Golnem Gate Fogs. The fogs of the Pacitc and especial ly those on the coast of California, Oregon and Washington present some characteristic features of their own. They are low lying. dense arnd of fre- 4 quent and regular occurrence and have been the cause directly and indirectly of a large percentage of marine dis asters in the vicinity of San Francisco. Owing to the general movement of tho air from the sea toward the land and the climate of the great interior valley. fog is frequent and well marked. In I summer the afternoon sea fog varies in depth from 100 to 1,700 feet, but it rarely reaches far inland. On some afternoons the velocity of thcwind at 4 San Francisco rises with almost clock like regularity to about twenty-two miles an hour, and a solid wall of fog. averaging 1.500 feet in height. comes through the Golden Gate. causing a fall in temperature to about that of 4 the sea-namely, 55 degrees F. The upper level of-the fog can be plainly seen from the hills in the vicinity. Above the fog level the air is cloud less, and the afternoon temperature ranges from SO degrees F. to 90 de grees F-.-Chicago News. 4 Saved by Irving's Recital. Sir Henry Irving. through the real istic portrayal of the sufferings of a haunted man by his recital of "Eu gene Aram," caused one human being to be saved years of agony and sus pense. A murder had been committed in a certain neighborhood. and a man bad been seen in the vicinity where the crime was perpetrated. lie hiin self knew that he was innocent. but feared to face or run the risk of a trial. Therefore, although cleverly disguised. he ventured out only at night. One night he went to the gallery of a thea ter where Henry Irving was playinga and in listening to the recital of "Eu gene Aram" lost sight of the fact that Eugene really did the murder. The 4 great actor so vividly imparted the happy sense of relieved conscience which follows confession that the fol lowing day he gave himself up to the I police. The evidence was not strong enough to convict, so he was able to bravely face the world instead ;of crawling about the earth the most mis erable of all creatures, a haunted man. -London Sketch. A Torrent of Meteors. The great shower of stars which took place on Nov. 13, 1833, and was seen over the greater part of the Unit ed States extended over the north At lantic and from the great lakes to the West Indies and Central America. An old paper of that time. describing the scene as it appeared at the falls of Ni agara. says, "The awful roar of the cataract filled the mind of the specta tor with an infinitely heightened sense of sublimity when its waters were lighted up by the glare of the mete oric torrent in the sky." In southern Indiana, where the display was fully as brilliant, many persons were badly frightened, believing the end of the world, so often predicted, was at hand. As the end of the world did not come, the thirteenth day of the month was thereafter for several years marked down as a lucky day in the calendar. Indianapolis News. .The Fighting Turk. - The Turk is a great tighting man, perhaps the best in the world-that is. on land, for as a sailor he has never shone. He is a great tighter because he is physically a strong man. ..The Turkish peasantry, from whom the army Is recruited, have-to work hard: for a bare living, and there is no room among them for weaklings. I Therefore ths Turkish soldier is capa ble of tremendous feats of endurance and can live on nothing or nest door to it. Then he is accustomed to fight ing almost from babyhood. On theI frontiers .and in the country districts of Turkey there is always trouble going on. Death in battle has no terrors for him, for by his religion It assures him of paradise.-London Answers Question For Question "I shall discharge our butler," said: Mr. Cumrox. "What's the trouble?" "Be doesn't show me proper defer ence. When I am paying a man liber ally I consider it his duty to laugh at my jokes." "And won't he?" "I don't think he can. He's an Eng lish butler. When in a spirit of gentle~ and condescending badinage I said to; him.

She won't give him a chance to say a word."-Clevelandi Plain Dealer. Wall Street and Stocks. Probably 80 per cent of the stocks bought and sold for speculation on the Stock Exchange are bought and sold not upon conviction, but on example. A majority of the time it is true that the strongest reason people have for buying is that others buy, or vice versa. -New York Post. Effort.

Whistler one afternoon called on. a young painter of his acquaintance who did the pretty little sort of things that are popular. In the course of the con versation that followed the young art ist turned to a little head he was painting and, daintily balancing a square palette by one corner between two finger tips, took a fine sable brush and as daintily began to tickle a piece of bad drawing into a "sweet expres sion," saying: "A pleasant art, ours, isn't it, Jimmy?" "Yes," was Whistler's response, "but what are you doing, Frank?" "Oh," said the young artist, "I am painting a replica of a little thing some one liked because, you know, I can al ways sell two or three of the same subject, If it's a taking one." "Alb!" commented Whistler, "you must be a genius, Frank, and I. alas, am like the simple minded hen who, when asked to do so, protested that she could not lay the same egg twice!" A Grave Discussion. The late Joseph Jefferson and his sister, Mrs. Cornelia Jackson, famous as Tilly Slowboy in "The Cricket on the Hearth," were standing at a studio window on Beacon street, Boston, overlooking the Old Granary burying ground. They had been discussing the famous persons whose graves were spread below them, when, breaking a short interval of silence, Jefferson said in the most mournful of tones, "Con nie, my dear, that is the best place for me, after al," With a horrified expression on her face, as her brother always avoided grewsome subjects, she asked, "What do you mean, Joe?" With the twinkle In his eye that three generations of the world haye known, the actor remarked blandly, "I said 'after all,' Connie." In a flash his sister retorted, "No, Joe, dear, that's no place for you. There are too many deadheads there." -Boston Post. What Hichens Heard. While still a student of music Rob ert Hichens wrote many short stories, verses and songs. In .one year, he says, he earned over $500 by writing scores and lyrics for music. One song, "A Kiss and Goodby," wss sung by Mime. Patti in. Albert hall, London. "In the natural pride of my heart," Mr. Hichens said with reference to this occasion, "I took a seat in the stalls and waited in a fever of excite I ment to hear how it would go off. It was received with so much enthusias tic applause that I was lifted into a delicious heaven of delight, but was suddenly tumbled headlong by hear ing two voices from the seats immedi ately behind me. "'What a lovely song that was,' one exclaimed rapturously. "'Yes,' the other grudgingly agreed, 'but what awful rot the words of these songs always are.'"-Exchange. Cleaning an Ocean Liner. Probably few people are aware that during the -few hours a great ocean liner remains in dock she is cleaned thoroughly inside and out. The hull is repainted, the funnels scraped and cleaned and every piece of exposed metal polished. Meanwhile all carpets are taken up and beaten, the floors scrubbed and repainted and tables re polished, chairs regilded and stained, in every part of the ship. On the great boats there are more than 30,000 pieces of linen to be counted, sorted, prepared and laundered. Then there are 15,000 pieces of silverware, 25,000 pieces of glassware, some 00,000 dish es, plates, cups, saucers, etc. As soon as a piece shows signs of wear it is discarded and replaced, and all this work has to be done in a few hours. Pearson's Weekly. Vegetables and Character. A Paris contemporary states that a well known doctor read a paper before a meeting of medical men on the In fuence of vegetables upon the charac ter, the brain and the senses. Accord ing to the doctor, the potato develops an evenness of temper and eannness of thought. The carrot acts as a stimu lant to the character and is recomn mended for biliousness and to peevish or jealous persons. Spinach develops ambitious dreams and energy. Sorrel, despite its acidity, induces sadness and provokes nightmare. All workers should eat white haricots.--London Globe. '' A Thrifty Spouse. A man whose illness threatened to develop into typhoid was taken to the hospitaL. Instead of growing worse he improved, and at the end of the fourth Sday, when his wife visited him, he asked to be taken home.
