HE HAD TO HURRY.
On the Dead Ruth Because He Had No
Time to Spare.
In Chicago there is a man whom his
friends know as Inahurry Jones. One
morning about 10 o'clock a man with
southern blood in his veins saw Jones,
whose energy be had often admired,
tearing down State street as if propel
led by the winds of heaven. It came
over the southerner to follow Jones
just to see where he was going and
how tremendous a matter was depend
ent on his getting there. -
Jones rushed Into the Pajmer House,
rushed up to the cigar stand, grabbed
a cigar, yelled back, "Puteronmyac
count," without stopping to sort the
Words, and dashed out, with the south
erner panting hard behind. After tear,
ing down Washington street for half
a block he dived into the Field office
building and just missed being jam
med by the elevator doors in his de
termination not to lose a car.
The southerner took the next car up
and entered Jones' office timidly, cer
tain that he was about to come upon a
conference of at least four of the most
important men in Chicago's financial
world. Inside he found Jones smoking
his cigar behind the morning paper,
his feet on his desk and his swivel
chair tilted back comfortably. New

The Doomed Shepherd Dog.
The shepherd's dog that kills a sheep
is doomed. The penalty is death. Ste
venson in one of his essays tells a story
of how John Todd, "the oldest herd on
the rentlands," once saw a dog he
knew maneuvering toward a pool be
hind Kirk Vetton.
"John lay the closer under the bush
and presently saw the dog come forth
upon the margin, look ail about him to
see If he were anywhere observed,
plunge in and repeatedly wash him
self over head and ears and then (but
now openly with tail in alr strike
homeward over the hills." But the
aog's high intelligence did not save
hint, John reported his doings, and he
"was had out to a dykeside and
promptly shot." He was a sheep eater;
he had betrayed tois trust Londou

Bears One Crop and Dies.
The sago palm tree bears but one
crop of fruit Its load of nuts is its
first and final effort in the way of fruit
bearing. The nuts become ripe and are
strewn in thousands around the tree
until the great stem stands up by itself,
empty and bare. . The branches turn
brown and drop one by one to the
ground. Inside the trunk the work of
decay is going on until what at ono
time was a mass of white sago and
pith becomes nothing but a collection
of rotten brown fibers. One day the
trade wind blows more strongly than
usual, and the leafless column of the
trunk falls with a crash, destroying in
its fall many of the young palms that
are already springing from the nuts
scattered some months before.

THE OPEN MOUTH.
Causes That Induce It When We Are
Intently Listening.
Why do we open our mouths when
Intently listening?
There are three causes, entirely In
dependent of one another, but acting
in unison, for this action. There ia a
passageway called the' eustachian tube,
connecting the back of the throat and
the middle ear, the part behind the
drum. When intently listening we
hold our breath, and this permits
Pound waves to enter Jhe mouth and
reach the eustachian tube, and In this
way they reach the drum and re-enforce
the sound waves that come
V'iroiigh the uatural channel, the outer
ear.,
lo concentrated attention the mind Is
fully engrossed In the one subject, and
It loses control over voluntary muscles
that are not directly affected by the
subject or the process Involved In the
motor activity that accompanies men
tal activity. The muscles are relaxed,
the lower jaw drops, and this opens
the mouth.
The third cause is referable to ata
vism, or the tendency to return in form
or action to an early type. Early man,
like the animals, was urged to action
by the fundamental Instincts! self
preservation and race preservation.
His two alms were to secure food and
avoid or destroy enemies. Like the
anlmn.ls. when his attention was at
tracted by a sound he placed himself
in the attitude for instant defense, at
tack or securing food. In this attitude
his mouth was open to grasp Instantly
what came In his way. The tendency
to open the month when intently lis
tening still remains. New York Amer

DIG THEIR OWN GRAVES.
English Army Methods In the Execu
tion of Condemned Spies.
The ceremony of disposing of a con
demned spy In the English army al
ways follows a definite precedent.
The unfortunate man is surrounded
by a detachment of infantry, and after
he Is provided with a pick and shovel
he is marched off to a selected spot
and ordered to dig his own grave.
This doue. the tools are taken from
him and his eyes are bandaged. The
attending chaplain reads portions se
lected from the burial service, and
from the ranks of the escort twelve
men are selected at random by the
officer In chnrge.
These men. havlnj stacked their own
rifles, are led to where twelve other
rifles are awaiting them. , six of which
are loaded with blank cartridges. One
of these is handed to each man. so
that no one knows whether the rifle
he holds contains a bullet or not. and
none can say for certain that the shot
fired by him killed the prisoner. The
firing party, then marches to an ap
pointed position. The commands "Pre
sent!" "Fire!" are given, and almost
before the last word rings out the
volley is fired and the spy falls into
the grave he has dug.
Nearly every man Is more or less af
fected on being selected to form one
of the firing party, nnd many men
have been known to fnlnt away on be
Ing singled out while others are so
overcome as .to be scarcely able to
pull the triggers of their rifles.
Carlyle's Bluntness.
Thomas Carlyle once took Lord
Houghton (Richard Mllnesi to task In
regard to the proposed pension for
Lord Tennyson. "Richard Milnes,"sald
Carlyle. taking his pipe out of his
mouth, "when are ye gaun to get that
pension for Alfred Tennyson?" Milnes
tried to explain that there were diffi
culties In the way and that possibly his
constituents who knew nothing about
Tennyson would accuse him of belug
concerned in a job were he to succeed
In getting the desired pension for the
poet "Richard Milnes," replied the
sage, "on the day of judgment, when
the Lord asks ye why ye didnn get that
pension for Alfred Tennyson. It'll no do
to lay the blame on your constituents
It's you that'll be damned." .

