A Search That Brought No Joy to Am bitlous Gertie. -Father/* ?aid Gertie mournful ly, "we never eau climb into society just as plain Smiths, though we ina} date back .to the days of Peter Stuyvesant. Can't you think of sollie other old family name which ve may tack on to Smith with a hy phen?" The head of the family smoked introspectively for a few minutes, then replied: "I have a vague idea, Gertie, that my great-grandfather was a Brander. Now, that isn't such a bad name, and, if 1 don't mis take, it cuts some figure in the Knickerbocker set." "Jolly, father!" exclaimed Gertie enthusiastically. . "Smith-Brander or Brander-Smith would look too lovely for anything on a visiting card. Now, father, I want you to go right to work end find out just who Great-grandfather Brander was." The head of tho family worked diligently though vainly for several days on odd volumes of genealogical history and was about to give up in despair when a happy idea occurred to him. 'Til try the Historical so ciety." And suiting tho action to the "inspiration he spent the entire day over musty cid tomes and an cient records in the cheerless rooms of thc society. That evening as he was smoking, with a faraway look in his eyes, his daughter swooped down on him and exclaimed in one breath, "Oh, fa ther, have you found out who great grandfather was?" "Yea, I have learned the complete history of my ancestor," replied pa terfamilias wearily. "However, he was not a Brander, but a brander, I mean by that that he was a brand er with a little 'b,' in the employ of the court of general quarter ses sions, and his sole occupation was branding criminals. My great grandfather's name was Mulligan.' -New York Sun. Origin of Memorial Day In the South. An association known as the La dies' Ai<? society was organized in 1861 for looking after soldiers who died in Columbus hospitals. They were buried under tho direction of these ladies, who thereafter took charge of their graves, making it a practice to go in a body to care for and beautify them with plants and flowers.. Upon tho occasion of one of these visits, in January, 18GG, Miss lizzie Rutherford, a member of the society, made the suggestion that a specified day should be adopt ed upon which a memorial service should be held for the purpose of decorating the Confederate graves annually. The proposition met at once with the greatest favor, and a letter was addressed to each of the chapters in other cities and towns suggesting similar action on their part. ' These letters were written in March, 1866, and from their publi cation resulted the observance of April 26 as Memorial day for the Confederate dead in several south ern states.-Mrs. V. Jefferson Da vis in Woman's Home Companion. He Bought the Sermon. The Eev. Septimus Smith was many years ago $car ot St. Cross, Newnham. He made no secret at all of his habit of buying ready made sermons any more than his fondness for old port and of whist playing with leading parishioners until mid night of every Saturday. He was a lr idly natured, easy going man and w is popular among his equally easy going flock. One Sunday morning on going into tho vestry after serv ice ho found his old clerk in tears. "What's tho matter, Jones?" in quired tho vicar. "Oh, sir," replied the clerk, "this is a painful surpriso to ns alli" "Surprise, Jones? Wnni clo you mean ?" <fYour sermon, this morning, sir. Wo are very, very sorry, and you gave us no warning.'*' "Sermon, Jones, .sermon? What do you mean, man?" "Why, sir, your farewell sermon. We are all dread fully cut up." . And it is. quito true that that morning the'Hey. Mr. Smith had ac tually read an old farewell sermon without either intending or know ing it.-London Spectator. CASTOR! A Fdr Infants and Children.

