When morning gloriea lit the gleaming wall; And one who watched her, holding he: pale hand.

W. Dodge Women are naturally afraid of rats. It is an established fact that woman who will fly right In the face of death by wearing tight corsets, thin-soled shoes, or otherwise violat ing the laws of nature and common sense, will scream at the top of her lungs, if she does not go off into con vulsions or a fit of hysterics, at the sight of a common sized rat. Mrs. H a rry Brown, being a woman, and withal an exceedingly pretty one, lhared the common terro r — indeed, ead rather more than her share of it. One night there was company at Mr. Harry Brown's, and when the family retired the hour was quite late. Mr. Brown, with m a n 's easy forgetfulness, soon slept the sleep of the just; but his wife tossed restless at his side, and longed in vain to imi tate his example. At len g th , however, she settled down, and was just dropping into a comfortable doze, when her attention was attracted by a faint sound, like the dripping of water upon some hard substance. W hat could it be? Mrs. Brown’s heart began to beat fast, but she raised upon her dimpled elbow and listened. Drip, drip, drip! Drip, drip, drip! Slowly and steadily the sound came through tile stillness. Something was evidently wrong. Mrs. Brown grasped her liege lord by the shoulder, and gave him a gen tle- shake. “Harry, H arry! wake up! Some- tiling is the m a tter!” Harry turned over, gave a rather unmusical grunt, and subsided again. Mrs. Brown repeated the shake. “Harry! H arry! I say! W ake up! wake up!\ Mr. Brown half opened his eyes, m d yielding to Mary's pushes, sat up In the bed. “Eh? W h a t’s up? W h a t's to pay, Mary?” he asked. “I don't know. Somebody getting in thei) house, or something. It sounds like w ater dropping.\ “Robbers getting in the house wouldn’t sound like w a ter drop ping,” said Mr, Brown. “ You're al ways getting scared at nothing.” “I'm not! And it is som e thing!” indignantly responded Mrs. Brown. ‘There! listen— don’t-you hear it?\ Mr. Brown listened, and did hear rery plainly. “It's the water-pipe. There's a 'eak som ewhere,” he presently de cided. “It has to be stopped, too.\ So he tumbled out of bed and started In pursuit. Mrs. Brown, not daring to be left tlone, got up, too, and followed him. And to protect her shoulders from the eight air, she caught up Mr. Brown's flresslng-gown, which hung on a lhair at the bedside, and threw it eround her. This dressing-gown was a very handsome affair, which Mrs. Mary, with wirely affection, had made and carefully ornamented with her own pretty Angers. At the waist she had' sewed a long silken cord, with soft, heavy tassels, and as her stature was something less than that of her tall nusband, when she walked these tas sels dragged on the floor at her bare (eet. The leak, being diligently sought for, was at length discovered in the bath-room, and proceeded from noth ing worse than one of the faucets of the water-pipe being left slightly open. Of course, it was only the work of a single Instant to turn the faucet and stop the leak, and having done this, Mr. Brown turned to renew his slum bers, followed by his devoted wife. But scarcely had Mrs. Brown taken a single step, when she set her little foot plump down upon one of the soft, yielding tassels of the dressing- gown, and Instantly the bathroom re sounded with a succession of piercing shrieks bursting upon the appalled ears of Mr. Brown, and freezing the blood in his veins. “Mary! Marry! what Is the m a tter?\ he cried, running to Mrs. Brown, who had fled in terror to the farthest cor ner of the bathroom. “Oh! It’s a rat! it's a rat, Harry! I stepped right on it! Oh, mercy- mercy! Do kill it, Mr. Brown! do kill it!\ “ Where! where *.s It! Show it to toe! I’U fix h im ! ” oravely cried Mr. Brown, citehing up a. stick which lay upon the window-sill, and brandish ing It above his head with a savage »lr. “Oh, he’s here! he's here! He s< followed me right Into the cojrner! Ok! look, Harry! look! Here It la!” Mr. Brcwn caught sight of the t z » sel, which, of course, moved with every active spring which Mrs. Brown made, and down upon It he made a furious descent. , Mrs. Brown jumped out of the way, and. of course, the rat jumped too. And then began a wild race around the bathroom —Mrs. Brown first the rat after her, and Mr. Brown after the rat, making desperate lunges at the fierce little anim al, without seem ing to hurt it. “ I declare, I never saw such a r a t ! ” he panted, breathlessly. “ I know I’ve hit it a dozen times, and it jum p s as lively as ever. Mary! Mary! jum p up into the bathtub! He can’t follow you there! Jum p , quick!\ Almost exhausted with her strug gles, poor Mary made a desperate a t tem p t to leap Into the bathtub, and succeeded in tum b ling safely Into it. B u t that wonderful rat did follow; and just as It went over the edge, Mr. Brown dropped his stick, and w ith frantic energy made a grab at it w ith his hands. And the next moment, firmly cling ing to his prisoner, Mr. Brown dropped himself on the floor; and such a roar of laughter as he broke into never shook the walls of th a t bathroom before. “ Oh! hold me! somebody! Hold me, or I shall b u r s t ! ” he yelled, r o ll ing on the floor in a paroxysm of m irth. \Here Mary, here’s your rat! Oh, my gracious, I know I shall burst! H e re’s your rat, look, he won’t hurt you!” And Mr. Brown held up the soft, silken tassel, which had been the cause of all their woes, to the astonished