1 I An Expression Which Has Existed For j Centuries In Our Speech. i Numerous indeed are the motives which have led and still lead men to ] resort to expletives. Certain of those < now in use contain little more than a I repetition of the same idea expressed ] by two different words. A part of the i compound has become obsolete or ar- ] chaic: hence it needs or needed to j have its meaning strengthened. Duke, j for instance, meant "tepid." But as i it came to be somewhat unfamiliar . the sense was brought out with preci- ( sion by adding to it "warm." Different from this, though possibly allied to it, may be the attributive use of "widow" in the expression j "widow woman." The second word of the combination is clearly unnecessary. But it may not have been always so. The difference of the final vowel in the original Anglo-Saxon i words constituted the sole distinction j between "widuwa," a "widower," and i "widuwe," a "widow." When the < leveling processes that went on after i the conquest gave to both these words I the same ending, "e." a natural way s to fix definitely the idea of femininity. < before "er" was added to create the 1 masculine form, would be to append 1 "woman" to the common word. If I this were so it would be almost inevi- I table that the combination would survive long after the necessity for it j had disappeared. 1 However this may be. the expres- > sion has subsisted for centuries in I our speech. When in our version of i the Bible the woman of Tekoah tells ' King David. "I am indeed a widow t woman, and mine husband is dead," t we are supplied in the same short sentence with illustrations of two i different sorts of expletives. For the ( one the original Hebrew is necessarily 1 responsible and for the other the six- ( teenth century translators. The Wy- r clifite version of the fourteenth cen- ; tury had "woman widow." w Hut whatever the origin the expression has come down to the present 1 time. Nor is it confined, as is often t asserted, to colloquial speech. To cite ^ one instance out of many, it is used in "Barnaby Iiudge." by Dickens. ' when speaking in his own person. "To c find this widow woman." he says, t "linked mysteriously with an ill omened man, was a discovery that pained as much as startled him."? Thomas R. I.ounsbury in Harper's. r A GLASS WORKS. i 3ow Bottles Are Made?Freaks of the Blowpipe. If a stranger enters the glass works I >n a dark night he will find not only icauty in the blowing operations, but < i groat deal of humor, with an uncanly weirdness in flame and shadow that : nust affect his imagination to some i 'Xtent. The building Is circular, with i i chimney sticking up through the i niddle of it, from the top of which a l leculiar intermittent light is llickerng. In the centre of this building, ..^/lA..?onth nViimnAv ctnnils :i ffill-i limn iirnm mv \ cal furnace of brick containing, per- i laps, no fewer than eight lioles which tre like fiercely glaring suns, and rom which pour expanding broad rays )f orange-colored light. If your eyes tre strong enough to look through the < loles from which the orange beams )f light emerge, you see several hun1 red weight of molten metal shining til very green is as many earthen-dome shaped melting pots. The nature of different kinds of rlass is dependent upon the quality ; >f the raw material called "batch" put nto the melting-pots. "Patch" is a nixture of such materials as Calais (and, or common river sand aboundng in silica, salt-cake, or sodium carlonate, and much lime. Blue colors nay be obtained by adding oxide of :obalt, green by means of a chromie, ilack by manganese and amber. The nass of molten metal got from this jpaque, earthy-looking "batch" has frequently to be skimmed of impuri:ies; but it is, nevertheless, a problem whence ?omes that wonderful and enluring transparency which everybody ikes to see in glass. Until the hour strikes for the workmen to commence operations you may ind them experimenting for amusement or profit with the blowpipe. It i 11 nut be a blowing-match for beer Lo slake the thirst of these men. You will see many an enormity produced in ijlass, the like of which can scarcely 5\*er have been dropped from a puntil before. Specimens are blown out to the thinness of a tissue paper bag, which another puff of wind explodes with a crack; or a glowing glass pear s, for very wantonness, knocked off the puntil so that it may vanish with i report on the floor, its hue and heat being extinguished immediately. The floor all around the furnace-chamber is covered with brittle shining splinters and particles of glass, which crackle underfoot at every step. One jf the men may bring you a mass of metal on a blowpipe and ask you to ixpend a few cheekfuls of wind upon it. The pipe takes no more blowing than a trombone, though it lacks a mouthpiece and you may expand the aubble until it is black and cold, so fragile that it will break into a myriad jf pieces if you touch it The molten mass is so ductile that it may be spun 5Ut into a thread, and the men often vie with each other to see who can make the longest and thinnest strand. At the signal to commence work the J? ?1 Hen, aireauy parity smppcu iu <.nv tvaist, poke their four-foot blowpipe :hrough the hole of the crucible opposite to which they work, twisting it round until it has taken up sufficient 3f the ropy and viscid glass for one 9ottle. The man who is clever at his tvork will, of course, gather up neither too much nor too little for the :hickness of the bottle required; he :an tell without looking through the furnace holes when he has enough by ;he weight added to his pipe. Thus, ill around the fiery furnace there are igures moving continually across the urid light, most of them dexterously Yielding their blowpipes, and balancng at the end of each one the exact juantity of vitrified matter to make a Dottle. The amateur would find it lifficult to balance the molten mass; :he chances are that it would drop on he floor, never to be picked up again. At the same moment you will see jottles in all stages of growth, some flittering gold, others cooling down to mange or red; some in the forms of Plummets or dazzling pears, dthers as ncandescent bosses threatening to become fragile bladders. It is all as :harming as a pyrotechnic display, vrwn n-m mo thr> hinrk blow nine ;wirled round, blown down, held up ike a gun barrel, then, in the form of in incandescent lamp-globe turned "ound on a beeswaxed cast-iron implenert called a marler, on whose edge he bottle neck is formed. It is held jp once more, blown into, then shut up n a cast iron mould placed at the jperator's feet somewhat below the evel of the ground. This mould is npened and closed by a wire spring, A hich the operator presses with his .'eet, and directly the red