MEMORIES OF MARK TWAIN. Two Letters the Humorist Wrote to Henry Watterson. "Mark Twain An Intimate Mem ory," is ihe title of nenry Wntterson's article about tils cousin ns it appears In the American Magazine. Mr. Wat terson recites the following Incident aa being typical of Mark Twain's whim sical point of view: "Ills mind turned ever to the droll. Once in London I was living with my family at 103 Mount street. Between 103 and 102 there was the parochial workhouse quite n long and imposing building. One evening, upon coming In from an outing. I found a letter he bad written on the sitting room table and left with ids card. lie spoke of the shock he had received upon find ing that next to 102 presumably 103 was the workhouse. lie bad loved me. but bad always feared that I would end by disgracing the family be ing hanged, or something but the work'us,' that was beyond him; he bad not thought it would come to that And so on through pages of horseplay, bis relief on ascertaining the truth and learning his mistake, bis regret at not finding me nt home, closing with n dinner invitation. Once at Ge nevn. in Switzerland, I received a long, overflowing letter, full of buoyant odd ities, written from London. Two or three hours later came a telegram: 'Burn letter. Blot it from your mem ory. Susie Is dead.' " Susie was Mrs. Clemens. TURKISH WOMEN. They Are Curiously Fastidious In Some of Their Ways. The habits of" the Turkish women of Constantinople are wonderfully fastidi ous. For Instance, when they wash their hands at a tap from which water runs into a marble basin the fair ones will let the water run until a servant shuts it off. inasmuch as to do this themselves would render them "an door, as the handle would be unclean. One of these fastidious women was not long ago talking to a small niece who had Just received a present of a doll from Paris. By and by the child laid the doll In the lady's lap. Sua was horrified and ordered the child to taku it away. As the little girl would not move It and no servant was near and the lady would be defiled by touch ing a doll that bad been brought from abroad, the only resource left her was to jump up and let the doll fall. It broke in pieces. Another Turkish woman would not open a letter coming by post, but re quired a servant to break the seal and hold the missive near her that it might be read; also should her handkerchief fall to the ground It was immediately destroyed or given away, so that she might not again use it Exchange. A Leading Citizen. "Didn't you tell me Faro Joe was one of the leading citizens of Crimson Gulchr "Well." answered Broncho Bob. "he was. When he left town he led the vigilance committee by a quarter of a mile clean to the next county." Washington Star. Didn't Mean It That Way. Willie I say. ma, if dad was to die would he go to heaven?

The Spear and Bow and Poisoned Ar rows Their Chief Weapons. Our kuowledge of the pygmies of New Guinea shows that in habit they are nomadic, nowhere tilling the ground, but depending for their living entirely on their skill in bunting and fishing. Their chief weapon is the bow. tbeir arrows being generally J poisoned cither with the famous upas or some other similar vegetable poison, in some cases a species of strychnine. They also mako use of the spear and an ingenious form of spring gun which is common to numerous other forest tribes. This Is formed by set ting a flattened bamboo spear attached to a bent sapling, which is fastened to a trigger in such a way that it Is re leased by the passerby stumbling against an invisible string stretched across a game track. These spears are really set for game, and to the initi ated they are obvious enough, as their presence Is always indicated by cer tain well known signs, such as a broken off twig placed In a cleft stick. In war these signs are removed, the removal being equivalent to the mov ing of buoys in a mined channel The wounds inflicted by these hardened bamboo spears are necessarily serious. The mental qualities of the Negritos are extremely undeveloped, none of them being able to express a higher numerical idea than three, but all ob servers who "have met them unite in saying that they arc a merry little peo ple, with great Ideas of hospitality when their confidence has bee gained and provided they have not been pre viously ill treated. They are not can nibals and arc generally monogamous. London Times. LIGHTNING FLASHES. Many Things Concerning Them That Science Cannot Fathom. A young girl In charge of two chil dren, sheltering under a tree onChlsle hcrst common, was struck by light ning and killed one of those dreadful Instances of the sort of personal touch with which lightning seems to select its victim, for. though one child Is re ported to have been thrown down, nei ther apparently was Injured. There are many instances, of course, of this strange selection, due in most cases probably to some accident of clothing. There Is a well remembered case which happened some years ago at Cam bridge, when three young men were walking across an open space of ground, and the middle one of the three was struck dead, while the oth ers were untouched. The inquest showed that the young man who was killed had nails in his boots, whereas the others were wearing boating shoes. The phenomena of thunderstorms have been the subject of much study in America. But if thunderstorms can be classified, they are still not thor oughly understood. We do not yet know what are the exact conditions which lead to a discharge of electricity In the form of a lightning flash from cloud to cloud or from cloud to earth. We cannot reproduce thunder and lightning in a laboratory. We do not know what is the origin of the elec trification manifested in a storm. London Spectator. Knew the Outcome.

