The young man was noL "You've heard that we're to have a new theater back home' the woman asked to make conversation. " -Oh of course." the young man an swered. "I get all the news. I get a letter from Kansas City every day." The woman began to laugh. "So when you go back home for that vacation you're going to be marriedF' she mused. "[low did you know that?" the man cried. "We both said we wouldn't tell. And now she's" "You told me yourself a few seconds ago. everything but the date." she an swered. "You see. no matter how fond your brother may be of you or your uncles or aunts or your mother or fa ther. none of these would send you a letter every day. There's only one person who writes a letter every day, and that's a girl who's engaged to be married. For tbe rest of my sentence I added two and two." "You're right." the man mused.

Ampere. who left his name to the science of electricity, was a child gen ius. At the age of three he had taught himself to count with the aid of peb bles and had found out for himself a good many of the theories of arith metic. At this age he became very ill and was for three days denied food. At the end of the fast he was given a biscuit, but Instead of eating it he broke It up Into pieces to count with. an operation he considered more Inter esting. He read everything with avidity. 'Ills mind did not run in one channel. and he welcomed every volume that came In his way. When he was ten or twelve years old he went to a library to ask for the works of a certain au thor. The librarian told him in amuse ment that the books were in Latin. The boy went home chagrined. for he did not know Latin, being a sickly child and held back from books as far as possible. but after six weeks he ap peared again and told the librarian he had learned to read the books now. Ampere Is one of the few child prod igles who seems to have been sickly. He had fits from time to time. while most child wonders appear to have been physically normal In every re spect.-Exchange. Freaks of Language. A peculiar kind of blundering known as "folk etymology" is responsible for some of the queerest freaks of lan guage. An easy example will make this clear. Our American word "car ryall' for a kind of vehicle is not a. compound of "carry" and "all." but a slight distortion of the French "cearri ole." a diminutive car. The change was made in obedience to the uni versal tendency to nasimilate the un known to the known, to make words mean something by associating them with others which they resemble In sound. Often there Is no etymological relation between the words associated. as when sparrowgrass is made out of a'paragus. This particular corruption was once In such good colloquial use that Walker, the lexicographer, wrote. "'Sparrowgrass is so general that as paragus has an air of stiffness and pedantry." His Critic.

The family had stood the long strain of Uncle Hobart's illness well, but the peculiarities of the physician chosen by Uncle Hobart himself had been, to say the least, trying.

"I know bow you feel, with Thanks giving comning on, and all." said the doctor. peering at her from under his shagy eyebrows, "but it.s too soon to tell. He may get well, and then again he may not.

Lord Charles Hamilton used to go ahnut Naplea attended by a large, fe rocious bulidt g. Having decided upon going to iome, he proceeded to the station and took his place in a tirst class carriage. the "dawg" taking up a position on a seat opposite his mas ter. The platform inspector, with many gesticulations, declared that the bulldog should not travel In a passen ger carriage. 'Very well, then; take him out." was Lord Charles' rejoinder. In vain the official expostulated. He merely reiterated his former reply, a piece of advice It is needless to sA which was not followed, and Lord Charles, apparently master of the sit uation. threw himself back in his seat and calmly lighted a cigar. But the Italians were not to be out done, and, quietly detaching the car riage in which the English -milor' ,was seated, they made up the train % th another compartment and started it off. Lord Charles sat quietly smoking for about a quarter of an hour and then. surprised at the delay. thrust his head out of the window and demanded when the train was going to start. His feelings when the situation was de scribed to him may be imagined.-Lon don Tit-Bits. A WONDERFUL DREAM. The Poor Cobbler Who Found Him self Upon a Throne. It was in the days of Philip the Good, duke of Burgundy. that a cob bler mounted a royal throne. As the duke was traveling one night to Bruges he came upon a man stretched upon the ground sound asleep, and bade his attendants carry him to the -palace, strip off his rags and place him. robed In fine linen. In his own bed. When the man awoke next morning he was addressed as "your highness" and astounded to find himself among such rich surroundings. In vain he protested that he was no prince. but a poor cobbler. They asked him what clothing he would wear and at last conducted him, splendidly dressed. to man in the ducal chapel. Every cere mony was observed throughout the day. The cobbler appeared in public in his new role, was received on all sides by command of the duke with deep respect and ended his brief reign in the palace with a grand supper and ball. When presently he fell asleep he was reclothed in his rags and taken to the spot where he had been found when this practical joke was con ceived. Waking in due time. he re turned home and related to his wife what he took to be his wonderful dream. Sacred Nuts of Japan. Although well known to travelers and collectors of curiosities, the horn nut, or "sacred nut." of Japan was al most wholly unknown to fruit and nut dealers In this country prior to 1&o& when a New York commission mer chant received the first large consign ment. They are called "sacred nuts" because used ina certain forms of Jap anese worship. where they are placed on the altar and ignited. Being very rich in oil, they burn with a hot, bluish flame and give off a peculiar odor, the; fumes being supposed to rise as an ac ceptable Incense to the gods. They! grow under water and have a leaf like an American lily, the form of the nut Itself being an almost exact counter-I part of an Asian buffalo's head, droop-, ing horns and alL In the raw state; they are hard and tasteless, but when cooked the flavor resembles that of boIleJi chestnuts. They are said to re tan their edible qualities for upward of twenty years. Vanished Mountains. It has been observed that in the neighborhood of great ranges of moun tain the force of grav-ity is slighter than elsewhere, and the explanation Is that the earth's crust~is less dense be-; neath the places where it has beenj heaved up. Assuming this to be al general law. one authority points out that It is possible to discover where ancient mountains now worn away and leveled by the action of the ele ments once existed, because the den sity of the underlying rocks has not changed.

