The following bit of interesting informa- tion appeared in a late number of the Cen- tralia (Mo.) Guard "It may, perhaps, be a matter of news to some that the 'editor of the Guard was 50 yeare of age Nov. 20, and his wife 20 Jan. 2." A musician named Sa.roui, of Parkers- burg, W.

It is, in its simplicity, a zither played with keys, and it is said to be a "revolution in the way of a musical instrument." Colored shoes for men are to be very 1 fashionable this coming spring and summer, and shoe manufacturers and dea,lers are making extensivepreparations based on this anticipation.

About one hundred women leave everyeyear to marry, and each has $37,500 dowry. Yet the number never falls below 300.

A man weighs less when the barometer is high, notwithstanding the fact that the atmosphheric pleasure' on him is more than when the barometer its low. As the pres- sure of air of an ordinary sized man is about, 'fifteen tons, the rise of the iner- cury from twenty-nine to thirty-one inches adds about, one ton to the load he has to carry. Various papers are giving a list of the eight longest words in the language as fol- lows : Philoprogentiveness, incomprehen- sibleness, disproportionableness, transsub- eta.ntionableuess, suticonstitutionalist, hon- orifibilitudinity,yelocipedestrianastical and proantionsubstantionist. But the last. four are not found in the best diction - erica. A popular impression prevails that an employer is forced by law to give a written character of testimonial to a, domestic ser- vant on the termination of the latter's sec - vices., This idea has been dispelled, at any rate, so far as England is concerned, by •Et decision just rendered by the High Court of Justice in London, which declares that the employer is under ( no such obligation whatsoever. In former times live oak was largely used in naval construction, and warships y had their frames and planking principally of this wood, so that a web of historical senti- ment and romance has been woven about the tree. The wood is still used to a con- siderable extent in building ships, but its value has increased largely on account of the diminished quantity now available. A physician of New York whose recrea- tions consist in the study of etching and of certain delicately wrought curios, holds technical knowledge of any one .art,- or science will aid one in any, other.

German staff officers have written quite freely about the matter, principally holding the view that the tower would afford a fine target. Some French officers agree with this view ; others say the forts around the city would keep the tower out of range, while it would afford an excellent post for observation. From it the operations of an enemy could be observed for a radius of forty-four miles. The winter manceuvers inaugurated by the military authorities at St. Petersburg have DOW been introduced by thc German and Austrian war departments, with the object of keeping pace with Russia, March- ing exercise has been taking place in Transylvania at a time when the thermom- eter marked nearly 50, degrees Fahrenheit below freezing point, and the result has been that in one infantry regiinent alone 114 men have had their faces, feet and hands so seriously frostbitten as to make it necessary to send them to the hospital. Moreover, it is proposed that troops of. all arms should camp in tents in the open duce ingthe severest frost.

They somethnes live forty to sixty years in a Northern climete before they flower. They are easily growl) and kept. and when of some size are decidedly ornamental on the lawii or near a building. The flower stem usually rises to 25 or 35 feet in height and is 4 to 6 inches in diameter. The lower half of the distance is naked, then the tufts or urnbrels appear, some 20 or so llower3 itt an umbrel. In color they are a sort of yellowisti green. There is no great beauty in the flower, but it is an interesting fact to know that deer taking all these years to prepare itself, the plant dies after the flower is gone. Items for Illoine-Reeping Boat es. A new teapot is made of brown earthen- ware or of porcelain. Its novelty is the porcelain "drip" of perforated ware which fits inside the teapot below the cover.

He romps on the meadows so green Where buttercups nod to the emu And daisies all blooming are seen, And frolicsome leverets run; There often he plucks the wild flowers Nor thinks of the trouble of men ; So happy and joy ful the hours, What care dues a young 'add ie ken? The loud piping song of the thrush, The sky•lark's sweet votce in the air, The litinet's wee tune in the bush, The nightingale's music 80 clear - All these are the joys of the young, And these and eke others beside; And many a poet hath suns Of boyhood, when tempted and tried. Alas ! but all's vanity hero; The pleasures of youth pass away, And manhood'e rough pathways appear, And age travels on to deoay ; But man has a soul that will live Which Death cannot even destroy - While boyhood short pleasures can give Heaven grants us perpetual joy. -John P.owland. It Was a Pretty Foot. Gath " writes the Cincinnati Enquirer : The funniest incident of my trip was in a sleeping -ear. It was in the morning, when most of the passengers had got out of their berths, and only a few sets of curtain,' were drawn tightly in front of still slumber- ous persors. Suddenly a foot was thrust out between two curtains. It was small white and symmetrical -not more than a feminine No. 3 -end the merest bit of ankle in sight looked soft and fine. The men glanced at it from the corners of their wicked eyes. The women deprecated the exposure. Then a bold, brazen fellow weut right straight to the pretty foot, 4rabbed the ankle, and flung the whoTe member rudely into the berth. " wouldn't treat his bride so," said a woman close by. "15 must be his sister." Then the head of a tea -year-old urchin emeigeel where the foot had been, and a sleepy, angry, boyish voice said "Look here, Sam, you let me alone. Next time you ketch a hold of my foot that way I'll kick the gizzerd out of you." There was a subeidence of sentimental in- terest and a risibility of mirth. 'At 11:30 o'olock at night the telephone in my house rang. I was up and answered She call. "'Is this Dr. Depew's house?' was asked. " 'Yes,' I replied. "'Is hdead ?' " '(o.'

