Tlie Old Man's Adven?ase s,
A man past fifty can do with less
sleep than younger men. He can en?
dure greater steady and prolonged
strain. He can bear his burden day
after day with less need cf recreation.
The young man can "sprint," but he
cannot "stay" like the man with brain
grown iron and nerves steel by many
years of trailing.
Elderly men are less temptable. They
are of fixed moral habit. Appetite and
passion are under control. For better
or for worse they are a calculable
quantity, with slight variations to be
taken into account.
Elderly men are more loya 1 as
friends if they are friends. Their at?
tachment to a cause or a commercial
house is less changeable. They have,
moreover, given fconds for good beha?
vior in the persons of grown families
whose respect is to them dearer than
Jife. They know the difficulty of re?
pairing mistakes.
Elderly men actually have experi?
ence. The older man best reads char?
acter. He is the wisest to select agents.

Nebraska "Bug Eaters."
A Nebraska judge was asked how it j
was that the citizens of his state were
nicknamed "bug eaters."
The name is applied to us some?
times in the east," answered the judge
frankly. "It originated many jears
ago in a peculiar way, incident to a
speech. Back in 1S74 a swarm of grass?
hoppers descended upon our fair state
and despoiled everything. Crops were
swept away before this army of in
sects, and the people were left desti- j
tote. An appeal went up for aid, and ]
some of our eloquent Nebraskans jour- j
neyed east to plead our cause. One of j
these eloquent citizens in a flight of :
speech declared that the voracious j
grasshoppers had even eaten the lires |
off wagon wheels and were devouring j
the railroad tracks. " 'Why, our people i
have nothing but grasshoppers and j
"bugs/ was the climax of this orator's j
speech !" exclaimed the judge.
"And now you have the history of i
the sobriquet of 'bug eaters,' " he con- !
eluded.-Washington Post.
An Old Superstition.
Superstition connected with the sev?
enth child of a seventh child is com?
memorated by a tombstone in a village
churchyard- near Bridgewater, Somer?
set TMs inscription rues: "Sacred to
the memory of Doctress Anne Pouns
berry, who departed this life Dec. ll,
ISlo, aged seventy-three years. Stand
still and consider the wondrous works
of God." Doctress was not merely an
epithet but a baptismal name, for she
was a seventh daughter of a seventh
daughter and was therefore credited
with powers of healing. She practiced
in herbs and charms. For king's evil
this was her prescription: "Take the
legs of a toad. Bake and grind them to
powder with pestle and mortar. Place
the powder in a bag around the neck of
the suiferer.'V-London Chronicle.
Antiquity of Glass.
So far as research has been able to
determine glass was in use 2.000 years
"before the birth of Christ and was
even then not in its infancy by any
manner of means. In the Slade collec?
tion at the British museum there is tae
head of a lion molded in glass, bearing
the name of an Egyptian king of the
eleventh dynasty. This is th? oldest
specimen of pure glass bearing any?
thing like a date now known to exist.
The invention now known as "bleed?
ing," the mode of varnishing pottery
with a thin film of glass, is believed to
.date back to the first Egyptian dynas?
ty. Proof of this is found in the pot?
tery beads, glass glazed, found in the
tombs of the age above referred to.
Weeping Trees.
The literature of "weeping trees'' is
enormous, much of it being plainly
mythical, but there is a large basis of
fact upon which most of these mar
relous stories rest Many travelers
nave described the famous 'Tain tree"
?of Padradoca, Isle cf Ferro. John
Cockburn in 1735 described a tree at
Vera Pas, Central America, from
which pure water continually dripped ?
from every leaf and branch.
Grief and Thrift.
Thomas Bailey Aldrich once received
a pathetic letterln a feminine hand an?
nouncing the death of a little daughter
and asking if he would not send in his
own handwriting a verse or two from
"".Babio Bell" to assuage the grief o?
the household.
Aldrich sent the whole poem and not
long after saw it displayed in the shop
of an autograph dealer, with a good,
round price attached thereto.
Quite Proper.
*Tm thinking of sending my little

Tipping: Qnlck Lunch Waiters.
Two men sat side by side on the
high stools of one of those quick lunch
places lined with pale tiles like a
bathroom that abound in Philadelphia.
One of them said to the other: "In a
cafe like this few persons tip the wait?
er behind the counter. They think it
would be a waste of money, because
thc waiter calls their orders down a
tube into a kitchen somewhere under
ground, and they hold that he has no
jurisdiction over the portions and that
they are served just the same whether
they tip them or not.
