It is not cult to imagine why their owner holds DO hatter rank; dull and vain girls do not usually lead their dosses. Her next neighbor, too, *ears shebby kid boots, with high beets trodden to one side, and she must have forgotten her overshoes this morning, for the boots are wet through, A little further up the line a daintily formed and elegantly shod. foot taps the door so nervously one feels sure its possessor dose not know her lesson as she ought, and is wondering what question ahe will gran- entiy,heve to:inewer. Her neighbor's feet, • large, Well -formed end comfortably clad, rest firmly and serenely on the floor and sug- gest no such mental anilety. Glancing further up the rovethe eye ese , counters an interesting variety stout boots, thin boots, shabby boots, showy boots, high heels, low heels, no heels; stumpy feet, slender feet, trim feet, bunchy feet. There is a girl with Erste-toed number s sixes, and a girl with , shiny patent -leather - tipped threes. There is a pair of purplish, worn bronze dancing shoes—party finery being used up at school There is a par of laced boots with trail- ingehosostrioge, and a pair of button boots with mealy hall thi buttons gone, and goodly proportion of the remainder hanging by a thread. - There is & pair of elaborate tan -colored - slippers with ribbon bows, .whose owner „inset have worn rubber boots and brought I, her slippers in a parcel.

She is a notable scholar, and there little doubt that next summer those sturdy feet of hers Will mount the platform steadily and gracefully when she delivers her valedictory. • F, Preference of Birds for Drab Nests. Dr. C. a Abbott says that in experi- menting on the intelligence of birds, be placed le number of pieces of woollen yarn, red, yellow, green, purple and gray in color, near a tree in which a couple of Baltimore L"elen were building their nest,. The pieces ea'ese all exactly alike except in color. There was an equal number of threads of each color, the red and yellow being purposely placed on top. The birds chose only the duller colors, taking all of the gray and & few threads of the purple when the nest was nearly done. Not a single thread of the red or bright yellow was touched, the birds seeming to instinctively know that such loud colors would make their domicile too.conspicumm. Again he experimented by girdlingthe branches upon which nests were located, causing the leaves to shrivel andfiblow away. Although they had laki their egg., the birds invariably left their nests. If the nests con- tained young when the leaves dried up, notwithetanding the exposure, they would feed the little ones until they were able to take care of themselves. • Circus or Funeral. The woman who loves to go to funerals has a kindred spirit in Aunt Polly," who lives in Vermont, according to a veracious ehronioler in the Boston Globe. Barnurn's circus had come to the next town, and Aunt Polly, who had never seen an elephant, had been telling for some weeks how she "dad just long to go to the show." On the eventful morning, therefore, her married son, Josh, told her to be ready at one O'clock, and he would "hennas up and take her over. " Well, now," exclaimed Aunt Polly,vrith unexpeoted hesitation, I don't know 'about that. I want to see the show awfully bad, but you see, Deacon Perkins' funeral comes oto -day, and I don't just know which I'd enjoy the most. There'll be lots of folks there, and besides I may live fill Barnum comes again, but this is the only funeral Deacon Perkins will ever have. "-1-• guess, Josh," she conoluded, have a better time at the funeral than at the circus." And Aunt Polly went to the funeral.— Youth's Companion. 4 THE MR BRAKE - 401400444.44 4 Now Um Iwrohtion was Suggeastedi sit! it - Toting llltochanio. ' The airibrake WA& a. creature of George Westinghouse's youth ; he had invented it before he wet 21 year of age, andnearlya quarter of a century has passed since he saw his inveotion applied with, succeee to a Tail - way train. ' It has gone upon record as one . of the great achievements. . .

His train was brought, to a stande still, and they told him that a collision had occurred, and them it seemed to him that it should be possible to invent some mechani- cal appliance which iwonia give an engineer command ,ot a train such as he did not pos- sess in the use of the throttle and ..ehe re - ,t' versing lever. lie tinted this idea over in his mind, and, being skilful with his hands and having the capacity of the inventor, he ceenetructed in a litt e while the first miidel of the air brake. • It happexied that not long afterward he was in Ohicago, and , e met an inventor who thought that to him had come the inspira- tion for theperfect brake, and had such faiti h in this nspiration that he had worked a out and, had soured patents' for his de - Aga, • Westinghouse said: "I, too, have a scheme for a railway brake which wilt en- eble the engineer of a trein to apply the brake from the engine to the laiit car, and will bring re, train to a standstill in far less time than the hand brake now in use lean 1 • "Ah, but," the older inventor "aid, "you cannot make a brake which will do, these . things without infringing upon my patents!? e,an and replied young Wedting- house, and within a year he had done , his work and found hiineelf a famous man.

A young fellow six feet tall and weighing 200 pounds not long ago applied to a Dee troit merchant for a position in his store. What's your name I" inquired the mer- chant. "Little Dickey Robinson," replied the young man, promptly. "What!" exclaimed the merchant in astonashment, as he surveyed his propor- tions. "Little Dickey Robinson," was the reply, this time several tomes louder. It made the merchant half angry. What in thunder dohs a great big fellow like you mean by giving such a name as that? he asked indignantly. , "Haven't you cut loose from your mother's apron strings yet?" The fellow's temper was admirable, and he wasafter s job besides. "1 give such a name as that, sir," he, said, because that is my name, and if you've got a man in this house that thinks he can Iiok me,. or dares to make fun of that ohm, trot him out" The merchant began to smooth him down and ask for an axplanation. "It's this why„""he sok; .quite good na- turedly, " my mother's menden mune was Little, my father's name was Robinson, and his mother's maiden name was Dickey. They wanted me to have the family Darnel and so I'm little Little Dickey Robinson." The explanation was eminently satisfac- tory, so was the young man 'and he's going to work aoon. The Usual Excuse. Two ladies who had not seen midi other for years recently met on the street. They recognized each other after a time and their recognition was cordial. "So delighted to see you kgain. you are scarcely altered.' "So glad, and how little changed you are. Why, how long is it since we met t" About ten years. ' " And why Wive you never been to see me ?"

The Revival of Spinning. • The ancient and <honorable extol spinning is to be revived, says the Washington Post, in order that the fair women of society may find a new incentive to living in •intitating the thrift which to their grandfathers was subject of such genuine pride. A pretty woman seated at a spinning wtieel twisting the fax between her fingers", as her perfectly slippered foot keeps the wheel in motion with a gently whirring sound, is always a picture, for it brings the hands and arms into fine play. Thereforit the new fad is to be encouraged, for as it becomes more general, one'e. mind will cease to be haunted with visions of the spinning scene in "Faust," and take ten degreet more pleasure in the private performa,ncet gotten up for the benefit of the select few invited or voluntary callers at an informal afternoon reception. The idea, he undertaking to learn the art of spinning is to weave a small agnate of linen, which, when decorated with a trifling amount of erribroidery,, is then re. serve& for a gift to the nearest and dearett acquaintance.
