ALAS1 A llttlo thought of doubtful kin Came housed himself my heart within. And spied about, and furled Ills wings. And triad my heart’s long silent strings, And to the sound he wakened there I sang a song upon the air— A song, and songs, and ever more 1 never sang so sweet before Until a whisper came and staid The sweetest songs I ever made. And told me 'twas a very sin Had made himself so snug within! And so I took that busy sprite. That was my helper and delight. And drove him far before my fears And cleansed liis dwelling with iny tears. But since I turned him out of door ,1 sing my happy songs no more. —Maud Egerton King. THAT UMBRELLA. Patter! pat! pat! The rain was pour ing down on the glass portico. A sud den storm had swept up out of a clear sky. Every one was caught unawares. The stray cabs were seized in a moment, the omnibuses crowded before you could look around. There was actually only one umbrella in the stand by the door of the Cafe de Luxe. I stood, in a new hat and a light gray frock coat, and eyed the umbrella speculatively. I knew the owner. He had just gone to luneli. He was a large and long luncher. I was in a hurry. Perhaps the storm would pass. I could send it back by a commission naire. I was very apt to take cold, and my appointment was really very impor tant. Thus prompted of satan, I put forth ' my hand toward the umbrella. At the moment I perceived, lilco a stage vil lain, that I was observed. In fact, I was not alone. A young lady of most at tractive appearance stood a few feet from me, also under the portico, gazing wistfully out into the wet. She wore a summer costume. She looked at her watch, then again at the storm, and murmured disconsolately, “Oh, I shall be late.” An instinct of generosity over came me. Without another thought for my sensitive chest or my light gray suit, with a firm proprietary air, I laid hold of Dawson’s umbrella. “Allow me,” said I, “as cabs seem un attainable, to offer you an umbrella.” A glad light leaped into her eyes. “Oh, I couldn’t.” she said. “What would you do?” “I don’t mind a wetting,” I answered heroically. “Pray take it. You can send it back here at your leisure” (Daw son could not have much more than fin ished his soup). “I couldn’t think of it,” she repeated. “You will get soaked through.” A sudden thought struck me. After all, I had no business to lose sight of Dawson’s umbrella. “Perhaps,” Iventured toBuggest, “our roads lie the same way. It’s a large um brella.” And I opened it. It was not a very large umbrella, but how could I know that? “I go this way,” said she, with a mo tion of her head westward. “My way,” I cried. “Come, this is providential.” We started. “If you wouldn’t mind taking my arm,” said I, “we should be better shel tered.” “Oh, perhaps we should. Thank you!” And she nestled quite close to me. We walked along, talking. My left shoulder got all the drippings, but somehow I was indifferent to that. “Are you sure you are thoroughly sheltered?” I asked. “Perfectly,” she answered. “But you’re not, I’m afraid. You’re too kind. Mamma will be so grateful,” I liked this simple friendliness. “I thought there was no chance of rain today. You are more careful, Mr. Dawson.” I could not repress a little start. “You know my name?” She laughed merrily. “It’s on the umbrella—half an inch long,” she said. “I couldn’t help read ing it.” lhere it was—“JoshuaDawson,4 Cal ceolaria Villas, West Kensington, W.” Somehow the address annoyed me—I myself live in St. James street. “A strange way to make acquaintance, isn’t it?” she asked, with a coquettish glance. “Delightful. But you haven’t allowed me to make acquaintance with you yet. Haven’t you your name anywhere about you?” “My name is Lydia Lovelock,” she said. “Don’t you like it? It’s prettier than yours.” “Certainly prettier than Joshua Daw son,” said I, wishing Dawson had chanced to be a duke. “Joshua Dawson isn’t pretty,” she ob served, with candid eyes; “now, is it?” “Then you wouldn’t take my name in stead of yours?” I asked, to keep up the conversation. “Your umbrella’s enough to take for one day,” she said, with a blush. As she spoke she slipped and all but fell on the shining pavement. She gave a little cry, “Oh, my ankle!” and leaned heavily up on me. I held her up. “I believe I’ve wrenched it badly,” she added. “Oh, what a lot of trouble I’m giving you Mr. Dawson!” She looked lovely — I give you my word, positively lovely—in her pain and distress. I don’t think I said so, but I Baid something, for she blushed again as she answered: “That’s very nice of you, but how am I to get home?” “I must come with you,” I said. She shook her head. “I can manage now.” “But you’ll never be able to get out.” “Oh, yes. But—perhaps—the rain’s almost stopped—may I keep the um brella? There are some steps to mount to our door, and” Now, could I do anything else than press Dawson’s umbrella upon her? She took it, and with a last bewitching smile vanished from my sight. I turned and almost ran back to the Cafe de Luxe, de termined to make a clean breast of it to Dawson. When I was 50 yards off, 1 saw Trim under the portico. Tho manager and four waiters stood round him in dis consolate attitudes. One or two of his remarks—he was talking very loud reached my ears. I changed my mind. I would wait till he was calmer. I turned away, but at that instant Daw son caught sight of me. A second later he was pouring the story of his wrongs into my ear. Here came my