"Well, they are altogether mistaken.
I know, for I have made a study of
this matter. The waiter here has two
! tones with which to speak through the
! tube. One tone is for the patron who
tips, the other for him who doesn't.
Now, watch a minute." The waiker in
an ordinary voice now called three or?
ders and then in a strange falsetto
called that 'of the man who had been
speaking. "You see?" said he to his
companion. "I tip and those other fel?
lows don't" A moment later he added
triumphantly: "Look at the difference
between my order of roast beef and
our friend's over there. I've got a big
cut out of the heart of the roast, and
he's got two or three little chunks of
'end.' Oh, yes; it pays to tip in these
places as well as it does anywhere!"
Philadelphia Record.
Forcing: a Pension.
When Thomas Snodgrass, ex-collect?
or of Ganjam, Madras, was expelled
from the service of the East India
company owing to his extravagance,
he applied for a pension, but the com?
pany turned a deaf ear to him. Ac?
cordingly he arrayed himself in tattered
clothes and, armed with a broom, set
to work sweeping a crossing in Lead?
enhall street in front of the East India
house. Immediately all London was
agog with the intelligence that an old
and distinguished officer of the East
India company who had ruled over
100,000 people and reveied in a palace
was now reduced in the evening of his
life to the necessity of earning his
bread by sweeping the streets. The
king was thunderstruck and implored
Mr. Snodgrass to take himself and his
broom away. This he did when the
company gave him his pension.
Thc Celts and Green.
The early Celts worshiped the dawn
and the sunrise. It is more than proba?
ble, therefore, that their liking for the
color green which we see in their flags,
sashes, etc., arose from a mistake
among those who had lost a thorough
knowledge of the Irish language. The
sun in Celtic is called by a word pro?
nounced exactly like our word "green,"
and it is likely that theJLrish fondness
for that color arose through the strik?
ing similarity of the two words. In
the same way, when we talk about a
greenhouse we think they are so called
because plants are kept green in them
during the winter; yet it is far more
probable that the word is derived from
the old Celtic word for sun, because
greenhouses are so built as to catch the
rays and heat of the sun and store
them for future use.
Eased Consciences.
A well known English dean recently
had the misfortune to lose his umbrel?
la, and he rather suspected that its ap?
propriation by another had not been
altogether accidental. He therefore
used the story to point a moral in a
sermon in the cathedral, adding that if
its present possessor would drop it
over the wall cf the deanery garden
during that night he would say no
more about it. Next morning he re?
paired to the spot and found his own
umbrella and forty-five others.
Sharks as Gan?C Fish.
As game fishes sharks do not, I
think, stand high- The most common
ofvthem, the dusky shark, when hook?
ed, circles round on the surface and
usually bites oil the lines and escapes.
If so hooked that the line cannot be
cut. the struggle* is furious but short,
the shark giving up in much less time
than a game fish of half his size, such
as the channel bass, salt water trout
or snapper would do.-Forest and
Stream.
Two Expressions of Pee!.
Was there ever-a more mordant and
sardonic stroke of description than
that .O'Connell gave of Peel's blood?
lessness? "His smile was like the sil?
ver plate on a coffin."
Less scathing, but less witty also,
was his description of a lady of a sim?
ilar repellant temperament. "She had
all the characteristics of a poker, ex?
cept its occasional warmth."
The Hardworking: Farmer.
"I used to think that all farmers
were overworked until I went to the
county fair."
"And what did you see there?"
"They had chairs covered with old
postage stamps and lace crosses cut
out of perforated cardboard, and one
woman had a quilt with 5,000 pieces in
it Needn't tell me people like that are
overworked unless IL is from choice!"
-Washington Times.

i The Success of De Blowitz.
The secret of the marvelous success
of M. de Blowitz as Paris correspond?
ent of the London Times is said to
I have been due to the absolute and com
; plete confidence with which he inspir?
ed the statesmen, thc politicians and
the diplomats with whom lie was
brought in contact and which he never
I betrayed. They all felt that they c >G10
depend absolutely,on his discretion, no
matter hew great the temptation from
a journalistic point of view to d > other?
wise.
