A RECOLLECTION.
It waa Indeed o perfect day.
I scarce recall the weather ,
But autumn culm and bloom of Mar
Seem mingled theru together.
Then melody nisde Hwcot the hours ,
Each sentence was a ballad ,
The rocka wore jewels , weeds were flowers ,
When Mary dressed the salad.
No vernal scone whoso blandbihmont
Will welcomely beset us
Can have the fascination lent
By that small sprig of lcttuco ,
And vainly must musicians toll
From stage or fostnl wagon
For tones like those with which the oil
Came loitering 'from the flagon.
Strange how these merchant chemists mar
Each once alluring Bavor !
How tasteless is the vinegarl
How dull the pepper's flavorl
Ofttimes when sterner moods are planned
Those memories como pressing
That salad day , the hunshino and
The girl who made the dressing.

THE RETIRED BURGLAR.
A Meeting With a Gentle Hearted Woman
Bucked by a Ferocious Dog.
"At the foot of the stairs in the front
hall of a farinhonso one night , " said
the retired bnrglar , "I stumbled over
something soft that turned out to bo a
feather Led. If I had had a grain of
sense at all , I should have suspicioued
something from that , hut I didn't. It
looked as though it had been just tum
bled down stairs and left there to he
carried off in the morning , and I let it
go at that and stepped into it and over
it to the first step of the stairs and on
up.
"Stopping up on the fourth step , I
kicked against a string stretched across
the stairs and broke it. That made me
suspicious , but I never connected the
feather bed at the foot of the stairs
with it. I looked up. I expected it to be
connected with something there. And
it was , and it was coming down the
stairs at me and filling up the whole
stairway. It was a big feather bed.
Even then I didn't see that the one
coming down had anything to do with
the one down on the flcor , and at the
same time I couldn't understand why
anybody should roll anything like a
feather bed down on anybody bulky ,
to be sure , but so light that it was an
easy thing to stop.
"I put up my hands to stop this one ,
but might just as well have tried to
stop a mountain. It was soft and
squashy on the outside , but it weighed
a ton. It just bowled me right over
backward , and I fell on the other feath
er bed at the foot of the stairs. Then
I began to understand what that one
was for. It was to save the bones of the
man that was tnmbled over by the ava
lanche bed.
"I lay there nearly smothered by the
bed on top and working out from under
it gradually.
" 'I hope you are not hurt ? ' I heard
somebody say from over the railing
along the hall up stairs , and I said ,
'No , ma'am , 'because it was a female
voice , and I am always polite to the
ladies , 'but would you mind telling me
what's inside the one that came down ? '
" 'Oh , 'she said , 'it's the summer
I range , with the flatirons inside. Can
you lift it off , or shall I let the dog
1 como down and help you ? '
1 ' 'And with that I heard a dog scratch
ing up stairs. I supposed it started him
up to hear himself spoken of , and I
judged from the sound of his claws on
the carpet that he must have been about
the size of a tiger and of about the same
kind of disposition.
" 'No , ' I says , 'I can get clear of it. '
And I did and stood up in the hall.
" 'You won't carry off the other one ,
will you ? ' she said.
' 'And hearing the dog still scratch
ing up stairs , I said , 'No , I won't. '
And I didn't. The lady appeared to be
gentle hearted enough , but I knew you
couldn't trust the dog. " New York

Energy From Volcanic Heat.
The energy stored in the coal bed3
has rightly been referred back to the
sun , and it is no doubt to the same
source that we should ultimately attrib
ute the heat developed at great depths
below the surface of the earth. While
it is believed that no practical attempts
to utilize this subterranean heat have
yet been carried into effect , there ap
pears to be no good reason why the at
tempt should not be made , especially in
volcanic regions , where quite high tem
peratures should be revealed at moder
ate depths.
In a Colorado mining town an inter
esting combination was recently ob
served which a little ingenuity might
have converted into a considerable
source of power. Within 20 feet of each
other were two springs , one of a tem
perature of nearly 200 degrees F. and
the other not over 60. the flow of each
being very uniform ami the temperature
quite constant. The theoretical efficiency
might readily be determined from the
well known law of thermodynamics.and
the use of ono stream to vaporize and
the other to condense some volatile
liquid , such aa ammonia or bisulphide
of carbon , might enable a fair percen
tage of the energy to be utilized which
is now running to waste. Cassier's
Magazine.
She Had a Beason.
"I don't believe Salliecan know that
rich old Brown or she'd never marry
him in spite of all his money. "
"Why not ? "
"He has such aviolent temper. "
"Oh , that's all right. That's why
she has been giving so much time to
gymnasium work lately. " Chicago

Strikes occurred centuries ago , and
their outcome was just as disastrous as
is that of the present day work strug
gles. In the year 1329 , says an old pa
per , a strike of brassworkers was ini
tiated in Breslau , Silesia , which lasted

