Operator Regular rates 25 cents for ten words. Toung lady, twenty minutes later, after many erasures and deep study, hands over message. Operator (reading same) Too many words. You'll have to cut out that "My dear Herbert," or pay extra. Young Lady (with visible excite ment) Leave it out! Well, indeed. I shall do nothing of the kind. I guess I cnu call my own husband "My dear Herbert" if I sou (It. 0?rator Privilege with you. ma'am. Will cost you 0 cents extra, though. Young Lady (angrily) Six cents!

Operator Sorry, ma'am; rules are rules. If you will have it addressed that way, drop out three words of the message; that will bring it within the limit. Young Lady picks up telegram and studies It intently, with her pretty eyebrows drawn tightly together. Shakes her head despairingly and lays down paper. "I Just can't leave out any of them; he wouldn't understand If I did. And," with a break In her voice, "to Just say 'Herbert D. Felton' would seem so cold and distant to him, I know." Operator (shifting uncomfortably) Six cents extra will fix It right, ma'am. Now, which shall It be? Young Lady (tearfully) I can't cut down the message nnd I won't leave out the other. (With sudden deter mination) Give me another blank. I will not be coerced and bullyragged by your old rules. Rapidly writes the following: "Oper ator refuses to let me address you suitably.

Prnyer, In a prayer book of the time of King Edward VI. of Knghiml appears the following prayer for landlords: "The earth Is thine, Lord, and all that is contained therein, notwithstanding thou hast s'vvn possession of it to the oh: I; Von of men to pass over the time of their short pilgrimage In this vale of misery. We heartily pray thee to send thy holy spirit Into the hearts of those that possess the grounds, pastures and dwelling places of the earth, that they, remembering themselves to be thy ten ants, may not rack nor stretch out the rents of their bouses and lands nor yet take unreasonable fines and Incomes after the manner of covetous world lings, but so let them out to others that the inhabitants thereof may both be able tp pay the rents and also hon estly to live and nourish their families and relieve the poor.

Louis XIV. was a sandy haired man, with many of the characteristic peculiarities of the type. Cleopatra is called 'the red haired Greek.'

Crenturcft That Suem Xever to Die Frm Old Aire Wandering unconcernedly In the field of view of nuy high power microscope there may be seen an nnimal which h:is probably been living continuously ever since life first appeared ou the earth ami which has certainly never Inst tin ancestor by death. The creature Is transparent and resembles a drop of slightly more viscid liuid In the Uilu llhn of water in which It Is confined. Amoeba is the name by which It Is known to science. Splash a drop of Ink on paper, and you will have an idea of its form at tiny one moment, but It's form Is never the same. Even ns you watch it its shape, which had a resemblance to Ireland as it nppenrs on the map, changes. The headtunds nt the southwest corner are bocomfng more and more prominent till now they are like the fingers of on outstretched band of which the palm Is rapidly shrinking. The whole creature Is flow ing rather thnn creeping toward n small chain of bacteria, which present ly It devours. There Is no mouth through which they pass. They are simply engulfed as small drops of wa ter mny bo merged into a larger. In an hour or two they will have been digested burned off as fuel to supply the activities of their destroyer. Occasionally amid Its ceaseless changes of form amoeba may be sen to be developing a "waist," which grows smaller and narrower until It snaps, and Instead of one large animal we have two small ones, which, with out even a momentary pause, continue the search for food till, In a few hours, each Is full sized and ready to divide again. But what has become of the original amoeba? In the absence of anything which could be called his corpse we cannot declare htm dead. It must be said that he Is still living as the two new amoebae. Now, this splitting Into two being the only mode of reproduc tion of the race, It follows that all the previous parent amoebae from which our present two are descended nre BtJt) living. Of course thousands of the anlmalculae are destroyed every day by natural foes, but It must be re membered that these unfortunates cannot by the nature of things leave any children and so will never be an cestors, and that so long an any one amoeba Is living none of his direct an cestry 1b dead. The conclusion has forced Itself up on biologists that death Is no part of the life scheme of these humble crea tures. They are not like us machines, preordained to run down In a more or less certain period of years but they live on Indefinitely till some chunce ac cident cuts short their career.

The dove has been pictured as the bird of ponce by writers and artists Iu all tho ages since the time of the flood, for the dove linn figured In tho sym bollHin of many races and of count Joss generations. Areordlng to tin: Century IiMionary. the dove Is t):: bird of peace hccnunc of the Ineide it recorded In the eighth chapter of Ur esis: "Ana it came to puss at the em' of forty days that Noah opened tin window of tho ark which he had made, and ho sent forth a raven which went to and fro until tho waters wero dried up from off tho earth. And he sent j forth a dove from him to see If the waters wero abutod from off tho face j of the grouud, but the dove found no 1 rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned uuto him In tho ark. And be stayed yet another seven duys, aud again he Bent forth the dove out of the ark, and the dove came to him In the evening, and, lo, In her mouth was an olive leaf plucked off; so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth." Proper names derived from the dove have always been used In the orient as descriptive of loveliness and were especially applied to beuutiful wo men. The dove was woveu into the pagan worship of ancient northern Europe, aud ft has a great place in early ChrlBtiau life aud symbolism, From immemorial time tho dove has always beeu a type of innocence to the Jews. Elsewhere it has been as sociated since tho Olympian age with tho higher idea of Venus ns the sym bol of natural human affection Un love that goes with purity nnd sim plicity of heart, It had a part In mar riage scenes aud was naturally intro duced by early Christian painters into pictures of the Madonna and child and of female saints. These qualities of gentleness and affection combined with their mournful notes made doves equally appropriate to moods of sor row, and they were n part of the furni ture of most pagan funerals. This passed on into Christian usage and their likenesses, generally combined with the olive branch, wero carved on the tombs in the catacombs be neath Itome and elsewhere, emblematic of eternal peace. In the Sporting Mngaziue for H2S this appeared: "Pigeons are rarely seen at the table of the Russians, who entertain n superstitious veneration for these birds because tho Holy Ghost as sumed the form of a dove." Comment ing on this, a writer "ays, "This cus tom of the abstinence from tltc llesh of the dove Is far older thnu Christian ity, being Indeed In all probability con nected with the same class of feelings as those which marked it out as the Aryan deoth bird." Sir Klehard F. Burton remarks: "Ev er since Noah's dove every religion seems to consider the pigeon as the sacred bird. For example, every mosque swarms with pigeons, nnd the same exist In most Italian market places. The Hindoo pundits and the old Assyrian empire also havo them." Otic Mystery Solved.

Salmon fishing differs so much from trout fishing that it has been said an absolute beginner at fly fishing will learn to take sahno salar more readily than wilt a trout fisherman who tries the nobler fish after years of practice with the smaller one. This I doubt, hut I know that a very different slyle of fishing is needed. There is really no such thing as "striking" in salmon flsTilfiff. and If you keep a tight Hue and ratse your rod ns sdori ns you feel the "pluck" of tho fish you will be do ing your whole duty, and It will bfi up to the fish to do tho rest. There Is no occasion for the swift strike by which one hooks a shy trout Inclined to rise a trifle short. The salmon Is such a weighty fellow that when he turns to go down after taking tho fly his mo mentum drives the hook above the barb with very little assistance on the part of the angler, provided the line be fairly taut.
