The politeness of the Japanese has long Deen proverbial. Whoever comes in con tact with them anywhere speaks of their gentle manners, and in their own conn- ay this trait is much more marked than when one meets them as isolated individ uals away from home. An American traveler in Japan tells a story bearing apon this point. This American was from Ohio; he was captain of a gunboat, aud though a brave and efficient officer, he 'was somewhat toted for his sense of his own import ance. He had put in at a Japanese port, and with his officers had been most politely received by the Japanese authorities. As the Americans proceeded with their cort through the town the vonnu can. u i ,i i "" J mut" l"c"ocu " " 1 every one wuoiu uiey met ooweu pro- fonnaiv; hnt what wan ia arrft three, syllabled word that they uttered with I this graceful salute? The captain did not understand the Japanese language or Japanese urbanity. He did not know that it was the custom 01 the people whenever they passed a stranger to salute him with an inclina tion of the head. Nor did he know that the Japanese "How do you do?' or "How are you. is contained in one word. "Ohaye," the pronunciation being, as nearly as possible, O-y-yo. Presently one of these polite Japanese townspeople happened to speak louder than the others, and our captain re ceived, as he thought, a sudden illumi nation. With a flush of gratification he turned to one of his officers and whis pered "How in the world did they hap pen to know that I came from Ohio?' Youth s Companion. Antiquity of Shoemaklna;. The first sole protector or rudimentary shoe was the sandal, which consisted of sole of some kind of skin or of wood. held in place by straps and thongs. In all countries, ancient and modern, which have laid any claims to even the rudest kind of civilization, some kind of a cov ering or protector for the feet has been recognized as a part and parcel of the wearing apparel. The thong fastened sandals of the Greeks and Egyptians were the shoes of Holy Writ In Egypt the materials used by the shoemaker were strips of the papyrus, the paper reed of the rule. Woven strips of papy rus made a light and durable foot cover ing. As seen by paintings on the walls of Thebes, shoemaking formed a distinct branch of trade in the time of the reign of Thothmes HI, about 1,495 years before Christ, or about the time of the flight of the Israelites. Foot coverings of the Bo mans were both the highly ornamented sandal and the boot reaching to or above the knee. St. Lotus Republic. Servants' Wages In England.

During a thunder storm a large oak tree in the Masonic graveyard of Salem, Va., was struck by lightning and rent from top to bottom. While looking at the ruin the next morning Matthew Turner, who has charge of the cemetery, spied an object which had fallen from the cloven trunk. Picking it up and cut ting away the mass of moss, fungus and earth with which it was crusted over, he found that it was a large, old fashioned teapot of solid silver. Opening it, he dis covered that it contained the skull of an infant a few days old, and further in vestigation showed the teapot to bear an inscription: "From D. T. to K. L. 1828." Chicago Herald.

"Every one of us has had some experience life to prove to us that there are men of unimpeachable honor. 1 think the most honorable gentlemau whom I ever met was a man of absolutely infernal lack, I first saw him in a frontier town. He had been a cowboy, but he had got caught in terrible winter back on the plains, and at the time 1 first saw him he was only a wreck of a man, with legs misshapen and weak, and eyes that were nearly blind. He seemed to be just clinging to life in that little Colorado town, doing what little he could in bar rooms or going slow errands, until fate should be kind enough to take him away from his misery. "He stopped me in the street one night. "Will you lend me ten dollars? he aid roughly. 'I am in a bad way and need it.' "Now ten dollars was a good deal of money to me at that minute, for in my western experience 1 had my ops and downs, and at that time 1 was having my downs.' " 'Wouldn'tadollardoyou?Iasked,for the fellow looked so bad that 1 wanted to do something for him, but I knew that I should never see my money again, ' 'No, he said doggedly, 'it won t want to go to Denver. I am about crazy with pain and I want to get there and see if 1 can t find some relief. 1 haven 1 a cent in the world.' (There were a good many men in that little town who were in the same predicament.) ' 'But I can t spare ten dollars, I an swered. 'I need It.' ' 'You don't need it so much as I do,1 he said fiercely. 'Lend it to me. I'll pay it back to you. Give me yonr name and address. 1 11 find you if 1 live.' "Well, I gave him the ten dollars. 1 told him that he need not worry about paying it back. 1 expected to get out of my troubles some day and then I should not feel the need of it ' 'No,' he said. 'I won't touch it on ny other condition. 1 want to pay It back with interest 13 per cent. year. (Money was worth something out there.) So 1 wrote out my name for him giving him as my permanent address the home of my family in the east The next day he went to Denver. Shortly afterward 1 climbed into a saddle and rode away to 'punch cows.' I punched them with varying success all over the Colorado grazing fields for nine years. Having bad enough of cattle raising by that time and my ideas of great fortunes having been considerably modified. 1 sold out my cattle and came back. Of course, after the first few months following my loan of ten dollars to the cripple, he never came into my thoughts, though there were times when that ten dollars would have been a good friend, but 1 completely forgot about it. I had been east for three years, had married and was the proud father of the two handsomest children in New York, when a letter was forwarded to me from my father's home in Massachusetts. It was from the cripple. In it was a postoffice order for my ten dollars and interest on it for twel ve years, at 1 per cent, a month. There was no word in the letter except thanks for my kindness and the assur ance that he was now 'doing pretty well for him. "1 call that man a gentleman and 1 told him so when 1 wrote him, and 1 also told him something in the letter which I hoped would please him that on that day 1 had made the first bank deposit for my baby son, and that the amount was $24.40, his loan and the in terest, and that though the interest for the boy would not be anything like 13 per cent, the deposit ought to bring him good luck. That's all there is to this story." New York Tribune. A Strang Reunion. A strange reunion took place at the Dunning Insane asylum Thursday after noon, an error on the part of a criminal court bailiff leading to the meeting of husband and wife, who thought each other dead. George and Lena Hillman lived hap pily at Oak Park. One night, not so long ago, George did not come home at his usual hour, and his wife started to look for him. He returned home and then went out on a hunt for her. While she was wandering around the police picked her np, and after a short stay at the Detention hospital she was sent to Dunning, her identity being unrevealed. Almost the same performance was gone through with the husband. He was to be sent to the poorhouse, but an iutelli gent bailiff got him mixed with an in sane patient named Larson and he was sent to the asylum. . The chief physician, who knew Hill man, soon straightened the case out when "Larson" was placed on the books, He learned the unfortunate man s story, and Wednesday located the wife in one of the cottages occupied by women. The matter was reported by Superin tendent Sawyer to the county commis sioners, and Thursday, in the presence of Commissioners Spofford, Ballard and Stauber, the reunion took place. Hill man will stay at the poorhouse until his wife is well enough to leave the asylum. Chicago Tribune. An Editorial Episode. 'Here's a question," said the Informa tion editor, "that I can't answer.

