KNITTING IN PARLIAMENT.
Not So Mnnr Ye urn Abo Men Did tho
Knlttlur For Scotland.
Quito n thrill of surprise was caused
by n Scottish member of rmrllnmcnt
who was recently observed calmly
knitting a stocking while wn'.Ung In
the smoking room of the house of com
nioiiB. At the Present day tho sight of
n nmn plying the knitting needles Is n
novel one, though In the remoter parts
of Scotland it is not nt nil uncommon.
Loss thnn hnlf n century ngo, how-,
rver, the greater part of tho stockings
worn wore knitted by tho men folk,
tho women conllnlng their nttcntion
more or less to spinning.
Tho Bhepherd starting out nt the
bronlc of day to his duties on tho hill
would its soon lmvo forgotten bis lunch
of oaten cakes und barley bannocks na
his knitting needles and wool. As ho
trudged through the heather on his
visit to each part of his wldo scatter
ed flock or directed from n conven
ient height the rounding up efforts of
IiIh faithful collto his tlrolc&n fingers
piled their task.
Even tho well to do farmer hb ho
chatted with u friend of markets and
"nowt" (cattle) could HI bear to seo
tho minutes wasted, and the "click
click" of his needles bore witness to
his diligence.
Such ludustry seems strango to the
present day mind, but what clso had
they to occupy their minds and time?
Newspapers, ns wo know them now.'
thcro were absolutely none. Once ft
week or less frequently n small local
sheet would clrculato among the well
to do homes. .
As for books, theso were often lim
ited to the Bible nnd "Tho Pilgrim's
Progress." Of gnmes thcro word but
few, and for tho most part these were
not encouraged. Homo Clint.
A WAY OF ESCAPE.
JnltCTrnr. the Widow Damtovr and
the I'rpaclter'n Text.
"Talking about widows," said tho
man with tho stogy, "did I ever tell
you nbout Jakeway nnd tho Widow
Barstow?"
Now, thero hadn't been a word 6ald
about widows, but one of the party re
plied, "No, sir; you nover did."
"Well," said tho man with tho stogy,
"Jakoway was n character, ono of thoso
you read nbout. Ilc'd lived alone for
years. When ho was a young man, ho
had been disappointed In lovo or some
thing, nnd from that time he'd been
Bour a rog'lnr woman hater and tho
particular object of his dislike was the
Widow Barstow, aggressive from her
head to her heels. Tho very night of
her to old Jakeway was like the wav
ing of a red flag to a bull.
"They useter go to the same church,
but the ushers knew the situation well
enough to put a goodly portion of tho
sanctuary between them. Unfortunate
ly on one Sunday there was a new
usher.' Tho opening service was well
under way, and Jakeway was in a pew
by himself well down toward the front,
when down the aisle came the now
usher with the widow tailing along In
his wake, and ho handed her into Jake
way's pew.
"The old man gavo ono look as tho
figuro rustled In; then be gathered up
his umbrella, bis hat, his bandana and
his prayer book and cleared the back
of the pew In frout with the agility of
u boy, and just as he landed on the
front Beat tho preacher gave out bis
text:
" 'Thcro hath no evil befallen you
such us is common to man but God
will with the temptation also make a
way of escape.' "New York Mail nnd
Express.
Tho Table Napkin.
Curiously enough, that article now
considered almost Indispensable, tho
table napkin, was first used ouly by
children nnd was adopted by elder
members of the family aboqt tho mid
dlo of tho fifteenth century. In eti
quette books of an earlier dato than
this among other Bage pieces of advico
for children aro instructions about will
ing their fingers and Mps with their
napkins.
It seems that the tablecloth was long
enough to reach the floor and served
tho grown pcbplo In place of napkins.
When they did begin to use napkins,
they placed them first on the shoulder,
then on tho left arm and finally tied
them nbout tho neck.
A Faraoua Compliment.
Of famous compliments paid to the
fair bcx tho supply is so largo and daz
zling that it is a matter of no small
difficulty to pick out the brightest
gems, but If the following was un
looked for It certainly deserves a place
among the best: Kontenelle when nine
ty years old passed before Mine. Hel
vetius without perceiving her.
"Ah," said tho lady, "that is your
gallantry, then! To pass before me
Without ever looking at me!"
"If I had looked at you, madame," re
plied the old beau, "I never could have
passed you at all."
A Chance For Iltsa.
"I am afraid," said the high browed
bard, "that my poetry will never at
tract public attention."
"Cheer up!" said the loyal compan
ion. "Maybe you'll get appointed to
office ono of these days, and then ev
erybody will talk about your poetry."

