An Artist's Criticism. Falguiere, the sculptor, tells a capi tal story of nenner, the great artist, .who, although he lived In Paris all his life, never lost his Alsatian peasant ac cent or bis country manners. But Henner was a very keen critic and had a clever way of showing bis dis like of wordy enthusiasm. Falguiere, whose talent as a sculptor is known all the world over, was very fond of painting, but he did not paint particu larly well. One day Henner was la his studio, and Falguiere showed blvn some of his pictures. "What do you think of this one?" asked Falguiere. "Superb!" said Henner, with his Al satlon accent "MarfelousI" "And this one?" "Brodltchous!" "And this one?" "Supllme!" Then the old man picked up a little bust which his friend had just fin ished: "Ah!" he said. "Now, dafs good!" "I never painted after that," said Falguiere. New York Mall. Have You Diplopia? Diplopia, as its name signifies, Is the defect which causes the eye to see two Images of the same object Of course the drunkard's temporary diplopia is well known, but It Js possible for ft quite sober person to perceive two key holes instead of one, as the comic jour nals have it and yet be a total ab stainer. Diplopia Is usually the result of squint or general eye weakness and Is necessarily a distressing malady. As a rule, the defect manifests itself In regard to small objects at some dis tance eight feet or so. For Instance, one lamp will be seen slightly above another or to right or left As a rule, the false Image is fainter than the genuine one, but when I looked through the prism, which made me for the time being dlploptlc, I saw the second Image quite as clearly as the first but with a tendency to wander. The farther away the false Image appears from the true the less distinct Is Its outline. Strand Magazine. Why Cuvier Wore a Beard. "To save time Is to lengthen life" is a proverb found in one form or an other In almost every language, and Cuvier, the great naturalist, found life all too short to accomplish all he wished to do, though most economical of the hours. "I found," ho said, "that my shaving took me a quarter of an hour a day. This makes seven and a half hours in a month and ninety hours, . or three days and eighteen hour!, very nearly four days, a year. This discovery stag gered me. Here was I complaining that time was too short, that the years flew by too swiftly, that I had not hours enough for work, and In the midst of my complaining I was wast ing nearly four days a year In lather ing my face with a shaving brush, and I resolved thenceforth to let my beard grow." Omaha World-Herald. A Story of Mark Twain. When Mark Twain was beginning his career as a humorous lecturer be one day arranged with a woman ac quaintance that she should sit In a box and start the applause when he should stroke his mustache. The lecturer started off so well that he did not need any such help, however, for he caught the audience from the first. By and by, when not saying anything worthy of particular notice, he happened to pull his mustache, and his anxious ally In the box at once broke into furi ous applause. Mark was all but bro ken up by the misadventure and ever afterward carefully avoided employing such help to success. Unique Tablecloth. When a southeast wind Is blowing tho visitor to Capo Town is treated to a peculiar and interesting natural phe nomenon, for under such conditions Table mountain, In the language of the natives, "puts on a tablecloth." In other words, the thin lino of fleecy cloud forming above it descends until It rests flat upon the mountain top, with its edges drooping gracefully over Its sides. It Is really not unlike the article of household use which gives it its name. Echoes of the Past. Mark Antony had asked his country men to lend him their ears. "I want them for a loan exposition," ho explained. "I have already a splen did collection of Roman noses." Having gained their attention by this littlo flight of fancy, he proceeded to fling a few choice bouquets at the late J. Caesar. Chicago Tribune. Valuable Advice.

Cases In Which They Are Perceptible to the Eye. "It Is not such an uncommon thing," said a physician, "to find a person whose ouise beats can be plainly seen, and yet I suppose there are but few outside of the profession who realize the fact. lu most persons the beat of the nulse cannot be perceived, but the mere fact that the beating is percepti ble does not mean that the pulse is other than normal. I have come across a number of cases where the throbbing of the wrist could be plainly seen, and yet the persons rarely gave evidence of abnormality in temperature. .They feverish and were in good physical condition generally. Pulses of this kind, from this view, wnicn is based upon actual observations of cases, do not indicate anything more than an abnormal physical condition In the formation of the wrist veins. "I have met with one case which was nnsHihlv 11 little extraordinary in that it was plainer and much more distinct than any 1 had ever seen before. It could almost be heard. The artery would rise to a point almost as large as the ball of the little finger of a child and would change from the white of the skin to a blood purple with each beat of the pulse. I found it easy to count the pulse beats without touching the patient's wrist I could Bee plainly enough to keep the record, and in order not to err in my calcula tion I tested it In several ways and found it was correct and that there was no mistake in my counting with the naked eye."