Of certain aspects of Liberia Cap tain Bralthwaite Wallis writes In the Geographical Journal: "The popula tion of Jane Is large, almost untouched by the so called civilization on the coast It Is typical of western Africa. The men have fine physiques and very black skins, and most of them plait then hair, which Is worn about six Inches to eight Inches long. They ap peared to be well armed with rifles, guns, spears and swords. While In this town I saw even slaves, who were held by the leg in wooden stocks. They had been In that position for some months. One of them told me through the Interpreter that he had been kept thus for two years. He was a man of poor physique, and a pur chaser could not therefore be easily found for him. "That night, while asleep in my little hut in the town, I was awakened by hearing a gentle chorus of wom en's voices singing some yards away. After a few minutes the chorus ceased and a single voice began. In Bande, an African song. The voice was soft and melodious, and the tune was fas cinating and weird and harmonized with the wild environment to which it belonged. After a few lines the other singers joined, and the result . ! M --- "t wiu niusi. uiirmjuve uuu uvauuiiu, containing as it did such delicate har mony with excellent taste. During the years I have been In Africa I do not remember having heard anything quite like this singing before, and I shall never forget It The interpreter told me the next morning that the song was to the good spirits, asking them to guard and protect the white man and his followers on their jour ney." Another Incident: "A few yards out side the first stockade I noticed an empty grave, the newly turned earth of which showed it had been recently dug. This grave, it appeared, had been used for the purpose of burying a man alive as a sacrifice, and I was informed In a most matter of fact way and as If the occurrence was quite an ordinary one that the un fortunate victim's body had lately been exhumed to obtain certain por tions for the purpose of manufactur ing fetish medicines." THE LION'S HEAD. Origin of Its Use as a Decoration Fer Fountains. "The sun glows in the Lion," says Seneca, meaning that when the sun enters the sign of Leo at the summer solstice the highest temperature of the year is experienced. We may say, on the other hand, that the Babylonian astrologers thousands of years ago placed the king of beasts, the fiery and ferocious lion. In that part of the zo diac which the sun enters at the sum mer solstice. The constellation whlch.ls called Leo bears very little resemblance to the outline of a lion. Probably the name was originally applied only to its prin cipal star, Regains. It Is to this con stellation in the zodiac that we owe the countless water spewing lions' heads which are found in ancient and modern fountains, because in the latter part of July, while the sun Is still In the sign of Leo. tbeiKHe Is at its high est level. Furthermore, the lion's head with widely open jaws Istln Itself very suit able for the mouth." of a fountain or waterspout. This decorative motif was employed universally throughout the Greco-Roman world. Lions' heads are found used in this way at Athens, Ephe sus. Olympia, Agrigentum and count less other places. It Is not quite cer tain that this employment of the lion's head originated in Egypt. Curtius de scribes an Assyrian bas-relief from Balran showing water-streaming from a ring shaped vessel. A lion stands as If on guard on eltberslde of the foun tain. The water clock, which was used in judicial proceedings, had the form of a Hon and a name which means the guardian of the stream. Hence the idea of protection may have been the origin of the association of lions with fountains, and this custom may have originated in Asia. Scientific Ameri can. The Rival Roses. Perhaps the two most famous flow ers in history arc associated with the Temple gardens, for, according to tra dition, it was in the gardens In 1430 that the two leaders plucked the red and white roses which became the badges of the rival houses of Lancas ter and York. The gardens were for centuries famous for their roses. Among their floral curiosities one finds in the accounts for 1700 an expendi ture on two pcrlmlc box trees and won ders what a perimlc tree is until one remembers the custom of trimming box trees In a symmetrical or "perl metric" fashion. London Chronicle. Beginning at the Foundation.

