their parlor tables. Accordingly the
good gentleman's wife, architect and
furnisher have impressed upon .him the
necessity of not spoiling the penect
Athenian atmosphere of the apartment
by the introauction of nn-Athenian fea
tures such as literature. In its zeal for
complete harmony the powerful trium
virate has not yet issued an order for
bidding the master cf the house to enter
his drawing room except -when clad in
the Greek chlamys, but that is because
even architects, furnishers and wives do
not dare to be wholly consistent. 3Iean

his Gothic library and thinks how in
appropriate it is to read Dickens under
a mediffival arched ceiling and "by the
light from a cathedral glass "window.

themselves completely uncomfortable

of a French king of unhallowed mem

furnish her room with the most perfect
consistency if she herself must always
be an inharmonious note in it? "Why
should the lover of good roast beef and
large, inviting armchairs have to wan

straight, harp backed chairs of colonial
days, when repose -was frowned upon
and roast beef was none too plenty?
After all one must live more or less
at home, even if one has money in
abundance. And why should home be a
succession of rooms furnished after mod

ATOMS OF ELECTRICITY.
Calculation That Seems Incomprehensible
to the Average Intelligence.
Have you any idea what "an atom of
electricity" would look, feel, taste or
Email like? In short, have you. a mind
that is capable of imagining what such
an infinitesimal division of the iuccm
preheugible fiuid" would be? "We think
not. The writer has spent his life "delv
ing in the realms of the wonderful, "
yet he is free to confess that he has no
more of an idea what an atom of elec
tricity would he than he has of what is
to be understood by the words "soul"
and "eternity." But there are those
who have heen spending hours, days and
weeks exploring and investigating in the
bottomless ocean of electrical mysteries,
and who have arrived at some startling
conclusions. That such, a thing as ' 'an
atom of electricity" exists has been be
lieved in by a number of eminent elec
tricians and philosophers, among them
the honored fielmholtz and our own
Thomas A. Edison.
"Working on the theories- advanced by
the former, Professor Bicharz, a well
known European investigatcr, has made
some experiments in that line that have
startled even the electricians men who
come in daily contactrwith things cf the
most wonderful nature. According to a
recent determination of Professor Kich
arz, the smallest possible quantity of
electricity that which may properly be
termed "an atom" is such that 430
multiplied by 1,000,000 three times

A IAIET TALE.
A fisherman was living in a humble
cabin with his wife Stora. One day aft- j
ernaving uselessly spent several hours
on the river bant he suddenly pulled
from the water an immense fish with
gold scales and a gold crown on its
head.
"Ah!" cried he. "Here's a fine catch.
I will take it to the king. He will cer
tainly pay me generously for it. " But
the fish said: "Give me my liberty. I
am an enchanted prince and can accom
plish any wish you may express."
"All right," good naturedly replied
the fisherman. "This is the first time I
have ever heard a fish talk, and that in
itself is proof of your claim. "
Dropping the fish into the water, he
returned to his cabin to tell the adven
ture to his wife. " What 1" cried she.'
' 'And from that fish, who no doubt has
the power of a fairy, you demanded
nothing?"
"5To," said the fisherman. It did
not occur to me. Anyway, what could I
have asked for?' '
"What!" she exclaimed. ""When we
are here in a miserable cabin! Ton
might at least have asked for a cottage!
Go back. He is under obligations to
you. Ton saved his life. He can refuse
you nothing. ' '
The meek and humble fisherman "was
not at all anxious to make the attempt,
but finally giving way to his wife's de
termination he went to the water's
edge and called: "Pish of gold! Eoyal
fish!"
"Why do yon call me?" asked the
fish.
"Alas, " replied the timid fisherman,
"I am obeying my wife, who does not
always think as I do."
"And what does she wish at present?"
said the fish kindly.
"Ah, " he replied, sadly, "she is not
satisfied with our small cabin and wishes
a larger one."
"Very welL Return home and you
will find your wish accomplished."
In fact, m place of the miserable
cabin was a beautiful cottage. Stora
was sitting radiantly happy on a bench
in front of the door. Taking her hus
band by the hand, she said, "Just come
and see how beautiful it is!" There was
a bedroom, with a comfortable bed, a
kitchen with, a complete assortment of
cooking utensils, and near by a low
court, from which came the cackle of
geese and chickens. Then followed a
garden full of vegetables and an orchard
of fruit trees. "Is it not charming?'
cried Stora.
"Yes, indeed," replied the astonished
fisherman, and both heartily rejoiced in
their gocd fortune. Fifteen days later
Stora said to her husband: ' 'I have been
thinking that we were too modest in
aking our wishes known. This cottage j
is too small, and there is not a single
field joined to the garden. I should like
to have a beautiful country residence. "
"What folly!" cried her husband.
aence.
"Hake yourself easy. I know well of
what benefit it would be to us. You
have nothing to do hut to again see your
friend, the golden fish."
The poor fisherman, not being able to
resist, went out with bowed head.
Why do you call me?" cried the
crowned fish.
"Alas," replied the fisherman, "I
come in obedience to my wife, whose
wishes are not always in accord with
mine."
""What does she want now?"
' 'She thinks she would like a beauti
ful countrv residence. "
1 'All right Your wish is accomplish
ed."
The fisherman, thanking him, turned
homeward. To his surprise, he found
before him a large house with court,
granaries and stables. His wife, waiting
for him in her loveliest Sunday dress,
ed him into their new home. Here was
the master's room and there a large one
for the servants. Trip chimney was full
of hflTng. .Not far off was the milkhouse
and near by a granary full of wheat. In
the stable were many beautiful cows.
There was a pigeon house on the roof of
the shed, which was well filled with fat
sheep, and a couple of storks were on
the chimney. Around the house were
gardens, fields and prairies. 'Is this
not a delightful place?" enthusiastically
mquired Stora.
"Yes," replied the fisherman. "See
that we live here in peace. "
A few days passed, when one morning
Stora said to her husband: "It is indeed
a good thing to have a country house
like this, bat we can do better. We ran
have a chateau and live as nobles do. j