Harpoon. With the harpoon as a weapon the hunters left the solid Ice to spring 'ightly from one small piece to an tLer'fntil a pan large enough to hold them was reached far out in the open lake. The pieces over which the pas sage was made were often so small that they would have sunk under a man's weight had he faltered or hesi tated upon them for a moment. It seemed to me that the Eskimos were absolutely reckless in this passage over the broken pieces and took no account of tl' .anner in which they should return. Certainly only a fear less man with a clear eye and nerves of iron could accomplish it. A large, safe pan once attained well in the midst of the blowing walrus, a stand was taken near Its edge. where. with harpoon poised, the hunter wait ed until a walrus came within striking distance. Then like lightning the weapon was sunk deep into the ani mal's body, and quick as a .ash a har poon shaft provided with a heavy point of iron was driven firmly Into the Ice and several turns of line taken around it and held taut by the Eskimo. This strong line held the walrus in spite of its struggles to free itelf, and not an Inch was surrendered to it by the Eskimo. As the walrus gradually tired the line was tightened little by little until finally the great animnal was well alongside the pan, when it was quickly dispatched with a lance. iLarry Whitney in Outing. WAITING FOR A WIFE. One Man Who Thought Twenty Years Was Just a Starter. "There's romance for you," said lit tle Binks, putting aside his morning paper. "This paper has a story of a college professor who met a beautiful girl twenty years ago. fell in love with her at frst sight and then lost sight of her altogether. Now. after waiting for twenty years. he Is rewarded by lead ing her to the altar as his bride. Just think of it. waiting twenty years for a wife!" "What of it?" asked the genial phi losopher. "There's nothing extraor dinary about that. I've waited thirty fire years for mine." "You? Waited thirty-five years? Why. I thought you'd been married that long!" said little Binks. "I have," said the genial philosopher. "Thats how i know how long rve waited. I've waited for her to get her gloves on about three years. I've wait ed for her to change her hat about four years. rve waited while she said just one last word to the cook for at least five years. IVe waited upstairs. rve waited -downstairs. re waited at church, I've waited at the theater, and I have waited in cabs, omnibuses, tax les, motorcars and the Lord knows what else besides. Fact Is. Binksy. rye waited se long, so often and so regularly that between you and me that little college professor of yours, with only one wait of twenty years, strikes me as a miserable little piker." -Harper's Weekly. The Word "Woebegone." The word "woebegone" is an inter esting survhval of the far past. "Be gone" here represents the past partici ple of the Anglo-Saxon verb "began." to go around about, a word which has otherwise entirely disappeared from our vocabulary, but which has its anal ogies in such verbs as "beset" and "be gird,'' in which the prefix "be" repre sents the modern preposition "by." A woebegon countenance Is thus that of a man compassed about with woe,. though perhaps it is most generally used in a somewhat slighting manner to imply that the appearanee of grief is greater than the circumstances war rant. Thus It has partially undergone the same process of degeneration which has made "maudlin,- tears" original tears of penitence from Mary Magdalene - bear a contemptuous meaning-London Standard.

The growth of an average finger nail Is about one thirty-second of an inch a week, or nearly one and one-half inches in a year. so those aristocratic Chinese who proudly exhibit nails six to eight inches in length must have refrained from cutting them at least four to six years. Finger nails grow faster In the summer than in winter. The nail on the middle finger grows faster than any of the others, and that of the thumb is slowest in growth. The nails of the right hand grow fast er than those of the left. A nail is supposed to reach Its full growth In about four and a half months, and at this rate a man seventy years old would have renewed his nails 1G2 times. On each finger he would have grown nine feet of nail, or on all his fingers and thumbs no tess than ninety feet of nail.-St. Louis Republic. Odd Signs. A tiniman in the south of England has a sign which reads, -Quart Meas ures of All Shapes and Sizes Sold Here."
