MOST PERFECT MADE.

40 YEARS THE STANDARD.
Sniffles Handed the Parson a Clear and
Then There If as 1 rouble.
The clerks in the office were always
on the alert to play some joke on
Sniffles, the junior bookkeeper, and
the strangest part of it was that they
always managed to catch him un
awares.
The other day the clerks loaded a
tempting-looking cigar with an ap
parently harmless explosive. It was
graciously offered to Sniffles, who ac
cepted it with -profuse thanks, saying
he would smoke it after dinner that
evening.
It so happened that that very even
ing Sniffles’ wife, who is a very relig- *
ious woman, had invited the minister
to dinner. The minister loved good
cigars, and Sniffles, knowing this,
proudly asked him to have a cigar
and unselfishly and innocently handed
him the one which ho had received
that afternoon from the clerks in the
office.
Suddenly there was a report, the
minister fairly howled with terror,
and the air was filled with smoke.
Sniffles and his wife were surprised
and shocked beyond expression.
“Heavens!” muttered Sniffles, “that’s
the work of those d’—n clerks again."
The minister’s face was red with
rage. Half of his beautiful side
whiskers had been singed and he
looked a sight. He gave one terrible
glance at Sniffles, then took his hat
and departed. - /
That night there was war in
Sniffles’ house. His wife recused him
of having loaded the cigar on purpose
in order to drive the minister away.'
All his explanations were in vain, ancL
now Sniffles and his wife have ceased
to speak.
The * clerks are still wondering
whether Sniffles smoked that cigar,
but he is so silent about the matter
that they can’t get anything out of
him.
A WOMAN’S INGRATITUDE.
Hat the Young Han Will Never Again
Stop Her Runaway Horae.
The depths of human ingratitude
have not yet been fathomed. Such,
at least is the opinion of a young man
who exerted himself far beyond his
usual wont a few weeks since m an
effort to confer a favor upon some un
known individual, and who reaped,
as the fruit of his labors, only fault
finding and personal loss. A valua
ble team of horses had run away and
the young man referred to found
them at a late hour stiffening with
the cold and dragging the remains of
a handsome harness. He tied the
horses near by and was going
to notify the policeman on the beat,
when the horses broke loose and
would have started down into the
railroad tracks in the vicinity had he
not stopped them. He took them to
his home, a distance of over a mile,
and stabled them for the night, and
the next day paid for an ‘ ‘ad” in the
want columns of the local paper in
order to find their owner. What was
his chagrin when he learned that the
owner of the team h ad secured pos
session of her property through the
aid of the police department, to whom
she had said some very uncomplimen
tary things about the officious party
who had taken possession of her nags.
Injury was added to insult when he
went to the lady’s house to reimburse
himself for the expense of the adver
tising, for he was informed by the
owner that she was under no obliga
tions to him, as her horses had not
been properly cared for and had been
without their breakfast.
the office boy.
He Didn’t Do Much Now, But He Would
Have no Imitator.
The office boy sat on a high stool
swinging his feet and jabbing a pen
in a blotting pad, while a .visitor, to
see his employer, sat over by the
window waiting for him.
"I presume,” he said very kindly,
noticing the boy’s languid condition,
“that you have a great deal of work
to do?”
“Not when the boss is out,” con
fessed the boy frankly.
“Urn! You get well paid for it, I
presume?”
“I don’t git as much as I want.”
“Nobody gets as much as he wants,”
remarked the visitor philosophically.
“I’d like to be nobody awhile,”
grinned the boy.
“Oh, well,” laughed the visitor,
“you will have to wait till you be
come a man, ihen you can have an of
fice boy of your own and pay him
w fiat fie thinks he ought to have for
his valuable services.”
“Can I?” he responded emphatical
ly. “Well, I guess not. You bet
I m not goin’ to bankrupt my busi
ness, I ain’t”—but the boss came in
that moment, and just what import
ant communication the office boy was
going to present.to the visitor was
lost in the rush of him off of the stool.

PROGRESS IN PHOTOGRAPHY.
An Inatramant by IVhlob Natural Colon
Are Roprodnood.
Pictures which were so true to
nature in color as to almost lose the
effect of pictures in their reality were
plentifully used by Frederick E. Ives
to illustrate the lecture which he re*
cently delivered before the Franklin
institute of Philadelphia on “The
Photochroiuoscope,” the name which
he has given an instrument invented
by i himself and by means of which
the first completely satisfactory re
production of the natural colors by
photography has been achieved.
