THE GRACEFUL ANTELOPE. Ho Seems Born of Light and Nuned In the Lap of the Wind. For mo there linvo been no fnlrc days tlinn when the antelope skimmed tho plain with lees ncbuluiiM with speed on thnt low, Kcntlc ciinter whose deceptive motion left the best nlmed bullet far behind. For the nntelope Is the only large nnlmnl thnt Is wholly Bplrltuello. Ornccful ns he limy nccin when spurnliiK the Kround mid swIiik Ing high over rocks and brush, to re bound like n ball nt the nest touch o enrth. there Is still soinethliiK earthly about the deer. Hut the nntelope seems born of light mid nursed In the lap of tho wind. All his movements show that he was meant for the air rothcr than the earth. TIioiikIi Nature liiiide it slight change In giving him legs Instead of wings, she made nn mistake, and her work has always been thu wonder and lovo of the hunt or. When troubles urlse the dee takes to the harbor of the hills, but the nntelope steers for the open sea The farther the plain sweeps wldeimd free the more this gay rover loves Its safety, and n run that to the deer would mean death Is to him only n "breather" that warms him up to the race. Whether Illumining thu horizon lllte n shooting star In the clear morn lug nlr of thu great plain or looming high, lllto a stilted ghost In the tnlragi; of glowing midday, he Is the most charming of ill things thnt run, nnd his passing has left it great void that nothing cmi llll. The few that are left protected ns they are, glvo no Idea of the effect produced on a lover of the open by one of the grent bands of the days that wore, strung out in n mm almost like vapor with distance nnd speed, and vanishing as If In nlr over the land's outlying verge.

Webster's calls It "one mora than six or one less than-eight." Tho abridged Webster snys It Is "llvo nml two," ami tho Century's dellultloii runs "one more tlinn six; the sum of three and four," In metrology Hint Is, the science of weights and measures-seven Is com parutlvely rare. The seven days of the week form a striking example of Its use, however. Kcholnrs have found, too, that the I'uyptluu cubit coutnlucd seven bund breadths. "Cubit" Is from the l.alln "cubltuui," tho oIImiw, or Hie distance from the elbow to the end of the mid dlo linger. The Itoiiinu cubit was one and a half Human feet or IT. I English Inches, but the royal Kgypllnu cubit, used In the building of the pyramids of Cllr.eh, perhaps it.VM) II. I'., lias been learned from measuring sticks found In the tombs to have been iKMU Kng llsh Inches. The ordinary cubit was divided Into six palms or hnndbreaths, nnd tho use of seven In the Kgyptlnu cubit Is ascribed by some Investigators to a probable custom of placing the hand behind the elbow when uieasur lug along walls with the forearm ami leaving It on the wall until the arm was laid down again, It should be lidded that there are many other cubits of widely different values, both ancient ami modern. Ilochester Democrat nnd Chronicle. Rough on the Architect. "When I got thu order to deslpi a bk wholesale house for a llrm that has stores In llvo cities besides Now York naturally I was elated," said an architect. "'I'll plan it building that Is bound to be satisfactory,' I said to myself, 'and then they will give me the commission for tlioso new stores they oxjicct to put up In those other llvo titles.' "Well, 1 did turn out u splendid store n store that was admired by every. body In the wholesale trade. My pu irons were pleased, too, but Instead of (living me mi order for those other buildings they simply lined the same plans over mid over again and built nil their houses alike. That's what I call playing a low down trick on a fel low." New York Ulobo. Perfectly lltcklett.