When the Duke Decades while play?
ing billiards at the Qua; d'Crray afiei
dinner one evening suddenly received
the news of the purchase by the Brit?
ish government of the khedive's st ck
in the Suez Canal company and. wild
with rage, broke forth into frantic
threats against the English govern?
ment, charging M. de Blowitz to make
known ins indignation and the fact
that he was bent on retaliation, the
correspondent of The Times, who 1::::'.
been one of the party present, although
he saw the value cf the news, made
no use of it.
The pext day he met the duke, who
had recovered his senses and who.
grasping him by both hands, exclaim
ed: "I shall never forget what yon
have done for us. You have sacrificed
journalistic success to your sense cf
duty and to the cause of peace."
The Tall Grass of Yaentan.
The sisal grass of Yucatan is one of
the most remarkable vegetable prod?
ucts known. It grows in !o7?? blades,
sometimes to the length of t?fcr or ti ve
feet, and when dry the blade curls up
from side to side, making a cord which
is stronger than any cotton string of
equal size that has ever been manu?
factured. It is in m'eat dena:nd :!Juonj;
florists and among manufacturers cf
various kinds of grass gecds. hut as
soon as its valuable properties become
known it will have a thousand uses
which are nov.- undreamed of. Ropes,
cords. lines cf any description and any
size may be manufactured of it. and a
ship's cable cf sisal grass is ene of the
possibilities cf the future. It is almost
impervious to the action,of sa.lt water
and is not readily decayed or disinte?
grated by moisture and heat and will
in time prove 0:10 of the m st valuable
productions cf Central America.
The Antiquity of the Orsa."..
The sorgaa is the mest magnificent
and comprehensive of all musical in?
struments. While the pipes of Pan.
aside from that mythical personage,
indicate a very ancient use cf pipes as
a means of producing musical s :unds.
the "water organ o'f tia- aneients*\fur
nishos to the student of organ history
the first tangible clew regarding the re?
mote evolution of the instrument. In
the second century the magripha. an
organ of ten pipes with a crude key?
board, is said to have existed, but ac
c-junts cf this instrument are involved
in much obscurity. It is averred that
an crgan. the gift of Constantine, was
in the possession of King Pepin of
France in 757, but Aldhelm, a monk,
makes mention of an organ with "gilt
pipes" as far back as the year 700.
The Tnrqsoise.
The turquoise, although not credited
with either remedial or protective prop?
erties, so far as disease was concerned,
was nevertheless regarded as a kind
of sympathetic indicator, the intensity
of its color being supposed to fluctuate
with the health of the wearer.
The latte:-, however, by virtue of the
stone ho carried, could, it was said,
fall from any height with impunity.
The Marquis of Yileua's fool, however,
was somewhat nearer the truth when
he reversed the popular superstition in
his assertion that the wearer of a tur?
quoise might fa Ll from the top of a
high tower and be dashed to pieces
without breaking the stone.
Genesis of Hie Horseshoe.
It is known that the hoofs of horses
were protected by boots of leather at a
very early period in. the world's history
-at a time which at least antedates
Pliny and Aristotle, both of whom
make mention of the fact. These leath?
er boots were s ane?imes studded with
metal nails, but more usually worn
without extra trimming, the cheapness
of that commodity making it possible
for the owner of the steed to "reboot"
him at any time.
Curiosity.
"I wish 1 could hit on some scheme,"
said the merchant, "to make people
stop in front ot my store as they pass,
if only for a moment. I think it would
help business."
"I've got it." put in his friend. "Put
up a sign 'LcoU Out For Paint.' and
PH bet my salary against a penny
cruller ninety-nine men out of a hun?
dred will stop to see if it's dry."-Bal?
timore News.
His Latin.
"Why do you put so many Latin quo- j
tatious into your speeches?" asked the
friend. "Pm sure most of us don't un- j
derstand them."
"That's just the point. Miser; oves
company. I want to be sure .-ere is
some one besides myself vrhj doesn't
know precisely what I am talking
about."-Washington Star.
Robert Toonil)?' Advice.
A lawyer sent to Robert Toombs
once and asked what he should charge
a client in a case to which Mr. Toombs
had just listened in the courthouse.
"Well," said Toombs. "I should charge
$1.000, but you ought to have $3,000,
foe you did a groat many things that I
would not have done."
Hint Proof.
A woman visiting in town complains
that she has been moved from the
guestroom to a back bedroom and
from there to sleep three in a bed with
the children. She wouldn't see a hint
if it were tied OM her mirror with blue
ribbon.-Atehison (?lobe.
