t DULL JACK DALTON j lt would have been difficult to find two people more entirely unlike, ],oth by nature and training, than this plain, practical Jack Dalton mid that learned exponent of the* higher culture, Miss Beatrice Har court. She had been to one of the lead ing woman's colleges, had taken honors and was a Ph. B. And throughout the society of this par ticular city the fame of Miss Har court's intellectuality had gone forth. The good ladies always invited her among the very first to meet their "lions," and elie always sus tained their judgment of her. All the young men who did not regard themselves as particularly viii equipped mentally had ? po lite way. of avoiding Miss Harcourt. "Not that she had ever been actually known to crv?sh anybody or to talk over anybody's head. But they con sulted among themselves and de cided that you can never tell what these intellectual women will take a notion to do "all of a sudden." Jack Dalton was introduced to her at the Merediths' one evening, und, as every one said, it was just like his hard headedness after be ing warned to take a fancy to her. "You beat any one I ever saw, Jack," said I'Ted Merriman. "I be lieve you've taken a liking to Bea trice Harcourt. You've been talk ing to her for fully twenty min utes." I j "Why, yes; she's a rather nice girl, 1 think," said Jack. "Nice enough, to be sure," replied iFred, "but she's so darned intel lectual, you know-goes in for sci ence and philosophy and all that." "Well, that's all right, isn't it? "There's no barm in a woman's being .'smart' if she wants to, is there ?" "No, but how on earth can you talk to her?" ? "Like I talk to any other girl, of course." "But she's not like any other girl, I tell you." "Well, I'm sure I didn't find her so -very different. Indeed, I rather tlike her. She says I may call, and il'm going to do so." """ "Well, I pity you if you do. You twill be bored to death. She'll talk ?elective affinity, the sympathetic iphiiosophy and general science till jou can't rest." "Doyou call there?" "Why, of course not-not I." "Then how do you know she talks these things?" "Why, everybody says so." "Oh, everybody is too poor a witness. You know, Fred, in busi fness you look for individual author ity for a statement and then weigh ithe individual." "That's all right, Jack; it's just (like your hard headedness. Go on ?and first thing you know you'll land ?up against a stump." "Oh, well, my plow is sharp and [my ribs are strong, and it won't (much matter." And Jack laughed tas he passed on. But he was not done with those who feared for his safety at Miss Harcourt's hands. That very night his sister1-for he had ? sister-took him to task., "Oh, J ack. Jack, you foolish boy J" jsh'e said, "i saw you talking a long ?time this evening with Beatrice ?Harcourt. You dear old dunce What could you find to talk about?' "Oh, we had a great conversa tion," said Jock. "Why, Jack, what do you knovi "that could possibly interest her ? Sh< is so very intellectual." "She seemed io be interested ii twhat I said-" "Seemed, yes, seemed. Seeming and being are two different c'uings LWhat .were you saying to her?" "We,wi?re talking about the tarif ?and sheep and different sorts o: ?wool and" ."Oh, Jack, Jack!" broke in bit sister. "Talking sheep to Miss Har court! Horror of horrors 1" 1 . "Why, she seemed to enjoy ft, Ta eure, and asked questions by th* .jdozen.". . ' You poor, foolish boy, she wa making fun of you right to,you 'face and' laughing in her sleeve al ?the while, and you, didn't have th ?yes to see it." "No, I don't think she was muk ?n? fun1 of mo. - She was very ear liest, und * I j have promised to lent ?her that pamphlet of Hendrik's oi gThe Influence of Climate and "Veg .fetation on the Quality of Sheep1 [WboL'w , '*Well, I seo it is no use trying t talk to you," said his sister, with laugh. "You are so *> h?pelessl tiard headed." But Jack had been told that ol ten with no effect, nor did it hov more now, and headlong he went i his pursuit of the learned fair one. *T? an interruption occurred i the " ion of Professor Max Mort mer, professor of. psychology ? Stanton university, -who came t yiait the McGibony-Dufts. He was we? known in the seien ?fio and literary world and was d< cidedly a "somebody " Of course, Mrs, McGibehy-Du .bad Beatrice to meet the' professe immediately, and it happened, als ,*a-v naturally, that the learned ger tlomnn was greatly takenwith thi Self possessed intellectual girl, wh gould jconyc^e^with ^hjm, upon an subject lie chose to int roil noe. So it ?vas not lomj before the professor cunio lp be very much in evidence at the Harcourt heme. No ono pitied Jack Dalton, be cause, as every one said, "he should have had better senne, and not liing but his monumental stupidity and overwhelming hard headedness had put him in such a predicament." But this dull young mau did not seem to be in a way either to ask or need pity. He went to see Bea trice Harcourt just ?i ucual, and when he happened to meet tho pro fessor there it never seemed to ruf fle him in the least. When the young woman would try to draw him into tho conversation he had but ono reply: "Oh, don't mind rae- ; go on. You know I don't know anything about those things. I'm well enough sat isfied just listening to you two and learning something." In the presence of such honesty scientific discussion always seemed to Hug. Professor Mortimer at first re garded the statement of his igno rance as subtle sarcasm, but he grew to know that Jack was sincere. Either the young man did not know or did not care that half his world was laughing at him. His sister no longer tried, to remonstrate with him, for she knew it was use less. He was too duli to see any thing for himself arid too hard headed to listen to others. Fred Merriman was disgusted. He said in confidence to a dear friend: "Well, Jack Dalton . ought to be the grand master of Blind Fool Council No. 1 of the Tlnitar1. Order of Idiots. To think of his still hang ing after that girl and running against the professor when with half an eye he ought to Bee that he hasn't tho ghost of a chance ! The professor has all the winning cards in his hand." But Fred was too good a friend of Jack's to withhold from him the benefit of his opinion, so he accost ed Dalton one day and tried to ex plain the situation to kim. He told him ali that society was thinking and saying about Miss Harcourt and himself and ended by -warning him to cheek his career in time. It was only another ii?p?ance of Jackas hard headedner<* that ho should take the import of his friend's words in a way entirely apart from, what was intended. "Many, many thanks, Fred," he said, "for what you have told me. If things be as you say, I might as well find out ray fate at once. It's either the professor cr I, aiiu. I am going to know which it is/* And that night he coiled on Bea trice "with intentions." The professor didn't happen to be there, so Jack thong-it it best to go through with his important mes sage before some other caller might interrupt him. "Miss Harcourt," he "began, with out any preliminaries, "J have loved yon for a long time, and I want to marry you. Everybody thinks that I have no chance against Professor Mortimer, and maybe I haven't. Of course, I can't talk philosophy and science and" "Ob, Jack, don't say any more about science and philosophy!" cried Beatrice. "I have had enough to last me my lifetime. The pro fessor has made me almost hate them. Do you suppose ? woman wants to be wooed with syllogisms? Yes, I'll marry you, Jack, for isn't love better than science?" "I think it better thant anything," said Jack as he slipped his arm about her. When Jack told his sister she 6aid, "Well, I don't see how you got; her, Jack." When Fred Merriman heard it he said: "That settles it. I've been studying women for ihurty. yearsj and always just as I get a theory well worked out and settled some thing like this occurs an<3 knocks it higher than a kite! I'm going to give them up." Mrs. McGibeny-Dufi ssid, "What foolish things women will do !" Society in general held *'iip its hands and said, "Who'd have thought it?" The professor said nothing, bul packed Iiis grip and went back tc talk philosophy to his young men. And Jack, who was a dull boy and didn't know what a furore he had created, just laughed and was ver} happy? m n r CURES WITHOUT HTOM1CH DOSIN t Hyomel Care* Catt Avril toy Sim* plc Breathing-Evans Phar in a cy Befand Sloney if ts Falla tc Cure. - A long stride toward {solving tin mystery of o uri og catarrh ras taker with the discovery of Hyomei.

