SOME QUEER LAKES. Sno of in? Oddest of the Lot la tho Pitch Laka of Trinidad. ,Ono of the most singular lakes in the world is the celebrated pitch lake of the island of Trinidad. This lake spreads over an area of ninety nine acres, and its surface is com posed of one great floating mass of asphaltum. scamed with veins of ?clear water. From it and a similar lake in Venezuela the world's supply .ot asphalt is drawn, says the Wash ington Post. ?The pitch lake is a hideous place] ns far as smells are concerned, for the air all about it is heavy with noxious vapors, and from the cen- | ter of tho lake gushes a fountain of liquid asphaltum, iu which thero float and break bubbles containing most horrible gases. The workmen go out on tho sur face of this lake and eut great slabs .of asphaltum, which aro carried away. But the next morning the hole they left is filled up again with the pitch which has risen during the night, so that the supply seems to bo inexhaustible. j This curious lake was discovered fey Sir Walter Raleigh when he land ed on Trinidad in 1585, on his way to the mouth of the Orinoco in search of El Dorado. Another strange lake ia situated on a peninsula which juts out into the Caspian sea. The whole surface of this lake is covered1 with a crust of salt so thick and strong that a man can ride across it on horseback faith safety. In central Asia, near the Caspian ?ea, is a lake of beautiful rose color, while the banks aro covered with salt crystals as white as snow. From the waters of this lake there arises a flowerliko odor. The color and the odor are supposed to be caused by vegetable matter in the depths. There used to be a curious lake on the top of the Volcano de Agua, in .'Guatemala, 14,000 feet above the level of the sea. ilt was not fed by springs or by rivers, but was caused by accumulations of snow and rain -in fact, was an immense reservoir. It lasted for centuries. Then, one day, the sides of the lake gave way, and down the waters rolled, dealing death and destruction, and digging a great barranca, or ravine, in the mountain side, which is still visible. - ' A Lesson Soon Learned. John was very crestfallen indeed, and had promised his wife that nev er more would he be tempted to waste his substance- in riotous liv ing. "Yes, I know," sighed the good lady, "but Fm getting to doubt your promises. Tho great trouble with you, John, is that you do not seem to he able to say 'No.* Learn to say. *No/ and you will find much less difficulty in life. Will you promise me that you will never leave off try ing till you have learned to say <No?'" "Yea" said the contrite John. "That's right ! And now can you let me have a little money this morn ing ?" "No," said John, with apparent .Base. . His Impressive Name. There was once a romantic damsel whose cup of joy was filled when she met a man named Horatio Engel court Llanseville de Brcau. "What a magnificent name!" she sighed. "Ah, the grandeur of itl If it were hut mine I" 'And so she set her cap at. him. In time he was hers, and the only time she ever addressed him by his foll name was when she put it on the envelopes containing her passionate letters. In the letters and in her daily speech she called him "Too dles." This showa that there is much in a nf iie until we decide upon a moro appropriate one. N ?E . . A Love Tragedy. .

TIMELY TESTIMONY. lt Came at an Opportune Moment and Was Effective. Now and then one rends of an in cident which is almost startling be cause of its aptness. The following anecdote, told by the founder and former president of the Massachu setts Society For the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, is an illustra tion of this, and also of the prin cipio that reason and the law of right and justice lie at the bottom of human character, and will in the ond prevail. Mr. Angeli was en gaged in preparing his exposition of the cruelties of the slaughter houses when his work was brought to a standstill by his inability to obtain in writing tho testimony of * wit nesses. Two men upon whom he had confidently relied nad, from fear of personal danger, tacked out, and others had followed their example! Disheartened at what eeemc-a the inevitable failure of his humane project, Mr. Angeli was sitting in nis office one day when a man came in and said, without preliminary ex planation: "Are you forming a society for the prevention of cruelty to ani mals?" "Yes," answered Mr. Angeli. . "Well, I want to join it. Here is some money for you," and he laid down a ten dollar bill. "Where do you live?" inquired Mr. Angeli, entering the name on the book. The stranger mentioned a suburb of Boston. Mr. Angeli looked up quickly. "Do you know anything about the slaughter house there?" he asked. "Well, I guess I do. I've run one of them for twenty years^ and I'm going to quit. I've done enough cruelty to animals, and now I'm go ing to see if I can't do them some good/' "What sent you here?" "I don't know; I just thought I'd come ?in." This was exactly the opportunity needed by Mr. Angeli. Here was a man who from his own personal ex perience had seen and sickened of the horrors of the evil the society wished to banish. The questions came thick and fast, and in the next hour enough testimony was given to fill out a re port which was the means of doing away with the slaughter house bru talities and establishing what was the finest abattoir in the country, Youth's Companion. A Smart Ruse. A retired minister of the Church of Scotland, who was known to be careful in money matters, was re turning home late one night from Edinburgh. It happened that the train did not go all the way. How was he to get over the remaining eight cr nine miles without having to pay for hiring a trap and yet without walking? Ile was equal to ? the emergency. Going to the near est posting establishment, he asked if there was a horse for sale. He was told there was and said he would like to give it a trial. The horse was harnessed and covered the nine miles in grand style. As soon, how ever, as the manse came in view the : minister said: "That'll do. I'll get out now. It's not a bad horse, but he'll not suit me I"-London Times. Filled Every Want. Mrs. De Flat-Have you anything ? new in folding beds ? j Dealer-Only this, madam, and it really is quite a success. On arising j in the morning you touch a spring, Land it turns into a washstand and bathtub. After your bath you touch ! another spring, and it becomes a. dressing table, with a French plato mirror. If you breakfast in your room a slight pressure will trans form it'into au extension table. After breakfast you press ) thesa three huttons at once, and yoii have an upright piano. That's all it will do except that when you die it can be changed into a rosewood coffin. Galvanism. Galvani, the discoverer of galva nism, ran against his discovery quite by accident as a result of romo medical investigations. He was en gaged one day on some work ia con nection with the,-bodies of frogs. Accidentally the bodies touched a zinc object standing near, and a vio I lent twitching ensued. Galvani in stantly deducted that the metal had some properties, peculiar to itself and subsequently discovered the force of galvanism, for which he be came famous. No Tm?ble About That.

