An Amateur Conjurer
During a little pedestrian trip a gen
tleman came unexpectedly upon a
country race course and on one por j
tlon of the ground found a thimblcrlg
establishment In full work
standing the remonstrance of his com
panion the gentleman who was a bit
of a madcap Insisted ou watching the
gume
Now would the gent like to wager
a crown he could find the pea re
marked the expert
Yes was the reply
The money was on both sides depos
ited and the pedestrian lifting up the
thimble pointed out the required pea
and took the stakes
A second bet double or quits end
ed to the surprise of the expert In the
same result
Then a third wager a pound or
nothing steadied the nerves of the
loser and the trick was aceoniplished
twlth great caution The gentleman
lifted up the thimble and showed the4
pea at the same time pocketing the
stakes
Bhelp me etc I didnt put it
theie exclaimed the bewildered art

No but I always carry my own

EFFORT BY PROXY
nvoluntary Attempts to Help Athletes
at Exciting Moments
In pictures of athletic competitions
chiefly hurdle races and high jumps
an occasional spectator is seen in a
queer posture
If it is a picture of au athlete leap
ing ten chances to one the spectator
has Involuntarily raised his right leg
twisting his body in automatic expres
sion of a desire to help the jumper
With hurdle race photographs this of
ten may be noticed too and in the
case of sprinters not a few men stand
with faces twisted up and holding the
breath in correct imitation of the ath
lete actually competing
So too with football views In one
of a big game there was a photograph
of a man on the side line watching a
tackle who was crouching down in al
most exact imitation of a waiting de
fense man who was shown at the mo
ment making ready for his leap at the
runner
Men who follow athletics know how
Involuntary this is One athletic train
er has appeared in hundreds of pic
tures as watching some one of his
charges high jumping with his leg
swung out just as if he were making
the leap himself There is a sort of
relief for the feeling of trying to help
the jumper in swinging the leg up
and almost any person is likely to tlJ
himself doing it instinctively
It may be noticed at prizefights that
some men go through the entire battle
punch for punch crossing and counter
ing an imaginary opponent as they
watch the struggle before them Men
drive and ride horses In races from the
stand making the effort in the stretch
along with the jockey of their fancy
This is one of the well known features
among the race crowd where there are
many grand stand riders In wres
tling matches almost any one will try
purely by instinct to help the athlete
who is down and who is bridging des
perately to avoid the fall
And yet there is rarely enough
grief Professional mourners were I pathic suggestion in the air surcharged
hired to squat outside the police -with desire to bring about a result dif
tion where the recruiting took place ferent from what naturally might be
yelling and weeping If on the other j expected at the moment when the
hand he was rejected as undersized greatest wish for something else is
or a weakling or tainted with a loath- j born that is to say the high jumper
some disease his relations and friends doesnt necessarily clear the bar nor
flew to him rejoicing and kissed him j the sprinter squeeze out the inch or

Macaulay was not the first man to

had used the same image with the dif
ference that she applied it to Black
friars bridge An earlier reviewer had
used it in an article published in 17G7

Origin of Old Glory
In the reminiscences of Lord Ronald
Gower Is found a story of the origin of
the stars and stripes
The star spangled banner of tho
Amerlcau republic had its origin from
an old brass on the floor of an ancient
church in Northamptonshire The brass
covers the tomb of one Robert Wash
ington and Is dated 1022 On It ap
pears the Washington coat of arms
consisting of three stars with bars or
stripes beneath them On the first day
of the new year 1770 the thirteen
united colonies raised a standard at
Washingtons headquarters
This introduced the stripes of the
present but retained the crosses of St
George and St Andrew on a blue
ground in tho corner In 1777 tho
crosses were replaced by stars as the
Declaration of Independence rendered
the retention of the English element
unnecessary and inconvenient in thus
adopting the arms of his ancestors as
his own distinctive badge Washington
no doubt intended the flag merely as a
private signal for his own personal fol
lowing but it was at once adopted as
a national emblem Probably there is
not another case in the worlds history
in which the private arms of an ob
scure family have attained such world
wide eminence and repute
The Bank Could Stand It
A western lawyer tells of a remark
able instance of the convincing powei
of feminine logic as evidenced by an
occurrence which he once witnessed
while standing on the edge of a crowd
that was besieging the doors of a bank
supposed to be on the point of sus
pending payment
A conversation between a rosy cheek
ed Irishwoman and her husband whe
were near the lawyer at once attract
ed his attention
Mary said the man we musl
push up so ye can dhraw your money
at dnct
But I dont want to draw it out
Roger replied Mary placidly
Dont ye know Marj persisted th
husband that theyll lose your mon
ey for ye If ye dont hurry t dhraw it
out
An shure Roger retorted Mary
aint they better able to lose It that
we are
Roger was stunned by this unan
swerable logic and after a few more
words the two withdrew Fortunate
ly the bank survived its difficulties
and no depositor lost a cent Harpers
A Purse For the Bride
Some brides may be inclined to re
gret that the old marriage custom ol
the dow purse has fallen into disuse
It was the custom of the bridegrooir
to fill a purse with a goodly sum ol
money and present it to the bride or
the wedding day as the price of thf
purchase of her person It sounds lik
slavery like the buying of goods and
chattels yet the bride had a nice lit
tie sum of money for her own use
Some of the oldest inhabitants oi
Cumberland may remember a similai
custom in that county The bride
groom provided himself with a num
ber of gold and silver pieces and ai
the words with all my worldly goods
I thee endow he handed the clergy
man his fee and poured the othei
coins into a handkerchief held out fov
that purpose by the bride In othej
places again the bride had the right
to ask her husband for a gift of monej
or property on the day after the wed
ding and he was bound in honor tc
grant the request London Answers

Hawaii is said to have something ovei
forty distinct varieties of the fruit
most of which have been introduced
by the whites Some of these are ol