hot bottle is nclosed he blows down the pipe once more, so as to fill it completely. A man goes round from mould to mould, inserting a rod into the neck of ?ach bottle, and collecting up a trayful to go to the annealing chamber. Here the bottles are stacked up for a gradual cooling process which may possibly last thirty-six hours. This ?ives them the desired strength. The annealing process is a cure for their natural fragility, and enables them to stand the test of boiling water.?Lonlon Globe. SENATORS WHO ARE CHUMS. Feuds Between Members From Some States?Story of Edmunds and Thurman. United States senators often become irery good friends, but somehow they ire not prone to becoming real chummy with one another. Exceptions oc2ur from time to time to prove the ule. One of those exceptions applies <-? <otmini* Philander Knox of Penn tylvania and Senator \V. Murray Crane >f Massachusetts. If the afternoon vanes without their meeting one is t'ery likely to start out to see where he other is and to learn what has Happened. The fondness that Senators Crane ind Knox evince for eating together is eminiscent of the fondness that exSenator Kdmunds of Vermont and the ate Senator Allen (I. Thurman of Ohio jsed to have for drinking together. That was in the earlier days, when irinking at the capital was not frown;d upon. All the oldsters in political Washngton are fond of recalling that story >f how the two senators kept a black jottle in the room of the committee >11 judiciary. They were certain to idjourn there twice or thrice every ifternoon that the senate held a long session. It was at first a marvel why he two men seemed to have the same bought at the same moment and hetan to make tracks simultaneously mm different parts of the senate hamber?one being a democrat and he other a republican?toward that ommittee room. It turned out that they had prearanged signals. The (Hid Roman's sig rial was to pull out that famous red bandanna handkerchief and to blow his hose with clarion loudness. When William K. Chandler was in the senate there were long Intervals when he and Senator Gallinger were entirely oblivious of one another's presence. They fought and made up again and again. The two Maine senators, Hale and Prye, have always maintained amicable relations, but there has been little love lost between them. They work together but train with entirely different contingents in the senate. When Senator Raynor of Maryland was sworn In he was hardly on speaking terms with the late Senator Gorman. Generally the two senators from a state come from different factions or fallowings, as is the case with Senators Kittredge?whose parents still live in his native state of New Hampshire?and Gamble of South Dakota, who have a personal feud. But there is a long list of states whose senators are alienated to a greater or less degree by rivalries or jealousies or open quarrels. These are so numerous as to be regarded almost commonplace around the capitol. While there are comparatively few instances where senators have been real chummy, especialy where senators (ho uama utiitf. hnun r?ntnvn/l ?iir?h ^ close personal relations, there are many where they have differed hotly. These differences are generally denied by both parties, but sometimes become open nnd well known. For example, the present senators from Texas? Baily and Culb^rtson?do not speak as they pass by. Vice-President Fairbanks when a senator, and his colleague, Senator Beveridge, lived a cat and dog political existence. Outwardly they were friendly, but they had frequent whirls in committee rooms. Senator Foraker and the late Senator Hanna were hardly on speaking terms. ELEPHANT TRAVEL. An Uncomfortable and Perilous Trip In Howdah. There were two elephants at our disposal, the interpreter and I rode the first, each occupying half of the howdah. The howdah has a peculiar and objectionable habit of nearly succeeding In cutting your legs in two. If you hang your legs outside you may pad the edge as much as you like, but if you are new to the game you will wake in about half an hour from an uneasy doze with the painful conviction that the lower halves of your legs have dropped off. On squirming up into a position from which you can view the outside world you will see they are still dangling there, but with an irresponsibility which suggests that they have been frayed through t<? the last shred. Abnormal efforts allow you to drag them safely inside, and you think it will be better in future to keep them there. The elephant is almost as tine a vehicle to see the surrounding country from as a London bus, and there is a considerable element of excitement in this progression. The elephant I rode had a fatal habit when it came to a river bank or bit of rough ground of looking around and picking out what seemed the worst bit he could see. Down one side of a river it seemed as if he was engaged in trying to stand on his head, and I could look out of the howdah, although I was lying therein, and observe the fishes darting over the stones in the water, just under my lord's noble forehead. More than once on these journeys the beast would patiently slouch through the trees and bushes off the track in search of something edible quite regardless of the fact that the branches threatened to sweep howdah and everything else over the stern. But one of the most peculiar sensations was when they took it into their heads to have a scratch against the telegraph poles. It would be a wonderful line which could withstand the solid work the elephant expects its i.. *-orirl u?hnn fho Mn Jllisin IU Wl I } V'Ul, auu ?> >. a urn 2 beast leaned too hard and the post snapped I could almost see the mild and somewhat indignant surprise reflected from one intelligent face to the other.?Singapore Free Fress. Tiik Cz ak's Thuones.?Emperor Nicholas of Russia has many thrones. The three chief ones are those at the imperial palace and the winter palace at St. Petersburg, and in the Kremlin at Moscow. This last was a present to the Czar Alexis in 1660 from the shah of Persia. It is entirely covered with thick plates of gold set with pre- ' cious stones and alternating with plaque of ivory, chiselled in high relief. The fact and date of the presentation are recorded in an inscription on the back of the throne. Just above are glistening double-headed eagles of Russia, with angels on either side supporting the imperial crown. In the imperial palace at St. Petersburg the throne stands in an alcove of the marble throne with a wide stretching canopy with thick gold cords and deep fringes of gold embroidery. On the curtains behind are embroidered the arms of the Romanoffs surmounted by the crown, with a curious starshaped border all around. Three wide steps lead up to the throne.?Chicago News.
