An oC friend, returning from a Journey, en terod tbe lobby and, Beelng him lean lug against the desk, slipped up be hind and hit him a terrltlc whack on the shoulder, saying cheerily and si multaneously: "Hello, old man!

Mobt people have read Jules Verne's "ArjiiiKl the World In tighty Days" will rem'.ulN.T how narrowly the traveler missed his bet, having fu gotten Uwit lu follov. Ing the tvjn from east to wettt he hud gaiued one day. When one croests tle Atlantic from London to New Turk be gulus ratUui more than half an hour each day. From New York to Chicago another hour la gained, auothor to Imnrer, an other to Sao Frs'-wlsco, which ts reck oning time Hght hours later than Lon don and.tif c-oure tho best jmrt of a day later than K ha u glial and Yokoha ma. In erowdng tbe Pacific there comes a time when tho day begins, where yetKerday and tomorrow shake bands and where tbe traveler Is cheat ed out of a day In his life. In mld-Pncltlc, going west, one skip from Sunday to TmrUuy. Going east htf has one duy of the week repeated two Sundays of Tuesdays, as tho case may be. Tbe Hoe of the changing day Is not a straight one. The Islands In tbe Pa cific take their time from tbe continent with whtt-ij they trade ami from which they were uiiH-overed. Thus tho line of tho change zigzags down tbe Ta ctile from south to north, dodging be tween tho tste!n!s. Hence It might easily happen that a ship which has ulre.idy sklpittd a day would rfich nn iFlniid which clings to Ban Francisco time, in such a case it would 1k Mnn'.lay on shore and Tues day on tho ship. If the ship's Jolly bout were lying at a whnrf. It would le Monday On the wharf and TiTerday on tbe boat. And If a rrm. lives somewhere near the lino he can get a sailboat and visit yestrrTay and tomorrow In the uKkst delightful fashion. AdvanM Thanks.

Inscriptions That Won a Joy to th Cynics and Critics. A collection of cutu mottoes gathered by an Italian tstuuent, Amerigo Scar latti, was published lu Minerva, an Italian periodical. Scarlatti Is of the opinion that such Inscriptions, though not Intended to be cyuicul, too often admit of such an Interpretation through tbe Imtjlstlbie habit of the public of Ignoring tbe Intention of the designer and applying the motto to the coin it self. Thua when Charles II., king of the two Sicilies, had engraved on his sil ver ducut the I "tin words "Unus non Sufflclt," ineuLieeg "One Is not enough," all tbe world insisted on forgetting that tbe king roforred to a single scep ter and enthusiastically agreed with him that one ducat wasn't enough for any one. On the contrary, a storm of Ironical opposition was aroused when Louis de Bourbon, king of Btruria. In tbe early part of tbe last century Inscribed "VI deant Pauperas et Lactentur" on his coins. The words mean "Let the poor see and reiojee." and of course every one wanted to know wby a poor man should rejoice nt merely seeing a piece of money. On the pupal coinage of 1573 bearing the arms of Gregory XIII. are the words "Et duper Hone Petrnm" (And upon this rock). Of course tbe pope and tbe artist who designed the coin meant the words to refer to the pu-a-cy, but the evfl minded applied them so malielonsly to tbe coin Itself that tbe Issue was ppeeiltly stopped. A sim ilar opportunity for evil tongues was afforded when the Knight- of Malta coined an Issue of do!lam with the Bigu of their order, the Maltese cross, and their motto. Mln Hoc HWmo MUlrnrous" (In this sign we combat). Tbe ribald affocted to take It as a confession tbat with them money was truly tbe sinew of tffcr. A Veuetiau lira dated 1474 has the somewhat ambiguous motto "In Tthl Solo Gloria" (To thee alone the glo ry). A sequin coined by Cardinal Ilei gonlco In 1744 bears the words "Venl Lumen Cordlum," or "Come, thou light of henrtii." Clement XI. issued a coin with au 1 ma fee of the Madonna, with the legend "Causa Nostrne Laetltlae" (Cause of our Joy), and a Venetian piece wit'i an allegnrical fUure of Jus- 4 ice. with the words "Nobtra In bac ellcltns" (Our happiness In this). All of these Inscriptions were In-even Uy diverted by contemporaries from their troe object to the money Itself. Where It Doesn't Apply.

And, noting these things, the people nodded oaiinowly to one another. "Up and up went the baHnon, and now a murmur of horror arose among the niuttatude. The aeronaut and the landlord wvse eoarrellng; they were fighting. High ap there In the elooda, perched on the swaying trapes, they struggled, thumped, kicked. "Suddenly th aeronaut,- In a mad burst of rage, seised th landlord by tbe throat, thrust him backward and (lung him Into space. Down the poor fellow dropped like a stone, turning over and over. He alighted on bis bead. "The peop'a. mad with horror and rage, rushed the spot. And there, to their amazement, stood tbe landlord, laughing heartily.

An Incident ef the First Meeting ef the Two Soldiers. The first meeting between General George B. ilcClellan and General Rob ert E. Lee hupiieucd In Mexico during the war with tbut country. McClellan waa a lieutenant of engineers, and Lc was a major on the staff of General Winfield Scott. One day McClellan was walking across a field when he saw Oenerul Scott and hie staff approaching on horseback. As they drew near Ma jor Lee reined up his horse and asked the lieutenant If be did not know that he wss disobeying orders. HI tone was sharp and angry. McOellan answered that be was not aware of any disobedience and asked for an ex planntloo. Lee replied that all officers had been told to remain In their quar ters, awaiting orders,. and asked, for the lieutenant's name. McClellan gave hki name and said that no order of that kind had reached htm. But Lee In a peremptory tone ordered him to go to bis quarters and remain there. Then he rode off and rejoined Geueral Pcott and the staff, who had not stopped. McClellan went to his quarters, as he had been directed to do, but was quite Indignant at th way In which Lee bad treated htm. for he had not knowingly committed a breach of discipline. He hod Just nnisued telling his broth er officer the Incident when he was Informed that an officer was outside the tent askiug for blin. On going out he was much surprised to sec Major Lee, who saluted him with restwet. "Lieutenant McClellan." the major said. "I am sfinid that I was not cour teous In my manner to you a little while ago, and 1 have called to apol ogise." "I assured him that It wss all right, said General McClellan In telling tbe story, "and be rode off after making a low bow, leaving me in admiration of a superior officer who so promptly and generously repaired an error."
