Her Purse and His Handkerchief.
"Thb thoughts of youth are long.

woman who had dropoued her purse,
full <' pay money for the corps of
glrls :nder her charge. considered the
thoughts of youth to be rather too

She was in one of the large depart
ment stores, and as her hands were
occup d she let her purse lie for a
few r >menzs where it had fallen. But
her e:. was on it. In the meantime a
brigh' little fellow not more than nine
or ten years old left his parents near
by ar.1 deftly covered the purse with
a han- kerchief.
The woman. who is a perfectly self
posse- ed young person. could hardly
believ her eyes. but she waited to see
what .he boy would do. Just as he
was sooping to his prize she placed
her fo yt quietly upon it. The young
ster sUpped back without a word to
the vl dressed "respectable" people
with whom he was.
Then the woman picked up her purse
and. taking the hand:erchief over to
the lad, handed it :o him, saying,

He Saw the Game.
The office boy had buried countless
gandmothers, brothers, sisters, aunts
and co-isins. but he felt an enthusiasm
for the baseball game that day which
would not be dovned.
Suddenly an idea struck him. Ap
proaching the easy boss with an air
of familiarity which had been nurtur
ed by long usage he asked:
"May I leave at noon today, sir?"
"And why, my boy?"
"There is a fancy fair at our church
and mother wants me to go this after
noon. She was so anxious that she
bought me a ticket which cost a dol
Isr. as she was sure you would allow
me the few hours off. I have to assist
at the refreshment stall, and it seems
a pity to waste"
"But surely you are above such
things as that which take you away
from, your work. Why not give the
ticket to one of your sisters?"
--Well. you see, sir, that wouldn't be
fair. for I'm the only one of our fam
ily who can be depended upon to eat

An English Amenity.
A striking difference between our
manners and those of our English
cousins was shown one day at a gar
den party. The hostess, an American,
was speaking to one of her guests, an
Englishwoman of rank.
"Dear Lady B.," she said, 'here are
some sandwiches which I made with
my own hands, particularly for you.
You know I've often told you about
our American sandwiches and how
good they are. Here are different
sorts, lettuce and cucumbers, if you
care for 'grass.' or if you like a savory
better try the cream cheese ones with
pimentoes. I've sonic sweet ones. too,
raisins and nuts chopped together
which will you try first?"
She held a pla'e in each hand, a
plate filled with dainty looking sand
wiches, and they were extended invit
Ingly toward her guest, who looked at
them critically. then said in the clear.
high pitched voice of the well bred
Englishwoman:
"Oh, thank you, so kind of you. but
do you know I never touch the nawsty
things?"-Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Chance For a Home Run.
A clever teacher who has the power
of calling out originality in her pupils
says that she would have no use for
text books if she took time to answer
all the startling questions asked in
the classroom. One day the attraction
of gravitation was under discussion
when one of the boys said that he
didn't see any need of it, anyway.
"It seems to me." said he, "there's no
particular use in having the earth at
tract things. Now, when the apple
fell and made Newton think out the
reason for it. that apple might just as
well have stayed where it was until
somebody gathered it."
"You play ball, don't you?" asked
the teacher. "Well, suppose you knock
the ball very high, what happens?"
"It falls."
"But If there were no attraction to
ward the earth It wouldn't fall. Don't
you think that might prove inconven
ent?'"
"My," cried the boy, "what a bully
chance for a home run !"-Chicago

Her Supposition.
In the Beecher family the name of
Mrs. Stowe was often quoted to the
rising generation as one having au
thority. She was also quoted ad nau
seam, it would seem, from a story told
by the Woman's Journal. On one oc
casion a grandniece of Mrs. Stowe be
came very angry at a playmate and,
stamping her foot, said, "I hate you,
and I don't want anything more to do
with you, nor your manservant, nor
your maidservant, nor your ox, nor
your ass." Her mother sternly re
proved her, asking he if she knew
ihat she was saying.
Little Miss Beecher promptly replied,
"Yes; the Tea Commandments."
"Well, do you know who wrote
them?"
The child, looking disgusted, answer
ed: "Goodness, yes. Aunt Harriet did,
I s'pose."
The Word "Poultry."
Poultry, according to the definition
given in one standard encyclopedia, In
eludes "the whole of the domesticated
birds reclaimed by man for the sake of
their flesh and their eggs." The word
comes from the Latin "pullus," which
could mean a young horse or donkey
as wvell as a chick (the English "foal"
Is akin to this), through the French
"poule," a fowl. But it Is curious that
"poultry" has no French version, the
nearest equivalent being "volatIle," or
"oseaux de basse cour," birds of the
low yard. German in Its descriptive
way knows poultry as "federvich,"
feather cattle.
An Unmentioned Ancestor.
Mr. B. if very proud of his ancient
lineage and never lets slip an oppor
tunity to boast of it. At a dinner
where he had been unusually rampant
on this subject a fellow guest quieted
him by remarking, "If you climb much
further up your family tree you will
come face to face with the monkey."

Hlmorous Chinese Graft.
A certain Chinese taotal (magIstrate)
having told his men to have two ingots
of gold sent to his treasury for pur
chase, the shopmen brought them In
and in answer to the query of the tao
tai told him that the price was so much
in taels, but added. "This is the or
dinary price, but for your honor we
will knock off one-half of the price."
Then the taotai said to his underlings:
"Seeing that they are to sell to me at
only one-half price, just give them
back one ingot of gold and put the
other in my treasury, and thus their
account is settled. Goodby." So the
underlings of the yamen did so. but
still the shopmen hung around wait
ing. The taotai asked them why they
were waiting, when their account had
been already settled. Said the shop
men. 'Wn a did your honor pay your
humble servants?" Then the magis
trate answered with a very fierce air:
"Taio nu ts-ai" (impertinent slaves),
'"did you not say that these two gold
ingots were half price to me? Then
did I not give you back one ingot and
keep the other and thus settle your ac
count without the least injustice ac
cording to your own proposition? So

A Singular Calculation.
It would require, according to the
calculations of a scientist, the power
of a 10,000 horsepcwer engine about
70,000,000,000 years to lift the earth
a foot in height, and to do this work,
allowing thirteen pounds of water per
horsepower per hour, would require
some 10.000,000.000,000,000.000 gallons
of water, or more than would be dis
charged at the mouth of the Mississip
pi in 6.000 years. This would be
enough, the writer estimates. to cover
the entire surface of the earth to a
depth of not less than 300 feet. to
convert which into steam, using good
boilers, would require some 4.000,000,
000,000,000 tons of coal. If the latter
quantity of the mineral was loaded on
cars of twenty tons each it would de
mand 200,000,000,000,000 such cars.
If the latter were thirty feet long and!
all coupled together in one train it!
would reach around the earth 45.000,
000 times and, if running twenty-five
miles per hour, would consume 25,000,
000 years in running the length of it
self. So much for figures.
"Crocodile Tears."
The phrase "crocodile tears" owes
its.origin to the imagination of some
of the old travelers, who Invented the
fable that the crocodile weeps over its
prey. One of the earliest English globe
trotters to mention this fiction was Sir
John Mandeville, who In his "Travels"
(1499), speaking of ".Ethlop," "Ynde"
and an "Yle elept Silla," says:
"That Lond Is full of Serpents and
of Cokadrilles. These Cokadrilles ben
a manner of Long Serpente, zalowe

"I'm Mr. Brown," the boy replied.
"But possibly you want to see old Mr.
