Har Sound Advice.
The prominent citizen and favorite
son sat at his desk, deeply Immersed
la the cares of his wide affairs. A
ie legation of party leaders was ushered
in.
"""Sir." said the spokesman, "you have
Ibecn unanimously chosen as tbe party's
candidate for governor of the state.
Under present conditions a nomination
a tantamount to election, and we urge
7ur acceptance. The office seeks the
Gentleuieu. said the favorite son.
"1 am profoundly impressed by the
fconor done me. but before I accept 1
ust consult my wife. 1 never take a
efcclsive step without consulting my
wife."
The committee bowed and withdrew.
At home the favorite son confided
tbe circumstances to his wife, who lis
tened with fond pride and wifely ad
miration. 'And now, he said In conclusion.

The eagle is the kiug of birds, the

why he was adopted as our national

Married Woman's Nama.
I b England ayd in the United States
j a woman loses her identity in mar
! riage. In Belgium and Spain the hus
1 band adds the name of his wife to
his own. In tbe United States women
s sometimes retain the family name, as
' Mrs. Harriet (Reeeben Stowe. In the
Channel islands the woman never
tosm her maiden name. Iu Spain the
;-2iHdren write the names of hntn
: parents, as Llarena y Xionteverde. In
"' "Don Quixote" is the following:
' "Casajo was my father's name, and 1.
fcr being the wife of Sancho Panza.
; a ci called Teresa Pauza. but by good
r!ght they ought to call me Teresa
Casajo. In Scotland both names are
I preserved, and the vruman is always
' known by her maiden name. In Wales
i it is the custom to describe the woman
by her maiden name. The fact that
a woman on becoming the wife of a
man loses her identity is apparent
in many portions of the Bible, when
under tbe ancient custom man. on
taking a wife, declared that sbe be
came "flesh of my flesh and blood of
my blood." thereby establishing the
old time saying that man and wife are
one. Richmond Times-Dispatch.

A Triple Play.
It was at the end of the ninth In

was two runs to the good, things
looked black for them.
The visitors were at bat. There
were no outs, and three men were on
bases; also Terrible Terry Tomkins
was up. and Terry's batting average
reached the clouds.
Terry hunched his shoulders and
waited confidently, and a groan went
up from the bleachers.
The ball flew in three pieces, and the
pieces Hew in three directions. One
was caught by the pitcher, one was
pulled out of the air by the shortstop,
and ooe landed in tbe first baseman's

Tho Stake In tho Gam.
A party of apaches entered a Paris
cafe to have a game of billiards. The
game was carried on in great mystery
and absorbed all the interest and at
tention of the players. They had an
enemy who was to be "done for." aad
whoever lost the game was to "do"
him. Whfn the game was over the
loser acci-pted the result without dis
cussion. Not long afterward a work
man was stabbed fatally as he was
coming out of a dance hall. The man
who had stabbed him quickly disap
peared, and the workman was placed
in a cab and driven to an address
which he had given. . This was in a
certain street where a sister of his
was living. The man was barely able
to get out of the cab and to explain
that he had been stabbed. His case
was so serious that he was conveyed
to a hospital and died a few hours
later. The police then made an inquiry
and learned how the murder was delib
erately decided upon and savagely
executed. The workman himself did
not know that his life was staked on
a game of billiards. Paris Cor. Lon

Scotch Accent Too Much For Him.
The only real blot on my visit to
Glasgow, says a writer in the London
Sketch, is my total inability to speak
with a Scottish accent. I rather pride
myself, as most people d jk on my vocal
imitative faculties, but confess to
all the world here and now that I can
not imitate the Scottish accent. My
Irish is beautiful; it would make all
Dublin weep. My American is quite
good: I could nearly always get any
thing that I wanted in the shops if 1
had the money. Anybody can talk
Welsh who cares to substitute "p" for
"b" and "f" for "ra." But the Scot
tish accent eludes me. Sometimes I
speak a little Scottish, tentatively, to
the policeman or the tram conductors
or the shopkeepers. The policemen
draw their staves, the tram conductors
stop their trams, and the shopkeepers
put up their shutters. I am not quite
sure, but I rather think that I shall
abandon the unequal struggle.
She Was Persistent.
A huge package once reached Sir
Walter Scott from a young lady in
America for which he had to pay $25
expressage. It contained a manuscript
play and a letter from the fair author
requesting Scott to read and correct
her work, write a prologue and an
epilogue, arrange for its production at
Drury Lane and negotiate with a pub
lisher for the copyright. That was bad
enough, but worse was to follow. About
a fortnight later arrived another mighty
packet, charged with a similar postage.
Scott; who had not grown wiser by
experience, paid the charges and
opened the parcel. Out came a dupli
cate copy of the play and a second
letter from the authoress, stating that
as the weather had been, stormy and
she feared something might have hap
pened to her former manuscript she
had thought it prudent to send him a
duplicate.
How Centipedes Walk.
An eminent authority has investigat
ed the peculiar wavy motion of centi
pedes and millepedes to determine the
manner in which these animals man
age to use their superabundant pedal
extremities so gracefully and harmo
niously. It has been found that the
legs move iu groups or waves, each
wave including a definite number of
legs. The number of waves included
tn the length of the body is constant
for each species. In millepedes the
waves of each side are synchronous.
In centipedes they are symmetically
alternate, giving rise to beautifully ac
cordant movements. The difference
may be explained by suggesting that
the millepede moves like a pacing
horse, the centipede like a trotter.

A Pleasant Surprise.
A young man in Indianapolis felt
his heart sink as he pulled from his
mail box a letter of the wedding in

had received this season, and he had
begun to wonder whether he had any
friends left in the single state.
"Another five dollar bill busted to
smash." he mourned.
Then he opened the envelope. But it
was only the announcement of a wed

before. And he found in th same

Gem of Ancient Architecture.
The Oratory of Gallerus, situated
n the Dingle promontory in Kerry,
is probably the oldest place of Chris
tian worship in the United Kingdom.
It is unique in Its architecture, for It
was built without mortar, and the
arch was formed direct from the
ground level by the peculiar placing
of the stones. In the east gable is
the only window in the building, while
inbjie west is the small doorway. The
building, which is now one of the na

isle, has recently been restored to