Hew They Aro Made, ?nd Why They Do Not Burn. Probably no ono who has seen the filmy white mantle that hangs about the flame of the np to date gaslight has failed to wonder of what mate rial thia noncombustible affair is made. It looks s o like tissue paper that, despite reason, one almost ex pects it to flash up in flame at any moment. It is made of an ash consisting mainly of the oxides of certain rare metals. These metals are lantha num, yttrium, zirconium and oth ers, which aro rendered incandes cent by heating to a high tempera ture. A six cord cotton thread is wo ven on a knitting machine into a tube of knitted fabric of a rather upen mesh. This web has the grease and dirt thoroughly washed out of it, is dried and is cut into lengths double that required for a bingie mantle. It is then saturated in a solution containing the req uisito oxides, wrung out, stretched over spools and dried. Next the double length pieces are cut into two, the top of each piece is doubled back and. sewed with a platinum wire, which diuws the top in and and provides a means of supporting the mantle when finished from the wiro holder. After stretching the mantle over a form, smoothing it down and fas tening, thc platinum wire to tho wire mantle holder the mantle is bumed out by touching a Bunsen burner to the top. The cotton burns off slowly, leaving a skeleton mantle of metallic oxides, which preserves the exact shape and detail of every cotton fiber. The ?oft ox ides are then hardened in a Bunsen flame. A stronger mantle is made upon lacemaking machinery.-Exchange Strange Reciprocity. What do you think of an alliance between a plant and an ant. a verita ble reciprocal treaty whereby the plant furnishes food for the ant and the ant furnishes protection for thc plant? This is an actual existing relation in Australia, where a small, pugnacious ant and the bull's horn thorn live together under real ly remarkable conditions. But for the plant the ont would be without food, and but for the ant the plant would bo destroyed by several varieties of insects that at tack its leaves. The reciprocal plan and agree ment are this : The thora at the end of each leaf has a pair of hollow horns, around which is secreted a substance fitted for food for the ant and which is renewed by the plant as rapidly as it is consumed. lu these horns the ant lives and finds his natural nourishment within eas} reach. He objects emphatically to thc presence of other insects, and as soon as any of the little enemies ol the plant alight on the leaf whicl he has pre-empted he darts fron his home in the thorn and make; such- a fierce attack on the intrude] that he is glad to make a hurried es cape or else loses his life in the at tempt to hold his position. Ends of Counterfeit Bills. At a down town bank the othei day I saw a teller counting a pile oi bills, each one of which was upside down. "Why do you hold them that way?" I asked. "So as to view their left endi rather then their right ends," h< answered. "It is. natural to hold i ?iile of bills with your left hand anc o turn them back with the righ hand as you count. Counterfeiter! know1 this, and so they are mon careful with the work at the righ hand end of the face. First imprcs sions go a great way in judging o money, so they try to make it as fa vorable as possible. Of course, th safe way is to carefully examine al portions of a bill, but when counting rapidly I use this method."-Ne\ York Herald. Their Family 81 Iver.

THE MEDICINE HABIT. ! -, It Zs Easy to Acquire and Very Hard to Break. "Did you ever acquire the medi cine habit?" asked the drug clerk. "Ifs easy to acquire and hard to break, and lots of people have it. lt is quite immaterial what kind of medicine they take, but they must bo taking something practically all the time. Some doctors thrive on this human failing, and it helps the patent medicine manufacturers to get rich, It also throws quite a bit of business in the way of tho drug gist aside from that which comes from filling prescriptions, for in some instances if a man paid doc tors' bills he wouldn't have enough money left to satisfy Iiis craving for medicine. I had one of that kind in here awhile ago. " liook at my tongue/ ho said. " 'It isn't a very good one/ I re plied. "'WW /Ir? *r?t. *1,:?1- T?J ?ja?** do ?' he a?ked. " 'You might get another/ I sug gested. 'It couldn't bo much worse/ " 'Oh, quit your fooling/ he re torted, for you can't discourage one of that kind. 'Something ought to be done about that tongue.' " *Yes/ I admitted; 'it would do no harm to have it scraped, I think.' "But I couldn't feaze him. That tongue convinced him that he was sick, and he insisted that I should give him something. So I did. It was quite harmless and cheap, and it did him a world of good. He told me so himself when he came back for some more, and up to date, ac cording to my estimates, he has tak en about two gallons of it. I have tried to break him of this medicine habit by advising him to see a doc tor, but he Bcorns the advice. He saw one once, he said, and was told there was nothing tho matter with him. But he wouldn't be happy il ho wasn't taking something, so Iii came to me. And there are lots like him.''