fatal weakness. I let him go on. He took me by the arm and walked me off. I could not escape him, and all the- way he thundered against j the thief. “If it costs me £20, I’ll bring him to | justicel” he declared. Really I dared j not break it to him just yet. Suddenly from round a sharp corner there came upon us—almost running in to us—Lydia Lovelock herself, with Dajvson’s umbrella in her hand. He had been narrowly scanning every um brella we passed. He scanned this one and cried, darting forward: umbrella!” With a little scream Lydia turned and fled. Dawson was after her like an ar row. I pursued Dawson. Why, oh, why, did she run away? Surely she must have recognized me. It was a very quiet street we were run ning up, and our strange procession at tracted little notice. The chase was soon over. I caught Dawson just as he caught Lydia. For a moment we all stood pant ing. Then Dawson gasped again: “My umbrella! Thief!” Lydia seemed very agitated. Of course I came to her rescue. Avoiding Daw son’s eye, I hastily told my shameful tale. Lydia’s face brightened, but still there was apprehension in her looks. “This lady, believe me,” I said, “is en tirely blameless. Of course she thought the umbrella was my own. My sole con solation, Dawson, is to think that had you been in my place you would have done the same.” “I don’t see,” remarked Dawson rude ly, “why it consoles you to think me a a thief.” I preserved a dignified silence. “However,” he continued, “if this young lady has quite finished with my property, perhaps she will be good enough to give it me back.” Lydia did not take the hint. She clung to the umbrella. ■it—li you wouiu oe so Kina, sne stammered, “as to lend it to me for to day—the weather is still threatening—1 would return it tomorrow.” “Your request, madam, is a modest one,” answered Dawson sarcastically, “but, as you observe, the weather is threatening, and I want my umbrella. Kindly give it me.” “Really, Dawson, to oblige a lady”—I began. “Why don’t you buy her an umbrel la?” sneered Dawson. “If she would accept it, I should be”— I stopped. To my surprise, Lydia laid her hand on my arm and said: “Oh, do, pleasel And may I keep this till we get to the shop?” I did not understand her, but we turned round and began to walk, looking for a shop. She was a very strange girl. She lagged behind. I had to wait twice for her. Once she took a turning as though to leave us, and when I called her back she pouted. Suddenly Dawson looked up. “It rains,” he said. It did rain. “Put up the umbrella,” said Dawson roughly. “Let the lady have it,” said I indig nantly. “We’ll share it,” grinned Dawson. “You can get wet.” But Lydia did not put it up. “The rain’s not much,” she faltered It was now pouring. With a mutteri oath, Dawson snatched the umbrel from her. Lydia shrieked and ran awa like a frightened rabbit—ran at the tc of her speed up the street again. “Stop, stop!” I cried. “Stop, my dear Miss Lovelock.” “Holy powers!” exclaimed Dawson. He had opened the umbrella. As he did so there was a thud on the pavement— two, three thuds. In amaze I looked down. There lay a silver cigarette case, two purses and a gold watch. Dawson burst into maniacal laughter as he point ed at Lydia’s retreating figure. That girl could run. For a moment I stood dumfounded. W hat a revelation! Dawson chuckled in Satanic glee. Sadly I stooped down and picked up the purses, the cigarette case and the watch. “Great Scott!” I cried, and my hand flew to my waistcoat pocket. It was my watch! I did not prosecute Lydia because I could not have overtaken her, and for other reasons. It was altogether too sad, too disheartening, too disappoint ing a discovery. Dawson, however, ob served that it seemed to him an excel lent example of poetic justice in real life. —St. James Gazette. Treatment For a “Wild Hair.” A “wild hair” is the most annoying freak of nature a man can be afflicted with. It grows in from the eyelid, in stead of out, and constantly brushing against the eyeball sometimes causes an irritation that results in the loss of sight. To pull it out gives only tempo rary relief, since in a few weeks it comes back as well grown and strong as ever. The only way to kill it is to destroy the sac from which it springs. This is done by means of the electric needle, which is pressed into the sac and a current turned on. A sharp prick is felt, and the hair is forever dead.—St. Louis Globe Democrat. Odd Ways of Shaking Hands. The black kings of the African coast press your middle finger three times as a sign of salutation, the Japanese takes off his slipper, while the Laplander pushes his nose vigorously against you. In Hindostan they salute a man by taking him by the beard, while the people of the Philippine islands take your hand and rub their face with it. The king of Ternate rises to receive his subjects, aad they sit down to salute him.