The great festival of the year in Japan is the feast of dolls, celebrat ed on tho third day of the third month. In every Japanese family of any consequence there ia a fire proof vat or storehouse especially ouiit to hold the dolls, which are handed down from generation to generation. All the year until the first day of the feast tho precious dolls are kept safely locked up in this vault. Sometimes there are hundreds of them in the possession of one of the great families. On the first day of the feast the vault is opened, and all the dolls are tak en out. They are camed into the finest room of the house, where a number of red covered shelves have been built to receive them. A?wa) s first among these historic dolls are effigies of the emperor and empress, and next to them in importance come small reproductions of the court musicians, all complete to the smallest details. Then there will also be miniatures of other less great but more familiar personages, and for every one there is a com plete set of doll furnishings. In the boudoir of one of the doll wom en, for instance, will be founitinv combs, mirrors and all the appara tus for blackening the eyebrows, reddening the lips and performing all the other mysteries of the toilet. There are also complete sets of cooking and dining utensils, and the little girls of a Japanese family dur ing tho three days of the feast of dolls are kept' busy seeing that all the puppets are supplied with real food, proper to their rank and sta tion in life. At the close of the third day all the dolls and their belongings are acked away in their fireproof store ouse, not to be disturbed again un til the next year. The feast of dolls takes the place of Christmas to the children of Japan.-Chicago Trib une._;_ Both Pooled. An amateur cornet player, who makes life a burden to his neigh bors, applied the other day to the conducto* 2 a theater for employ ment. It bo happened that t he con ductor was badly in need of a cor net player. Greatly impressed by the applicant's account of himself and his playing, and also being in a great hurry, he engaged the lad at once and told him to be on hand the same night. The overtiuv that even ing was "Tannhauser," and the new recruit made a ghastly mess of his shara in it. When at last it was over the purple faced conductor bent down to the amateur and said in angry tones: "You wretched scoundrel! I thought you could play." "So did I till I came here," re plied the cornet pfayer, getting up and putting away his instrument, "and aren't we both jolly well sold ?" And with that the amateur dis appeared with alacrity. - London Standard._ John's Ready Wit. John was driving Mr. and Mrs. T. to the station when it was noticed that the horse would stop every now and then, and Mr. T. remarked upon it. "What is the matter this morn ing, John ?" he asked. "Shure, sbrr," said John, "the horse is a sensible craythur, an' Oi think that he stops now an* thin to listen as to what yea are sa} in' be hind his back, sorr." The Struth _or tho matter was, though, thp.t John in trying to lis ten himself neglected to pay atten tion to hu. business, but his ready wit saved him from any reprimand on that occasion. An Umbrella. Two St. Joseph policemen decid ed they needed an' umbrella recently and laid plans to get one. One morning a citizen came into the po lice station with just such an um brella as the policemen thought would do. As he left the building ono of the officers rushed up and j grabbed the umbrella. "Where did you get this?" he asked gruffly. "I -I-I really ; don't remember," came from the citizen. "Well, it wasn't yours, was it?" said the po liceman. "Why, no; I"- the citi zen replied. .

Although victor}-, actual or pro spective, of course never was doubt ful (either you were winning or tho other fellow was winning, according as to which did tho telling), at some times it appeared to a spectator more decisive than at others. You were feeling very spunky that noon when amid your preserves you descried a stranger boy, but civilly you challenged him. Ono may witness two bluff but wary fox terriers thus approach each other, accost i.nd investigate. "Hello!" you wagged-that is, said. "Hello, yourself!" wagged he. "Say, what's your name?" you in quired, as you had every right to do. "Puddin' tame, ask me again, an* Pl! tell you tho same," ho replied insolently. At the unmerited rebuff you stiff ened. "Better not give me any of your 6ass!" you growled. "Pooh! What'U yo^; do?" ho growled back. 'Til show you what I'll do." "You couldn't hurt a flea." "I couldn't, couldn't I ?"

"Aw, he ain't got any big broth er," jeered the heartless crowd, who saw no pathos in your abused organ. This was true. You had none.
