"There was so, yer honor." "Th?n I sup pose it got darker and darker." "Thrue for you, counselor!" "And vou say this man was nearly blind. Surely the darkness would have made him quite so?" "Not at all, sir. Contrariwise, every time a flash of llghtnin' come he shthruck out and hit me in the eye." "It was raining, too, I suppose." 'It was so, sir." "Perhaps, then, as you are so exact, you'll tell the gentlemen of the jury the size of the drops, of rain." "I will thin. To the best of me ree'lleetion, they,varied in size from a shillin' to 18 pence!" This hazy view of the size of drops of rain is somewhat sugges tive of a drop too much of another sort and reminds me of another whose absurdity is due to the pro vision of a drop too little, or, rath er, a drop of the wrong sort. A priest who is a total abstainer was expecting, his cousin, a Dublbjii so licitor, on a visit and, knowing that he did not hold the same views as himself on the drink question, went to tho village grocer and ordered a bottle of port. This, was duly deliv ered and decanted by his reverence. At dinner time he hospitably poured out a gloss and said, "There, Cousin Tom, that's the best vintage Ballyporeen affords." The solicitor sipped it critically and then said, "Well, Cousin Cornelius, to my mind it tastes a wee bit too much of the musheruins" (mushrooms).

Skylark Journeylngs. s The English ekylark has'inspired several of the most beautiful poems in our language, ;and its migrations arc of a character which, it would seem, might appeal to English poets only less effectively than its song does. In violation of the general rule that birds move southward r the autumn immense numbers of skylarks which have summered in central Europe arrive, in England in September and October to pass the winter in the British isles. In Oc tober an entirely distinct immigra tion of skylarks enters Great Brit ain from Scandinavia, while all through the autumn British bred skylarks emigrate southward, many of them going to the continent for the winter, xet others remain in England all the year round.? Youth's Companion. The Value of Cats. Cats are bo common nowadays that people do not realize their val ue, although they would soon do so if they had to get along without them for awhile and suffer from the plague of vermin which would ar rive through unrestricted multiply- ! ing of the pests which the pussies ; destroy and drive away. So late as j the middle ?ges cats were compara- j tively scarce in Europe and were so : highly prized that any person* who 1 killed one was obliged to pay a fine, j This penalty sometimes was requir- . ed to be paid in the shape of a pile of wheat big enough to cover the 1 slain animal when it was held ver tically by the tip of its tail, the nose tor .-hing the ground. Treating a Sprain. The first thing to do with a , sprain is to apply water as" hot as can bo borne and repeat until the pain is gone. The hot water may be showered on the sprain/'or wet cloths may be used if frequently re newed. The foot or ankle can be conveniently immersed in the hot water.. The next thing is to keep the injured part thoroughly worm. This is done by winding. it with wadding or flannel. The less a sprained limb is usedNand the quiet er it is kept the more likely it is to get well quickly. ^ A Costume of Ratsklns.

Genuine Confederate Money and Stamps Are Getting Scarce... "Genuine C* nieder at e money and postage stamps have about played out," said a well informed numis matist, "It in. no trouble to get counterfeits, however, as there is no law. against making counterfeits of this character, and the conse qu^icg-M that thousands and thou sands are on the market. The" ten cent Confederate postage etamp is very scarce and readily brings 50 cents each. Thirty different Kinds of postage stamps were issued by the Confederate government, but it is difficult to get a full set of the series. "Some of the most valuable stamps in theworld are those issued by some of the local offices in the south. The Crawford stamp, issued at Athens, Ga., is worth $150, and the one issued by the Macon (Ga.) postoffice is worth nearly as much. "The Confederate money is, of course, nearly all gone, because aft er it ceased to pass the people of the south gave it to their children to j play with, made fire screens, paper- i ed houses and put it to many other uses. As I say, very little of the genuine can now be found. But the stamps, bonds and slave deeds are still valuable, but difficult to get hold of. I dare say that if a shrewd fellow could have access to some of j the old homes and desks and secre ) taries in the south he would find a ; small fortune stored away in the ! old letters and nn the old papers, j now kept only as reminders of the writers and of other days. I "Few people realize how many of these old time secretaries, desks and tables have 6ecret drawers. It was the custom in olden days for people of wealth to have secret hid j ing places made in them, and in them tvere put tbp most valuable papers and jewelry. Not infrequent ly now you will read of valuablo pa pers being found in secret drawers in old articles of furniture which have been in use for years. And, too, there ore many of the old southern homes in which are secret closets imknown to the present oc cupants and, perhaps, filled with ar ticles and documents of value."? Washington Post. Where Wedding Pees Go. Most clergymen who are married present their wives with the fees that are handed them for the per formance of the wedding ceremony. It is probable, a bishop estimated recently, that not more than 10 per cent of clergymen's wives are de nied these little sums. The women expect .theni ae a right. "Indeed," the bishop said, "when a young girl marries a clergyman he who makes the two one informs her of the priv ilege she may count on and urges her to demand after each ceremony her husband performs that he hand over the fee to her." A clergyman's wife of Spruce street has invested $8,000 which all came from weddings. A Manayunk woman keeps herself and her chil dren in shoes from the same source of revenue.?Philadelphia Record.