—F. H. Stauffer in Kate Field’s Washington. »su,. RISKS TAKEN ON LIFE INSURANCE MAY NOW BE SECURED IN MANY QUEER FORMS. Blizzards and College Educations, Floods and Automatic Sprinklers, Lons of Cattle and Eoss of Incomes Are All Provided For by Many Schemes. President Eliot of Harvard recently suggested a practical scheme by which parents might insure a college education for their sons and daughters. It was proposed that the parent should pay to some reliable insurance company a cer tain sum annually, beginning with the third year of the child’s age, the com pany guaranteeing to pay the child, be ginning with his eighteenth year, the sum of $400 per annum for the next four years. To the mind of the layman there was an attractive novelty about this scheme, although it is in fact only a new way of proposing a very attractive form of contract offered long ago by life insurance companies under the title of “deferred annuities.” Hie fact that college educations may be insured suggests the constant multi plication of all kinds of insurances. Fifty years ago this country knew very little about insurance of any kind save the simple contracts of insurance against death and fire. Today there are various forms of accident insurance, marine in surance, insurance against blizzards, hurricanes and floods, live stock insur ance, plate glass insurance, steam boiler insurance, insurance against burglars, mail matter insurance and, queerly enough, insurance against damage from automatic sprinklers, which are them selves a part of insurance against loss by fire. Nearly all of these schemes are the outgrowth of Yankee ingenuity, save in the case of insurance against live stock, which, according to Paul du Chaillu, did a flourishing business in Iceland 600 years ago. Many of the other forms of insurance owe their origin to special calamities, against the recurrence of which shrewd business men proposed to take chances. Insurance against floods, for example, originated with the Cone maugh disaster in the spring of 1889, and insurance against cyclones began just after the town of Grinnel, la., was de vastated in 1883. une or me most interesting rorms or insurance is the accident business, in which the companies make their profits on broken hones, cracked skulls, taran tula and snake bites, sprained muscles and scalded bodies. A man in Syracuse recently broke his arm, and 20 days’ later, having failed to take precautions, he died of pneumonia. The court held that he died of an accident, and the in surance company in which he held an ac cident policy had to pay. Another man, who lived in Morristown, N. J., got up in the night to close a window. While walking across the room in the dark he struck his shin on a chair. Inflamma tion developed, followed by grave com plications, and the man died after hav ing had his leg amputated. The insur ance company contested that he had neglected to take proper precautions in not lighting a candle before crossing the room, but the court held against this theory, and the company paid the loss. The court of appeals of this state re cently affirmed a ruling of the supreme court in the case of I I. M. Paul, who was suffocated in his sleeping room by es caping gas. Both courts held that he died from an accident. These rulings tend to show that there is no little e.f ference of opinion as to what constitutes an accident. In England the courts hold views as to the meaning of the word “accident"’ that differ widely from the interpreta tions of the American courts. The court of appeals in England, for example, re cently decided a case of a farmer who was killed by a bull in crossing one of his fields. It was the opinion of the court that the man incurred an obvious risk in crossing the field in the presence of the bull; that any man taking reason able precautions would not have incur red such a risk, and that his death was not due to an accident, as implied by that term in his policy. Another English case was that of Cole versus Accident Insurance company. Cole went to his bam one night to get some medicine which he kept there. A gust of wind blew out his candle, and in the dark he took from the shelf a bottle of corrosive sublimate, of which he took a large dose. The court held that this was not a case requiring the accident company to pay any loss, though it is hard to see why it was not an accident pure and simple. ±me insurance, wane apparently a very simple undertaking per se, is sometimes employed in abstruse and complicated business methods. Some of the heirs of the late I. V. Williamson, who died in Philadelphia in March, 1889, have re cently resorted to a novel contract in life insurance for the purpose of realizing on an estate that according to the terms of the will would not have been theirs until 1899. Mr. Williamson left an es tate valued at $11,163,822, of which $6, 000,000 was placed in trust to accumu late for 10 years, when it was to be dis tributed equally among 35 relatives, if they survived. Six of these relatives de sired, however, to realize at once on their inheritance, and it was accordingly pro posed to gratify their desire by an issue of $100,000 bonds for each person. These bonds are secured by an as signment of $110,000 of each persons in terest in the estate, or $660,000 in all. As, however, each inheritance depends upon survival until April 1, 1899, the bonds are further guaranteed by an in surance of $100,000 on each person's life, issued by a prominent New York com pany and paid up to that date. These policies have been in turn assigned to the trustees of the collateral security for the benefit of toe bondholders, and the said trustees will issue $600,000 in debenture bonds, paying interest thereon out of funds deposited with it for that purpose. —New York Times. AN UNUSUAL ANESTHETIC. A DentUt's Experience With a Woman and an Aching Tooth. The drummer had told a commercial story, and the dentist, who had been ex tracting much pleasure therefrom, fol lowed with a professional yarn. “At one