SPLIT ON A TOOTHBRUSH.
Their Points of View Couldn't Agres;
Hence tbe Clssh.
When the tall girl found the mlstres
of the six room Hut WHshlng dishes sli
asked whst hud happened to Mary.
"Mary baa left." said the housekeep
er. "I insulted her yesterday morning
at 10 o'clock, and at 11 she packed her
trunk and skipped.
"We had a row over toothbrushes
Msry exhibited an unparalleled Interest
In toothbrushes. Every brusb she
came to was taken up and turned over
and over and commented on admiring
ly or the reverse.
"Finally she came to mine. 1 could
see at once that she liked It
Whose Is this?' she asked.
'Mine.' I said.
she poured out a glass of water and
dipped tbe brush tn.
" 'Oh. well.' sbe Mid. 'I won't be
a.'rtiiil to use It, then.'
"For a moment 1 stood there literally
stupefied, but soon I saw that prompt
action was necessary, and I caught
Mary's arm In a painful grasp.
"'Put It down thla Instant,' I com
manded. 'Put It down.'
"Mary drew back and withered me
out of tbe corner of her eye.
" 'Dear me.' sbe said, 'how touchy
some folks are! I never work for
touchy folks.'
"And so we parted. She seemed un
nMe to get my point of view on tooth
brush etiquette, and I seemed unable
to get hers, so we thought It best to
sever our relations." New York Times
Wren's Bomb For St. Paul'a.
8L Paul's old St. Paul's once knew
the effect of a bomb that actually ex
ploibsl. After the grent flro It was at
llrst thought that the ruins might be
repaired, but too much damage having
been done It was decided to pull tbe
fabric dovvn-n task In which many
lives were lost. To put an end to the
tedious work Wren hit upon the Idea
of IncloMlng eighteen pounds of gun
ponder in a wooden box ntnl explod
ing It under Hi ntral tower. The re
sult was to lift the arches some nine j
Inches, so that the ruins 'suddenly
lumping down made a great heap of

-Celestial" ss Applied to China.
Every one knows tbe epithet "Celes
tial" applied to China, but few know
Its origin. According to a very old
legend. Tibet Is a fragment of a
planet, once copled by a yellow race,
which lu some way became detached
and fell on the earth Tbs dased In
habitants of the fragment were unin
jured and. cold and hungry, they made
their way toward China, which they
peopled This origin of the Chlnass
ra.-e led to their calling themselves
"Celestials." and It la for this reason
that the emperor calls himself Son of
Heaven Such, nt least. Is the legend.