itself." '
"2To, indeed." said the fisherman.
"Certainly not. I will not make this ad
ditional demand of him. He would be
angry, and he would have good cause."
"Oh, I beg of you," implored his
wife, "go to him again. He will refuse
you nothing. I cannot live in this farm
house. If I stay here, I shall be ilL If I
have not a chateau, I shall die. "
The apprehensive fjgnprm.Tn again
obeyed, and the fish said to him, "Go.
Xour new wish is granted." j
"When he returned home, what a won
derful change awaited him! in place of
bis rustic bouse he found a beautiful
chateau with flag waving on the top of
its lofty tower. A wide moat surround
ed the high walls inclosing the domain,
and on its drawbridge stood Stora in a
silk gown with a gold chain about iex
neck. TVHg bpr 'hnsbgTirl by tha bnnd,
she led him into their apartment En
teriuir the lame door, they nassed from
room to room completely and beautiful

court stood a carriage with two beauti
ful horses, a coachman on the seat and
a footman up behind. 2Tear by "was a
garden full of flowers, a conservatory
and an aviary.
"Ah, " said Stora, with an air of tri
umph, "what do you think cf all this?
Is this not better than a country house?
Are you not content?"
"Yes," replied the fisherman, "hut
for the love of all that's good, letus stay
here."
A few days later Stora remarked to
her husband: "I was on the tower to
day and was astonished and grieved to
find how little land wo have. It is not
enough that yon should be a lord. You
must have a kingdom. You must he
king."
"What extravagance!" cried the fish
erman. "ITever, never will I permit it."
"If you do not wish to be king," re
plied Stora in a resolute tone, "I never
theless am determined to be queen, and
I desire you to go and explain my wish
to the friend, who is under so many ob
ligations to you, to the powerful magi
cian." "JTo, indeed, " reiterated the fisher
man. ie nas already peen wonaertuuy
generous with us. I do not wish to irri
tate flTirt tire him."
But the ambitious Stora insisted, beg
I ged and threatened and the poor fisher
man again gave way to her inflexible
wilL The fish looked upon him in pity,
saying sadly, "This time also the wish
of your wife is granted. "
In place of the lordly chateau there
was a grand palace with a magnificent
facade and lour imposing towers. A
marble stairway covered with rich car
pet led to the first floor, to the reception
room where the ministers, generals and
courtiers were congregated and where
Stora sat on a golden throne, an ermine
mantle about her and a crown of dia
monds on her head.
"Finally," said she enthusiastically
to her husband, "here is a burst of for
tune, here is power, here is happiness!
There is nothing more I could wish. ' '
"God be praised," he fervently re
plied A few moments later, with a grave
air, she took him by the hand, drawing
hrrn into the embrasure of a window
that she might talk to him unobserved,
and said to him, "I am well satisfied
that I am a queen, am contented with
the respect cf my ministers and the
tranquillity cfmy subjects, but some
times the sunrises too late; sometimes
the moon is too late, and sometimes the
wind whistles and blows in a m firmer
that inconveniences me greatly. I wish
to govern them according to my pleas
ure. The fairy fish can refuse you noth
ing. He must grant me this one addi
tional favor. It will be the last."
The peaceful fisherman was stupefied.
He could not believe she spoke seriously.
But when she, in a resolute manner,
repeated her demand he declared he
would never take part in any such in
sanity. But, alas, the poor man had not the
courage to resist the headstrong will of
his companion. After violent protesta
tions he again acquiesced.
He went in fear and trembling to per
form his strange mission. This time the
fish, regardedhim coldly and said to frim
in a formidable voice: i
"This is enough. Your wife is insane, '
and you are an imbecile. You will no
longer have either chateau or lands. In
pity I will give you back your ancient
cottage. You deserve no more. "
As the fairy fish disappeared beneath
the waters the fisherman turned home
ward with bowed head to find his wife
dressed in wrenched rags and sitting
upon the dcorsill of their old cabin, la
menting their lost wealth. Translated