CIPE Tickling the Debtors. John Barrett was only twenty-seven years old when President Cleveland appointed him minister to Slam. The first Important task which confronted the youthful envoy was to press a claim against the Siamese government for $1,000,000. Experienced ambassa dors warned him against using threats In obtaining the money. "Be cunning; avoid arrogance," they said. "That Is." responded Mr. Barrett, "you favor tickling with a straw to pricking with a bayonet" The statesmen nodded assent When the young minister bad finally succeeded In collecting the claim-the ambassadors asked In astonishment "How did you accomplish It?" "By tickling," explained Barrett "I had to tickle them almost to death, though, before they agreed to pay it" London's Town Hall. The guildhall is an Important public building in London, which may be re garded as the town hall, and Is the place of assembly of several courts, as the court of common council, the court of aldermen, the chamberlain's court and a police court presided over by one of the aldermen. The construction of the building was begun In 1411. It was partially destroyed in the great fire of 1GG0. butiwas soon restored, and in 17S9 It was -altered to Its present form. The hall proper Is 153 feet in length. 48 in breadth and 55 In height It has been famous for centuries for the magnificence of Its civic feasts. The first time it was used for this purpose was in 1500. when Sir John Shaw, goldsmith, who bad been knighted on the field of Boswortb, first gave here the lord mayor's feast uatea and Savings Banks. Though Duncan of Duthwell was the founder of our first savings bank, the first suggestion came from Daniel De foe. When he found himself compelled to hide from the bailiffs in a small Bristol Inn he turned his enforced leisure and financial failure to account by writing the "Essay on Projects." it deals with savings banks, friendly so cieties. Insurance, academies and bank rupts. On all these subjects Defoe of fers from his fertile brain suggestions that startle the reader by their modern ring. On bankrupts and savings banks Defoe naturally wrote with feeling. During his stay in Bristol be was known as "the Sunday gentleman." owing to his natural unwillingness to take the air except on that day of the week which deprived bailiffs of their sting. London Chronicle. A Cup of Sugar. A large china cup with a handle was shoved across the counter and a child's voice said.

A Napoleonic Gift That Embarrassed Jerome Banaparto. Previous to bis elevation to the sov ereignty Jeiome Bonaparte had formed a friendship with some young authors at that time In vogue for their wit and reckless gayety. On the evening after his nomination to the crown of West phalia he met two of his jovial com panions just as be was leaving the theater. "My dear fellows." said he, "I am delighted to see you. I suppose you know that I have been created king of Westphalia?' "Yes. fire, and permit us to be among the first" "Eh, what? You are ceremonious, me thinks. That might pass were I sur rounded by my court, but at present away with form and let us be off to supper." Upon this Jerome took bis friends to one of the best restaurants In the Palais Royal. The three chatted and laughed and said and did a thousand of tboso foolish things which when un premeditated are so delightful. It may be supposed that the conversation was not kept up without drinking. When the wine they had drunk began to take effect, "My good friends." said Jerome, "why should we quit each other? If you approve of my proposal you shall accompany me. You, C, shall be my secretary. As for you. P., who are fond of books, I appoint you my libra rian." The arrangement was accept ed and ratified over a fresh bottle of champagne. At length the party began to think of leaving and accordingly called for the bill. Jerome produced his purse, but the king of Westphalia could only find 2 louts, which formed but a small portion of 200 francs, the amount of the bllL The new dignitaries by club bing their wealth coujd only muster about 3 francs. What was to be done? At 1 o'clock In the morning where could resources be found? They determined to send for the master of the house and ac quaint blm how matters stood. He seemed to take the frolic In good part and merely requested to know their names, naving told him, the restau rateur set his customers down as sharpers and threatened to send for the commissary of police. This alarm- ed Jerome, who, seeing that the res taurateur doubted them, handed over his watch In payment This watch had been a present from Napoleon, and on the back was the emperor's cipher in brilliants. On examining the watch the restau rateur concluded that It had been stolen and took It to the commissary of police. The latter, recognizing the Imperial cipher, ran with it to the pre fect The prefect flew to the minister of the interior, and be In turn went to the emperor at St Cloud. Next morn ing the Moniteur contained an ordi nance in which Jerome was ordered to Westphalia at once and prohibited from conferring any appointments till his arrival at his capital. T.