Their First Experience With Bananas. A young couple, said to have come from the vicinity of Tunkhannock, Pennsylvania, caus“d considerable merriment on the streets Saturday afternoon. They were evidently on their wedding tour, and nothing was too good for Popsy and her enamoured liege. They stopped at a fruit stand on Court Street, and Popsy's fancy turned lightly from thoughts of love to a stalk of bananas swaying in the breeze. She signified a wish to know what the "queer looking things" were, and the attentive male fraction of the matrimonial entity promptly buttonholed the proprietor. Chinese Food Novelties.

There may found in the bills of fare of the latter people addled eggs, fat grubs, caterpillars, sharks' fins, rats, dogs, Indian birds' nests, and - the finest of all there delicacies-trepang. What is trepangl? Trepang, or teipang, is a, collective name by which a considerable number of species of most curious sea animals are designated; they are also known as Bea oilers, sea cu- cumber, in French as cornichons de mer, and scientifically as holothurias. They are among the most sluggish of animals. Only the fixed or stationary animals are slower than the holothurias. They lie like gray, brown or black leather pipes or cylinders on the bottom of the sea. One might watch them half a day long, if he had no thing -better to do, and hardly see them change their position, and they rarely move more than a foot or two in several hours. Their class relatives, the piny skinned ani- mals, or echinoderms, are much more active. A sea urchin or starfish is able to get away from a spot quite nimbly, and the serpent stars, the most active members of the whole order, are capable of using their long, slender, many jointed arms as lep and are as quick alert as crabs. -Popular Science biLanthlz. " What's them ?" he demanded, pointing' to the yellow fruit. " Thoce are bananas," replied the dealer. "Good to eat?" continued the benedict. " Yes ; they are considered very fine," was the reply. Negotiations folleired, and after a little dickering two were secured, The pair re- gurded their purchase with no little curios- ity. A big buck -horn knife was brought from the depths of " Dicky's " pocket, and he proceeded to make u. vigorous onslaught on his prize. " Wnat an awful big core they've got," murmured Popsy, tearing off part of the skin. ' "The blame thing is pretty much all core," replied Dicky, cesting a sidelong look of disgust at his partially flayed trophy. By thie time both had succeeded in retnoy- iug the skin and throwing the inside away. Popsy daintily ventured to try her pearly ineisors on tha tough rind, Dicky watching the manoeuvre solicitously. • "How do you like it ?" he asked. " It's bitterer 'an boneset," replied Popsy, with a wry face. •" Bitterer an boneset and tough as a stoga trace. What in the world did you ever go and buy those nasty things for ? ' Dicky apologized, explaining that he did not know what they were, and with a mut- ual vow not to invest another cent in strange products, they threw the limp rind into the gutter and proceeded on.

"As good a piece of advice as I could give a young man everting in business," said an old and successful merchant, "would be to get his customers' names right. Of course, everybody means to do this, but I don't think everybody attaches to it its full ime porta.nce. The fact is that almost every man is proud of his name, whatever it may be, and he dislikes to see it ntiospelled or incorrectly written. There are plenty of names which sound alike, but which vary in the spelling, perhaps by only a single letter; tend, too, in taking a man's name it is not so difficult as one might imagine to make a mistake in the initials, for there are letters which sound very much alike. When you get a new customer get his tame right to utart with. No man likes to receive a pack- age or a bill or a communication of an, sort with his name misspelled ; however moiern and good-natured he may be, he is pretty sure to be annoyed by it.' Cattle in Texas. Mr. Richard Harding Davis, in his chap- ter on "Ranch Life in Texas," says that no ranch -owner, whether he has fifty thousand or five hundred head of cattle, will ever at- tempt to help one that may be ailing or dying; To a visitor who has been Wight the value of "three acres and a cow "this seems extravagant and unfeeling; but the ranchmen declare it is neelese to try and save a starving or sick animal, and also that it is not worth the trouble, there are so many more.