In this instrument, not much larger
than a hand stereoscope, a specially
made photograph which contains no
color, but a record of colors in the
light and shade of three separate im
ages which are arranged in the tre
foil, reproduces to the eye all of the
colors of the object photographed.
On former occasions Mr. Ives showed
a "single” instrument, for which both
the Franklin institute and the Photo
graphic society have awarded him
gold medals. Hut he showed a stere
oscopic photochromoscope in which
the apparent solidity of the image,
combined with the correct rendering
of the natural colors, produces an il
lusion of reality which all previous
pictorial methods have failed to give.
The latter portion of Mr. Ive's
lecture was devoted to the projection
of permanent color prints from photo
chromoscope negatives in the form of
lantern slides upon the screen. Be
sides many familiar still life objects,
the colors of which were well known
to the people present, there were views
of scenery in Fairmount park and in
Switzerland, Italy, and the Yellow
stone region.
GRANDMOTHER’S DOLLARS.
What Her Descendants Might Have Mad
In Interest From Them.
A woman recently died in a neigh
bor! ng town, and besides a grand
daughter and her cynical husband
she left a few relatives and 880 in
gold, with other things. The woman
was over 95 when she died, and the
$80 included her wedding presents.
Like many persons in those days she
tield fast to the shining eagles, and
liad had them for nearly seventy
years. When she died, of course, the
birds were distributed among the
heirs
The cynical husband, who was mar
ried to the old lady’s favorite grand
laughter, mused upon the 880 in gold
and stripped his thoughts of all senti
ment as he speculated in his mind
what might have been, lie is not quite
through with his figuring yet, and
his constant query is, if grandmother
had only put the 880 in the bank
when she first got it what a clutch of
golden eagles we would have now!
ile mused on this as he got ready on
cold mornings to go to work, and his
favorite topic of talk was suggested
is he jingled a nickel and a bunch of
keys looking for his car fare. Then
he began to figure that money at six
per cent doubles in about eleven
years, and he lost sleep as he thought
how many times eleven years went
into seventy-seven years. When the
cynical husband finally referred the
question of his losses to a bank man
he learned that in fifty years the 880
in gold would have amounted to
$1,473.60. Without figuring any
further on the problem the bank man
said he would easily consider that
$10,000 was lost by saving the 880.
A DISSECTING TRIUMPH.
[he Remarkable Work of a Medical Col
lege Professor.
Everyone knows that nerves in the
human body are almost without num
ber, threading every part of the sys
tem. The difficulty of dissecting to
preserve these nerves can, therefore,
be imagined. In a glass case in the
museum of Hahnemann college, Phil
adelphia, is shown the entire human
cerebro-spinal nervous system, every
nerve arranged in its proper order,
and all intact.
This remarkable piece of dissecting
is the work of Dr. R. B. Weaver, one
Df the college professors. It took him
twelve months, working eight hours
a day, to accomplish the work. He re
ceived in recognition an official ribbon
from the World’s fair, where the work
was exhibited, oEvery nerve emana
ting from brain and spine has been
preserved and the subject looks like
a fish net in the case. Some of the
nerves are quite thick and others as
fragile, seemingly, as a spider web.
Her Father Signed the Declaration.
How youthful the United States are
in comparison with other nations was
illustrated in the life of the late Miss
Emily Gerry, who linked the days of
independence with the present times.
She was the daughter of Elbridge
Gerry, signer of the declaration of
independence, governor, vice presi
dent, and from whose name the word
“gerrymander” was made, and was 93
years old, having been born when her
father was 57. Miss Gerry was de
servedly proud of her ancestry. She
was noted for her wit and cleverness
and for her strong memory.
Her Telltale >o«e.
“You can always tell an American
girl on the other side,” said a man
who is just back from Paris, the other
day, “by her nose. It’s frequently a
very pretty nose, by the way, but
there’s always something distinctive
ly American about it The American
girl may dress better than the
Parisienne and may walk better
than a Viennese, but no matter when
you see her you can instantly tell her
nationality by her nose.”
Ill* View.
The girl folded her arms across her
heaving bosom. “Get thee behind
me, Satan,” she commanded. The
prince of evil hesitated, moaned and
complied. "That hat,” he faltered,
“aadjthose sleeves. Oh. dear.”
PAVINQ BILLS.
Amarloan Cutomin a Orest Aid lo
English Delinquents.
“I do not know what we would do
without our American customers,” re
marked one of the principals of a
well known English dressmaking es
tablishment to a New York purchaser,
“for they always settle their ac
counts.”
“Hut how do your English ladies
manage not to pay -their bills?” cx
cluimod the latter.