The worst thing that can hap pen to our teeth Is for them not to have enough to do. It Is the worst thing that can happen to us also. Spir itualized and cultured as we have be come, we still fight the battle of life with our teeth, though we no longer chew our enemies' ears or throats. Bone cored, enamel coated and rock ribbed as the bills, our teeth are more absolutely under our control than almost any other structure of the body. Neglect them and they decay at once. Give them proper attention and they will go on repairing themselves for forty, fifty, sixty years. Give children plenty of roughening food to chew, and they will get the pearly vigor of the savage tooth with the endurance of the Caucasian's. Above all, the food should be of such a character as to give exercise and massage to the gums. Part of this can be given by plenty of coarse food in addition to real food not as a substi tute for it and part by Intentional and vigorous friction with the toothbrush. To brush the gums well Is half the value of brushing the teeth. Keep the mouth and gums strictly clean, and the teeth will take care of themselves. There are thirty-three dis tinct named and labeled sorts of bacilli or bugs in our mouths as normal parlor boarders, but they'll behave with per fect propriety unless you give them carrion to get drunk on.

Falling Robe That Resulted In a Most Graceful Attitude. Harry Furnlss tells a story of Mary Anderson's Initial season In London. "Her first appearance was as Perdlta," be says In the Strand Magazine, "and I thought her the most charming fig ure I had ever seen on the stage. "She kindly posed for me after a performance at the Lyceum, and when she asked roe the position I would like her to take I mentioned one she had assumed In the second act. in which she stood holding the drapery in her hand, which was resting on her hip. Do you really mean that?' she asked. 'Yes; that attitude struck me as the most artistic of ail your graceful move ments.' 'Well. she said, 'as a matter of fact, my robes bad come unfastened and were falling off, and I was holding them on. but I shall now purposely make them slip in the same way. And that pose was repeated nightly during the run of the play. "On the first night at the Lyceum she was moved In the great scene by the rough, picturesque lover, played on that occasion by handsome Jack Barnes. As she rose to her feet it was perceived, to the delight of us all. but to the discomfiture of the actors, that Mr. Barnes wig had caught In the shoulder clasp of Perdlta and rose from his head with her and further more refused to be detached for some time. "Even this popular actress could not escape the chaff of the gods. She was playing Galatea in Sir W. S. Gil bert's play and a charming Galatea she made when. In the critical scene in which she appeals to the gods to enable her to bring Pygmalion ana Cynlsca together again, the actress held up her arms and, unconsciously looking up nt the gallery, cried out: " The gods will help me!'

Some years ago the minister of edu cation In St. Petersburg was appealed to by telegraph for a cook, to be hur ried to Moscow. The operator got his dashes and dots mixed, but by next train a man arrived and was ceremoni ously conducted to the university, where he was Introduced to the assem bled faculty and students as the new professor In history. The unhappy fellow protested that, while he might Im a professor of pots and pans, he knew nothing about his- tory. But in Russian official life It Is V harder far to correct an Terror than to make one, so for several years the cook has held his professorship, though no one attends his lectures. Another laughable story comes from the Suwalky school for boys. A door keeper there who could scarcely read or write had grown so untidy and slow that be was no longer useful, but as the headmaster did not want to set him adrift be promoted him to a teach er's post and bad him transferred to u distant school. He. too, will be a pro fessor some day. Moscow Letter In New York World. Didn't Want It Flattened. This story is told of Jerome K.
