An engineering operation uptown made it necessary a few days ago for one of the workmen to hold another on a rope halfway down a deep well. A fall would probably have been fatal, and Patrick kept the rope tight and steady while Terence made the dangerous descent. After, a quarter of an hour Patrick's attention wandered to something else. Instinctively he kept hold of the rope, but he did not hear Terence calling to him that it was time to pull him up until his fellow worker raised his voice in angry protest. h'Tull me up," called Terence. m "Pull mc up, I tell ye. If ye don't <7/*"\pull me up, drat ye, I'll cut the rope, and then whcrc'll you be?"? Philadelphia Times. The City of Paris. The .founders of Paris, emigrating from some Greek or Etruscan country on the shores of the Mcdi terranean sea, rowed their galleys up the river Seine. They took possession of the island in that stream on which their city is built and, according to the legends that have come down to the present time, called it "Baris," which is Greek ^ ~ * ??v\An 4Kn rlrnr I or a DO a I men useu u[>uu mv mvt Nile, whence Paris. The island on which the adventurers landed was held to tvpify a boat, and to this day the coat of arms of that famous city is an ancient galley.?Argonaut. * One Way Out An influential woman member of a fashionable church in Philadelphia had gone to her pastor with the complaint that she was greatly disturbed by one of her neighbors. "Why," said she, "that man in the pew behind ours destroys all my devotional feelings when he tries to sing. Couldn't you ask him to change his .pew?" The pastor reflected. "'Well," said he at last, "1 naturally feel a little delicacy on that score, especially as I should have to give a reason. But I tell you what I might do?I might ask him to join the choir." r * ???? ?:@:@:@:?:@.?:?:?:?:? | SUMMER 1 @ ? @ 1 THU ? ?. Q / @ ^ @ @ ? :?:?:?:?:?:?.?:?.' j * * A )*+ v'i'*.. -<*i?

At about 300 degrees below zero or thsreabout almost everything becomes phosphorescent, or, in other : words, shines in the dark after bc| ing exposed to an intense light. Even the air itself is phosphorescent at such a temperature, but j curiously enough a slight impurity I in the air experimented with de1 stroys its phosphorescent property. ; If a perfumed handkerchief is shaken in a room, for instanoe, and airfrom that room is then inclosed in a tube and its temperature is lowered to the required degree no phosphorescence appears. The air must be filtered and thus freed from organic substances and from | hydrogen in order that the phe nomena of phosphorescence and of ; flourescence, which is akin to it, may be produced. Among the substances that have , been rendered phosphorescent at low temperatures are ivory, horn, eggs, gelatin, india rubier, sponges, albumen, milk, leather, cotton, torl toise shell and certain flowers. The metals also exhibit phosphoj resccnce, but it is thought that this ; is due to an organic layer on their j surface, because when they have j been scorched they lose their phosphorescent power. Experience seems to indicate that the more complex the chemical constitution of a body is the more intense is its phosphorescence. The reason suggested for this is that the structure of a complex body offers special facilities for the absorption of the vibrations of light. In fact, experiments within the last few years have shown so many surprising results that highly important questions as to' the nature of matter and the constitution pf the universe have begun to be based upon them. It has been asked, for instance, whether some of the stars which wc have, regarded as fiercely blazing suns may not in fact owe their luminosity to the phosphorescence arising from a low temperature.?Harper's Weekly. A Young Flatterer. Alpha 3d, aged six, had been cautioned by his mamma after an appalling break of his in inquiring the age of a lady with whom it wat an uncertain and delicate matter never to allude to anybody's age 01 if the age of a person was mentioned casually to let the person believe that that person looked younger. Occasion came within t few days for Alpha, to put these Chesterfield ian instructions intc use. An old gentleman visiting th< family remarked, with the natura pride octogenarians sometimes show ; in their distance beyond the con ventional threescore and ten, tha1 he was eighty-seven. "I am sure Mr. White," said the dutiful child "that you don't look more thai eighty-six."?Boston Transcript.

Its oarsmen presented arms as the commandant of the fort ascended the gangway to the captain's bridge. "Sir," the Portuguese officer panted, "we are all out of powder.

Dining one day with a friend and being pressed to take some rhubarb pie, Lamb declined because it was physic. I "That may be," said his host, "but it is pleasant and innocent." "So is a daisy," rejoined Lamb, "but I don't therefore like daisy | P?e" j "Daisy pie! Who ever heard of j daisy pies?" said some one at the table. "My authority is Shakespeare," ! Lamb replied. "He expressly meni tions daisies pied." The phrase occurs in the song at ' the end of "Love's Labor's Lost." ?"Side Lights on Charles Lamb." What Carlyle Wrote of Tennyson.

A young cotton worker and his j wife had been married only a few j months, but it was quite apparent j. to the wife that her husband's af- j' : fection for her was on the wane. John developed a tendency to stay out late at night, and now it was early morning when his wife heard j i a violent knocking at the door, i "Who's there ?" asked she from the j bedroom window. "It's me," replied John meekly. "I've just come from the meeting. We have been considering the present strike." "Oh, have you?