“Oh, they pay a littlo on account now
and then, and let the rest go; and
sometimes they come into money and
settle, “llesides," she continue I, “it
would ruin our custom if we refuse 1
to take an order from Lady This or
Lady That because of a long out
standing account; all her sot would
resent it, anil they all know it and
take advantage of our position. It is
our outside custom that saves us.”
un returning to me Hotel Mrs. I’,
repeated this little conversation to
her husband, who at onco jnmped to
a conclusion. “The long and short of
it, Jlaria,” he said, "is that you
‘American women’ really pay for the
dresses of the Impecunious English
women of fashion. 1 hope you enjoy
it”
The good old American oustom of
paying bills promptly is, like many
another habit of a simpler society,
becoming more and more rare among
our fashionable women, as the re
cently overheard conversation of a
group of * 'smart" young matrons will
illustrate.
“I always make a full list of my
bills,” said ono young woman, com
placently, “and then I feel so virtu
ous that I never pay them.”
“Mine are kept on a dark shelf in
my closet,” laughed number two. “I
have a long tiling point thore, on
which 1 stick them all, and whenever
I stick one on I feel so systematic
and business-like that my conscience
is quite satisfied.”
"I put all mine in the fire for the
first year 1 was married,” said a third.
“I made up my mind that I would
never worry my husband about any
thing, and that is how 1 managed, ”
she concluded triumphantly.
PUSSY FOND OF SWIMMING,
A Philadelphia Cat That Is an Expert
at retelling Fish.
There is in the Philadelphia Zoo a
little house,' near that occupied by
the reptiles, which is one of the most
interesting and yet last frequented,
probably, of the buildings. One of
the curious animals in it is a cat. It
doesn't seem to be a particularly
wonderful ent, but it is. Perhaps no
animal is as much afraid of water as
a feline, unless it is a schoolboy. Yet
this cat in the Zoo delights in water.
It can swim like a dog and dive like
a professional diver. If in its wild
state while it went swimming along
a stream it spied a fish darting along
underneath it, splash the cat. would
go head first after the fleeing fish
and then soon emerge with
it in its mouth. Then it
would swim to the bank, climb up a
tree and make a cold lunch of the fish.
This cat rejoices in the name of Felix.
It lives on fish, principally, although
it has degenerated to such an extent
that it will eat other things. Felix
has a yearning for rain. One day
there was a leak in the roof over the
cage next to his and the rain came
dropping down on his fellow captive’s
back. This animal howled, because
it objected to being in a perpetual
shower bath, and Felix was mad be
cause he thought he was being un
justly discriminated against. He
hurled himself against the bars of his
neighbor's cage and called for blood.
The other occupants of the building
were surprised. They took sides with
one or the other and joined in the
howls of protest.
The keepers did not know what
was the matter at first. Finally they
saw Felix trying to get his tail wet in
his neighbor's cage, and then they
comprehended. Hut instead of chang
ing the cage so that both would be
satisfied they stopped up the leak.
IIop lilnn nf Art.
She wandered about the young ar
tist’s studio exclaiming' and admiring
in the approved style. “IIow lovely,”
she remarked, “to go through life
always seeing and searching for the
beautiful!” “Yes,” agreed the young
artist, looking longingly toward his
pipe. “You paint marine pictures,
don't you?” she went on, looking at
the walls. “Yes,” answered the
young artist, "or, I try to.” “Are
they er-oil or water color?” she con
tinued. “Mainly oils,” replied the
long-suffering youth. “Isn't that
funny?” she said. “Do you know I
thought pictures of water were al
ways done in water colors?” And the
young artist fell back among the
cushions of his divan.
Takes Alter Mamma.
Miss Sylvia Green has a fid which is
hers by inheritance. It is for money.
Hut, unlike her mother, Mrs. Iletty
Green, it is not for the making of
money, but for saving it. She is con
stantly in fear of the poor house, and
is afraid to spend a cent. .She has
83,000,000 in her own right from her
grandfather, but she spends nothing.
She has devised every imaginable
kind of bank for saving lvr spare
“change,” and is always looking
ahead into the future, with her money
hidden in her hand for safe keeping.
Here'* a (loot I'.xamgle.
In Manchester, England, the town
council is about to put 81,230,000 into
clearing the slums. An overcrowded
and unhealthy space of live acres in
the center of the city will be taken,
the buildings torn down and new
model workmen's dwellings erected
in their stead, with large areas for
playgrounds, and trees and flowers i
planted in the opeu spaces. ‘
