Willing to Entortain Hop.
My entrance upon my career as a
charity visitor was as a volunteer. 1
arrayed myself for tuy first attempt
with misgiving In my heart 1 was
so afraid of my reception. I found my
drat address on the third tloor of a
rear teuemeut, stumbled up the dark
stairs nud timidly knocked at the door.
It was opeued Instantly by a small boy
who peered at me curiously.
"Is? Is your mother In?" I Inquired.
"No'm," was the prompt reply.
"She's gone to see the doctor. But
you can come In."
He held the door hospitably open, and
I stepped across the threshold and en
tered. I selected a chair and sat down.
The small boy wriggled Into a chair
opposite.
"1 have fits," he announced, with
importance.
"Wlm-nt?" 1 stammered.
"1 have 'em often," he went on eager
ly, "fits? real (Its. 1 may have one any
time. I ml?ht have one right now."
But I was already In the hall.
"You won't stay?" he shouted after
me aggrieved ly. "She'll bo right
back."
But a very much upset volunteer vis
itor was already out of hearing.? New
' York llerald.
A Long Dive.
"A circus came to a little town in
Tennessee," said Colonel Uobert M.
Gates In the Saturday "Evening Post,
"and one of the attractions wns a high
diver, a chap who dove from the top
of the tent Into a shallow tank, which
Is a feat common enough, but which
created a deal of talk In that locality.
"The wiseacres were talking ubout
it at the store. Mauy of them thought
It could not be done without killing
the diver, but one old man insisted
that It was perfectly feasible.
"'What do you know about diving?'
he was asked.
"?Waal," he replied, 'nothln' in per
ticklcr about that kind of dlviu', but
I used to have a cousin who was the
longest diver ye ever see."
"?Longest diver?' scoffed the other
sitters. 'VYhere'd he dive?'
"'Onct,' replied the old man, 'he bet
a thousand dollars he could dlvo from
Liverpool to New York.'
'"Did he do It?*
" 'Nop, not that time. Ye see, he
kinder miscalculated an' cotno up In
Denver.' "
The Captain's Regret
"Some years ago." said a military
man. "there was a certain German
private soldier named Audree. This
was a short time after Aeronaut Au
dree's sensational departure for the
uorth pole In his airship. Well, the
kaiser, reviewing some troops one day,
asked a number of men their names,
and Andrce was among this number.
The kaiser smiled at him good humor
edly.
" 'So your name Is Andre*,- eh?' the
kaiser said. "Do you know you've got
a very famous oamesake?'
" 'Yes, your majesty/ the soldier an
swered.
" 'And who told you that? said the
kaiser.
" 'My captain, your majesty,' said
the soldier.
'"Aha, your captain, eh? And what
did your captain tell you about An
dree?
'"lie said, your majesty, that he
only wished Andree had taken me
with him!" "
The Broom at the Masthead.
There still exists a very old custom
among seamen of displaying a broom
at the masthead of ships Intended to
be sold to indicate that they are to be
"swept away." The custom originat
ed with the famous Dutch admiral
Tromp, who when he appeared off the
English coast hoisted a broom to show
his Intention of sweeping the Eng
lish fleet from the sen. The Eng
lish admiral, replying to .this Imper
tinent signal. Immediately hoisted a
horsewhip to tho masthead of his
ship to show the arrogant Dutchman
that he meant to give him a drubbing.
For this reason a pennant is oftentimes
dubbed "the horsewhip" by seafaring
men. Sea lore, of course, Is full of
symbolism, and the broom Is only one
of many signs used that havo a meta
phorical meaning. -London Globe.
Perversity.
"One peculiarity of melancholia,"
said a specialist, "Is that the victim of
It actually enjoys the despondency and
often doesn't want to be cured. I once
told a young woman who had this dis
ease that she must be careful of her
digestion and eat nothing fried. After
that she tried to eat only fried food.
Not only did she Insist on having her
potatoes and meat fried, but didn't
want to eat bread unless It had been
fried In a lot of grease."? New York
Tribune.
The Faust Legend.