eyes of his wife. W ell! It was too bad, after all Mrs. Brown's fright, th a t there was no j rat in the case— though to this day she declares that there was one, and j th a t she first set her bare foot upon 1 a real, genuine rat, and, after he got away, she mistook the tassel for him. i She begged Mr. Brown not to tell the story, but it was too good for a fun-loving man to keep, so he often ! entertains his friends with the story of M ary’s terrible rat. n QUEENS USE TYPEWRITERS. It id reported that Queen Alexan- 3ra of England, Queen Maud of Nor way, the Czarina and the Queen of Portugal are all fond of using thd typewriter in corresponding with their intim ates. It is probable that kll of them put together do not use the machine as much as Carmen Sylva, the Queen of Roumanla, who rattles off her poems and stories on a typewriter. / f ---------- SNAKE OPAL LUCKY. A “snake opal” must be an inval uable possession. It Is the “lucky Btone” of the Mojave Indians, who aay it frightens away bad luck. The stone is n o t beautiful, but might ap peal to those who like “gem s” that are “different.” It Is said that the Indians never allow these stones to leave the tribe if they can help it, and will not part with one for any consideration. Tradition has made the stone one of good omen, but that counts for little, as tradition is gen erally hooted at in the present day, and wherever it raises its head other stones than snake opals are shied at It. Perhaps some superstitious bridge player, however, will try to get hold of a snake opal and try its effi cacy.— P ittsburg Dispatch. THE USEFULNESS OF ICEBERGS W hen an iceberg is launched upon its long journey its bottom parts are barnacled with sand, bowlders and other detritus gathered from the land surface over which it has made its tedious march to the sea. This bu r den it gradually easts off as it m elts while drifting down along our conti nental seaboard. As a result of the deposits thus made through countless centuries, combined with the products of erosion carried seaward by the rivers, the seabed for many miles off shore has been gradually filled up, creating those vast, submerged pla teaus known as- \ b a n k s,\ which ex tend from Labrador to the Bay of Fundy, and form the breeding grounds of Innumerable shoals of cod, herring and other valuable food fishes. In this way the bergs have performed an economic service of In calculable value, laying the founda tion for one of the world's most im portant productive industries, and af fording a means of livelihood to those hardy bands of \captains courageous\ who each year reap the harvests of the sea. The bergs serve a further economic purpose in that to their tem p ering influence are largely due the climatic conditions prevailing over a great part of the interior of N o rth America.— Alfred Sidney J o h n son, in The World To-day. REBUKES FOR RUDE WOMEN. Men often confess to deliberate plans for checking feminine rudeness. When women tread upon their heels and do not take the trouble to apol ogise, they pay them back in a sim ilar coin, adding a polite word of re gret m eant to teach them a lesson. When women refuse to lift trailing skirts men walk upon them regard less of damage, but w ith apologies which cannot be overlooked by any women with the least pretense of good breeding. A woman who at tem p ts to crowd into seating space th a t will not nearly accommodate her fares well enough with the women who are rendered m iserable, but is likely to remember the conduct of the men on either side of her. Nobody has the least sympathy for her; on the contrary there Is considerable de- coatumc ind the little details of her toilet, Not to shock her by turning Into ridicule her religious prejudices if they happen to be at variance with one’s own advanced Ideas. To Introduce to her one’s friends and enlist her sympathies In one’s projects, hopes and plans, th a t once again she may revive her own youth. If she be no longer able to take her accustomed parts In the household duties, never allow her to feel that she is superfluous or has lost her Im portance as the central factor of the home. To remember her life Is monoto nous as compared with one’s own, and to- talte her to places of amuse m ent or t&r an outing in the country as frequently as convenient. The girl who endeavors to repay In a slight m easure what she owes her m o ther will be most popular with those who are worth consideration, and, ten to one, her life will be a suc cessful one. SHALL WOMEN SMOKE? Is it wise for women to try and force a public acknowledgement of equality with men in such an insig nificant thing as public smoking? Of course, it is right for women who own property to be able to protect themselves as do men in the same po sition and to have a voice in the gov ernm e n t under which they live— If they want it. Those are big and seri ous affairs w o rthy the attention of dignified women. But to fight for the privilege of smoking in public or eating at restaurants where the man agem ent has seen fit to draw a line— with good reason, probably— is not consistent with dignity, cr, as one man put it, with self-respect. If women w a n t to smoke they should have the privilege, but not In public, because it is conspicuous and defies convention. On the same prin ciple that a drunken woman is a thou- sand times more repulsive than a man in the same condition a woman who flies In the face of convention is a noxious spectacle to delicately bred women and fastidious men.

