A llualr ru Main W liu Han Drvi.o , Hint rlftu flaking u Woiiimi I lu ) . I came aeros-; a hero theother day. Ho looked much the same as every day mankind. Ib did not know he was a hero, nor did 1 until h had h it tho party in which 1 ii;t him. Domestic heroism, tint of tho pri vacy of home. wi;h no Victoria cross . r congressional medal dangling be foro it as a possibility, is, after all, perhaps the noblest of all heroism. Here was a great, strong, healthy and wealthy man, fond of outdoor i;-rts. of travel, of the activity of a busy commercial career-one who in Lis youth was a man's man rather than a woman's. Fifteen years ago 1,'e married, and in a few years there caino threo children into the house hold. It 'had Itoon a happy family. He l;as been a kindly husband as hus l iuids i n, and she a pleasant and dm if ul wife. Out of tho night came paralysis to iu-r -a new life to him. Since that time his career has Urn entirely altered. His business was quickly arranged so he could bo fre quently absent from his office. Ho was father, mother, nurse, teacher, companion and playmatceompressod in ono domestic providence. Never had woman more devoted attendant nor more faithful and intelligent nurse. All tho little questions of house keeping and of the care and tra'oing of children, of their clothing, their pleasures and their pains, fell to him, and in his hands they have been managed with a wisdom and care absolutely wonderful. This has been, rememUT, something of 10 years' standing, and it has grown instead of lessening. Outside of his compara tively casual attention to business his horizon is confined to tho walls of his homo. To make tho wife for get her burden of afilietion and Ui a happy woman through it all has been his happiness, and with such a spirit ho could not fail. They travel about considerably, this family, and all tho details are taken care of by him. No hired nurses or governesses are permitted to usurp any of his duties, although there is one of each there at hand as his ropiest n tat ivo in times of en forced absence. So skillfully is all this done, so modestly is it carried out, that even the chief beneficiary does not realize what is occurring -and that is his reward. "They do not build Westminster abbeys nowa days," said a friend of mine once, and 1 thought of his remark when I heard the story of this man, for the supply of heroes at tins time is fai below tho demand. - Pittsburg His patch.

Crayfish and worms seem to have very thrilled prefer ences in tho matter of food, though no serial taste organ has been found. Lobsters like decaying food; tho crab is tin ire dainty in its diet. Snails and slugs show a decided preference for certain kinds of food, as garden lovers know to their cost ; peas and cabbages, dahlias and sun ilo Wei's are great favorites, but they will not touch the white mustard. Some prefer animal food, especially if rather high Spiders have only a slight sense of taste; Hies soaked in paraffin seem quite palatable to them, though out species, the tlia ilema, is somewhat more particular and refiiM's to touch alcohol in any form whatever.

Although it was about six miles around the end of the lake, a circuitous course anil certainly unknown to her by sight, the next morning she was back at the old place.

Every UkI resjx'ctotl her, and all those who had tho privilege of her friendship loved her. Suddenly she let her great house and gardens and removed into quite a small villa, with a little garden; also she gave up her car ringo ami limbed her household to one servant. And she gave no more parties. It was understood that this dear old lady had lost her fortune. ISut nobody knew the facts, nor could anylMKly link. Sho retired to this lit tie villa and continued to have re ceptions, at which ton and homo made cake were the only luxuries offered. Also, there arrived! at this juncture a niece, of whoso existence uo ono Unl previously Urn aware. She was not nice, this lady; it is no fault to bo no longer young or good looking, but one ought at least to lie well bred and good tempered Now, after a year or two, during which the bitter tonguo and tho bad teniM'r of tho niece caused continual misery to the old lady, there came a time of sickness. It was tho plague of influenza Many of us in the quarter had it very badly, among others tho old lady's niece. For the old lady's sake, not from any love of our own, we were shocked to learn that the niece was dead. A month or two afterward the old lady told mo a story. Sho said 'You know that 1 lost nil my money It was lost for me. It was my man of business who stole it Ilo forged a power of attorney and sold my stocks; ho gambled with tho proceeds anil lost the whole. When there was uo more, he confessed tho rob bery. But, ho said, to prove the es teem in which ho held me, ho had brought his only child with him. and he would leave her with mo until bettor days So he kissed my hand and left me, and that," she ex plained, "is the reason why I had to leave my dear old house and to receive this poor creature whose un fortunate manners and bitter tongue made me miserable all day long. 1 have often thought" Here she stoppetl, and thinking of that sub lime and unequaled impudence 1 too, have often thought. -New York Recorder Tim Nim liny'n lUui'W'loiiH Mi lium.

Cork SoIimI Sliova, The popularity of cork soled shot n on the inert use, and the socalhd fork is being manufactured in large quantities, the sulistance U'ing pro duced in long rolls and lengths, and sold thus to the trade. The only ixruliarity about the fashion is why tho material is called cork. Certain ly it is far more valuable for its pur pose than cork itself could possibly U', and this Is ono of the caes in which the imitation is farsuperior to the original. Some new and more appropriate name is sure to le adopt ed U'l'ore long, but not until the de mand for cork soled shoes, so called, decreases. Tho shoes of this type were in great demand, even when they wero both costly and clumsy, and the avoidance of both these drawbacks h;is paved the way for nu apparently long lived career of pop ularity. Every ono who wears them has his own reasons for so doing, some thinking they increase the tem perature of the feet and some hold ing exactly the contrary, but tic fashion has been established, and that is practically all that is necet, sary'. Exchange. A Monittrouii Spider. Mygalo avicularia is a monstrous spider, with a body two inches long and legs, when expanded, reaching to seven, who kills small birds and hangs them up in a larder of thick web for l'nUire use. This robber car ries on his murderous trade with cunning dexterity, for which tho ioor finches aro no match. His huge brownish body being thickly covered with coarse gray hairs and exactly matching in color tho trunk of the tree, in some rough crevice of which ho lurks unseen, he is ready to pounce out at a moment's notice upon his hapless prey when onco entangled in the fatal web. Another monster of the same genus, "five inches in expanse," of a brown tint with yellowish lines on his thick hairy legs, is equally rapacious; but, carrying on his depredations only at tho door of his den in the brown earth, needs no protecting color, as he comes out only at night when all about lain is in shadow. Nineteenth Century. A limit lift lug tin lint. There are certain courtesies gen erally paid by men to women that long usage has led us to take as a matter of course. Ono of these is that of raising tho hat. There is no question but that this is a graceful and becoming act for any man, what ever his ago or station may be, or whoever the woman is to whom he pays tho little mark of deference. At the saint time many men do not follow the custom, and the omission is not necessarily to bo attributed to ignorance nor to a lack of respect for women, especially if the man is past middle age. Most men who are bald are obliged to be careful about expiring the head toailraf-. and for that reason avoid taking of; the hat out of doors. Of course there are tunes and places when they could do it without dan ger, but it wouid hardly do to vary the rule to suit tho weather. -Manchester L nioi, l.ili 'ft Cavi's inl I'li'iisui-rt.
