Gentle Percussion
Many stories are told of the eccentric
doings and sayings of an old clergyman
wiio lived In Maine som^ years ago.
t one time there had been a fight
among some men, one of whom was
aerlously hurt. A trial took place, and
the old minister, who had seen the atfray,
was summoned as a witness.
"What was Sahos doing?" was the
first question.
"Oh, he was slashing around."
"Well, sir, jast what do yon mean by
thatr
"Why, he was knocking about him
here and there."
"Now, air, kind 17 tell t? plainly what
Bihn? did to this man."
"Why, be?h# enticed him," said the
^ | "Enticed hlrn! So ?r

Try to Do This.
'Take a light chair and place t with
Its back to the wall. Stand In Trout of
ft, facing the wall, with the toes about
a foot from the front feet of the chair,
and, placing one hand on each -side of
the chair, lean forw ard until the top of
your head touches the wall. The -problem
is to lift the chair from the floor
and, without moving the feet te take
the head away from the waT! and
atand upright Simple as this appears,
ft Ss impossible. Very few people, as
yea will find, would anticipate any dlf
Acuity in doing this. Get them to try
This trick is, of course, very Hke the
old one of standing against a wall
tldeWise. with the shoulder and one
0KTt touching the wall. It Is then hnp?tfble
to raise the outside foot with*
out losing one's balance and CaSing
away from the wall.
Russian Ritual.
The Christening of a Russian prince
la a ceremony of a most ritnallstSe nature.
The infant is first of all undressed
and Immersed three times In the
font The hair is then cut in the form
of a cross, and the shorn locks, having
been rolled in war, are next dropped
Into the water. According as the ball
i sinks ?r floats in the font, to, says
^ Russian superstition. does good or evil
1 attend the child through life. The
next Incident In this elaborate ritual Is
j the robing of the child In gorgeous
< garments, after which it Is carried
three times round the church, the godfathers
of the Imperial infant walking
bj its side In stalely procession.
?
Coal Combustion.
i There Is enough explosive energy In
a grateful of coal if It could be liberated
and controlled, to hnrl a 1,000
pound projectile through a foot of solid
steel. But there can be no explosion
without oxygen, and the coal in the
grate will not burn faster than the supply
of air which reaches it will permit
If the coal could be furnished all at
| once with enough air to effect Its com'
plete combustion. It would explode
with as great violence as if it were so
N much dynamite.

The Manchester Martyrs.
Along In *07 or thereabouts some ;
Irishmen tried to rescue a bunch of
Fenian prisoners In Manchester, and a
police sergeant was shot and killed.
The prisoners got away, which may
hare had something to do with the upshot
too. The government was natur- j
ally sore, and they managed to bang
three of the rescue party without too 1
I rmirh fine haired fosa as to whether |
they had anything to do with the shoot- :
log or not. At that time Fenians and '
Nationalists were at daggers drawn,
and the church was heavy against the

one. one ha agony and shame over
tboee Irish bays strung up In an Bng- :
Hsh town. All their helplessness, all
die bitterness of England's might England
managed with those halters to ;
drive festering deep afresh. Think of {

Shop Without a Name.
Jn the Devonshire town of Mudbonr
there to a butcher's shop wbictr boa no
(name nor has It had one for the last I
120 years. The reason affords a striking
(illustration of the soperstHtoos nature
of west country folk. When this
particular business was started, the
owner for some reason or other did not
lhave his name Inscribed oa the prem- i
lses. Whether this fact bad onytlilng
to do with the success of the business
'or not it would be difficult to say.
Trade, however, was brisk, and the
; butcher duly retired, leaving the nameless
shop to bis son. The business has
been handed down from father to son
for more than 120 years, but none of
those into whose occupation It has
come would have bis name put up on
any consideration, fearing?as. In fact,
the present owner does today?that
-such a procedure might break the spell
of eood fortune with which the busi
ness has been favored.?London Standard.
Those Who Tio Knots.
Can any one tell why fha lrnffhfbber
In tying a cord around a package or
anything else will always make a granny
knot Instead of a square rfot?
all do It in spite of thunder. Te .tie a
reef knot or sailor's ?not requires
thought and experience. Tet it is as
easy as a granny knot. Never believe
Tor a moment that sailors are the only
people In the world who can tie knots.
Go to an operating theater in some big
hospital and take note of the Skill
with which surgeons and even nurses
employ bandages and ligatures. Learn
from them bow to tie the clove hitch,
the combined surgeon's and reef knot,
the Staffordshire knot the common
surgeon's knot the friction knot Hensen's
knot Tait's knot etc.?Secw York

