What ia "the Aniwerf It happened during' the construction of one of Kansas City's skyscrapers.

A recent Kngllsh traveler ini Balu cliistnn had from a holy man in that country a story about Moses which docs not appear in the Scriptures,, yet whkh hns its pertinence to this rnat- ter of politicians proposing to do away with all tbe evils of the human, lot, says the Century Magazine. Tbe patri arch was sitting in his house very sad, and tbe Lord said to blm, "Prophet Moses, why . art thou . cast down?" "Alns," said he, "I see so many people sorrowful. , Some are unclothed, and 8oiiH! are hungry. I pray thee make all happy and contented." The Lord prom ised it should be so. But soon Moses was ngnln disconsolate, and ouce more the Lord asked the cause. "Lord," cried the prophet, "the upper story of my bouse hns fallen down, and nobody will come to mend it; they are all too busy enjoying themselves." "But what am I to do?" "Lord, make the people as they were before!" . .. , EVERY BOTTLE GUARANTEED. gme5a Momttiets Just while the thermometer is flirting with zero, and the cold north 8 north winds whistle through 'every crack and creyice of the home comes this announcement ot x poms DSD B fed .coveiir We do not pretend to tell you that we are selling them at a loss that wouldn't be business, but by a luck purchase, we procured these blankets and comforts at a re markable price concession, and we are going to give our patrons the full benefit.

Many of their dances are pantomlmicTj Their singing Is often weird in tbe ex treme. It would be idle' to describe it. Only phonographic records could do it partial justice. National Geographic Magazine. . ' ' . Anecdote of Sheridan. When Richard Brinsley Sheridan was In distress in early ' life one of his recourses was that of writing for tbe fugitive publications of the day, in which be was materially assisted by his wife, and many years after his entrance into tbe sphere of politics he was heard to say that "if he had stuck to law he believed he should have done as much as bis friend Tom Era kine; but," continued be, "I bad no time for such studies. ; "Mrs. Sheridan and myself were often obliged to keep writing for our daily leg or shoulder of mutton; other wise we should have had no dinner."

Since that day tbe art lias greatly developed, and in certain of the towns lacemnklng is tbe chief occupation. Almost all tbe women, many children and not ft few men are engaged In this industry. A curious fact with reference to tbe Par aguayan laces is' that the, designs wore borrowed from the strange webs woven by the semitroplcal spiders that abound in that country. Accordingly this lace la by tbe natives called nan duti, which means "aplder web." Ex change. '- ' -: " j Cruel.:' "I made these biscuits myself, Da vid," said Mrs. Copperfletd, witb hon est pride.
