mac niouiiUtiuH, hi the wernera part of
Guiana, that it watt not ucceHHury for bis
wen to Ufwwnd t-o a creek wlion they
wanted a drink of water. A vine known
as the wutervine is found all through t hat
region. It yields an abundant supply of
excellent drinking fluid whenever It Is
called upon. This vine grotfs toahp.Kht
of sixty tontuuty fwt. It in usually atiout
as tbiuk an the uppw part of the human
arm. It winds Itaelf loowty around tree,
fllamhera up to thair mi mm its and then
falls down perpendicularly to the ground,
where it take root again.
The natives out thin vine off at the
ground and then, at a height of atiout nix
or seven feet, they cut it again, which
leave in their band a very stout piece of
wood a little longer than tiieniHelvm. In
order to obtain it wip they raise the lower
end of the vine upon Home mipport and ap
ply the upper end to their mouths, Tbe
auction of the vim, while showing a
month, apparently compact aurfaoe, is

which the aap flows freely, blx feet of the
vine gives about a pint of water which in

nventurs and Imv,
There is no doulit tlmt inventors do not,
as a rule, make good lovers. The man
whoa? brain is full of some great mechani
cal project, whose heart ami soul are cen
tered on t be achievement of aome wonder
of wheel or pulleys, or fire or ateam, has
not much room for tbe softer feelinga
which supply so much of the poetry of
cnrnttion humanity. Hi love is given to
his invention. Uf it he dreams by day a
well as by night; for it he makeii hl sacri
fices, undergoes privations and waits and
laiKtrs with Hocb patient endurance.
He will often woo and marry, after the
manner of meu, but he will never become
the "moonstruck," lovelorn individual
which more purposeless men are capable
of Iteooming. He will Ik a businesslike
rather than an ardent lover, and will make
a dut iful ruther than uu affectionate bus
band; the romance of his life is his life's
work, his invention, uud as tlmt goes well
or ill no will bin heart be light or heavy.

Keedtework In the toventh Century.
Before the end of the Seventh century
needlework wax curried to great perfection
in convent, where It was used, for the em
bellishment of the church and the decora
tion of priestly robes. Artist did not think
it U'tieat h their dignity to trace the pat
terns used for embroidery in their natural
colors. A certain religious lady, wishing
to embroider a sacerdotal vestment, asked
no lean a personage than St. Iunstan, then
a young muu, but already noted for his
artiKtic tiki II and taste, to draw t he flowers
and figures which she afterward worked
in gold thread. Wonmu's Work.

Gallantry Tlmt Matte a funs.
Whether gallantry is at nil times a good
thing to display In public is a rjufwUon that
was debated mentally by a earful of people
in H road way Friday night. The car was
bound down town, and at fourteenth
street it was comfortably filled. It was
nearly 11 o'clock, and the outpouring
crowd from the Star theater supplied
enough mora passenger to pack tire car
from door to door. Three or four men
were seated, and half a dozen women, all
young, vivacious and apparently robust,,
were standing, Everybody was good na
turod, and as the car bowled along there
was not the slightest manifestation of dis
comfort, lint there was one very gallant
young man who could not let well enough
alone. He was packed snugly between two
women, whone skirts almost concealed the
lower portion of his body. -.
By frantic efforts he extricated himself,
and with a polite bow tendered his seat to
A young woman who was contentedly con
versing with some friends who were also
standing. She glanced ' at the vacated
seat, saw about two inches of space, and
smilingly shook her head. Butthegallant
young man insisted, and, in an effort to
make another bow, knocked a stout woman
with a bundle off her balance. The woman
felUnto the hip of an old gentleman am
the bundle landed among the feathers and
ribbons of a "love of a bonnet" at the
other end of the car.
The startled old gentlemen, in trying to
assist the stout woman to her feet, lost his
silk hat, which, in its downward course,
swept a pair of opera glasses from the lap
of the woman who sat next t o him. Mean
while the gallant young man was trying to
apologize to the stout woman. He stum
bled over the feet of one passenger,
knocked a woman's hat awry, and by the
sudden stopping of the car involuntarily
embraced the maiden to whom he had of
fered his seat. There were muttered signs
of discontent, and the embarrassed gallant
would have left the car but for the nuissss
of humanity packed between him and the
doors. He therefore swung disconsolately
from a strap, bumping against this one
and that, and listening to such feminine
ejaculations as "Well, I never!" "For
goodness sake!" Gracious!" etc. And the
young woman did not take his seat. New
York Times.
The Oame of Chews.
The origin and history of tbe game of
chess is involved in much obscurity. Some
authors say that it was invented during
the siege of Troy to relieve the tediousness
thus imposed upon the Grecian chiefs.
Others refer the invention to the Egyp
tians and cite a sculpture of the time of
the building of the Pyramids, where a lion
and a unicorn ore depicted as being deep
in the mysteries of tbe game. The Chinese
claim the game as one of their inventions,
and so do several other countries and no
tions, -among them the Ceylonese. They
say that while Kavan, a king of Ceylon,
was undergoing a siege, Beffa, a Hindoo
mathematician, invented the game for the
amusement of his royal master, who was
thus enabled to mimic the movements of
his enemies on the tiny batilelleld before
him.
Although we can find no definite trace of
the game in England prior to its introduc
tion by the French in the Eleventh cen
tury, it is known to have been the court
game all over continental Europe at least
fcOO years before. Alplionso, king of Cas
tile, and Pope Innocent III, both wrote
works on the game, and the second book
printed in t he English language was "The
fiame and Piaye of the Chesse." Sac
cheiri, a Jesuit of Turin, ca'.led the "Chess
Bishop," could play with three different
opponents with' tut seeing oue of the
boards, and talk with the company during
the time of the play, St. Louis Republic,
The Oranlwrewut Sandwrrh Man.
Too much enterprise sometimes defeats
itself. The erase for advertising by means
of a big set Btieue iu u show window doubt
less has its uses but it would shock the
great merchants who pay the bills if they
could see exactly how the scheme some
times worked. .l-uch a window hod been
decked out the i :t her day whether in the
capital or the metropolis makes no differ
ence and before it were gathered repre
sentatives, both small and great, of the
public who were to be captured by the free
show. What did they see? Not one detail
of the elaborate display prepared for their
benefit, but instead four huge sandwich
boards advertising the similar wares of a
rival.
It was not a deep laid scheme on the
part of the rival either. He had simply
sent out a brigade of such irresponsible
citizens as are willing to be employed as
peripatetic business announcements, with
instructions to keep where the largest
crowd was to he found. Attracted both
by the throng and by the scene in the win
dow they hud placed themselves in the
front rank of spectators, and by leaning
their boards in a row against the glass,
hod transformed the costly advertisement
of the wealthier house into a free boom for
the cheap one. Kate Field's Washington.
TalUes Cats. .
Conditions other than those of mere
breeding seem to have much influence
on the development of physical charat
ter in cats. In oue authenticated case a
tabby, which had lost her tail by having
that appendage run over, gave birth in
ber next litter to three stump tailed kit
tens out of seven. The Manx cat is not
the only tailless variety. In the Crimea
is found knottier kind of cat which has
no tail. The domesticated Malay cat
has a tail that is only about one-half the '
twial length, and very often it is tied by j
nature in a sort ot knot which cannot be
straightened out. Interview in Wash

Tbe Color of the Itye.
The color uf the trie in not uniform in

sidered gray will often be composed of
black and yellow. An eye that is thought
to be brown will be very dark red, with
