Tlio very general and unfavorable
comments made upon the apppoaoblog
marriage of'two promiuent members of
.New York and Nowport society are
sbowiug tbe high regard most peo
ple have for tbe sanctity of marriage
and home life. Ordinarily it is no
body's Lnsinesi exoopt those immed
iately concerned when two people join
tboir lives. 13ut when tba circum
stances are notorious nnd oilensive to
public Boutimuut, it is a different matter.
The ben that fails to lay an egg all

Gems From Pope.
With tbe exception of Shakespeare,
Pope is the author of more familiar
phrases than any other writer of mod
ern times. Hero ore a few of his
gems:
"Shoot folly nw she flies." "Hope
Kprlngs eternal in the human breast."
".Man never Is but always to be bless
ed." "Whatever is Is right. fbe
proper study of mankind is man."
"Grows with his growth and strength
ens with his Htrengtli. -urunr is
heaven's first law." "Worth makes
the man and want of It the fellow."
"Honor and shnme from no condition
rise; act well your part there all the
honor lies." "An honest man's the
noblest work of God." "Thou wert my
guide, philosopher and friend." "Ev
ery woman Is at heart a rake." "Wo
man's nt best a contradiction still."
Just as the twlsr is hunt the tree's in
clined." "Who shall decide when doc
tors disagree?" "A little learning is
n dangerous thing." "To err is human,
to forgive divine." "Beauty draws us
with a single hair." "Fools rush, m
where angels fear to trend." "Damn
with faint praise." "Tho many head
ed monster."
Sharp Banking.
Everybody Is familiar with tbe little
Bavlngs banks for ten cent pieces, the
kind that holds fifty dimes and cannot
be opened until It is full. Such a hank
was given to n little girl and her
brother, the children of n Washington
official. It contained one dime, a nest
egg. The day was warm and soon the
desire of the jolufowncrs of the bank
to convert tho deposit into two glasses
of soda water became all but uncon
trollable. The question was how to
got the money out. Finally the boy
destined, Ills father thinks, to become
a Napoleon of finance lilt upon a lan
and dragged his sister to (lie nearest
drug store. There ho explained the
situation to the man behind the counter
nnd broached his plan of operations.
In short, he asked the man to lend
lit mi forly-nino ten cent pieces for a
minute or two. Tho man was ready
for a customer, produced the needed
coins, and the little boy and girl went
home penniless and happy. New York
Tribune.
Tho Blow on the Jaw.
A man tstruek with any degree of
force upon the mental area of the jaw,
although ho may be In perfect physical
condition, Instantly collapses and falls
to tho ground, says a medical journal.
The attitude assumed In recovery,
which may be Instantaneous or delay
ed some minutes, Is most characteris
tic, lie squirms about, raises his head
and rolls his eyes in an attempt to lo
cato himself. Ho tries to get on his
side and elbow; he endeavors to rise
upon his hands and knees. If ho re
gains his feet he staggers like a drunk
en man, and should ho proceed to re
open hostilities lie Is usually prompt
ly "put out" by his adversary, Tho
blow Is practically never fatal; tho
heart's action is never unduly acceler
ated; the pulse and respiration are nor
mal; the pupils are normal; there Is no
headache, no sweats, no cold extremi
ties, no pallor none of the ordinary
signs of shock or concussion.
When the Time Comes.
Man liltlo knows what calamities are
beyond his patience to bear till he tries
them. As in ascending the heights of
ambition, which look bright from be
low, every step wo rise shows us some
new and gloomy prosiect of hidden
disappointment, so In our descent from
the summits of pleasure, though tho
vale of misery below may appear at

Broadway and the Strand.
Broadway, New York, is the more or
less exact counterpart of the London
Strand. It is actually broader, but It
appears more narrow because Vhe
bouses are so much higher, and it Is
a little straighter because it is a made
road, not a road evolved from what
was once a path along river mud. The
general effect is identical. There are
the same kinds of shops and a crowd I
of tho same type passiugfto or from
the business quarter of the city. But,
as I have said, one rubs one's ,eyes
looking out nt the crowd upon the
sidewalk. It Is the Strand crowd
cosmopolitan, varied, people touching
one another so closely that the tops of
their heads nppcnr to form nnothcr
tier on the street, a tier paved with
hats instead of wood blocks or gran
ite sets. Thoro it is, the crowd. But
It appears to stop still. In one's first
astonishment one thinks that afTfhc&e-T
people nre waiting for a procession to
pass. One cannot believe that they
are the procession. Nevertheless as
tbe Blow trolley passes onward one
realizes that tho crowd Is nctually in
motion-that it is the thing itself, not
the procession. It Is an extraordinary

Victor Hugo's Golden Gift.
A Paris chifl'onnli r makes a living of
a sort, and he sometimes In overhaul
ing the dust bins comes across a find.
In this respect a I'nris contemporary

A little silver gilt souvenir sm. on whhh
the poet valued very much disappear
ed. Through the carelessness of the
maidservant It had found its way
into tho nsh bucket and in due course
into the hands of the chiffonnior who
practiced in the district. This worthy
succeeded In getting the poet to awake
from his reveries and to descend from
the lofty heights of Olympus In other
words, his study to receive back tho
lost spoon. Hugo was delighted to get
back his souvenir. Tho author of
"Hernaul" was never n prodigal, so he
rewarded the chlffonnier by presenting
him with a copy of bis "Lcs Chansons
des Rues ct dos Bols," snylng, "There,

gold as Is contained in any jewel caso

Guarding the Bank of England.
The Bauk of England's nightly guard
Is drawn from the guards stationed in
the Tower of Loudon. The custom of
providing a little gnrrisou of guards
for the Bank of England every night
dates back to 1780, the tlmo of tho
Gordon riots. Tho troops are made
very comfortable lu the bank, and the
olllccr in command is provided with a
dinner for himself and two friends.
Of course an allowance of wine, sat
isfactory from both points of view, is
made. The vaults of the Bank of Eng
land would make lino robbing. They
frequently contain fifty millions ster
ling. Several keys arc necessary to
open the lock to the whitewashed
vaults, and each key is in the posses
sion of a different person. Tho gold
lies piled on trucks to facilitate re
moval or is heaped against tho walls
in sacks.

Legs That Hear.
One of the strangest and most un
expected of the uses to which wo could
Imagine a leg as being put is that Of
nn organ of hearing. Yet such seems
to bo one at least of the functions of
the fore legs in the cricket. On the
outer side of the tibia a small oval
space may be seen, In which the strong
armature which covers tho rest of the
body is reduced to it thin and mem
branous condition, making thus n sort
of window or drumhead. Communi
cating with this, inside the log, are
tho ends of a nerve, and it can hardly
bo doubted, therefore, that ho whole
apparatus constitutes an auditory organ.