THE KING SNAKE.
ne I the Deadly Bncmr of Ererr
I'olnonnaa Ileptlle.
Of all kind provisions of nature per
Imps the manner in which snakes aro
brought into tho world Is tho Lnost ro
markablc. As n rule all harmless
snakes nre hatched from eggr, arriv
ing In batches of from thirty to eighty;
Tho poisonous snakes, on tho other
hand, aro born In litters of from seven
to eleven In number. Tlioro nro ex
ceptions to tho rule, of course, but
thoy nro few nnd unimportant, for,
though tho deadly king cobra lays her
eggs to bo hntched by tho sun, they
arc fow In number, unlike the colonics
deposited by the harmless snakes.
Chief among the enemies of the
Btiakoa are the reptiles themselves.
Cannibalism Is general among the crea
tures, tho smaller snake serving as
food to tho larger one. Hut chlqf of nil
snakes that hunt their own kind for
tho pleasure of slaughter Is the long,
slender king snake, n constrictor by
habit nnd a Hash In his movinontft.
Among all reptiles the king suako'
nlonu may truly bo snld to be tho
friend of man. lie Is found through
out the wholo south, where the rattler
nnd moccasin abound, sunning himself
nnd preying for slaughter. Picked up
by human hand, the reptile Hcemft
pleased with tho touch. IIo makes
no effort to escape, but twines about
his captor's arm nnd makes himself
comfortable.
To tho rattlesnake and to every oth
er dangerous snake, largo or small,
tho king snake is n terror. Tho poison
of n rattler has no more effect on him
than so much moonshine. Instinctive
ly tho rattler, knows his match and at
sight of a king snake tries to escape,
If possible. In fight tho king snnko re
lics wholly upon his Incredible speed.
If tho movements of nn ordinary snake
scorn quick to tho humnn eye, tho
movements of a king snake would
seem Instantaneous. In n twinkle the
long, lank fellow has wound himself
nbout tho throat of nn antagonist nnd,
his sinewy colls closing about the oth
er's throat, chokes tho wind out of
hlra. Now York Times.
MAIL CARRIERS' CAR FARE.
Companies Are Paid a Lump Sura by
the Government.
"Most people who spend $25 a year
for car fare consider thnt they aro con
tributing liberally toward the dividends
of the compnny," remarked a postal
clerk, "but Uncle Sam spcndB nearly
$250,000 n year for the transportation
of carriers in street cars in tho different
free delivery cities.
"For Instance, including substitutes,
there nro 275 carriers In Washington.
You may have observed that carriers,
when riding on tho surface roads, do
not pay fare? cither with tickets or in
cash. Tho free delivery system allots
tho Washington city postotllco nn an
nual allowance of $4,000 to be used ex
cluslvely for tho car fare of letter car
riers. The postmaster 1b authorized to
mako a contract with the companies to
transport all carriers while on duty for
n lump sum, which he does. The. car
rier must have his pouch with him,
which is a sign manual to tho conduct
or that he is on duty, the mere wear
ing of his uniform being Insufficient.
"This rule obtains in somo cities,
while In others special tickets arc sold
at special rotes to be used only by car
riers, or the cash is handed direct to
the carrier for a certain number ot
daily trips, depending upon the prac
tice. Thus, while Washington receives
$4,000, Chicago gets $20,000 for letter
carriers' car fare because of Its largo
territorial extent and distance between
stations on the prairie, oftentimes ne
cessitating a double faro by the cur
rier. Boston is allowed $13,500 and
New York nnd Philadelphia about $10,
000 each. Few people know that tho
government expends such a large sunt
yearly for such n trivial cause."
Washington Post.
A Very Old rtnle.
The oldest mathematic book in the
world Is believed to be tho "Papyrus
Ilhlnd" in tho British museum, pro
fessed to have been written by Ahmcs,
a scribe of King Ila-a-us, about tho pe
riod between 2000 and 1700 B. O. This
"Papyrus Rhlnd" was translated by
ElBcnlohr of Lelpsle. and it was found
to contain n rulo for making a square
equal In area to a given circle. It was
not put forth as an original discovery,
but as the transcript of a treatise 500
years older still, which Bends us back
to, approximately, 2500 B. 0 when
Egyptian mathematicians solved, or
thought they had solved, the problem
of squaring the circle.
Proved Her Claim.
"I wanted to show," she said, "that
woman is maligned, that brevity is
quite as much her attribute as it Is
man'-s, and so when be proposed I had
to say 'Yes.' "
"You might have Bald 'No,' " It was
suggested.
"Not at all." she protested. "When
you say 'No,' you have to explain why
you say It and tell bow sorry you are,
and it would have spoiled everything."