The difference between poor stock and first class stock on n job is n small item when yon consider the vnlne of the job. It is the price of a satisfied customer. It is better to make 50 cents less on a job and have a customer who will come back, than to use the flimsy stock, make the extra 50 cents and lose your customer, That is the way we figure it. LINCOlSHOUSE. An Occasion When He Old Not Recog nize It at First Sight. "Mrs. Lincoln plnyed n good Joke on her husband when he was practicing law nnd Journeyed about from court to court on horseback," snys Mnjor lUttlngcr. "Those trips often took ccveral weeks nt n time. "On one of these trips Lincoln was gone for nbout four weeks, lie re turned late one night. Stopping tils horse, he dismounted nt the usual place. He turned to go Into the house nnd then stopped. Although he wns n mnn of temperance, he thought he must bare been Imbibing on the sly some time that day, for before him stood n building ho hnd never seen before. He thought It over for n min ute nml then went across the street and knocked nt n friend's door. They were In bed, nnd some ono snng out! "'Who Is itr " 'Abo Lincoln,' wns the reply. 'I've been looking for my house. Can you tell me where It Is? flucss I must hnvc I ecu lost. I thought It was Just ncross Hie wny. When I went nwny the building jvns ono story high, nnd now It Is two.'t "It wns explained ;o htm thnt dur ing his absence Mrs. Lincoln hnd mill ed nnother story. He laughed nml went bnck to the strange house." He used to tell the Joke, on himself many times, according to the major.-' Nntlonnl Mngnzlno. CONTINUOUS SHOWS. They Wero Started by D. F. Keith In a Doston Store. It wns In the mouth of Jnnunry, 1883, that .Mr. It, V. Keith, who hnd been studying the show business with far seeing eyes for ninny yenrs, presented, In 11 storo Hint ho hnd leased In Bos ton, tho first continuous show ever seen on nny singe. He pnld his per formers $20 n week for n single turn nnd $10 for double nnd required them to give eight or nine turns 11 day. His "top llnrr" or chief nttrncllon wns a pound nnd n half bnby. The doors of his playhouse wero thrown open nt noon, and from Hint Hum until half pnst 10 nt night thu jorformuiice went on without Interruption. Patrons were allowed to spend the entire day In the theater, nnd nt first o iiiniiy availed themselves, of this op portunity to get n substantial tilling of nmuscmcnt nt n small cost Hint Mr. Keith rcnllxcd Hint lie must either abandon tho Idea of n continuous cu tcrtnlniuiMit or else Invent sumo meth od by which the audience could be driven out of the building nnd plnco mndu for those outside who wero wait lug for ndmlttnnee. Necessity Is the mother of Invention, especially when It Is mated with sharp Yankee wit, nnd It was thus (tint what Is known ns "the cbnser" enme Into the world. James U Ford In McCluro's Mugnxlne, A Qhost In a Clock. Itnslugstoke provides 11 rcmarknblv story of 11 ghost In the form of 11 clock.

"Do the peoplo In your community own homes?" cnnia the query from Mr. Hooker Washington. "I thlnk's they's fixing to own 'cm snh." "Hut do they own them?" "A henp of times you can't Jest tell sab. Hut they's holding 'cm down." "Do you own your home?" "Yes, sah, I do." proudly. "And I can tell you Jest how I got It. I swapped n puppy dog for It" "Tell us nbout It." "Well, It wns this wny.

It Illustrates the Wonderful Ability of the Ancient Egyptians. Tho cost of tho labor and material necessary to dupllcnto tho great pyrn mid of C-lzch nt the present time would n mount to considerably more than triO.OOO.OOO, nccordlng to n pnper rend before tho Koclety of Kuglnccrs In Now York city by H. H. Wheelor, snys tho American Architect. The cost of the material nlono Is estimated nl f IS, 000.000. This structure, ono of tho wonders of the world, li founded on solid rock nt n depth of nbout 120 feet below the surfaco level nnd rises to n height of 15 1 feet. Its base covers nn area of almost fifteen ncres. Mr. Wheeler's scheme for tho rcpro ductlon of this pyramid contemplates flrst tho setting of n base of concrete, This would represent nbout 2.000.000 cubic yards of innterlitl nnd would cost nt lenst $10,000,000. The estimate for the superstructure Is nlMiut $518,' 000,000, and It would contain .l.ill.l.OOO cubic yards of bucking stone nnd HO.- 000 cubic yards of facing stone. Mr, Wheeler's estimate of labor Is 21,000, 000 days. These figures are cited tu show the grrnt engineering skill of the ICgyp- tlnus nml the fnct thnt no task In con structlou appeared to bu too largo for n peoplo whose extant monuments showed their patience and ability to overcome obstacles that would daunt even the modern engineer. Curious Epitaphs. Old Now Knglnud graveyards nro not tho only ones which contain curl ous epitaphs. Tho old Hutu dweller of Malno who "died of a falling tree," ns his headstone, asserts, had n fellow In mlsfortuno In fnruff Austria, ns Is shown by W. A. HalllleOrolimnn's "The Tyrol and the Tyroleso." A wooden slab, painted with tho rep lYscutntlon of a prostrate tree under which lies a mnn In spread eagle attl tude, bears testimony to the violent death of "Johann Lombcrger, nged llfljMwo nnd three-quarter years This upright nnd virtuous youth wns squashed by n falling tree." Tho record of Mlchnel Oerstner I even moro succinct nnd convincing, lie "climbed up, fell down nnd wns dead." Horse Sense, A horse Is so constructed by nature that ho has no dm I re to do nnythlng which will Injure his health. He walks nround whatever Is not good for hint ami without n struggle. Hut man Is so constructed that whatever Is not good for him ho wants to do. Ho eats too much, nnd ho cats too fnst. lie drluks while eatlug, and there Is nothing proper that he does without nn effort. Why this distinction lit fa vor of n horse? It may bo said that 11 horse 1ms only Instinct, while u man has reason, which he should uso. It U u pity that man was uot given more Instinct and less reason. Atchison Ulobo. First Aid.
