If we ore going Into tbe simple life we should begin at the foundation." ' Mr. Bowsor opened bis mouth to suv something, and it would have been something rather startling, but be re membered just In time tho conversa tion of tbe morning. He had asked Mrs. Bowser to aid him, and she bad evidently done her best. Ho was look ing several shades paler, howevor. when" tEey' descended ftf'ffie basemen! for dinner. Tboso several shades In creased to seventeen as be saw th dinner prepared for blm. There were potatoes with tho Jackets on, mashed turnip, a sbortcako aud some very weak coffee. He hadn't time to say anything before she observed: "I think tills will remind you of othoi days. We have been entlug too much and too rich food. As you said, out way of living ban mude us all scoun drels and grafters." -Carrying It Too Fnr. Mr. Bowser bud said so, and that's why bo didu't tip the table over then and there. He flushed red and white and toyed with bis knife and after awbllo remarked: "I want a simple life, as I said, but I don't want It carried Into burlesque." "I hope I hnven't done so," she re plied. "I could have had roaBt beef and all Unit, but I know you would 'prefer something inoro simple. Help yourself to some more of tbe turnip. In tho old pioneer days turnips were o standby. If you'll get some pork this evening, we'll havo some warmed ovei turnip and fried pork for breakfast Is tbe coffee to your liking, dear?" "You cull It coffee, do you?" "Of course. Docb It taste like tea?" "It looks like Blops. I haven't tasted It yet." "You will And It better than It looks. I put In Just one.-tblrd of tbe usual al lowance, or the same quantity that oui grandmothers used. Is tbe Bbortcakc nice?" Mr. Bowser got red dear around his neck, but mndo no answer. . Sorry He Didn't Like It, "I'm sorry If you don't like It. 1 went to soven different groceries be fore I could find aalerntus. I wanted to make It tbe old fashioned way, you know. We shall save $4 n week by letting Mary go, and- It will be more In onsounuce with the-simple life for me to do the cooking and wnnhlug. Per Imps you can help me .about tbe latter! I'll do the washing, and you hang out the clothes to dry." "I'll be banged If I do!" exclaimed Mr. Bowsor as be tapped on bis plate with the bundle of bis knife. "Well, then, I'll have to manage by myself. I know that your grandfather and mine often did the whole washing and Ironing too. If we are going back to the primitive you bod better get you some woolen shirts. I can waBh and Iron them and save your laundry bill." Mr. Bowser looked around for an ax or crowbar. Neither was at hand, and he shoved back from tbo tablo and went upstitlrB. MrB. Bowser followed after a moment, to find blm closely scrutinizing a cigar' he had taken from a box on tbo mantel. Clsnrs Too Expensive. ' "What In thunder do you call this?" he nsked as ho held It out. s "Why, that's n five cent cigar. I put your others away. Our grandfathers didn't even smoke five cent cigars." "What's that old chair doing here in place of my Morris?" he nsked us be threw away tbe cigar. "Tho simple life," she simply answer ed. "You have been wearing a pair of alligator slippers thnt cost $3,150. I have put them away and bought you this pair for 25 cents. Our forefathers bad no slippers at all. I will bring your Inst year's overcoat and bat down to night, and you hod better wear them tomorrow. As you Bald this morning, wo aro dressing too well." If there had been worda in tho Eng lish lunguago to express his feelings Mr. Bowser would havo used thorn by tho hundred, but as ho felt that there was not be walked down the ball and put on his things nnd walked out. Ho was boiling. Ho was seeing red. Ho was filled with a deslro to Blny and Blnugbtcr, Ho had batted n trap and wiiiKCd Into It. Fnto saved him from an explosion that would have wrecked a happy home, He bad Just reached tho gate nnd kicked it open when a man enmo along nnd called out: "Hey, mister, havo you got n clock that wants mending?'" Attnoked Clock Mender. "Havo I got n clock?" fairly shrieked Mr. Bowser, "Havo 1 got a clock thaj wains' mending nt 8 o'clock ot night? Villain ! Incendiary! Murderer!" And then from tho front window Mrs. Bowser saw a snow flurry, like two mad bulls would kick up lu a pas ture as they canio together. An old clock flew through tho air. Two men fell down aud struggled nnd got up ngaiu, and then ouo of them darted awny and rau for his life. Tbo second was somewhat mussed up as be fol lowed after, but sbo recognized tho fig ure as Sir. Bowser's., r . Bho waited until 0, but ho did not return. At 10 there was still no clow. At 11 sho went to lied.