Instead of exercise the scorcher invites

'Popular Corsage Decorations.
It has been the habit to laugh at the
Johnny with his enormous chrysanthe
mum. 2ibw the women are taking to
the big Cower, although not necessarily
a chrysanthemum. To be up to date the
feminine corsage must be decorated
with a flower of tremendous proportions
a poppy, a wild rose, a lily or a sin
gle dahlia. Any of these flowers will
do, but the blossom must be as big as it
can be got.
The idea is a great deal like the sun
flower craze of 10 or 15 years ago, when
the emblem of jesthericism was worn
by everybody. It is true that the sun
flower was not so handsome as some of
the flowers that are popular now, so that
the woman of today is better than
she was when everything was "pre
cious" and angularity was regarded as
the outward significance of inward cul
ture. The single blossom must be fas
tened in the middle of the corsage, and
if the woman has some difficulty in see
ing over the top of it, so much the more
stylish she. Kew York Press.

Tti! pn Children.
Although Indian children have their
games and good times as well as their
mare civilized brothers and sisters, they
also have much hard work to do and are
taught to help their poor tired mothers
almost as soon as they learn to walk.
One of the principal duties of Indian
children is that cf supplying their camp
or village with water. These camps are
always near a river or stream, for of
course wandering tribes of Indians can
not have wells or cisterns, and from the
river the children must carry up to the
ledges all the water used in cooking.
In this work they call to their aid
their playmates, the dogs, always plen
tiful in Indian villages. To the collars
of the dogs are fastened two long, light
poles, one on each side, that drag on the
ground some distance behind them. On
these poles, about half way to the
ground, is fixed the kettle or earthen jar
that is to be filled with water, and then
the dogs are driven down to the river.
Some of the larger boys have ponies,
to which they attach heavier poles in
the same way that the light ones are
fastened to the dogs, and on which they
can carry as much as a barrel of water
at a time.
At the river side the children have
great fun while filling their various jars
and kettles. They duck and splash each
other, run, scream, laugh and often for
get entirely that the village is waiting
for its daily supply of water, until the
shrill voice of some squaw mother warns
them that they are neglecting their duty,
and if they do not attend to it at once
they will have to suffer the
quences. Detroit Free Press.

The Art of Studying.
A girl who entered the manual train
ing school two months ago complains of
the lessons she has to learn so many
pages of one study and so many of an
other. Just think of it! The actual num
ber certainly appeared formidable, but
an investigation would no doubt prove
that what she really had to learn was a
lesson of fair length. The secret of study
in the higher branches is to read the
pages assigned slowly and carefully,
making mental note of or marking if
you dare not trust your memory those
parts which you feel need to be learned
by heart You will be astonished at the
shortness of the list One reading will
fix the incidents of ten pages of history
well in mind. The dates and names
would not fill half a page. The same is
true of spelling. Suppose your teacher
gives you two or three pages from
' 'Evangeline" or a history or geography.
The way to learn the lesson is to select
the wards which have silent or double
letters, those involving ei or ie. Learn
that list and you will have accomplished
what your teacher intended you to da

Mr. G.-Caillouette, Druggist, Beavers
vffle EL, says: "To Dr. King-'s New
Discovery I owe my life. "Was taken
with Ia grippe and tried all the physi
cians for miles ahout, but of no avail
and was given up and told I could not
live. Having Dr. King's New Discovery
in my store I sent for a bottle and be
gan its use and from the first dose be
gan to get bttter, and after using three '
j bottles was up and about again. It is
. worth its weight in gold. "We wont keep
j store or house without it." Get a free
I trial at A. F. Steitzls drug store.