\ Carefully Selected.
One of the most remarkable fieatures
of life in New South Wales Is the
transformation of criminals tote hardwarktog
citizens. Of the 30,000 settlers
there In 1821, 20,000 were or had
been convicts. It Is said that on board
an American liner a boastful Australian
asserted loudly and over and ever
again that "the men who settled Australia
were a remarkably sensible lot"
Tee," said an American quietly,
have always understood that they we?
sent out by the very best Judges."
Preparing For Dinner.
One of the residents of the town of
Idvor was noted for his parsimony.
Let us call him Mr. Wiggles. There
was an old major In Idvor who said to
I vaiar />n* ?vanlnc "Oo and tell the
cook to get me ready a chop and a
poached egg." "Pardon me, major,"
eald the valet, "hot have yon foe gotten
that you are dining with Mr. Wiggles
tonight?" The major frowned. "Yea,"
he said, "I had forgotten it Tell the
cook to make it two chops and two
poached eggs."
Antony and Cleopatra.
Cleopatra was riding in her barge.
"It la a beautiful view from here," she
remarked in Egyptian words to that
effect
"Yea," responded Antony. "I took
care to get you a Nile eat"
Whereat the rowers did laugh lustily.
Cabbage Leaves.
"Do you think cabbage Is unwholesome?"
asked a dyspeptic.
It depends somewhat" answered
the food expert "on whether you eat
it or try to smoke it"?Washington
Star.
A Kjnd Examiner.
8ir John Stainer was dearly loved by
the students when he was professor of
music at Oxford. "As an examiner he
was most considerate," said one who
studied under him. "and would always
do his host to g?t you 'through.* 1 reuieuiher
his asking me a poser in a
viva voce examination. He waited pnt
otitiy f>r the answer: but. partly
through my nervousness no doubt, I
could u think of it. At length he
exclaimed testily. "Hear me. how stuffy
this ro ?i:i is t > I e sure.* and he went
an 1 begin tugging at f!ie ventilator
eord. It was quite tv > minutes before
he irot the thing open, and by the
time he had sat down again and rearranged
his gown I hail the ahswer |

day with a r.ian who wis examined
quite soon after me. I told him how
the ventilator had served me. 'How
remarkable.* he replied. 'Why. when
I was stuck he said. "II aw extraordinary
drafty this place is." and spent
quite two minutes In shutting the ventilator.'

The Razor In Disrepute.
"And he told her nil his nean. hiig
said unto her. there hatb not come a
razor upon mine head, for I have been
a N'azarite unto God from m.v mother's
womb; If I be shaven, then my
strength will go from me. and I shall
become weak and I* like other men."
-Judges xri. 17.
Hair cm mnn or brute is a sign of
strength. He who desires to keep at a
safe distance from dentists, let him
keep also at a great distance from the
knife of the burlier. To shave is an act
against nature. Provoke nature, and
in return nature will provoke yon.
Said DanM Wel?ster: "? the razor:
It has taught me to curse. It has cost
me more time and more trouble tlipn
all my speeches."
Rnftts Choate. the lawyer, called the
raxor an instrument Invented by Lodfer
to fin tip hell with barristers.
Edward Everett never used profane
language, but before shaving be wonld
invariably give vent to all sorts of
Preach barbarisms.
Jordan Water.
TVrrr is a general impression that
the Jordan water which is used at
royal baptisms Is taken from the sacred
stream. put into a bottle, berpsetlcally
pealed and left untouched autil
the toottle Is opened by the officiating
priest As -a matter of fact the water
trtftch flows out ctf the lake of Galilee
and descends a rocky gorge to
a *evel fat below that of the Mediterranean
If full of organic substances.
If a bot'ip be filled with the water
and 'key: tbthfiy corked for a few
days It f'trns perfectly black -and offers
to the nostrils nil the odors of
the tropics. Tb? precaution Is therefore

Tht Undertaker's Shop.
~"Tbe one thing In New Tortt that I
can't get used to." said the country
Visitor. "Is the manifold uses to which
undertakers put their shops. I used to
"be of the opinion that the only possible
errand a person could have at an undertaker's
was to purchase funeral
supplies, but in this town 1 find that
people go there for all sorts, of pun
poses. They go to vote, to get married
and to transact all tbe legal business

transacting. Yesterday I even saw a

1 Irascible Garlyls.
A. lady who lived near Thomas Carlyle
keptOochin China fowls, and their
crowing was such a nuisance that the
philosopher sent a complaint to her.
The owner was Indignant upon hearing
?he appeal.
"Why." said she, "they crow only
four times a day. and bow can Mr.

Cpon hearing of her attitude upon
the subject Carlyle replied, "The lady
forgets the pals I suffer In waiting for
thoas four crows."