SERVANTS IN JAPAN.
They Render Excellent Service It They
Are Treated With Consideration.
Japanese servants are excellent if you
ihooso them with discretion and treat
Hietn with the established consideration
of the country. There is a universal so
cial compact in Japan to make lifo
pleasant by politeness. Everybody is
more or less well bred and hates the
man or woman who is yakamashu
uoisy , uncivil or exigent.
People who lose their temper are al
ways in a hurry , bang door3 , swear and
swagger , find themselves out of place
in a laud whore the lowest cooly learns
and praotices an ancient courtesy from
the time when he wabbles about as a
baby upon his mother's back. Therefore
to be treated well in Japan as perhaps ,
indeed , elsewhere you must trout every
body , including your domestics , well ,
and then you will enjoy the most pleas
ant and willing service.
Your cook will doubtless cheat you a
little , your jiurikisha man will now
and then take too much sake , the mus-
mn and the boy's wife will gallop all
over the place about everything you do ,
and the gardener and the coachman will
fight cocks in the back yard when your
back is turned , but if couscious of youi
own you can forgive the little sins of
others. You can hardly fail to becom6
olosely attached to the quiet , soft voiced ,
pleasant people , who as soon as they
have learned your ways will take real
pleasure in making life agreeable to you.
A present now and then of a kimono
to the maids , of toys and sweetmeats to
the children , a day's holiday now and
then granted to the theater or the wres
tling match are richly rewarded by such
bright 1..CLand unmistakable warmth
of welcomr on arriving and of good
speed on going as repay you tenfold.
Respectful Japanese servants are
and they never speak except on their
knees and faces they like to bo taken
into the family conversation and to sit
sometimes in friendly abandon with the
master and mistress , admiring dresses ,
pictures or western novelties and listen
ing sometimes to the saniisen and koto
as children of the household. Edwin
Arnold in Scribner's.
QUEER LIBRARY FREAKS.
Funny Requests For Rooks That Amuse
and Amarc Employees.
Once in awhile the clerks in the pub
lic library get hold of a good joke
through the ignorance of people who
come there to take out books. It was
not long ago that a woman who was
anxious to join the Daughters of the
American Revolution came there to
look up her family history and get her
facts and claims ready to submit to the
committee on membership. She went
about it in rather a queer way. After
looking about aimlessly through the in
dex for a time she discovered ' ' Lossing's
family History of the United States. " ,
She wrote her request for the books on >
one of the cards provided for that pur
pose and was quite indignant with the
clerk who handed it to her because it
did not contain what she wanted.
It was not long after this incident
that another woman , who , from her
dress and appearancethe clerks thought ,
might be literary , wrote on one of the
cards a request for "The Autocrat of
the Breakfast Table. "
"Holmes' 'Autocrat , do yon want ? "
politely asked the clerk.
"Oh , I don't care whose it is , " was
the reply. "I only want to find out if it
is proper to use toothpicks at the break
fast table. "
Another request for a magazine which
the applicant said was called Brain
kept one of the clerks busy hunting half
an hour before he discovered that what
was wanted was the magazine called
Mind. Still another clerk was shock
ed the other day by a request for Wash
ington Irviug's "Alabama. " The clerk
mildly suggested "Alhambra. " Chicago

Deafness.
It has been stated that three persons
out of every five in this country who
have attained the age of 40 years are
more or lecs deaf in one or both ears.
A largo proportion of this deafness is
caused by catarrh , and medical treat
ment for difficulty of hearing is usually
directed to the catarrhal ? ource. In Eu
rope much of the deafness is hereditary.
Dr. James Kerr Love of Glasgow re
cently read a paper on deafness before
the Royal society of Edinburgh , from
which ic appears that congenital deafness - ,
ness may bo either hereditary in the direct - :
rect line or in collateral branches , and '
that it depends on not one , but many ]
anatomical defects. Intermarriage of
deaf persons perpetuates but does not
accentuate the tendency of deafness.
The hearing brothers and sisters of deaf
mutes are as likely to have deaf inuto
offspring as if they had been deaf mutes
themselves. Consanguinity of parents |
emphasizes family defects , and in this
way many cases of congenital deafness
occur. One of the most singular points
of Dr. Love's paper was the assertion
that the state had the right to control
the marriage of persons belonging to
families badly tainted with deafness.

Ancient Tombstones.
(
The custom of inscribing upon tomb
stones was in vogue among the Greeks :
and Romans. The Greeks only did this ,
however , in the case of their illustrious j
men , but when a Roman died he wa3 ;
duly buried near a highway , and on his
tombstone was carved a suitable inscription - I
tion , which in the majority of cases began -
gan with "Sta , viator" ( stop , traveler ) . :
About 10,000,000 of the bovine species - 5
cies are now to be found in the Argentine - >
tine Republic. They are all descendants ]
of eight cows and one bull which were \
imported into Brazil in the middle of ]
the sixteenth century. \

"Honors of war" is the privilege allowed - >
lowed to the enemy , on capitulation , of
being permitted to retain their arms , i
This is the highest honor a victor can \
Day a vanquished foe. !