Whether that was due to hor own peculiar disposition or to the fact that her old black mammy delight" ed in mournful events it is hard'to say. On one occasion Edna went with her mother to psy a "visit of condo lence" to her aunt, whose husband had recently died. She was very fond of this aunt, who. had express ed a wish to see the little niece, so she and her mother came all the way from their country home, and , on the road mamma talked serious ly to tho little girl. . "You must be very sweet to auntie, darling. She has had such a sorrow." "Yes, it was drefful," said Edna, with a sympathetic sigh. 'It certainly was, and you must say something very nice to her." "What, mamma?" "Oh, I don't know, dear; any thing that comes into your kind lit tle heart. And you must hug and kiss her and tell her how much you love her. Poor auntie 1" "Oh," said Edna, and she lapsed into silence until they reached their destination. On seeing the child her aunt was very much affected and cried a good deal, and Edna sat on her lap, pat ting her hands and stroking her hair while thinking of ?otuething "comfortable" to say. At last she made up her mind to speak. She leaned over and kissed her auntie softly on tho forehead. The tear stained face was raised to hers, and the child whispered: "Auntie, darling auntie, did you 'joy yourself at the funeral?"?Ohio State Journal. Why 8he Forgot.

When I have bread, I know I want butter, and when I have steak I know I want pepper and salt." "All right. Go and don't be long." Bridget was not long.

I think that a sermon and a dinner,, however good either may be, ought never to last more than a quarter of an hour or twenty minutes at the most." . "Well, well," said J)r.

Expert Evidence as to'the Taste of These Insecte. In some cases; an insect?as the caterpillar of the magpie moth?is conspicuously colored because, as it is harmful food for birds, frogs or lizards, they must be warned to avoid it. This has been long as serted, but some naturalists nave hesitated to accfept the theory. Professor Plateau went out one day and ate part of one of these so ! called "distasteful" insects. Ho re ported that the flavor, if somewhat insipid, was sweetish, containing a suggestion of almond, and was on the. whole not unpleasant. After ward Professor Wheeler of Texas was induced to repeat this gastro nomic adventure. His report con cerning the insects he devoured was that the flavor was slightly sweet and distinctly "nutty," and ho ear nestly invited naturalists to eat in sects indiscriminately on all their expeditions. That, Professor Wheel er declared, would be the best way to dispose of the theory that some insectB were harmful to birds, liz ards and frogs and that their colors were self protective in warning those creatures to abstain from gob bling them up. But Mr. Guy Marshall, the dis tinguished naturalist of Mashona . land, after proving that, as a mat ter of fact, frogs, birds and lizards do abstain from eating the highly colored caterpillars, pointedv out that the personal tests made by his brother entomologists were of no worth, inasmuch as man was not naturally an insect eating animal, and what waB food to him might be poison or at any rate highly unpal atable to a fr?g.?-London News. ? An Urgent Call. After dinner one very disagreea ble night last week a certain Mad ison avenue physician, looking from his office window and seeing the rain beat against the glass, decided that he would have a quiet, unin terrupted evening at home. He was soon in hiB house coat, a novel in his hand, and tobacco smoke was curling around him. About 10 . o'clock some one rang the doorbell, "The doctor is wanted righi away at ??," began the caller. "He_ can't go, sir," answered the .servant quickly. "He left word that he was not well, and that unless it was-a case of life or death he would not venture out." "Well, you tell him ho must come over. We need him to sit in a pok er game." "Oh, you're Mr. B., are you? Step in, please, and I'll see."

In the mountains of eastern Ken tucky when a man speaks of his wife to a third person he calls hei 'him," or when a wife speaks of hei husband she calls him "um." For. instance, " 'urn' is going to Saylers ville tomorrow," or "'urn' shot a bear yesterday." The word is said to have originated with young mar ried folks over 100 years ago, who were too diffident to usq the phrase "my -ife" or "my husband." While at tho table before stran gers tho husband who desired hia wife to pass th? bread or sorghum would attract the attention of hia wife by clearing his throat, "ahem;" "oohum," and finally degenerating the phrase to "urn," which was the final understanding when each was addressed.?Exchange ^??$8f"? 7"*???-.
