Several people passed in quick succession, and one or two stopped. All seemed to on - joy her discomfiture. The eituation became so embarrassing to her that ehe pushed her machine on for half a block and tried again. Then a shabby looking man shuffled up. He saw her predicaineut, but he didn't laugh. He lifted his dilapidated hat politeiy and said : " Can't I help you, miss ?" " Oh, if you'd be so kind," said the s,Orl, almost discouraged by this time. "Please hold the machine steady." He held while she got on. " l'm over so much obliged to you sir," she said gratefully. "Now, if you'll give it a push, I'll be all right." " You haven't got a dime for a feller as is broke have you ? " he asked. " Why, Pin sorry," she said, " but I left my purse at home." "Down you come," he said. "What ! " she said. "A dime, or down you come again !" h irepeated. "But, "Down you come," he said again. "I'm no dude, dein' these here polite things for pretty looks. Fork over a dime." The case was desperate. He was lettin the machine wabble a little, just to show that he meant business. " Conte to my home," she said. " How far" he asked. " Only three blocks." " Then it's got to be a quarter," be as- serted. "Alt right. Give the machine a push and come on." Ile gave it a push and then cried : "Bold on here. Pm no race horee." He ran to the corner, but she was two blocks away on the cross street. " That settles me on the polite act," he :said. " This here sayin? that politeness aPays pays is dead wrong. ItIght Alla and Left Foot. The right arm is always a little larger than the left, but the left foot is almost al- ways larger than the right, presumably be- -cause, while nearly every man uses his right arm to lift a weight or strike a blow, he Almost invariably kicks with his left foot, while the lounger stands on his left leg and lets the right fall easily, because he has learned by experience that this is the best attitude he can assume to pre- vent lassitude and fatigue. This constant bearing of the weight on the left foot makes it wider than the right and it often happens that a man who tries on a shoe on the right foot and, gets a close fit has to discard the shoes altogether because he cannot endure the pain caused by the tightness of the left. If when riding on a etreet car you take the trouble to notice you will see that in laced shoes the gap is much smaller on the right foot than on the left, while with butter, shoes the buttons have to be set back 10 times on the left to once on the rights—Globe-Democrat.

Imst Whiter's Discovery in the Necropolis of ThebeS. On February Oth, a discovery was made M the necropolis of Thebes, second only in importance to the discovery of the royal mummies at Dehr-el-Bahari by M, Marmon) in 1881. .About half a mile from Delueel- Bahari a pit has been found containieg several hundred magnificent mummies. These, like the royal mummies, had evidently been removed from tile tomb and concealed in this receptacle, as a precaution, by the servants of the priests, probably at the same time and for the same reason which causedd, the royal mummies to be placed in the receptacle where they were found by M. Nlaepero. This removal is lem lieved by M. Maspero to have taken place in the reioa of ,A.auputh, son of Shosane of the twenty-second dynasty (circa) 906 AO. The coffins hitherto found all belong to the twenty-first dynasty, and are those of the priests of Re -Arnim and their families. The pit is about 45 feet in depth'at the bot- tom of which are two corridors filled with coffins and treasures of every description. In the lower corner—which as yet has only been explored—it is computed that there are some 200 coffins, and the second corridor is believed to be not less eaten- ive. The ehaft is 45 feet deep, its mouth is about 12 feet in diameter, and it sides are of rough limestone. Ono of M. Grebaut's native assistants, who was superintending the work of hauling up the mummy cases, told me that he had been the first actually to enter the corridor where the mummies and treasures he. The shaft had then been excavated only as deep as the mouth of the corridor, and he crept in on hiselands and knees and stood on what he describes as being like a palace of enchantment. The corridor, he said, is some 10 or 12 feet high arid 9:50 feet long. It runs in a northerly direction from the shaft toward the Theban hill. At the end there is a short corridor branching from it at right angles, and at some height above the floor at the end is the entrance to a second very long corridor full of treasures, which bas been sealed up for the present by M, Grebaut Groups of mummies are placed at inter- vals in families. The number in each group varies from two to six or seven—father, mother and children—and around them, exquisitely arranged, are vases, models of houses, models of dahabiehs, cases and boxes full of ushabits, statuettes and every conceivable treasure of ancient Egypt. Without even a speck of dust upon them, this profusion of treasures had remained ,unlooked at by any eye for nearly 3,000 years. He said that photographs had been taken of the place in its undisturbed state - which he declared to be that of a perfectly kept and well -arranged museum.—Landon A cademy. A Good Deal to Say.

