She spoko English fluently, with a Boston accent: also she spoke Qermau. could make a fair stagger at Italian and knew a few words of Illndoostanee. but of French not a syllable. One morning she found herself in a wrestling match with a bottle of French shoo blacking. The pesky bottle. understanding that it had to deal with an alien, refused to give up its cork. She had no corkscrew of her own and did not know how to ask for one, even if she dared suspect that her next door neighbor might be possessed of the luxury. The tine of her pet fork she had bent on the obstinate nine tim point of her best penknife she bad broken off short, and nothing remained except to throw the bottle out of a window to get at its contents. She decided as a Inst resort to try breaking the neck off the bottle. With a "stove lid lifter" she administered several cautious taps in the region of the jugular of the obstinate neck. "Nothiu* doin\" Then she tapped harder still, and the blacking came. All over her fingers it cair.e, all over her light woolen skirt and over much of the floor and window sill. She decided to have the skirt cleaned and. packing it into a bundle, tripped off tc an establishment where she found embarrassment because she could not understand questions. Finally she got the drift of the conversation. The cleaners wanted to know what had cuused the spot. Fortunately, a bottle of shoe blacking was standing near by, and she pointed at this and "ould" and "ouid" until she left in heightened spirits, feeling that she was not helpless and that she hod made the cleaners understand. When the skirt was duly returned the following week, it was dj*ed black.?New York Tribune. , ANIMAL ODDITIES. Breton slicep nre not much larger than n fair sized hare.

If they begin with salt, they will escape the contagion of seventy diseases. If they finish with vinegar, their worldly prosperity will continue to Increase. Tlio host is in etiquette bound to be the first to start eating and the last to leave off. Tooth picking is considered an act of grace in the true Moslem, for the angel Gabriel is reported to have brought a toothpick from heaven for the prophet after every meal. The priests recite certain passages of the Koran before and after lunch and dinner, and also before drinking water at any hour of the day. A New Clerical Order. An Oxford correspondent writes: "A friend of mine, a rector in this neighborhood, told me the other day the following: He wns preparing some boys for confirmation and asked one of them what were the three orders in the Church of England, to which he received the reply, 'Bishops, priests and demons,' and on my friend making him I repeat Ills answer to see if he had mis- | taken him the same reply wns made." ?Westminster Ga7.ette. \ Then lie Gut Mad.

Visitors to t'.io national capital this wlntct; have missed William Henry Mliburn. the blind chaplain of the senate, who for half ft jjyutnry has been one of the Interesting personalities of the nation's legislative halls. The retirement of the blind chaplain Is due to advancing age. .Mr. Mliburn having passed his seventy-ninth birthday. Mr. Mliburn had the misfortune to lose his left eye when a lad of five. After years of partial blindness the ei^lit loft lils right eye, leaving lilui in total darkness, lie is a native of Philadelphia, but early In life went to Illinois, at that time n part of the western frontier. lie himself tolls how he became chaplain of congress the first time. On board an Ohio river steamer he chanced to meet some congressmen on llieir way to Washington. * . "As several of he says, "were known to fame I took-great Interest in observing them. I cannot' say how much I was shocked nor how indignant I became in discovering that some of them swore outrageously, played cards and drank whisky." When Sunday morning came. Mr. Mllburn was asked to preach to the rtmwiFWiijnf REV. WTLEIAM HENRY MILBURN. passengers. At the close of his regular discourse he pitched into the congressmen, reminding them of their evil ways in no uncertain way. As a result of tliis a committee of congressmen waited on Mr. Milburn and tendered him t lie chaplaincy of congress, which he accepted. Mr. Milburn was elected chaplain of congress first in 1S45, after which he spent six years in Alabama. In 1853 lie was ngain elected chaplain of congress and in 1S53 was made chaplain of the house of representatives, serving continuously until 1S93, when he be- ' came chaplain of the senate. SIR LIANG CHEN'S BRIDE. New Chinese MlniMcr'* Fiancee Iionntn Yankee Blood. The diplomatic circle at "Washington is deeply interested in the coming marriage of Sir Liang Chen, the new Chinese minister, to Miss Yu, daughter of the Chinese minister at Paris. Miss Yu is the second dnucrhter of Yu Tvenrr nmi is described ns a brilliant woman, not unlike her remote kinswoman, the empress dowager. The Yus are one of the powerful Mnntclioo families and are enormously MISS YU. rich, besides possessing great political prestige. Through her grandfather the prospective wlfe^tf Sir Liang has Puritan blood in her veins. The grandfather was named Pearson nnd came of n prominent Massachusetts family. More than sixty years ago lie went to Canton nnd engaged in commercial pursuits. He became rich nnd married a Chinese woman, the daughter of n wealthy Canton merchant. The oldest daughter of this union married Yu Keng. Those fnmillnr with the career of Yu Kong say that nryicb of his success Is attributable to bis daughter. Since lier twelfth year Rho has been her father's assistant. During the Chinese Boxer troubles In 1000 the French foreign office recognized the abllfty of Miss Yu. She wrote all the important communications which passed between M. Delensse and the Chinese legation, and she wrote many of the state papers now on file In Peking. Sir Liang Chen has been a widower for three yafrs. He has three daughters. one old enough to take part In social affairs. She will nteompany her father and his bride to Washington ucxt month. ?MWIMK'/. 1 '"ra .'iMMTMBaiM ^DR. I.

Liqaitl Oxygen. Liquid oxygen when first formed is milky in appearance owing to the presence cf some impurity which may bo removed by passing it through ordinary filter Dauer. When uure. it is of a pale blue color, which, however, is not due, as some have thought, to the presence of liquid ozoi^e, which is of a dark blue color. Liquid oxygen is a nonconductor of electricity, but is strongly magnetic. It may be lifted from a cup by presenting the poles of a strong electro magnet. It seems to have very slight chemical activity, since it will extinguish a lighted match and has no action on a piece of phosphorus dropped into it. It is well known that the A and 11 lines of the solar spectrum are due to oxygen, and from experiments on the top of Mont Blanc It is thought they are largely if not wholly due to the oxygen in the earth's atmosnhere. Professor I)ewar showed that those linos come out very strong when liquid oxygon is interposed Jn the path of the rays from an electric lamp. The Forge<mcnot. Everybody knows the pretty little forgetmenot and likes the tlowor more perhaps because of its name than its beautj'. "'How was it so called? The Germans account for it by quite a pathetic romance. It seems that once upon a time a knight and a lady were walking by the bank of the Danube when the latter asked her "gallant gay" to pluck for her a tiny blue flower which she saw growing in the stream. No sooner said than done, but the knight, overbalancing, fell into the riyer and, owing to the slippery nature of the bank nnd the weight of his own nrjnor, was carried away by tlie current. As he threw the flowers ashore ,o his jady ho cried out with his last breath, Vergiss raeln nfcht!" ("Forget me not.") And ever since the flower has been looked upon iir too emblem or uuenty. A Weak Stomach Indigestion is ofton caused by oyer* sating. An eminent authority says the harm done thus exceeds that from the excessive use of alcohol, bat all the good food you want but don'tovcrload the stomach. A weak stomach may refuse to digest what you cat. Then you need a good digestant like Kodol, which digests your food with- ' out the stomach's aid. This rest and 1 the wholesome tonics Rodol contains 1 oon restore health. Dietingunneccs- t sary. Kodol quickly relieves the feeling of fulness and bloating from which some people suffer after meals.
