The late Dr. Masters, who was for
merly a missionary In Canton, China,
afterward lived In Herkeley, Oil. His
friend and fellow missionary, Dr.
Boone, returning on furlough, was ex
pected to arrive In San Francisco on
a certain day. Dr. Masters crossed the
bay to tho city; ho meant to meet Dr.
Boone and his party, and. after spend
Ing the day in sightseeing, to take
them to dinner at a well known restau
rant The steamer, however, hnd reached
port earlier than had been expected,
and when Dr. Masters got to the dock,
his friends had left. He made in
quiries at the principal hotels, but
could not tlnd them. In order to notify
hta family In Berkeley of tho neces
sary change in plans, Dr. Masters sent
them a telegram. Here Is tho some
what damaged message that Mrs.
Masters llnally read:
"Can't find the bones. Will come
homo to dinner." Youth's Companion

Dogs, probably the earliest of do
mesticated animals, when transferred
to a tropical country, such as central
Africa, lose In a few generations most
of tin' i huraeterlstles they have ac
quired in Europe, and revert more and
more to the type of the Jackal and the
wolf. Then their ears, whatever their
breed, tend to become pointed, their
coats turn sandy or rufous and their
bark becomes a howl. Some nttempt
has been made to show that this Is
tho result of disease and resembles
tho effect of malaria on the human
constitution. Yet tho Egyptian dog of
pharnonlc times possessed, ns Is seen
by tho monuments, theso very char
acteristics, and as ho was certainly
domesticated before tho European ani
mal It Is probable that these are orig
inal features of the race. Now York

Straw For Hats.
The greater part of the Htrnw cm
ployed for making summer hats comes
H'uki Italy. To obtain suitable straw
fo this purpose the wheat Is sown us
thvlcly as possible tn order that the
itrowlh of the plant may bo Impover
ished as well as to produce a thin
stalk.
Tho Italian wheal blooms at the be
ginning of June and Is pulled up by
the roots when the grain Is half de
veloped. Should It be allowed to re
main In the ground a longer time tho
straw would becoino too brittle for Its
purpose
Uprooted straws to the nunibor of
about five dozen, the size of the com
pass of the two hands, are firmly tied
together In little sheaves and stowed
away In barns. After that the straw
Is again spread out to catch the heavy
summer dews and to bleach In the sun

Too Much of a Broakfast.
Even Peacock's generous Ideas of
suitable provisions for a breakfast
were surpassed by a London host who
entertained J. I.. Motley. Aug. It, 1807,
Motley writes to hta daughter: "I went
to the last breakfast of I ho season of
the I'hlloblbloii society, given by Mr.
Turner, a collector of rare books. Be
ginning with coffee and tea, we ended
with sherry, champagne and maraschi

In regular order. If you asked mo
what I did I can only say I opened

I relloeted that all those people would

Looking Down From High Places.
Why do you feel giddy when you
look down from the top of tho house
or even from the upstairs porch? Just
because It's so high, eh? That's true,
but It's only half the answer. You
know, of course, that your power to
keep your balance on your feet de
pends largely on your vision or sight.
When you walk In tho dark you stum
ble and bump against things because
you are not used to walking without
seeing. It's the same when you are
away up above tho ground and cannot
see familiar things In their familiar
places. Your eyes piny you tricks,
you seem to lose your bnlance, and
your head feels giddy and your steps
are uncertain. If you practice long
enough you can learn to walk without
seeing, but until you have learned that
lesson bo careful when you climb to
high plnces. Wisconsin State Journal.
Scott Liked Work Pressure.
Scott, who was poet, novelist, law
yer, too, would have been greatest of
all as Journalist. Listen to this from
hta Journnl for Feb. 15, 1820: "Yester
day 1 did not wrlto a lino of 'Wood
stock.' Partly, I was a llttlo out of
spirits. Partly, I wanted to
wait for some new ldens.
Partly, I was a llttlo too far beyond
tho press. I cannot pull well In long
traces, when tho draft ta too far be
hind me. I love to have the press
thumping, clattering nnd bnnglng In
my rear. It creates tho necessity
which almost makes me work best
Needs must when tho devil drives."
Thcro Is tho very spirit of Jour

easily take It for a coal hole if coal

ever one finds a revolving clr-ular
box Ih tiled Into three compartments.