Past Long-Distanee Travelling On the New Work Central,. From the New York Sin's deecriptiole , of the recent great achievement of the N. Y. Central—making a mile a 'minute all the way from New York to Buffalo—the follow- inf. is extiacted : "It is a luxury in which railroad officiale indulge when they make a trip over their own road to travel in a little more style and ,at a little better speed then the public are used to. Third Vice -President IL Walter Webb, of the New York Central and Hud- son River Railroad Company, made Et trip to•dey from New York to Buffalo that not only breaks the record for long-distance running but leaves previous records way out of sight. It has been conclusively demonstrated for the first time that a train cannot only make 00 miles an hour, but it can keep it up for 440 miles at a stretch, without counting the time lost by stops. The trip of 436,e, miles from New York to East Buffalo was madein 439e minutee, with no allowance for stops. If it hadn't been for a hot journal on the locomotive, causing a delay of eight minutes at Fairport, the trip would have been made in as many minutes as there wen) miles, as Mr. Webb had intended. The train had covered the 361 miles from New York to Fairport in 361 minutes under very favorable condi- tions. It had run several minutes ahead of the schedule which General Superintendent Theodore Voorhees prepared. Mr. Voor- hees calculated to bring the train in Buffalo, 440 miles, in 435 minutes, and his calcula- tions were carried out to a dot until they struck the hot box at Fairport. The run of 143 miles from New York to Albany, which was without a stop, was made in 140 minutes. At Albany three minutes and twenty-eight seconds were consumed in changing locomotives. The run from Albany to Syracuse, 148 miles, also without a stop, was covered. in 146 minutes. At Syracuse it took only two and one-half minutes to change locomotives, and the train set out over the 150 mile stretch to East Buffalo. One hun" dred and fifty minutes would have been a fine trip without any stops, but 150 miles in 148 minutes, with a stop of 7 minutes and 50 seconds thrown in for doctoring the loco- motive, is a phenomenal run, and it proves the ability of Engineer Hogan. The actual runuing time for the 150 miles was 140 minutes and 10 seconds. This record means that a continuous speed of 59.52 miles an hour was maintained for the entire distance from New York to Buffalo, making no allowance for stops or slow -downs in order to scoop water from the tracktanlis. Allow- ing for 3 minutes and 28 seconds to change engines at Albany, 2e, minutes for the sante at Syracuse, and 7 minutes and 50 seconds for repairing the hot journal at Fairport, or 13 minutes and 48 seconds in all, the actual running time for the 436e miles was 426 minutes, or 61.44 miles an hour for the entire distance. Is Only Crime. The young woman had secured permission to speak to the good-looking young convict. It was just a feminine fancy—adesire to learn something of Ms story, says the Chicago Tribune. " You don't look like a criminal," she said, abruptly. - He smiled at the rather uncertain-coin- plirnent "1 never did but one criminal thing in my life," he said. " Only one ?" she said, in rather a disap- pointed tone. She had expected to find a man steeped in crime. " Why, your sen- tence is for ten years isn't it ?" . "Yes, miss. I pit it for one criminal act." "What was the cause of that one ?" she inquired, curiously. "Just a whim, miss—a youthful whim," he replied, rather bitterly. "1 thought it manly to carry a revolver." "And you were attacked some night?" she asked quickly. "And you---" He shook his head. "And You're here just for that ?" she said. "Like others, just for that," he returned, quietly. "1 quarrelled with a friend, lost my temper, and —I'm here, miss. That's all." He suddenly turned away and went back to his work. 'Twenty-four Roars Behind Time. "Now, Willie," said Clara, "run out and play," there's a good little boy. I expect Mr. Brindle shortly, and I want to try the effect of my new gown on him."

