MIXED RELATIONS. A Family Problem Lawyar Did Not Cara to Tackle. A lawyer received a cull from a new client, it man bent upon recovering a aum of money advanced utou a note aud not repaid. "Wtio la tbe debtor?" asked the law yer. "Oh, atie'B a relative of mine." "How nearly related" "Very nearly." "But, my dear sir," persisted the lawyer.-"you must be more explicit." "Well, she may be my mother-ln- i.y be? Then you are likely to m..iiy ner ouuguter. "I've already married the daughter." "Then, of course, the defendant la your motlier-ln-Inw." "Perhaps you'd better hear the. whole story," returned the client "You see. a year ago we lived togeth er, my son nnd 1. Across the way lived the Widow Foster and her daughter Mnry. I married Mary, and my son married the widow. Now perhaps you cnu tell me whether my son's wife Is my motbcr-ln-law or my daughter-ln-lnw." t , The lawyer did not answer. The problem was uufnmiliar. He was not roiidy., "I don't think I can take your case," he said. "It presents too many com plications." "Very well." returned the man, tak ing bis bat despondently. "Hut there's one thing 1 forgot. Since our double wedding a child has been born to each of us. What relation are those two children to each otuor?" Bagpipes. Rngplpes, mentioned In Jeremiah slvlli. 30. "Mine heart shall sound for Mon I) like pipes, like pipes for tbe meu of Klr-hercs." nnd elsewhere In Scrip ture were used also by the early Egyp tians. Roth Greeks and Itomans knew the Instrument, for a coin of Nero shows upon one side the tibia utricu Jaris, n bag vitu two reeds and nine pipes Procoplus also, who wrote Jllftmt fJ0 A. D., assorts that Itoman soldiers sometimes marched to - the tumml of the bagpipes, and It Is not lm j'osslhlo that they Introduced thetn Into the British Isl-.nds. The earliest, more modern reference, to them Is In an Irish MS. of 11.10, and an Irish lllural mil ed MS of 1300 depicts a pig play lug on the bagpipes The Scottish lilghlnnders were the first and only people to use the great war pipe, as the highland regiments still do. Supply on the Way. Itufus Grogan is one of the man agers of the biggest store In his town. The slogan of the store Is, "We Sell Everything." When ltufus la asked for anything the store doesn't happen to have on hand he always says. "We are out of that Just now. but we have a carload coming." And "ltufus' cnrload" is a local joke, '"ltufus," asked a customer one day, "do you know whore 1 cau get a hired girl?" "Well." said rtufus. "we hnven"t any now, but we have n carload coming." Saturday Kvening Post 1 Justly Impatient. In a Newark factory two workmen were shouting nt each other up and down nn elevator shaft. "Fland on." cried one..

The ex periment was a very dangerous one, and It was considered a triumph of precaution, no lives were sacrificed In making the test. The crater ot Kllauea, in Hawaii, was selected (or examination. The work progressed very slowly. For a long time It was impossible to obtain results, but ut ter several thermometers hod been destroyed a pyrometer was substi tuted to advantage. The temperature recorded was 1,010 degrees C, which Is the same as 1,850 degrees F. Iron is still unmelted at this heat, but gold, sliver and copper become a molten mass at a lower temperature.

Wright In his "Domestic Manner of the Middle Ages" aaja: "One of the great objects ot ostentation In a rich man'a bouse waa his plate, whlcb at dinner time be brought forth and spread on tbe table In sight of bis guests. Afterward to exhibit the plate to more advantage tbe table was made with shelves or steps, on whlcb the dif ferent articles could be arranged in rows, one above another. It waa called In French, or Anglo-Norman, a dres solr, because on it tbe different articles were dressed or arranged." It Is this to whlcb tbe modern poet refers: The pewter plates on the dresser Caught and reflected the flame as shields Of armies the auDshlne. . . PRESENCE OF WIND. The Way Two Englishmen Captured Four Hundred Prisoners. Toward the close ot tbe peninsular war 400 prisoners were captured by John Colborne, afterward Field Mar shal Lord Beaton. Colborne, who was wounded at Talavera, had been dis abled for some time, but in 1813 be was in active service again, and when Wellington's army crossed tbe frontier into France be performed what waa In deed tbe most amazing feat of bla ca reer. Wben riding, with no comrade but tbe famous Sir Henry Smith, separated from his column, be saw 400 French soldiers" passing along a ravine below blm. "The only way was to put a good face on the matter," he wrote. "So I went up to them, desiring them to sur render. Tbe officer, thinking, of course, tbe column was behind me, surrender ed his sword, saying theatrically, 'Jo vous rends cette epee, qui a blen fait son devoir.' (I surrender this sword, which has done its duty well.) The 400 followed bis example." Sir Henry Smith used to declare that he bad never seen sucb cool presence of mind as Colborne displayed on this occasion. London Spectator. 6angsra White Elephant. "I was exhibiting 'the only white elephant ever seen In the western world,' " relates Lord George Sanger in bis book, "Seventy Years a Showman," "when I was honored by a visit from King Edward, then Prince of Wales After the performance 1 conducted the prince through the stables and showed blm all there was to see. When we came to the 'white elephant' stall bis roynl bigbness suddenly turned to me and said, 'Sanger, is this really one of tbe an c red while elephants? "To thla I replied: 'Well, your royal highness, a showman is entitled to practice a little deception on tbe crowd, but 1 sbould nover tbink of deceiving my future king. It is certainly a white' elephant in fact, a very white elephant, but only because we give him a coat of special whitewash twice adnyl"' The Baokterlolegiit.

"Wot seems to be de matter?" ask ed tbe first negro. "Jim," said tbe other with a moan and a gesture ludlcatlng the portion of his anatomy that was giving blm so much trouble, "I s got socb awful pains In mab back beabl" Jim assumed an air of great solem nity and wisdom.
