HIS NOVEL THEORY OF TIDES.
Uncle Alvah Dunning Thinks the Old
World "Sloshes" Around.
Undo Alvah Dunning, tho hermit of
tho Adirondacks, maintains that tho
earth is not round liko n ball, bnt as
flat as a pancako, or, at best, that it re
Romblcs a milk pan, with cnongh of an
edgo to it to keep tho water from run
ning away.
A number of guests at Charlio Ben-,
nott's "Antlors," on Raqnetto lake,
vrcro disenssing tho theory with Unclo
Alvah ono day during tho,huntmg sea
son. Ono of them undertook tho alto
gether hopeless task of convincing tho
old man of tho error of his belief.
Among other things ho called attention
to tho tides.
"Unclo Alvah," ho said; "you've
heard of tides, haven't vou? How do
you account for thorn if tho world isn't
round?"
Tho old man remained silent for
awhile and then drawled forth, "Waal,
I hov somo ideo as to 'em."
"What is it, then:-" asked tho ques
tioner, whilo all tho sportsmen drew
near to await tho answer. Undo Alvah
Yfa3 not to bo hurried, and after anoth
er pauso ho remarked:
"Did yo over turn over in bed? I
think's moro than likely."
ics, I'vo turned over in bed."
"Do yo sleep 'tween sheets?"
"Always," replied tho questioner
laughingly. "What's that got to do
with it?"
"It's got all to do with it, m my
opinion, when you went over, didn't
tho bedclothes kind o slip round an
slosh round an didn't get thero samo
timo as yon did?"
"Yes."
"Waal, that's my ideo of tho tides.
The old earth sort o' slips round under
tho water liko a man under tho bed
clothes, or it teeters n bit, liko when
you tip a milkpan. Tho water don't get
thero quito as fast as the land, tin that's
what makes tho tides." New York
Herald.
MY OWN THINGS."
The Present Timo Is an Age of Individual
Environment.
"Say, mamma, John's get my spoon.
Can't I havo it? It's mine."
"Oh, jnst look! Susan's playing tea
party with my dessert plate. Make her
top. She'll break it"
"I wish you'd find mv pepper box.
This isn't mine," proclaims tho head of
tho house. "It's mighty queer theso
servants can't ever remember my
things."
In tho library Unclo Jim is twisting
and turning and looking daggers at the
unconscious caller who is sitting in his
special chair. Ono member of tho house
hold is on tho wrong sido of tho table,
and tho right paper knifo is on tho left
magazine. Ho always sits tho other sido
for reading. From tho drawing room
tho voico of tho elder daughter is heard
toyibgi'OhToTTbuIafceaauro
thoso portieres. Tho colors do not suit
my style, you know. Imado a fuss, and
mamma took them in her room. I feel
color in every nerve."
Such is what tho fashion for bavin;
individual tilings has brought upon the
household. Wo havo tho individual fur
nishings, tho schemes of hangings to
bring out the individual beauty of my
lady's eyes, tho tint of her hair or tho
gleam of her shoulders, and on tho
other hand perish tho thought! to
sink the individual in tho useful. Havo
wo not tho special chair and foot rest.
candlestick and cushion?
Small wonder, then, that tho practical,
prosaio honsowifo exclaims: "I wish wo
could go back to those earlv Christian
days when thev had all things in com
mon. I believo I could bear it oven with
towels!" New York Times.
Cur in 5 a Snakr It! to.
As is well known, tho copperhead is
ono of tho most poisonous snakes, yet
J. C. Trent, who was bitten bv ono
three miles from Trimble, Tenn., expe
rienced no serious effects, owing to tho
remedy ho used, which is an uncommon
one. Ho was oat hunting, and when a
couple of miles from homo was bitten
on tho ankle. Ho at once started for
home, and on tho wav chewed and
swallowed what tobacco ho had. When
ho reached his house, somo fresh red
popcorn root was procured, and with
tho milky juico which exudes foni it a
stripo was mado around his leg jast be
low tho knee. Tho leg swelled up to
tho marl: and no farther, but it finally
becamo so tightly swollen aud painful
that tho juico was washed off and an
other marl: made with it around his
thigh. Tho swolling gradually climbed
up to tho now mark, giving hi in relief,
and ho recovered without using any
other remedy. Chicago Tribune.

