There is no context there. and when I saw dates or numerals of any kind the blur of the years shut out all their outlines, and to save me I could not tell what was before me. I made mistakes so often in reading aloud to my wife that she would laugh at me, though she never caught me on the letters, not withstanding many was the time I guessed at about half I was reading. But figures would not stand any fool ing like that, and at last I acknowl edged that it wasn't the type or the paper or the light or anything of that sort and got myself a pair of glasses.

During a high wind te!w summer day a young orioie was throwu from its nest to the grot:ud. it was picked up by kind iiands and kept in ther house till the storm was over and then placed on the roof of the piazza. A watch was kept behind the clos:d blind.: of a window near by to note proceedings on the part of the pa:ent birds. They in the Ieantime had seen the little one borne away and had followed it to the house, and, as it was kept near the open window, its cries had apprised them of its whereabouts. They soon cane to it on tie roof and hovered about it, doing much talking and con sulting together.

Trentment For Sprnins. The prevalence of sprains and strains owing to the indulgence in athletic exercises of all kinds moves an au thority on the treatment of these pain ful accidents to say: A little common sense trealtment Is often all that is needed when the strain is at ankle or wrist and without com plications. it will swell very alarming ly at first and gradually develop a frightful looking bruise. but from the first it should have complete rest and a treatment of hot and cold douches, the hot being used at first, when the swelling is painful, and the cold later on, as a sort of tonic to the relaxed muscles. The hot must be very hot and the cold very cold, as the tepid water does harm rather than good. For the first day of a strain, when all the wrenched cartilages and mus cles are aching. great relief is found in a poultice of egg and salt. To make it, beat the white of an egg till light, but not stiff. Stir in gradually a cup and a half of salt, or more if needed, to make a thick, pastelike icing. spread this on a cloth and bandage in place. Cover all with oil silk or a thick bath towel to protect the sheets, since the egg leaks out continually. After this has relieved the soreness begin with hot water fomientations and wear a light, firm bandage. except at night. A Fine Distinction. A young down town drug clerk who had heard the story of the colored wo man who had asked for flesh colored court plaster and was given black by the observant dealer stored the inci dent away in his mental dust box and decided to use It at the first opportu nity. He had not long to wait, for a few nights ago a comely colored girl stepped into the store where he was employed. "Ah wants some cou't plas ter," she said. "What color'" inquired the clerk, with affected nonchalance. "Flesh cullah, sah." Trembling in his shoes and keeping within easy reach of a heavy pestle, the clerk handed the woman a box of black court plaster, and he was sur prised at the time that the situation af forded so little humor. The woman opened the box with a deliberation that was ominous, but she was unruffled when she noted the color of the con tents. "Ah -gness yo' inns' a-misunderstood mnah ordah. Ah~ asked foh flesh cullah, and yo' done give me skin cullah." The drug cle'b is still a little dazed from the encounter, and he has firmly resolved to subject every joke to rigid laboratory test hereafter before using. -Pittsburg News. His Dim Idea. A teacher was giving her class an ex ercise in spelling and defining words. "Thomas," she said to a curly haired little boy, "spell 'ibex.' " "Correct- Define It." "An ibex," answered Thomas after a prolonged mental struggle, "is where you look in the back part of the book when you want to find anything that's printed in the front part of the book." Unforgiven.

It has often been remarked that w-hile nothing is so uncertain as the du ration of any given human life nothing is were certain than the aggregate of years which may be assigned to a group of 100 persons or more at any particular age. The expectation of life at a given age, to use the actuarial phrase, differs considerably, as might be expected. in different countries, and Englishmen may be surprised to learn that they are not the longest living among the white races. At the age of 20 an Englishman in average health may expect to live 42 years. and any life office will grant hims a policy based on that probability. The American's expectation is for a slightly longer period. On the other hand, a German lad of '20 can count upon little more than 39 years and a half. It would seem, therefore, tlint the restlessness attributed to the A mericanI1 temperament does not necessarily con uce to the shortening of life nor the composure of the German to its pro longation. Possibly the better feeding and clothing of Americans in the lower classes of the population are the princi pal causes of their greater longevity. 'heir position Is, at any rate. main tained in later as well as In earlier years. The American who has reached 60 may look to complete 14 years more, while the Britisher's expectation is on ly about 13 years and 10 months and the German's as nearly as possible 12 months less. Both at 20 and at 60 the Frenchman's prospect is a little better than the German's and a little worse than the Englishnian's.-London Globe. Economical Trnlnin;t of Gunners. The method used In the United States navy for the economical training of the gunners Is very interesting. It is a well known fact that the cost of firing ne of the large guns used in the navy s very great, amounting sometimes to ;1,000 or more. To save this expense i very simple method is employed. In the case of the large guns an ordinary Remington rifle is secured in the breech )f the gun and directly in the center )f the bore. so that when it is fired its bullet takes the same direction as that >f the regular projectile. The large gun Is sighted in the usual manner. Dn account of the lesser velocity of the small bullet the target is placed close to the ship and is made corresponding ly small. The method used for the (; pounder r other small guns is slightly differ nt, as instead of the small rifle a wooden or dummy cartridge the same size as the regular cartridge Is em ployed. Through the center of this wooden cartridge runs a rifle barrel which is loaded with a .44 caliber car tridge. This latter method has the ad litional advantage of giving the gun 3rew practice in loading as well as fir ing.-Washington Star. What's In a Nane?