The second subm arine flotilla, con sisting of the Octopus, Tarantula, Vi per and Cuttlefish, under command of Lieutenant Charles E. Courtney, has been smashing target records from twenty to fifty feet under the sea In Gardiner’s Bay. The nfcw p e ri scopes have been used to excellent advantage by the helmsmen, and the new additions, it is said, have ad vanced the value! of subm arines largely. Under the sea the submarines have been firing with W h itehead torpedoes at from 1000 to 1500 yards’ d istance against targets m ade of woven nets about sixty-five feet long. The sub m arines were run at full speed. W hen the submarines become attached to Commander M arsh’s training squad ron more extensive drills, with both night and day attacks, will be held.— Newport Dispatch to New York Times. CONVENTS NOW HOTELS. The French are nothing if not practical, and the French Church ap pears to have the genius of the na tion. In B rittany the nuns have clr- | cumvented the religious association act, and at the same tim e have met the economic problems resulting from disestablishm ent in the neatest man ner possible. They have turned their convents into hotels. The great re- cannot understand the desire of un- esejorted women to break down a rule which was probably made to keep out an objectionable feminine ele ment. They know that there are many places, very many where women alone or in crowds are warmly wel comed.— B oston Traveler. /hes - toW/ear Satin buttons are popular.

They have no prejudice against worldly distractions for the pension- naires, and not only perm it but en courage dancing, bridge and theatri cals.— New York Tribune. Coal and Prosperity. It has been computed that in 1840 the production and consumption of coal in the United States amounted to a quarter of a ton per head for the entire population; in 1860 the ratio had risen to half a ton per head; in 1880 it was one ton, and in 1890 five tons. As the population itself was increasing enormously all this tim e, the increase in the amount of coal produced and consumed was, of course, vastly greater than these ra tios per head would Indicate. The increase has gone hand in hand with the growth of m anufactures and in dustries— P h iladelphia Record. An Attractive Offer.

To remember she is still a girl at heart, so far as delicate little atten tions are concerned. To give her full confidence and avoid m eriting her disapproval.

Many farm ers say their children left them when they “came of age,\ and others admit that they have been unable to keep them until they were that old. Education, it was declared. In practically every case had produced the change, the determ ination to get Into another walk of life. Dozens of farm ers say their chief mistake was in not giving their boys a share in the returns, a chance to save a little money so that they might have some thing to start with when they were twenty-one. All these fathers had in mind, cer tainly, the fact that when they had left the scene of their labors the farm - would go to the boys. But this, it was just as certain, did not satisfy the boys. Twenty-two farm ers in four counties of Central Kansas ad mitted th a t they never allowed their sons to have any pocket-money, and that they had run away between the ages of fourteen and seventeen. Thir ty-three farm ers lived so far from towns, in fertile parts of Kansas and Oklahoma, that their families had no chance to go to church, the most ex citing diversion usually presented, ex cept about once a month when a cir cuit preacher came along with a doc trinal discussion or a theological ex position that promptly put them all to sleep. The mother of one family of fifteen had never had time to be lonesome, she said; never had time to read the magazines or the papers that were received regularly; never had time to do anything except work and take care of the babies and go to bed. 6he was always ready to go to bed, she said, and usually she was tired, especially In harvest time. ‘But I ’m not discontented,” she said.

Good Digestion Follows Right Food. Indigestion and the attendant dis comforts of mind and body are cer tain to follow continued use of impro per food. Those who are still young and ro bust are likely to overlook the fact that, as dropping water will wear a |tone away at last, so will the use of heavy, greasy, rich food finally cause lose of appetite and indigestion. Fortunately many are thoughtful enough to study themselves and note the principle of Cause and Effect in their daily food. A N. Y. young wom an writes her experience thus: “Some time ago 1 had a lot ot trou ble from indigestion, caused by too rich food. I got so I was unable to digest scarcely anything, and medi cines seemed useless. “A friend advised me to try Grape- Nuts food, praising It highly, and ai a last resort 1 tried it. 1 am thank ful to say that Grape-Nuts not only relieved me of my trouble, but built me up and strengthened my digestive organs so th a t I can now eat anything I desire.