-Chicago Post. A DOO WITH A, BROKEN BONE. Tho long bones of the dog nn those which he is most liable t< break, or, rather, to have brokei for him, as the injuries are usuall; traceable to direct violence. Whei the parts of the broken bone an properly brought together, the re para ti ve process is almost always re markably rapid in the dog, becatis ho seems to understand that h must not interfere with the injurei limb and willingly keeps quiet. John Woodroffe Hill, the notei English veterinary surgeon and writer of authority on "The Dog Its Management and Diseases, says of fractures that "tho treat mont consists in reducing the sepa rated portions to their proper posi I tion and. maintaining them then when so reduced, by the applicatio: of spli its and bandages. Splint moy be composed of wood, paste board, leather or gutta percha, th first three of which are retained i position by bandaging, but the la; is made soft by hot water and the molded to the limb. To take th place of splints, bandages may I soaked in gum, starch or plaster c paris."-Our Animal Friends. POWER OB1 A SHAMAN. The implicit reliance placed upo the word of a shaman and his infli ence over a fellow tribesman ma be illustrated with this anecdote :. Sioux Indian who had lost a reit tive by death vowed to kill the fir* living thing he met. This was one not an uncommon practice arnon the Indians. ' Issuing from his lodge, he chan? ed to meet a missionary-a ma much beloved by all - .from whoi ' this Indian had received many fi ? vors. Unwilling, but bound by h j vow, he shot his benefactor as 1 j passed. Indian usage did not san j tion a bloody retribution on tl ? murderer, 6ince tho obligation of h I vow was recognized by all. I The shaman, however, upbraide him for his act and pronounced h . doom, saying, "You will die with; ; the year." I The Indian, though apparently well man at the time, was seized 1 & wasting disease and actually d j die within the specified time, a vi tim to his own superstitious imag nation. _ I TO BECOME FISH WISE.

JAPANESE CURIOSITY. j A Potent Faetor In the Modernizing of the Nation. A characteristic which has been potent in the modernizing of Japan is that of insatiable curiosity, an in tenso desire to see and understand anything new, says Anna N. Benja min in Ainslee's. While the Chinese attitude is that of contempt for any beings or institutions not evolved in China, tho Japanese are eager to know of everything connected with our form of civilization and to adopt it if it is good. Sometimes their great re ceptiveness and power of imitation and adoption lead them to adopt innovations which they afterward find it wiser to discard; hence the accusation of fickleness. A perusal o? Japanese history shows that the people have ever progressed by im pulses, by action and reaction, and that in the end good judgment seems to become supreme. The for eigner traveling in Japan is soon made aware of the quality of curios ity. On every railroad platform ho is surrounded by a crowd of people who, with their mouths ns wide open as their eyes in their effort to lose no detail of interest, regard him slowly from head to foot and com ment lipon him among themselves the while. These people may have seen hundreds of foreigners-they may sec them every day-but they continue to act as if they had never seen one before. I visited 6omc Americans in Tokyo who hod lived in the" same house with tho samo Japanese neighbors for about a year, yet each time that we went out to drive the people in the little Japanese house near by would rush to their windows and stand there watching as eagerly as a small Yan kee at the circus. This happened every day. It is always possiblo to tell whether a foreigner happens to be in his garden, for a good sized crow of Japanese gathered about the gate announces the important fact. * Sin Eaters In Wales. A curious custom prevails at fu nerals in some parts of Wales. Apoor {lerson is hired-"a long, leen, ug y, lamentable rascal"-to perform the duty of sin eater. Bread and beer are passed to the man over the corpse or laid on iL These he con sumes, and by the process he is sup posed to take on him all the sins of the deceased and free the person from walking after death. When a sin eater is not employed, glasses of wine and funeral biscuits are given to each bearer across the coffin. The people bel i o that ev ery drop of wine drunk ut a funeral is a sin committed by the deceased, but that by drinking the wine tho BOUI of the dead is released from the burden of the ein. In some places it is the custom to send to the friends of a family after a death a bag of biscuits with the card of the deceased. These fa nerai biscuits, often small, round sponge cakes, were known as arvel bread, arvel bread meaning ale. When arvel bread is passed around at a funeral, each guest is expected to put a shilling on the plate. How Sheridan Used an Idea. Perhaps the wittiest of Richard Brinsley Sheridan's retorts was de livered, as it seemed, offhand in the house of commons. He said that 'Dundas resorted to his memory for his jokes and to his imagination for his facts. Unfortunately for thc extempore reputation of this jest, it is found set down in Sheridan's