'.viv NATURE'S DOCTORS. Hew thc AdironHnrir Wcjr?tsir??s." Fights Bodily Ills. "When the Adirondack native be comes afflicted with any of the nu merous trilling ills which make mankind wretched," said the return ed vis:tor to a New York Herald re porter, "he does not waste much time on doctors, but goes straight lc the woods or the attic for nature's own remedies. There is one old man whom I have met with a pack basket on shoulder and shears and a rough boi^rd stool in his mittened hands, going after yarrow, which, dried, is the standby for coughs when it has been made into a wick ed looking brew. Fir balsam, coax ed drop by drop from the blisters which swell on the balsam fir at full moon, is n sovereign remedy for chest and lung complaints. "Gravel weed, by which name they insult trailing arbutus, is ex cellent for the complaint which cives it its name, and bladder root has a desirable effect on the kidneys and neighboring organs. Sage tea, containing a little summer savory, ts elficncious for worms in children, for which bclmonia, also stooped, is also used. Sunflower seeds, also steeped, strained and sweetened with molasses, will cure tho whooping cough. Horseradish leaves wilted and bound on the face and back of the neck, will drive away neuralgia, and a nutmeg, bored and tied around the neck, will keep it away. The nutmeg must be renewed about once every six weeks. "Onions, sliced, pounded and placed in a cloth and laid over thc a fleeted part, will draw out inflam mation. A red onion, halved and with one part slightly scooped out and the cup placed over a carbuncle or a boil will speedily remove the pus and has saved life. "There are many more of these simple remedies in the North woods pharmacopoeia which the wise ones have at their fingere' ends, and if they are not more widely used and money kept in the o/eralls of the thrifty native it is because a leni ent and more fortunate fate pre sides over the incomes of the Adi rondack medicos." In a Hurry. Henry Seton Merriman-his real name was Hugh Scott-was one of the swiftest writers the world has ever seen. Mr. Merriman only wrote at long intervals, but when he once sat down at his desk he would pro duce trrc cr three chapters of 5,000 words each in an evening. Once he argued with Walter Pa ter at Oxford on this matter. "Nothing/' Mr. Pater reiterated ".nothing can be done well that is done iii a hurry." Clothing ?" said Mr.? Merriman. "Nothing," said Mr. Pater. "How about making a train ?" Modern. The fairy godmother was about to touch the pumpkin with her wand.

The prince is only a man, after all, and the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Turn the pumpkin into a pie and leave me to pretend I made it all myself." But hereupon it transpired that the forces 01 magic were not with out their limitations.-Puck. What the Jar? Mean.

On inquiry he learns that a jar placed with its bottom end to ward the Btreet indicates that the daughter of the house is not yet of age to marry.

FIERCE ALPINE EAGLES. TH?y Arc FsrCv'c?? Their Attacks on Wayfarers. The Maritime Alps of eastern Franco have been noted as being the haunt of tho most ferocious and powerful breed of eagles in exist? euee. Children innumerable have been carried off by them, and they even attack adults on occasions, some times with dire results. A postman named Gustavo Silva, who carried the mails on foot be tween the villages of Sospello and Puget Theniers, was fet upon, while crossing tho pass by threo largo birds and frightfully injured. lie managed to drive oil his wing ed assailantb with tho aid of his alpenstock and eventually reached his destination with his bag of let ters. But his ease was from thc first regarded as hopeless by the local doctors, and after lingering in indescribable agony for six days he succumbed to his wounds. Meanwhile two young French tourists, Messrs. Joseph Monand and Antoine Neysscl, went up into the mountains to try to kill the birds that had done thc damage ?nd wore savagely attacked in their turn. Both men were armed, but tho sudden onslaught of the huge winged creatures completely un nerved them, and after firing only one shot they tried to escape by running. Tho birds, however, struck them down ere they had gone many yards, and they would have doubtless been both torn to pieces where they lay but for the opportune arrival of a party of shepherds. These succeeded in rescuing Mr. Neysscl alive, but terribly injured, he having sustained no fewer than ten severe wounds in the head and back, besides innumerable minor lacerations ard abrasions. His companion, Mr. Monand, was killed outright early in tho fray. Mr. Neyssel recovered after six weeks in bed, but is disfigured for life.-Stray Stories. Tho Old Master. It was Mary's day out, and she was comparing notes with Susan, the parlor maid from No. G. "So I 'ear you've left that art ist's/' said Susan. "Yes, hindeed," remarked Mary. "I couldn't stand the missus' hin sults. I 'adn't been there a day when she says to me, 'Mary,' she says, 'when you're a-dustin; of the stoodio you must be very careful not to touch the old master. It's worth thousands of pounds/ she says. "Well, that got my monkey up something proper. 'Hexcuse me, ma'am/ I says, 'but I ain't used to hinsults. I've got a young man of my own, and I don't want any old master, not if 'e was worth millions, and as to touchin' 'im, I wouldn't sile my hands/ I says. And with that I cocks up my 'ead and walks out."-London Globe. He Didn't Have to Prove lt. One day a stranger stepped off the train at Hopkins and said to a man on the depot platform, "Can you tell me who is the best lawyer in this town?" "I am," replied the man on the platform without hesi tation. The stranger seemed some what disconcerted by this display of egotism and gently said, "Excuse me, sir, but I should like to have you prove it." "Don't have to prove it, MT" answered the man on the pldiiorj.L. "I admit it. I'm the only lc wy sr in this town, sir." And immediately the Rtranger got a law yer and the lawyer got a client. ?Cansas City Journai. Discreet Silence When Bismarck was a boy his father desired him to become a cler gyman, says Hon.

