American Heiress The American father of tho heiress greeted tho count who was a suitor for uer hand with diguilied frigidity Sare said the count your dough ter has done me zo honualre of con senting to he my wife I am called to complete zo negotiations All right wearily said the father How much of a cash settlement do rou expect Nosslng sarc What now much will I have to pay for your poker debts Nosslng sare 1 do not gamble How much will I have to pay to rebuild your castle Nosslng sare It is in fine repair But there must be some expense for me Out with It No sare nosslng I simply love your daughter and she loves me and we wish to be married Is not zat enough Is it not enough to ask you to give me your daughter wizzout your expecting to Come to my arms exclaimed the American father and tried to fall upon the neck of the delighted count But he awoke on the floor having tumbled from his bed as a finish to his amazing dream Judge TO ENTER SOCIETY You must Have Treasure Tempera ment and Tact To enter paradise you had to be good and you had to be dead To enter society you do not have to be either On the contrary though what you do have to be is harder to tell than it is to get there But certaiu requisites may be mentioned These are treasure temperament and tact Treasure which is the basis of all scrumptlousness speaks for itself Temperament is more complex Tem perament is the art of holding your own on the subject of nothing at all with experts who have devoted their lives to the subject That is clearly abnormal Tact while less unnatural is more abstruse Tact is the ability to put your vibrations into harmony with those of others about you As pirants may be rich righteous and ready yet if they lack that ability whatever their efforts they are no where If they possess it then though they be nobodies they have only to choose where they want to go and get there generally speaking that is and provided they are not in a hurry Taste is very mercantile besides being unbecoming Edgar Saltus in Broad way Magazine A Memory Test A professor or mnemonics had gone to lecture at or near Canterbury After tho lecture was finished he had to wait for his London train It was a most comfortless day and he re tired to an inn for shelter and refresh ment To pass the time he began to exhibit his feats of memory to the yokels in the inn parlor and one and all were thunderstruck except the waiter There is always one skeptic in every communion whether of saints or sinners Do what he would he could not mitigate the acrid smile of acid incredulity of that glorified potman In the midst of one of his most difficult feats the whistle sound ed of the only train to London to night and he rushed off to catch it Lie caught it at the station and his reputation caught it in the inn parlor for the waiter coming in with some ordered refreshments and finding him gone pointed to the corner where he had been sitting and exclaimed Sil ly umbug hes forgot his umbrella The Rich Turkish Beggar Beggars are never suppressed in Tur key Tho story is told and they say it is true about an American lady who by mistake gave a beggar of Constantino ple a gold piece The man had left his post when she returned but one of his colleagues told her where he resided It was a fine house and at the door was a servant who politely informed the lady that my master is dressing He will be down soon And then the well groomed beggar dressed for din ner appeared and gladly returned the gold piece exclaiming in the mean while that such mistakes were highly embarrassing Charities and Com mons Force of Storm Waves The average storm wave is thirty feet in height The highest storm waves ever measured were between forty four and forty eight feet high The gigantic force of storm waves is shown by the fact that at Skerryvore lighthouse off the west coast of Scot land a mass of rock weighing five and a half tons was once hurled to a height of seventy two feet above the sea lev el while a mass weighing thirteen and a half tons was torn from a cliff seventy-four feet high Pall Mall Gazette Explained at Last The late Dr Morgan Dix said a clergyman of New York had a droil way of lightening grave subjects with little humorous asides Once I heard him addressing a graduating class at a medical school lie began in this way Thjsiologists tell us gentlemen that the older a man

Com ing Down in a Parachute THE AGONY OF A FIRST TRIP Experience and Sensations of an Ac robat Who Took the Place of a Pro fessional Aeronaut In an Emergency The Dash Through Space I once went up In a balloon and came down in a parachute Something went wrong and all the money In the world doubled would not induce me to make the experiment again One grows strangely accustomed to dangers as an acrobat and when It was suggested that I should earn 23 in as many minutes by taking the place of a parachutist who had fallen ill at tho last minute I jumped at the chance It was at a large country fair The laughing crowd had probably never seen a balloon go up As the great silk bag gradually swelled a silence fell upon the onlookers The sick parachutists manager pat ted me on the back and said it was money easily earned I agreed then Keep cool he said and whatever you do dont look down except to judge your distance from the earth You see that tower It is about a thousand yards away When you are that distance up pull the check string and shut your eyes A dull murmur rose as the ropes were cast off and I felt my feet leave the ground The upward movement was gentle and a great cheer came up to me until the band drowned it I hardly heard the cheering or the band The involuntary murmur still rang in my ears Perhaps my nerves were upset possibly it was intuition but from the moment I was drawn up from the ground I felt the conviction that grim trouble lay ahead Ignoring the oft repeated instruc tions I looked down IIow slowly the balloon went up Could it be possible that I had not gone more than a hun dred yards The giant overhead be came a living thing intent on tortur ing the puny mortal who had trusted his life to it I knew I dared not leap before I was high enough for the par achute takes 100 feet sometimes to open I shut my eyes and tried to count to kill time but the figures became jum bled and I looked down again A swallow skimmed past underneath Far below there was a sea of upturned faces and the music floated up dis tinctly The balloon seemed to have stopped rising and for an eternity I tried to gauge the height Again the band stopped and I was in a silent world The crowd of breathless specks far beneath was get ting full value for its money The only noise I heard was the beating of the blood through my hnd I was afraid It was the first real fear I had ever felt in my work When the supreme moment came I pulled the string without realizing what I was doing What years I lived In those next few seconds An appalling nausea and a wild desire to live came with the first terrible rush and my heart stood still as I looked eagerly aloft The ropes of the parachute had twisted and I was falling to instant death Grasping the ropes in a clutch of steel I shook them frantically Half the huge parachute bellied out with a noise like a pistol shot and the speed of the fall was lessened with a jar Again I shook the death trap The ropes were sliding at a snails pace and bit by bit the parachute was open ing Still I fell far too fast I could not breathe and my hands seemed to be refusing to hold on Bang The last fold had opened out and I was saved Dizzy and numb with fear I held on tightly wonder ing whether I should faint before I touched the ground That and that only was my thought as I sailed through the space I had almost lost consciousness when my feet touched the ground gently And then I col lapsed Buffalo Times A Drawback My exclaimed little Billy as he gazed at the lithograph Id like to be a giraffe Just think how easily you could rubber over the baseball fence Thats all right replied Tommy but there is another time when you wouldnt want to have a neck like a giraffe When is that Why in the mornings when your ma begins to scrub