Why One Man Prefers to Ha "Held C Rathr Than Go Armad, "I used to carry a revolver," said the man who gets home late at night "One evening a man tried to 'hold me up,' and when I drew my pistol and askou him what I could do 101 him and ho turned and ran like a deer I congratulated myself on bo lng so wise as to carry a weapon foi self defense. Out I found that my experionco with , the highwayman was the very worst thing which could have happened to me. When ever a man appeared suddenly in a dork street late at night I fancied hs was a footpad and could hardly re strain mysolf from reaching for my revolver. Then two things cams in to my life which made me determine that I would rather run the danger of being robbed than of killing a man. "1 was telling a mend one even ing how when I was startled in this way my impulse was to shoot lis had a story for me then. It was about a marshal out in Utah when United States officers were considered the mortal enemy of the Mormon church. This man had been forced to do a great deal of dangerous and disagreeable work, and he felt that ho carried his life in his hands. Ha was walking down an unfrequented street one night, as usual on his guard. He had just passed a tree when his quick ear caught a sound behind him. Wheeling like a flash, he saw a man stepping out from be hind a tree. Something was in the man's hand, the marshal could not see what With one movement of bis arm he drew his revolver and fired, killing the man in the shadows instantly. The man proved to be a harmless old cripple. Now tho possibility of my com- mitting a terrible mistake like this worried me into a condition of ex treme nervousness. And yet because I was so nervous I could not bring myself to give up my revolver. "One night when I was going horns I live in the outskirts of Brooklyn I had just reached the comer of my grounds when a man suddenly came bounding over the fence and landed directly in front of me. I drew my revolver and I am sure that I should have shot him if I had not heard my own brother's voice cry out anarpiy, 'For God s sake, Will, what are you doing?' "One of my babies was ill. and he had been running across our grounds for a doctor. I have never carried a pistol since that night, and I have never since been afraid of highway men."

The highest clouds, cirrus and cir- ro stratus, rise on an average to a height of nearly 30,000 feet The middle clouds keep at from about 10,000 to 23,000 feet above the sur face of the earth ; the lower clouds seldom lower than 3.000 or higher than 7,000 foot. The cumulus clouds float with their lower surface at a height of from 4,000 to 0,009 feet, while their summits frequently ex tend upward to a height of 10,000. The tops of the Alps are often com pletely hidden by clouds of the third class, while those of the other classes are frequently seen shooting up the ravmes UKe sheets or smoke.

Cardinal Manning's manners with women were always charming; and his bow, when he took off the hat of more than Quaker brim, was a horn age the most gracious ever made. It was not often that he permitted himself a mere compliment; when he did so it was only because a neat phrase carried him away, "You have given mo a book which has Kept me awake, ana 1 bring you a book to send you to sleep." The book which had kept him awake was a volume of poems of a tone he hardly caught The book to send the poet to sleep was a collection of his own sermons, Contemporary Review. Indians Buy Clocks. Awhile ago a Yankee peddler came on the Sioux reservation with a largo supply of brass clocks. They looked very gay and caught the eyes of the red brothers. When the Yan kee left the reservation every head of a family had a clock and he had a two horse load of silver dollars. The novelty of a striking clock soon wore off and the Indians wanted to see what was inside them. They discov ered a wealth of wheels and lost no time in taking them out. Many of them are now richly prized orna ments, doing duty as earrings, hang ing from the ears of brave bucks and dashing squaws. Cor. Indianapolis Journal. Fresh Eggs Not Possible In New Torn.