Odd Wedillns Gifts That Have Been Received by Celebrities Celebrities are often tho recipients of quaint presents, For Instance, on the marrlngo of Queen Victoria tho furm ers of Host and West Pennnrd, Somer setshire, wishing to show their loyalty, manufactured from tbe milk of 7S0 cows an Immense cheese nine feet In circumference. Tho gift was gracious ly accopted and was stored at Buck ingham palace, where It would un doubtedly have found Its wny to tbo royal tuble bad not Its donors wished to exhibit It us an . advertisement. Tbeir request was granted, but after It had been exhibited and tbo makers would havo returned it her majesty signified thut owing to tho altered con ditions she could not accept It as a gift. An equally homely gift was made to tho lato Kins Charles of Wurttemburg on tho morning of bis marriage to Princess 'Olgu ot Russia. A peasant woman sent blm n pair of trousers of her own design, with a noto expressing the hope thut they might bo found a better cut and fit than those which she bad last had tho bonor of seeing bis mujesty wear. Tho Italian singer, Slguor Murlo, in spired n hopeless passion in tbe hearts of so ninny women that nt the time of his wedding somo of this affection found expression in various strange gifts. One was In tbo shape of' a cushion stuffed with tresses from tbe heads of many of his hopeless admir ers. Another was from a lady In Mu nich who bud bud one of her teeth sot In a scarfpln surroundod with pourls and emcrnlds. In an accompanying noto Bho expressed tho hopo that by sometimes wearing the gift he might bo reminded of bis unknown worship er. Now York Herald. THE. FIRST SPECTACLES. Tbey Were Mnile In Italy In the Thirteenth Centnry. Spectacles were luvcntod late lu the thirteenth century. Tbo use of glnss to aid tho sight of defective eyes is, however, much older. Nero looked through a concave glass in watching tbo gladiatorial games, nnd ninny other historical men of bis dny were depend ent on similar devices for lengthening their sight. Till the hitter part of the thirteenth century only, the single glass was In use. In 1280 tbe double gloss was in vented, and In the fourteenth century spectacles. wore used quite frequently by tho very wealthy and high bom, al though they were still so scarce that they wero bequeathed in will with all tbo elaborate cure that marked tbo dis position of a feudal estate. The first spectacles 'wore made In Italy. Somewhat later tbe manufacture of cheaper glasses sprang up in Holland, and It spread late in tbe fourteenth century to (iermnny, Nuremberg and Rathcuow acquired fame for their glasses between 1-100 nnd 1500. For ihnny years glasses wero used only ns a menus of aiding bad eyes, un til tho fashion of wearing merely for tho suko of wearing them sprang up In Spain. It sprend rapidly to tbe rest of the continent nnd brought about, tbe transformation of the old thirteenth century spectacles into eyeglasses and eventually into the monocle. Quicksilver. Quicksilver Is found In veins ui rocks, like gold, silver nnd other met als. Sometimes tbo tiny globules ol the mercury appear In tbo interstices of tho rock, but usually It Is fouud In tho form of cinun'bar, a chemical com pound containing 13.8 per cent of sul phur and 80.2 per cent mercury. When pure nnd reduced to a powder it is n bright red color. Tho principal uses of quicksilver arc for removing free gold nnd silver In placer and qunrtz mining, for manu fucturiug vcrmilllon paints and dyes, for backing mirrors, for mnklng ther mometers and ninny other scientific In struments. What Water Did. A certain liquor dealer, a hard head ed old Scot, grew rich In the trade. After be bad grown rich tbe old muu built himself n lino house, a limestone mansion on tho bill, with a park around It, with conservatories, stables and outbuildings In a word, a palace, One day tho old Scot rode in the omni bus pnst bis flue house. A tcmpernnco man pointed up nt tbo grand edifice and said, wltb a sueer, "It was tho whisky built that, wasn't it?" "Na, no, maul tho wntor," tho Scot nnsworod. London Mall. Tho First Sapphire.