time in my early practice in a country town,” he said, “there came to me a very nervous woman to have a tooth extracted. She carried on so that I could scarcely get her into the chair, and as soon as I put the forceps near her mouth she screamed and bounced arouud so I couldn’t do anything with her. After two or three visits, each worse than the other, I suggested that 1 take her to the nearest large town, whore , a dentist administered gas. Well, the j tooth hurt her so that at last she con sented, and I took her there, about 25 ; miles by rail. “I went armed with a pair of forceps as a matter of habit, and when we got to the place and she saw the gas bag and other appliances she had them again worse than before, and I had to give it up and take her back home. I was thor oughly provoked and felt like taking a club to her, but she had money and was paying for her foolishness, so I tried to restrain my feelings. About 10 miles out from town as the train was plugging along about 20 miles an hour, and slie was holding her jaw and I was holding mine, in the seat beside her, we struck a broken rail, and the last thing I knew we were rolling down an embankment and being piled up at the bottom in a very promiscuous fashion. I don’t know how it came about, but I wasn’t hurt much, and when my senses were fully restored I dragged my patient out through a window and laid her on a hank near by. She was pretty badly bruised and had been knocked senseless, and as I was en deavoring to restore her a brilliant thought occurred to me. The next mo ment I had out my forceps, and the next I had out the confounded tooth. Two hours later one of the physicians who had been summoned had restored her to consciousness, and as she opened her eyes and saw me standing by her side she clapped her hand to her jaw and ex claimed: “ ‘Oh, doctor, I knew it would be ter rible, but I didn’t think it would be so bad as that. However, though, it is out at last.’ “Then she went to sleep, and it was a week before she knew the real facts in the case.” “Did she pay you anything extra?” queried the drummer doubtfully. “No,” smiled the dentist, “but the rail road company did—$5,000—and 1 got half.”—Detroit Free Press. Where Iron Is Sacred. Among the Baralongs. a great African people, iron is a sacreil object. They are expert workers in metal, which they still smelt from its native ore by the most primitive methods ever devised by man. This art was to them in former days a source of wealth, influence and power and the legend is that when people did not know the value of the stones found in their brooks a “wise man"’ saw a vision. The spirit of his chief stood be side him and said, “Gather stones and burn them to make spears.” The sage thought it was a dream and that the chief was hungry, so he sacrificed an ox. But the vision returned, and the chief looked sorrowful. He stood a long time, and at last said: “My son, why do you not obey your father? Go to the river, gather stones and make a hot fire. After that you will see iron with your eyes.” The sage was greatly frightened and feared some calamity, but dared not re fuse. When he had made a hot fire, iron came out of it, and then he knew the chief had taken pity on his children. He told his son the secret before he died, but he was a vain coxcomb, and wish ing to show his own wisdom made iron in the presence of strangers, and to the secret of the art was lost to his tribe, but they have always continued to re gard iron as sacred above all other met als.—Million. Wisconsin’s Indians. In 1836, when Wisconsin was organ ized as a territory, the civilized tribes ef Indians living in Wisconsin were the Brothertowns, the Stockbridges and the Oneidas. The two former were located on Lake Winnebago, in Calumet county. By acts of congress all the Brother towns and a part of the Stockbridges were made citizens of the United States. The uncivilized Indians were the Potta watomies and the Winnebagoes. We live in what was the Meuomon Indian country in 1836. At that time they could muster at least 2,000 war riors. Now they are civilized. They furnished many excellent soldiers for the Union army, and that service accel erated the civilization of the tribe. Prob ably they could not now furnish over 300 men fit for military service. The Chippewas diminish less rapidly, but the Pottawatomies are nearly ex tinct in this state. The Winnebagoes were sent to Nebraska, but several bands returned and have homestead lands in i northwest Wisconsin. They do notpro i gress much in the direction of civiliza tion.—Appleton (Wis.) Crescent. Merriment at a Funeral. Merriment is regarded as out of place ; at a funeral, yet an inhabitant of Mont gaillard, who had been dubbed the “Mis anthrope” on account of his gloomy and reserved disposition, inserted a clause in his will to the effect that any of his rela tions who should presume to shed tears at his funeral would be disinherited, and : on the other hand he who laughed most I heartily was to be his sole heir. He fur | ther gave directions that neither his j house nor the church was to be hung with black cloth on the day of his burial, but both were to be decorated with flow ers and green boughs, while, instead of the melancholy tolling of bells, the cere-1 mony was to be accompanied with] drums, fiddles and fifes. There is rea son to believe that the funeral was con ducted in exact accordance with these peculiar instructions.—Exchange.