In consequence of a pretty hard fall
he had in his early days. Jupiter nnd
Juno had a row. and Vulcan, sided

Beloved of the Gods,
Miss Mary Anderson (Mme. Navar

"TIPPING IS ANCIENT."" '
lo Shakespeare's Time It Used to Be
Called Vailegiving.
The word tip is of compartlvely mod
ern origin, as it used to be vails, a
shortened form of avails or profits. We
speak now of the avails of an estate
or of a business transaction. A hun
dred years ago they called gratuities
to servants or waiters vails. Dr. John
Ion's dictionary, published In 1755, de
fines vails as "money given to servants
as a perquisite or present rather than
In the way of wages." Dean Swift
mentions a person "whose revenues,
besides vails, amounted to 13." Shake
speare uses the word In the same sense
where he makes one of the fishermen
In "Pericles" say. "But hark you. my
friend, 'twas we that made up this gar
ment and there are certain condol
ments, certain vails." He wanted to
be condoled with a tip.
The practice probably continued to
grow after Shakespeare's time, for late
"p the eighteenth century a philan
thropist and reformer of the period
published a tract against indiscrim
inate almsgiving, and denouncing the
vails practice as demoralizing both to
those who gave and to those who ac
cepted the gratuities. This early re
former was Jonas Hanway (1712-178C).
who, after writing a book of eastern
travel, undertook to reform some of
the sooial vices of his day. He de
nounced vailsglvlng and practiced
what lie .preached by refusing to pay
more than the stipulated price for re
freshments or for any kind of service
or to give gratuities to servants who
received wages. But his crusade died
with him. and vails still survive under
the odious name of tips. Indianapolis

ANTS HAVE FIVE NOSES.
The Sense of Smell Is Very Important
to These Insects.
In their antennae, or feelers, ants
have five noses, each of which has its
own duties to perforin.
One nose tells the ant whether it is
In its own nest or that of an enemy;
another nose discriminates between
odors of ants of the same species, but
of different colonies: a third nasal or
gan serves the purpose of discerning
I the scent Inid down by the ant's own
I feet, so tlint it may be able to retrace
the way quite easily: a fourth nose
smells the larvae and pupae, and the
fifth nose detects the presence of an
enemy.
If an ant be deprived of a certnln
nose, it will live peaceably with ene
mies, but if It retains Its fifth nose It
I will fight the alien to the death. There
is u difference In the functions of nose
one and nose five, although they ap
pear to be somewhnt alike.
This sense of smell does not come
till the ants are three days old. If.
therefore, nuts only twelve hours old
J are placed among others belonging to
different colonies, they will grow up
I quite amicably and not understand
j that they are a mixed lot, because
i they will have grown up with Ideas of
j scent in accordance with their sur-
roundings. The sense of smell to them
j is as Important as the sense of sight
I to human beings.
Placid Hindu Servants.
Hindoo servants are the most im
perturable people in the world. You
may throw -ne dowustairs or pat him
on the back. He accepts both with ex
actly the same expression of counte
nance. The Indian's religion is at the
( bottom of all his nets, all his feelings.
He eats, sleeps, moves and has bis be
ejng according to religious formula, and
his doctrine of reincarnation forms his
whole philosophy of life. The fact
that you are the master now is due to
the fact that you have been the servant
in some previous reincarnation. He
Is the servant now, nnd the only chance
: for him to be reborn in the master's
his present Incarnation. He takes ev
erything philosophically. It Is all a
part of the day's work.
Kept a Watch on His Men.
Sir Edward Harland was the founder
of the great. Belfnst firm of shipbuild
ers. His lynx eyed vigilance was a
legend at the works. It was said that
he used to survey the workmen through
a telescope from the windows of his
residence. Oniilston. All the men felt
that his eye was on them. A riveter
who has a spite against a fellow work
er on a ship can let a riveting hammer
fall, apparently by accident, upon his
victim. It was gravely alleged that
Harland once by bis telescope caught
a riveter In this act and. as soon as he
arrived at the works, walked up to the
man and sacked him.
Glassy,
"I suppose" said the man In the yel.
low coat, trying to be chummy, "it
doesn't hurt your glass eye when yon
get anything In It?"
"Docs it look as If it would ever be
likely to have a pane In it?" responded
the other frigidly. Ajid. he gave him a
glassy stare.

FREEDOM OF LONDON.
It Carries With It the Right to Keep
Pigs In St. James' Parish.
Many towns In Great Britain enjoy
special and cculiar privileges. When,
some years agd. parliament deprived
the Cinque Ports of their ancient privi
leges. Rrightlingsea. a Cinque Port
"limb" or "appanage," was In some
way overlooked. Consequently Its in
habitants are still exempt from serv
ing on Juries, they cannot be taken by
the press gang, and the town can still
appoint Its own ale taster. It Is at
BrightllLgsea that the ceremony of
electing the mayor takes place In the
belfry of the parish church.
In at least one manor, that of the
Earl of Carnarvon, the inhabitants
may cheerfully disregard the enact
ments of the ground game act, passed
twenty years ago. The ancient right
?if free chase and warren over freehold
and is still In force there. Indeed It
was actually exercised a very few
years ago. and a private bill was
brought Into parliament designed to do
away with It The bill however failed
to become law.
The freedom of the city of London
carries with It, nominally, at any rate,
the right to keep pigs in the parish of
St. James, Piccadilly. But, If any one
was disposed to avail himself of this
liberty land in that part of London is
somewhat too costly for profitable pig
farming. London Enmity II era Id.