Is It Possible For the Hunins Re to Avert Extinction 1 I The only conceivable wuy )n which -the human Intelligence can ever suc ceed In averting tbe "procession of tbe groat year" Is not by postponing tbe issue, but by rovorslug, tho process. Tbe question Is this: While energy Is ' being dissipated In accordance wltb , the natural law, can we so manipulate things na to accumulate energy, mak ! Ing the uiiiivullablo available notwith standing tho fact that cosmic processes seem to be essentially Irreversible? Now there is assuredly no Inherent reason why wo should not accomplish this. It Is true that hitherto all the atomic evolution that has been ob served is atomic disintegration. We may speak how, Indeed, of the analysis of tbe elements.' But so It .was, we may remember, that tho older chem istry began, and yet analytic chemis try was tho precursor of synthetic bemiBtry. We began by breaking up compounds, but now we cun make them can, Indeed, make compounds hitherto unknown In nnrure. Similar ly, it Is more than probable that we Bhall ore long learn to achieve the synthesis of the clementB as well as their analysis. No energy is ever lost Even when the radium utom, itself tbo child of tbo uranium atom, breaks down and dissipates Its energy, ending, It is supposed, as tbe dull atom of lead, the original energies are not destroyed. Why should they not be gathered up again and thus again become avail able? Are matter and euergy to go on their wny, ultimately destroying the humun race? For myself, I lnclino to tho view that victory will rest at last with "man's unconqneruble mind." O. W. Snleeby, F, R. 8.; In Harpor's Magazine. LIZARDS OF BARBADOS. They Can Clianice Color nnd Drop Their TnllN at Will. ' The green lizards which swarm ou every tree certainly imve the hardest life of uny creatures in Barbados, since their flesh Is so delicate that every thing eats them which can catch them. Gats, fowls, birds, monkeys and snakes all devour the poor lizards, which have only two methods of defending them selves, both very inadequate for the purpose. One is their power of chang ing their color, whereby they can ap pear bright green at one moment on tho leaf of nu ;iloe and then durk choc olate brown on a piece of damp earth. If this docs not conceal them from their enemy tliey drop their tuils. The caudal appendage jumps from the ground and makes a frantic dance all by Itself, aud if the pursuer 1b delud ed into seizing It the lizard avails It self of the chance to escape and grow another tail. For tho rest the poor lizards are harmless things, with pathetic eyes, Id which lurks an expression of weari ness and disillusion, us though they were as old as the world itself and bad found it all vanity and vexation of spirit They are fond of plaintive mu sic and will enter at the open windows when a piano Is playing and sit listen ing and nodding their queer flat heads and looking out of those wistful eyes at the player till he or she, if of an im aginative temperament, might fancy she were pluying to an audience of transmigrated souls. Chambers' Jour nal. Clitar Smoke and Love, In Slam the lighting of a cigar indi cates a betrothul. In that country a person wishing to become betrothed to the girl of his choice offers her a flower or takes a light from a clgur or a ciga rette If she happens to havo one in her mouth, and thereupon, , provided there 1b no impediment In the birth mouths and years of the respective parties, steps are at once taken to arrange ,for the payment of tho dowry. The fami lies of the bride and bridegroom have each to provide at least $1,000. In Ca labria, as in certain parts of India, a lighted taper or a lighted pipe betokens the acceptance of tho suitor for the hand of a lady In marriage. In Siberia It Is the custom that when a suitor has been accepted by a girl she presents him with n box of cigars and a pair of slippers as a sign that he Is to be master In the house. , Alt Oddity In Toch. and Dlfflta. There Is ouc curious fact respecting the aulmnl creation with which you wll never become acquainted If you dep'eud on your text books for informa tion.