nut! u to picture the drama that has

A woman, hw head covered with a
black shawl, her arms holding a bun

narrow street. She reaches the little
door Glancing furtively about to see
that no one Is looking alio opens the
door nnd, shaken by stilled sobs, kisses
for the lost time tho baby she Is about
to renounce. She places the child In
the circular box, gives It a turn and

Forco of Habit.
A humorist was looking over n mill,
and while In an unguarded moment ho
was perpetrating ono of hta Jokes upon
nn Innocent operative he was drawn
Into some ponderous gearing and badly
crushed.
They extricated liltti from the ma
chinery and laid him on the iloor.
"Who Is it? Who is it?" was the
anxious Inquiry as a crowd collected.
Nobody knew.
Then the funny man suddenly open
ed his eyes and strove to speak. A
sympathetic bystander bent down to
catch hta words.
"There's good reason why nobody
recognizes me," ho whispered pain
fully. "What Is it?" asked the sympathetic
one.
"Because," the humorist explained as
ho saw a chance to get ono home, "It's
because I've been traveling Incog."
That was his llnal effort, for he nev

"Towel" of Hot Air.
n hotel, factory and public lava
tories, where roller towels should not
bo used because of tho danger of
spreading skin disease and where the
expense of furnishing individual paper
or cloth towels Is considerable, the
electric hand drier may bo used eco
nomically anil satisfactorily. A sani
tary hand drier described In the Elec
trical World consists of a sheet met
al case with an opening In Its top In
which the hands can bo Inserted and
dried by a current of hot air. A foot
pedal operates a quick acting switch
which starts a blower, forcing air
through the electric heater. The hand
drier Is, of course, absolutely sanltnry,
as it Is unnecessary to touch any part
of the apparatus when using It. The
hands can bo thoroughly dried, It Is
declared, In from thirty to forty sec
onds, which Is less time thnn Is re
quired to perform the same operation
with a linen or paper towel.
Associations.
All experience evinces that human
sentlnfcnts are strongly nffected by as
sociations. The recurrence of anniver
saries or of longer periods of time nat
urally freshens the recollection nnd
deepens tho Impression of events with
which they are historically connected.
Renowned places also have a power to
awaken feeling which all acknowledge.
No American can pass by tho Holds of
Bunker Hill, Monmouth nnd Camden
ns If they wero ordinary spots on tho
earth's surface. Whoever visits them
feels the sentiment of lovo of country
kindling anew, as if tho spirit that be
longed to tho transactions which have
rendered these plnces distinguished still
hovered round with power to move nnd
cxclto all who in future timo may ap
proach them. Dnnlcl Webster.

Why Roquefort Is Strong,
Uoquefort cheese gets its sharp llavor
from enproic, enpryllc and enpric acids
and their salts, which are formed by a
sort of hydrolysis of tho fat during

caused by u microbe called Penlcllllum

"Can tho diamond bo destroyed by In

Yes. Any substance known can be
vaporized In the tierce heat, of tho elec
trie furnace. The word "destroyed"
should not have boon used. Diamond Is
chemically pure carbon thnt Is, lamp

Ists nfter the diamond has vanished.
Man Is now ablo to destroy tho form of
nil matter known to chemists that Is,
tnntter disappears as mntter, only to
resolve back Into Its primordial elec
trons. These are pure electricity, and
nothing else exists. These man cannot
create nor destroy. All that any hu
man can create is a thought that had
not been created before. But thta is a
theory, for all thoughts may lie eternal.
