"A granddaughter of Wordsworth,
being full of admiration for the young
poet who was to succeed her grand
father in laureate honors, was once
taken to see Mr. Tennyson by Mrs.
Taylor, the wife of another poet or
some distinction. Tennyson received
them ery badly, showing great irri
tation at being disturbed, and when
Mrs. Taylor rallied him on his manner
he said: 'Madam. 1 am a poor man
and as I can't afford to buy the Times
I hire it from the stationer's. He
charges me a penny for It. which enti
ties me to keep it for au hour. Why
will people always select just that
hour to come and call upon me";' After
which he thing out of the room, leav

Currency In China.
Writing from the interior of China, a
traveler says: "Currency is primitive
to a degree. Lump silver only is used
and copper 'cash. Coined money is
not current. Even in Ilonan city,
which is distant only two days by rail
from I'ekiu. lump silver, the same cum-
i brous currency that lias been used for
centuries, is still employed. It is cut
into small pieces by hammer and chis
el. Every towu and village has Its
own weights and scales, aud there is
no pretense at uniformity."

The Generous Arab.
"One day when in our wandering!
we happened to camp near some roll
Ing country the sheik and I rode off
in search of gazelles." says a traveler
in Arabia. "We found a large herd,
and, being mounted on good horses, we
managed to ride them down, throwing
ourselves off our horses for the shot,
then galloping on again. We killed sis
gazelles in about au hour and rode
back to camp with enough meat for a
big feast. It is the custom that who
ever kills game should provide a feast
for all bis frieuds. On the occasion of
these feasts i uotlced thai there was
always u crowd of hangers-on waiting
at the end for a scrap of food, half
starved looking boys ami ragged men.
These were orphans whose parents
had been killed or men whose herds
had beeu 'lifted by other Arabs, and
as n result they were destitute, for the
law of the Hedouin is 'survival of the
fittest in its strictest sense. Hut the
sheik supplied food liberally, and I
noticed that he always looked after
the poor and fed the hungry."

he kept the team a month the bill
would he paid promptly ou presenta

what he was about aud concluded it
was his business aud not theirs. At
stable Xo. 1! there was equal freedom
from anxiety. The attorney came
there, left the team and went away,
saying nothing. They put the horse
into a stall and 'chalked it down" ou
the ollice slate, knowing him to be a
business man who paid cash. Discov

presented with two bills, oue for eight

but it cured him of being absentmind

The Coffee Cup In Persia.
The expression "to give a cup of
coffee" has in Persia a somewhat omi
nous significance. This is due to the
fact that the coffee cup is one recog
nized medium for conveying poisou.
Some years ago the governor of Aspa
dana. having long lieen at daggers
drawn with the chief of a powerful
mountain tribe, determined in this
way to put an end to all trouble. He
professed to entertain a great degree
of friendship and esteem for the chief
tain and invited him to visit him at his
palace. The chief unsuspiciously came,
accompanied by his two young sons.
For a week they were royally enter
tained. Hut at last one morning when
the chief came into his host's presence
he was coldly received, and an attend
ant soon stepped forward with a single
cup of coffee in his band, which he of
fered to the guest. The latter could
not fail to understand that he was
doomed. Preferring, however, steel to
poison, he declined the cup and was
thereupon, at a signal from his host,
stabbed to death.
Wonder of Blood Transfusion.
There is nothing more dramatic in

A Pearl Stringer's Keen Eye.
The pearl stringer's eye becomes
practiced iu the detection of real and
imitation pearls. One glance is usually
sutlicieiit. A genuine pearl has a hard
look. It presents a sort of shell-like
surface with au indescribable blush.
This blush is so cleverly counterfeited
in was imitations that even those who
-re accustomed to handling pearls day
after day are likely to be deceived
In one of the large Xew York jew
elry houses last winter a customer
purchased a hand painted miniature
set in a frame of imitation pearls.
Ou examination it was found that sev
eral of the pearls had been slightly
defaced, and the whole lliiim was sent
to the manufacturing rooms for re
pairs. Uy chance it came under the
eye of one of the pearl stringers, who
instantly detected four genuine pearls
in the circle of imitation ones about
the picture. The frame had passed
through a dozen expert hands with
out any one's noticing the presence
of real pearls. Xo one could account
for their Immiiu there. If they had not
been detected the purchaser of the
frame would have had a bargain, for
the four ueuuiiie pearls were worth
many tiuie more than the picture
and the rest nt" its setting. Xew York

Spirit of Young America.
A teacher in a Philadelphia public
school narrated the following account
of how au aspiring younu Italian citi
zen was beginning to show the effects
of an American environment. The
story, which was told at a teachers as
sociation meeting, runs something like
this:
Tony had been away from school
about a week, and when he showed up
one morning the teacher asked him
where he had been.
"I mil away." said Tony.
"Kan away! What did you do that
for?" askinl the teacher.
"My father was going to lick nie. so
1 thought IM run away." wax the re
ply. The teacher by further questioning
brought out the fact that Tony for
some trilling dereliction had beeu
threatened with a Inviting aud had
stayed away from home the best part
of a wtsk.
"Itut your father has the right to
whip you." said the teacher.
"Yes, he may." added Tony, "but I
was bom in this country, and I don't
waut no foreigners to lick me." Pitts

Costa Rican Volcanoes.
Costa Itica has been subject to earth
quakes for many years. Part of the
republic is exceedingly mountainous,
aud in this part of the country there,
are more than a score of volcanoes,
some of them dead, but a few that
break out periodically. There are
three or four that have been active
for more than a century. Some of
these are near Sail Jose, the capital.
Costa Iticans have always believed that
earthquakes, which the country has ex
perienced ever since it was first set
tied by Spanish adventurers, wero
caused) by the volcanoes. There Is
good grouud for this belief, because it
has been noticed that earthquakes of
more or less intensity followed the ac
tivity of these volcanoes. If the vol
canic eruptions were violent the mirth
quakes were correspondingly severe.

they should hurry, but the prelate's
appeal to his watch convinced him
that they had ample time. They ar
rived to see the train for Dublin dis