TILL SAILOR'S The iYord "Snot," ilehat It Means and How We Got Iis All seamen reckon mike or distances by "knots" or nautical miles. To know their speed they let a long line run out from the stern, in which knots are tied, or bits of colored cloth tied on at such distance apart that each space between two knots counts 120th of a mile. Thus 10 knots run out in half a minute means that the ship has moved ahead 10 miles s,n hour. So when we read that a steamship made so many knots or miles from noon to noon'it means a good many more statute miles. A degree at the equator is about 69 1-6 miles (69.17), but as the lines of longitude approach each other going north in the latitude of 40 de grees a mile of longitude is only about 53 statitute miles (53,05), and at 50 degrees,'or on the south side of England, a mile of longitude is only about 44!s miles (44.53). The seaman's distance " knot " is one -six- tieth part of a degree of longitude at the equator, no matter what longitude or lati- tude he is running in. It is 6,086 feet and 84. inches (6086.7), while the common stat- ute mile is 5,280 feet. To find the number of statute miles which the ship has run, we can multiply the lumber of knots or nautical miles it makes by 1.153, cutting off the right-hand three figures for decimals How It Was. "Well, Jack, you seem to be haying a good time since you came ashore." "Ay, ay, sir." "1 saw you at a Sunday School picnic yesterday." " Ay, ay, sir." "And now you are coining out of the dance house, a den of sin." "Ay, ay, sir. Right you are." "But You cannot serve two masters." "Oh, yes, I can. I always have done so. I always ship on a two -master. I don't feel at home on a three -master schooner." Outraged Dignity.

TICE Savings Stamp Bank system, which originated at Frankfort -on -the -Main, in Germany, is becoming quite popular in the United States, particularly in Boston, where it is extensively used by co-operative institutions and building and loan associa- tions. In Detroit the system has also been introduced and grows in favor among the 'working classes, to whom it specially ap- peals. °The system and its working are thus described by the Boston Herald: Adhesive stamps, about the size and form of postage stamps, are sold by agents, and with them is issaed a stamp -book with its pages divided into 20 squares, and a full page of stamps is received at the offiee of the company that issued the stamp as $1. In most associations and banks using them, the $1 of stamps is credited exactly as $1)1 cash, and receives the same dividend calcu- lated under the same rule. One of the sources of profit to meet the necessary ex- pense of a stamp department is the length of time the peoplesvill retain the stamps be- fore they are deposited for credit. The ex- perieuce of those using stamps the longest shows that from 5 to 7 per cent. of the stamps sold are not presented for redemp- tion. One association in six months sold something over 85,200 stamps'making the receipts over $4,200, and the balance to the account of stamps WRG S. little over $300, which was more than the total charge of ex- pense against the stamp department, includ- ing the 1 per cent. paid to the stamp agentssi The figures from another association show that for the half-year previous to adding the stamp department the average of the new accounts or members added weekly was 13. The average of new accounts added weekly during eix months' use of the stamps was increased to 38 per week, and the de- posits for the same time increased from an average of over $8,000 per week to an aver- age of over $11,000 per week. in addition to the direct good the nickel Ravings stamp system will bring to the association using it, it is one of the most effective method e of teaching the lesson of saving.

There are many 'was of blowing out a candle and there are ways a candle can be placed so that it cannot be easay extin- guished with a puff. The most startling, though, perhaps the most dangerous way of putting out the flame is by 0, quic)o, strong inhalatien of the breath a short distance from the candle. It will appear as if the flame had been literally swallowed. To learn the trick it is first necessary to learn the proper distance from the face to hold the candle, but this can be done after one or two trials. .Another pretty trick with a lighted candle can be done to show the peculiar way air currents will travel. Place the candle on a table and in front of it and a few inches away put an, ordinary bottle. Blow directly at the bottle. It will seem as if you blew right through the ,bottle. A variation can be made by using two bottles instead of one. Place the bottles side by side, about a quar- ter or half an inch apart. Right behind the space between the two bottles place the lighted candle. If the distances are properly adjusted they can be so arranged that it is impossible to blow out the candle by blowing through the spaces between the bottles. There is another trick which is likewise as interesting. Take a, round disk of cardboard, or one of the common tin side shades and hold it between your mouth and the candle. Then blow right at the card and you will find that the flame of the -candle will bend toward you and the cardboard instead of in the direc- tion you are blowing,—St. Louis Post - Dispatch.
