Absurd Stage Business.
Theatrical production is full of ab
surdities in business. A situation Is
required, n situation is thrown in. It
makes not tho slightest difference if It
bo a trolley car crew of song nnd dance
brothers manning a yacht in tho desert
of Sahara. You have the trolley crew
and tho yacht, nnd if the scene hap
pens to be a Bectlon of the arid west
where typhoons take the place of wa
terspoutswell, so much tho worse for
tho scene. And If the conductors col

He Couldn't See the Joke.
"The mother-in-law joke Isn't half
as funny to me as It was when I wns
n bachelor," said n young New Yorker
to his old chum. "I've got n pretty
good mother-in-law myself, nnd she's

his friend. "How your sense of humor

Running For the Car.
If you feel like emulating Sherlock
Holmes try your luck occasionally
when you see some one run for n street
cur. It's n good, easy way to deter
mine tho previous training nnd the
present occupation of the subject.
You will see one follow dush easily
toward the car with a long, swinging
stride that usually means athletics, but
no special training In tho sprint. The
old time college runner can be picked
out by the way he throws his knees in
front. like n high bred trotter.

Self Disgraced.
In Boston, ns every one knows, the
symphony concerts nre viewed In the
light of sucred ceremonials. In this
connection the story Is told of two lit
tle girls of a certain family who re
turned from the music hall "In a state
of mind." One of them curried nn ex
pression of deep scorn, the other nn
ulr of grent dejection.
"What Is the mutter, girls?" asked
some member of the household. "Wns
the concert tine?"
"The concert was all rltrht," respond
ed Eleanor. "The trouble wns with
Mary. She disgraced herself."
"Disgraced herself?"
"Yes; she sneezed In the middle of
tho symphony ." Phlladelphi i Ledger.
How Needles Are Made.
Needles are all made h.v machinery.
The piece of mechanism by which the
needle Is manufactured takes the
rough steel wire, cuts It Into proper
lengths, tiles the point, flattens the
head, pierces the eye, then Mini-pens
the tiny Instrument and give It that
polish familiar to the purchut-er. There
Is also n innchhie by which needles aro
counted nud placed In the papers in
which they are sold, these being after
nurd folded by the fame contrivance.
It Was All Within.
A practical Joker curried an onion
in his pocket to the depot when bid
ding farewell to a young Indy nud
took a bite now and then to Induce
tears. Before the train departed he
!md eaten the entire onion. The young
lady, perceiving the Munition, re
marked, "Ah, you have swallowed
your grief!" Hurper'B Weekly.

Mispleced Sympathy.
A sympathetic Frenchman unluckily
bought nn almanac that gaxe the dates
or tho world's chief events. From that
day on he lived a life of mourning
Thus on April 30 he bad crape on his
hat.
"Hae you lost a relative?" a friend
asked. "Not exactly." said he. "But
today Is a sad anniversary for the
French people. On April 30. 1521, t lu
etic! nllor Bayurd died." On Mny 2
his had crape on ngain. "Still mourn
ing Bayard?" said the friend "No,"
said he, "but don't you remember that
on May 2 n great and charming poet.
Alfred de Mussct. breathed hU last?"
On the (Itli of the same month. "Whom
nre y6u mourning for now?" "For nu
honest man, General Cavlagnac." On
the 30th, crying terribly, be said: "Ah
Joan of Arc! On this date, In 1431, u
handful of Englishmen nnd n miser
able bishop put the eullunt maid to
death." On July 13 he took n bath In
memory of the nssasslnatlon of Marat
On the 10th Bcranger's death gave him

Eloquence cf the Welsh.
Here is a little story of an English
man In Wnles: "On the coniparatlu
qualities of the English and Welsh
tongues let me ttll of the Welshman
who saluted me In the Welsh. I was
compelled ro confess ignorance. 'Ah,'
lie said, turning fluently enough to
English, 'you Miould loam the Welsh'
My wife was English, nnd she can
speak conversations now quite well.'
"I acknowledged my rhiirtcomlngs
nnd admitted that I bad always under
stood the Welh to be a lemarkably
eloquent tongue. 'Yes, yc. It lss so.'
said the nntlve. 'In Welsh n man can
express exactly what he means. As
for the English, I call It not a language
at all only a dialect.
" 'You haf noted that an Engllfhniun
or n foreigner la speaking his hitimage
waxes his hands and nr"is about to
help out the meaning of the words, but
a Y elshman who can ppeak Welsh
welt he hass no need to, move his
hum's. In the Welsh he can say all
thut he nienns.' "Chicago News.
Fifo Wheat.
Years ago, about a century, David
Fife., a Scotchman of Otonnbee. Ont..
sent to a friend In Glasgow for n
small bag of seed wheat to try lu n
cleared patch of the backwoods. The
friend obtained some seed from n
vessel Just In from Danzig. Unfortu
nately It was a fall wheat and reached
David Fife In the spring. Neverthe
less Dn Id Fife sowed It In spring.
One can guess how feverishly the
backwoods farmer watched for the
growth of his experiment. Only three
wheat bends survived till the fall, but
those three wheat heads were entirely
free of the rust that had ruined his
neighbor's crops, nnd those three bends
reullv represented n new variety of
wheat, a fall wheat turned Into a
spring who-it. David Fife U'easured
tho Ihree heads and planted( them In
spring Such was the beglnulng of
Fife wheat In America. Agnes C. Laut

Our favorite and much petted pea
cock, mijs a correspondent of the Lon

length of time looking at ils if flection
hi the window pane or In a looking
glass. He comes lu dally to tea, mak
ing no mistake about the hour, and
spends much time en route In gazing at
himself ns he appears In the glass of
the French windows by which he en
ters the room. If I am sewing and do
not speak to hhn when be comes Into
the room, he will gently put his head
quite cloe, nlniost touching my ring
or needle, for he likes bright things,
till I have to give up working and talk
to hltn as with a small child whom one
Is afraid of pricking.
Lost Charm cf the Wayside Inn.
Tho Inns of England, celebrated by
Harrison nud famous far and wide at
the beglnulng of the last century, have,
degenerated Into sad places which we
visit only of necessity. Little did
Stepiienson think when he proposed
the line from Manchester to Liverpool
thut he would ruin the wayside inns
of England nnd kill the nrt of cookery.