If it is hard to remember or hard to pro :aounce, it Is undoubtedly a serious iandicap, and, on the contrary, a atchy, simple title, just odd enough to tick in one's memory, is in itself an dvertisement worth thousands of dol lars. I have a house in mind that spent a good sized fortune trying to popularize a tablet preparation with a ueer Iudian title that no two people pronounced in exactly the same way. [t was a good thing and cleverly put efore the public, and it failed solely, I think, because people were reluctant to ask for it for fear of making them selves ridiculous by butchering the pronunciation. That's a point about which the average customer Is very sensitivye." A Legal Quibble. "There Is a story," the doctor said, "of a man who was sued for debt not long ago. The case went against him, and the court gave judgment for $300. His lawyer told him he would have to pay it, as he was an unmarried man. lHe hustled out and In a few hours eanme back with a wife and a plea in cue form that he needed his salary for the support of his family.

A Sint.:u:::- A;::;,t One of the le:n.n, ::en:ists of Chi cago, with a p r :M years be hind him, had an c:pD:.nce not Ions ago that was entice!y new to hii. It was near his hour for starting to his lecture class in a West Side school. Three women were in the waiting room. Two of them were willing to make an appointment for the next day. The third one, a stranger, would hear to no delay, and the doctor's as sistant showed her in. "I had my hat in my hand," said the doctor, "and she had ben told that I was in a hurry. She came across the room in a most leisurely fashion, how ever, taking three times as much time as the ordinary person would. She was chewing an unusual wad of gum a whole package, I should say-and she was chewing it with desperate vigor. "She sat down slowly, end I asked her a question. She looked straight at me and went on chewing. 1 spoke again and again, but she sat looking at me and chewing in as much silence as. was possible under the circum stances. Finally I said to her: "'Madam, will you kindly stop chew ing long enough to answer my ques tions?' "Then she burst out, sobbing:" "'That's just what I'm here for-I can't stop-I've got to chew-and I've been chewing just this way for more than two years.' "-Chicago Tribune. Wheeler's Bravery. Wheeler's charge at the battle of Shiloh was said by General Grant to be one of the most splendid exhibitions of human bravery he had ever witness ed, and a feat which roused admira tion among both armies was when the Intrepid little general accomplished the destruction of Itosecrans' provision train after the battle of Chickamauga. On Dec. 30, 1S63, General Wheeler attempted and successfully carried out one of the most daring, perilous and important duties ever assigned a cav alry commander. He crossed the Ten nessee river in the face of a division of cavalry under General George Crook, drove back and worsted the troops that guarded the Federal trains of 600 mules and 1,000 wagons and captured the whole, with 1.500 prisoners. While he was thus engaged Rose crans' cavalry, S,000 strong, swept down upon the Georgians. The latter charged and repulsed the northerners, capturing the forts at McMinnville, Tenn., with 600 prisoners and great stores; capturing the forts and destroy ing the bridges near Murfreesboro, and then, as full of fight as at the begin ning of the engagement, they turned and put to rout General Hooker and the Eleventh and Twelfth corps that came riding down at the moment to re enforce the Yankees.-Chicago Journal Tbe History of a Book. Following is the story of the first edi tion of Fitzgerald's celebrated transla tion of "Omar Khayyam." The book was issued anonymously and found no buyers. Accordingly the author went to Bernard Quaritch's shop, dropped a heavy parcel of 200 copies of the "Ru balyat" and said, "Quaritch, I make you a present of these books." The famous bookseller offered them first at half a crown, then at a shilling and, again descending, at sixpence, but no buyers came. In despair, he re duced the book to a penny and put copies into a box outside his door, with a ticket, "All these at one penny each." At that price the pamphlet moved, In a few weeks the lot was sold, and in this way one of the finest gems of Eng lish literature was dispersed among a not overdiscerning public. The legend has it that Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Swinburne and Burton were among those who dIscovered the "hid den treasure in the penny box." Years passed, and the once despised volume rose in the muarket. and in 1898 Quar itch bought in for ?21 a copy which 40 years before he had sold for a penny. Bedlam, The word "bedlam" is a corruption of the word "Bethlehem" and originat ed as a synonym for chaos at the time when the house of Bethlehem, occu pied by a sisterhood of London, became an insane asylum. The treatment of the insane in the early part of the six teenth century was not well under stood, and, according to the theories then prevalent, it was necessary to frighten the patient out of his lunacy. All sorts of awful espedients were re sorted to. among them "surprise floors," which slipped from under the feet; "surprise baths" and floggings at the periods of most severe illness; hence the name "bedlam," the result of in correct spelling, possibly, came easily to stand for awful things.

It is not generally known, but the largest hopyards in the world are in California, along the Sacramento, Russian and Feather rivers, and the very biggest hopfield on earth is at Pleasanton, In Alameda county, where there are 308 acres. with more than 445,000 vines under one wire.