For 1.400 years the Faust legend?
the sale of u human soul to a devil
-has c\isted. The first recorded hint
of Us vitality Is given in the sixth cen
tury story of "Theophllus," That
story suited the early Christians In
their efforts to stamp out the necro
maucing devices of evilly disposed per
sons proue to seek power by unholy
means. The association of the name
of Faust, however, with tho legend la
not more than 400 yards old. The
likeliest prototype of the modern
Fanst Is the man of the same name
who In Cracow boldly proclaimed him
self a professor of magic. In tho six
teenth century stories ITelen of Troy
was bestowed by Mephlstopheles upon
Faust, and not until the mtddie of the
fflghteenth century does there appear
a shadowy Margaret, In the fortfl* of a
"beautiful but poor girl," who after
ward develops Iuto the Margaret of
Goethe.
Birds on ths Wing.
Twice every year a wave of living
birds, almost Inconceivably grand
tho number of birds Involved, surges
over North America. Tbe auturna
wave rolls from the arctic randrop
of Canada and Alaska to tho torrll
valley of the Amazon and the great
pampas of the La Plata, only to roll
back again to tbe lcobound northern
ocean with the uprthward progression
of tbo suu. And almost as ceaseless
as tbe ever rising, ever falling swell
of the occau tides Is this miraculous
tide of beating wings and pulsating
little hearts. The last stragglers of
tho northward migration do not reach
their northern homo before tbo early
part of June, but In July the south
ward sotting tide has begun again.
Tho number of birds that make up
this mighty wave almost passes com
prehension. Probably more than 95
per cent of all birds making their
summer homo between tho north#*?
boundary of Mexico and the Arctic
ocean? that la, In tbe United States
and Canada? help to swell tbe great
bird tide that moves southward lb
autumn and northward In tbe spring
with tho regularity of a pendulum.
Allowing a little less than one migra
tory bird to an acre, we get tbo enor
mous number of 4.320.000,000 birds
whose wing beats follow with .ihjctlt
mlc precision tbe southward and north
ward movemont of tho sun. This
number Is too vast to bo easily com
prehended.? D. Lange in Atlantic.
Spencsr's "First Principles."
In Spencer's "First Principle#" be
endeavors to deflno the fields of the
unknowable and (be knowatyo and
tbo postulates with which the studies
of tho knowabio must be pursued
When Spencer writes that "the man
of science truly knows that (n Its ulti
mate essence nothing can bo . .known;"
he is not referrtng to man's brain yes
terday or today. He means that the
fundamental principles of the universe,
like space, time, matter* force aqd mo
tion, are by their very natpre un
knowable. Since all man's knowledge
of the coemos can be traced back ulti
mately to sense experience, and since
sense experience is not alwaya relia
ble and much of what be calls tho
ultimate essence Is entirely Inaccessi
ble to sense experience, It may be phil
osophically said that man cannot bo
sure be really knows anything. Both
tho strength and the weakness of hla
theory are due to tho equivocal. import
of the term "knowledge."? New York
American.
The Way of the World.
"When we were poor," remarked tho
prosperous muu reflectively, "wo look
ed forward to the time when we could
have a summer home."
"Well?"
"Well, when we got rich enough to
have ono wo didn't like going to the
same place every summer because It
was monotonous, and we looked for
ward to tho tlmo when we could have
another for variety."
"Well ?"
"WelS, we got anothor, and then we
began to long for a winter place, so
that we wouldn't have to bo so much
In tho big house In tho city."
"Well?" "
"Well, we've got them all now."
"And are you happy?"
"I suppose so? at least, I suppose
my wife Is. She keeps them all shut
up and spends most of her tlmo In Eu
rope, but sho knows sho has them."?

Wrongly Placed.
It la astonishing sometimes how un
consciously careless we are of the feel
ings of the person to whom we are
talking. A young guardsman told me
the other day that a friend of his went
with him to consult his lawyer. The
solicitor, a shrewd looking and kindly
old gentleman, was listening to an
Irate explanation of how his clerk bad
failed -to do something that had been
expected of him. "Yes, you aro qulto
right. It was bis fault" said the so
licitor.
"But why aro these confounded law
yers' clerks so stupid?" asked the
angry soldier.
"I do not know, my dear sir," re
plied the solicitor kindly, "but would
you mind alluding to them as 'lawyers'
confounded clerks?* "?London M. A. P.

"Why!" gasped tho astonished young
man, "t-thls Is a b-buslness Bult!"
"Well," rejoined tho d. g. calmly.