notebook years before. Ho jots down the happy thought, "He em ploys his fancy for his narrative and keeps his recollection for hi9 wit." Later on he expands this into "When he makes his jokes, you ap plaud the accuracy of his memcny, and 'tis only when he states his facts that you admire the flights of his imagination." After this he uses the idea to thc confusion of Michael Kelly, a com poser of music, who had been a wine merchant. "You will now import your music and compose your wine." Finally he lets it off with a bang in the house of commons. Habit and Eating Houses. When a man has created a habit of eating at a certain place, he thinks of that particular place whenever he gets hungrj'. He may have begun by accident, have se cured a good seat, a good waiter or got acquainted with the proprietor or got some favorite dish to his taste or met agreeable people. Some insignificant thing struck him fa vorably, ?n a few days he goes there from habit. He gets angry and dissatisfied every now and then and tries another place, but he finds drawbacks everywhere and goes back again. Habit is stronger than the attractions of superior food and cookery, stronger than money con siderations. If it were not for hab it, the good will of a hotel or a "news paper would bo worthless, a*nd scores of restaurants around town would bo closed in a month.-New York Herald. - If men were as anxious to do as they are to get their right.?? the world would be righted. - Some men ypare the rod and spoil the slipper. - Moro men are locked up for safe keeping than for safe breading. - Love and potatoes both spring from tho eyes. - It is sometimes easier to tako things as they come than it is tn in duce them to come. The Woes of a Bracklyn Bride and Groom. The average American citizen has a ' sense of humor which carries him into any extravagance or loss of time for the sake of a joke. Thomas F. E. Fagan, a druggist of 3,003 Fulton street, Brooklyn, realises this great truth. Last Saturday week Mr. Fagan, who is quite a wealthy mau with ideas of his own, slipped away to Buck ville Centre, L. I., and was married to Miss 1 Maude Shaw. They planned for a surprise and had one. The idea was to go on a wedding trip of a few days and then to return to Brooklyn, drive quietly to the drug-store, over which apartments had been arranged, and from thenoe astouish thoir friends with official announcements of their happiness. Somebody learned of tho pian and proceeded to stir up all that end of Brooklyu, thc population of which re sponded with remarkable alaority. Money was spent and time was given freely. Last Thursday evening tho Fagans got home. They noticed as their car riage approached the Fagan drug store that some unusual excitement und de monstration was in progress, but they took little notico of it. They, were happy with the usual happiness cf such occasions and more than usually hilarious with tho thought of how cleverly they had tricked their friends and with speculations on thc astonish ment with which the news of their marriage would be received. As they turned in their own street they found a crowd of 3,000 people who greeted them with wild cheers while a fully manned and equipped brass band struck up : "He's up against the Kcal Thing now." The drug-store was decorated from roof to pavement with flags and rib bons and was brilliantly illuminated. A huge banner over the door boro the inscription "Behold the Bridegroom Cometh." The show windows were full of elaborate floral emblems sug gestive of matrimonial and family events and conditions. A committee thrust into thc hands of the suddenly wrecked and bewildered Fagan anoth er large banner conveying the dismal fallacy, "I was married on the Q. T." Fireworks began to whirl and fizz showers of sparks and to rush into the air anti explode. Tin horni bellowed and blared, a couple of bonfires and a blaze of red light developed suddenly and bells rang. As a secret wedding the affair was the most dismal failure in all the history of wed dings. The crowd formed into line and marched around the blook, eaoh pro cessionist wearing a badge with the words: \ "You can't loose us, Tommy." Somebody who did not understand the facts rushed in a riot oall and a platoon of police reserves promoted the privacy of the affair by arriving OD tho run. Mr. Fagan was at that timo having a speech extorted from him, having been pulled from his carriage and put up on a platform. Respond ing to a general and enthusiastic de mand, ho had also chartered a neigh boring saloon r.nd invited everybody to "have something" on him. The police, learning tho facts, became so much interested that they joined in the fun and assisted in keeping up tho celebration until midnight. The bride from Rockville C intre was mean while wondering if tbat was thc Brooklyn idea of a quiet and secret wedding just what would happen in case of a public ceremony. If either or both of the Fagans should have occasion to wed ugain and nearly anf thing is likely to hap1 pen on Lons Island-is safe to predict that they yti\\ notify all their friends and will not again put themselves in position to be the objects of the great American practical joke.-Richmond Netcs.