"You probably think that if I had become a clergyman I should be a better man," he said jocosely to his wife one evening. "I will not reply to that," she said quietly, "for my answer would not be polite." Sweet Solicitude. "Chorley, dear," said young Mrs. Torkins, "I do wish you would keep away from the race track." There was no reply. "I heard some men talking about a lot of long shots that landed, and if I had known, Charley, dear, that there was rifle practice going on in tho neighborhood I should never have let you go near the place."

Boys who mako a fuss because their parents oblige them to take frequent baths should he glad they are not Eskimo children, living on the shores of Norton sound. In that cold region of Alaska all the boys are obliged to take a sweat bnth every week, and this bath is no joke. A fire of driftwood is built in the center of the floor of the kashim (the one roomed house where tho men and boys of a village pass most of their time), and when the smoke has passed off and the wood is re duced to red, glowing coals a cover is put over the smoke hole in tho roof, and thc place becomes intense ly hot. The boys then must take off their clothes and sit about tho furnace like apartment until their skin be comes as red as thc shell of a boiled lobster and seems on tho point of blistering. Owing to the intense heat the bathers are obliged to wear respira tors to protect their lungs. These respirators are pads of shavings bound together, concave on the in side and convex on the outside and large enough to cover tho mouth, nose and part of the cheeks of the wearer. Across the inside runs a little wooden bar, which is held in the teeth to keep the respirator in place. The boys sit theia until they are dripping with perspiration. Then they rush outside into the intense cold and roll in the snow. Mr. E. W. Nelson, who spent be tween' four and five years in investi gating for the government the Es kimos living about Bering strait. Fays, "On several occasions I saw them go from the sweat bath to holes in thc ice on a neighboring stream and, squatting there, pour iee water over their backs and shoul ders with a . wooden dipper, appar ently experiencing the greatest pleasure from the operation." Although the Eskimo boys seem to withstand such a bath as this all right and even to enjoy it, it would in all probability kill any white boy who tried it.-Detroit News Trib une. Looking For Hie House. One evening John Scott (Lord Eldon) had been dipping rather too deeply into the convivial bowl with a friend in Queen street, Edinburgh, and on emerging into the open air his intellect became in a consider able degree confused, and, not being able to distinguish objects with any degree of certainty, he thought him self in a fair way of losing the road to his house in Picardy place. In this perplexity he espied some one coming toward him, whom ho stop ped with this query: "D'ye ken whaur John Scott bides?" ''Where's the uso o' you speiring that question?" said the man. "You're John Scott himsel'." "I ken that," answered John, "but it's no himsel' that's wanted; ifs his hoosel"-London Answers. - A polite person is one who doesn't let others know what he thinks of them. - Teaoh a boy to know himself and stop feeding him on the staff dreams are made of. - When a woman weeps scalding tears some man is going to find him self in hot water. - The average woman has a poor head for figures when she comes to G g uri rj g her age. - Uoless a man is capable of in venting excuses he should remain in the haohelor class. - Ohio has just lost her champion lazy-man.