Papa In tho Same Idst,
A gentleman formerly in tho servico
of tho United States navy married
Japanese beauty a few years ago and
settled down to domestic lif o in the Land
of tho Rising Sun.
Only a few months ago an old chua
of his, an officer on ono of our ships of
war, went to call upon him at his home
in Nagasaki. Whilo waiting in tho room
which might correspond to the parlor in
this country he heard the prattlo of
child in tho adjoining apartment Said
tho youngster:
"Who is tho foreign devil that has
conio to seo papa?"
"Hush," said tho nurse. "Tho gen
tleman might overhear yon. Hois a fel
low countryman of your father's."
"Well, papa is a foreign devil too."
This incident would seem to show
that certain colloquial phrases havo sur
vived tho feeling of hatred for foreign

The Primitive Fishhook.
Tho first implement used by man for
catching fish with a line was not a hook.
It was a pointed piece of bone or flint,
a simplo baitholder, and tho line, possi
bly a length or so of somo dried vine or
grass, was tied to tho middle of tho
piece. The fish swallowed tho whole
bait, bono and all, and so tho first im
plcmcnt was what wo wonld call a gorgo
hook today. In timo bronze was substi
tuted for bone, but tho form of tho first
implement was retained. Untold ages
passed beforo tho first fishhook was
made, and, strangely enough, when
prong was fashioned on tho hook, tho
prou turned outward and not inward.

AS ALIKE AS TWO PEAS.
Twin Brothers at Wesleran University,
Who Can't Be Told Apart,
Arthur and Archer Young of New-
Britain, twin brothers who aro as alike
as two copper cents or as tho proverbial
peas in a pod, entered Wesleyan uni
versity this autumn in tho freshman
class, and tho difficulty of distinguish
ing them has led to no end of mistakes.
Tho Young brothers say that th6 joke,
being to them of about 20 -years' stand
ing, has become a trifle old.
In college chapel they sit next to each
other, and if ono of them happens to
'cut" tho chapel monitor, whoso duty
is to record absences, has to flip up a
cent to decide which of them he shall
mark absent Both twins are on the
varsity football team, and though they
aro not heavy they have distinguished
themselves as being about tho pluckiest
players on tho eleven. They wear simi
lar bandages wrapped around their tow
colored heads, and their sleeveless jack
ets aro alike stained with tho blue dyo
of their jerseys. The other day in a
practice game tho ball was fumbled in
a scrimmage, and ono of tho twins fell
on it. Archer wa3 playing half back on
tho varsity, and Arthur was lined up
on tho scrub. A doubt at once arose in
the mind of Coach Steele as to which
side should havo the ball, that" function
ary, liko everybody else, being unable
to distinguish tho twins. Accordingly he
ran up to tho man who was scrambling
to his feet with the ball and asked in a
loud whisper:
"Say, which Young are you anyhow.
varsity or scrub?"
Ono of tho brothers had an entrance
condition in some branch of his prepar
atory work, and a date was set for tho
special examination. Tho brother who
had the condition marked against him
remained in his room, while tho other
twin took the examination and passed
it with flying colors. Thi3 happened be-

Tho rCevr Czar Acted ZJko a Booby and
Had to Be Braced and Coached.
Tho story of tho sadden evolution of
an emperor which was brought back to
London by the witnesses of the Russian
pageants of grief and joy ia ono of tho
strangest in tho personal histories of
great rulers. Tho members of tho Brit
ish court and tho English correspondents
who followed the funeral party from
Livadia to St Petersburg saw and heard
somo interesting things which it was
not-possible to describe in tho dispatches
which wero sent home. i
It is learned that for several days
after the death of Alexander HI tho
members of tho Russian court were re
duced to despair and distraction by the -
behavior of tho young czar. Hem

days a shrinking, cowering weakling. It
was almost impossible to coax or spur
him into the exercise of any of his Im-.
perial functions. Those whoso duty it
was to prompt him regarding the proper
stato and ether formalities were at their
wits' end, and the situation caused the
greatest alarm in the court When somo
simple course was urged upon him, the
young emperor shrank back and begged
that he bo let alone. Ho even whimpered
when tho necessity of action was pressed
upon him as imperative. He moro than
onco burst into tears and acted more
liko a terrified child than the ruler of
an empire.
This continued for seveal day3 after
tho arrival of the Prince of Wales, and
it was to him that the officials of the
Russian court finally appealed. The
prince was equal to the occasion, and in
the last three weeks he has done more
for England than tho whole British for

in a generation. Ho remained constant

heart and courage into him. Before tho.
