A SHOWER IN THE VILLAGE. las Word Pictuare Somehow Awakens Pleasant Memories. Over the whole village that stillness reigns which only a Sunday in summer can produce. It is nearing the noon hour, and there is a glare of sunlight everywhere. The quiet of the streets seems to be intensified as one approaches the corner where the small stone church stands alone. There is a service going on in. side, and the rolling music of the organ faintly wafted from within reaches the deserted streets outside. Rows of houses with closed blinds and unoccupied door steps meet the eye on every side, and down a narrow lane near at hand a freshly painted barn gleams hotly in the ierce sunshine. Three or four pigeons bave futtered to the roof and are sun ping themselves and softly cooing. Near the door of the oburoh a horse and buggy stand, and now and again the aqmal, bothered by flies, stamps anda plashes in the shallow puddle un der him. A dog trots lazily up the street and stops on his way to chase and bark at a few'belated sparrows. One of the pigeoni stalks with dignity across the roof, and another flutters into the air with a whirring sound and disappears. The sound of the organ has died quite away and only the distant oluoking of a dieterbed hen breaks the quiet. The sun light seems to have taken on a darker shade. A sharp gust of wind swoops up and down the street and rushes through the foliage of the sleeping trees. The spar rows that occupied the street are not in sight, No living thing is to be seen, and the newly painted barn, that a moment ago looked scorched and blistered, seems to have taken on a cooler tinge. The breeze has died quite away, and there is a moment of supreme stillness. Then a dull, sullen sound that seenis like the roar of a distant train steals upon the air. It comes again, and there is no mistaking it-it is thunder. A flurried hen runs across the lane and disappears behind a board just as three large drqps mark the dust covered side. walk. Drops are falling everywhere, and as they increase in number they de crease in size. There is a gentle patter on the sidewalk, en the house tops, through the trees, which becomes more and more hurried until it generates into a steady rush of falling rain. The land scape is almost shpl ort from sight. Siowly and by hardly perceptible Nd grees the steady rush becomes a p::t.r, and the sun, with sudden brilliance, changes each drop to a glistening dia mend. The rain ceases, and the sparkling trees gently shake therselve3 in the sunlight. The shower is orver.--Walter M. Ig giaton in Now Bohemian. The Nose. The nose is intended for breathing, themouth for speaking and eating. Who has ever ceen a horse breathing other wise than through his ncstrils? Minute scientiflo investigation has revealed the fact that the number of people who breathe through their nostrils are be oaming gradually but surely fewer in number. The consequence is that the nostrils decrease in size, while it has been found that the prevailing nose is quite an inferior organ to that of oar forefathers. Doctors at the present time are hre quently asked to operate on noses and to enlarge them. Their owners have fonnd that they do not fulfill their fnuno tlons as well as they used to. It is bo ginning to be feared by ecicntiflo people that it matters grow much worse we shall lose the use of our nusal organs entirely. It is a well known physiological fact that unused musclee and bones gradual ly disappear. li'ish who live in the dark, for instance, or the mole, who re. sides underground, become blind. Thus, i' we cease to use our noses for breath ing, they will cease to exist. They will become supcrfiousl--Pearsou a Weekly. " Sabtle Flartery. A certain reotor in a Suffolk village, wi!o was disliked in the parish, had a urate who was very popular, and, on his leaving, was presented with a testi monial. This excited the envy and wrath of the rector, and, meeting with an old lady one day, he said: "I am nsurprised, Mrs. Bloom, that yeou should have anbsoribed to this testi asonial " "Why, sir," said the old lady, "if you'd bin a-goiu, I'd 'ave subscribed doublel"-Londorn Tit-Birs.

A Well Known Orator Points Out Som, Ilnmorslis Instances. Mr. Joseph Malins, himself a we] known public speaker, gives The Wom an's Signal some amusing instances o the humors of public speaking. It is he thinks, a lack of fluency that canuseo the speaker so often to blunder. Mr Matius has listend to a tempecrance ore tor deploring the fact that a friend re sorts to "the frequent use of the dailJ glass. " He heard a notable lady speakel speak of slum children "brought inti the world with no more idea of homi comfort than the children of negroes ii Africa." One speaker said, "I rise emphatio ally," and another said, "I stand pros trate with astonishment." Yet another feelingly told his audience that it we "not the plnatform speaker, but th4 house to house visitation and the utter ance of the silent word by the eallei w'hich did the most good." The state meants that "the previous speaker's saug gestions were very suggestive" and the another speaker's remarks were "mia calculated to mislead" Mr. Malins also mentions. Then there is the speaker who alwayr misplaces his "h's" and who prays "thal we might be brought to the halter.' There was a fight of fancy when the speaker asked, "Suppose if a moderr balloon dropped upon an uninhabited island, what would the natives say?" The scientifio lecturer said of his eoo-. tug experiment that "all depends upoe the present condition of the body about to be created." A town councilor spoke of "the rivers and streams that abu( on the borough boundaries." Among Mr. Malin's other examples is the speak. er who began with saying, "The propel study of mankind in general is the-the study of mankind in general," where upon an urchin in the audience cried out, "You're a-goln in at the samo hole you came cut at. " Noe less embarrassed was the old gen tleman, who, stumbling through an after dinner speech, swid, "I-I have no more to say, and so--ad so--I'll make a few more remarks." 'the build. er frankly declared he was "more fitted for the soalold than the platform." Sometimes the chairman errs in wel. coming the speaker. A chairman was heard to welcome a speaker as one "who is always with cq, and we wish he would come cfioner. " Kind was the an nouncement that "there will be two more opportunities to hear the lecturer once more." It was when t",e meeting ended that tt!e chairman asked the au dience to "olcea by singing just one verse of the dozology." BLUE PETER IN WHIST. The Signal For Trumps First Employed ' by Lord Ileery BEntinck. There is a house in London which should be the Mecca of all whist players who believe in the new sohool and the "informatian" game, a shrine before which they should bow respectfully as the fountain hced of all that is modern in the game. This is 87 St. James street, and it is within eight of Marl borough House. Its fame rests chiefly on the fact that it was at one time known as Graham's club, and that within its wails Lord Henry Bentinok first introduced the blue peter, or signal for trumpa, which consists in playing a higher card before a lower when no attempt is made to win the trick. That signal has been to the whist players of the world like the pillar of firoe to the children of Israel For more than 40 years it has led them up and down in the wilderness of arbitrary con ventions, but it has never brought them to the promised land of better whist. The blue peter was the introduction to whist $f a purely arbitrary signal or convention, and its seed has spread like a thistle's until it has entirely overrun the old game of "calculation, obseva tion, position and tenace," leaving in its place long saits, American lads, plain suit echoes, four signals and directive discards. These seem to have choked up all the dash, brilliancy and individual ity in car whist players, reducing them all to the same level, not by increainag the abilities of the tyrzo, but by ourtail ing the skill of the expert.--R. Frederio: Foster in Monthly Illastrator. Bone Casings. Mistake is made ~by many "home dressmakers" in putting on bone cas jings drawn very tightly. They should be left loose---ren wrinkled-as the bones when inserted will bring them to their proper arching shape on the id side. Whalebone soaked in warm water an hour before using render them more pliable. Belt ribbon should never be sewed to the underarm seams. Bent hooks should he chosen for fastenings, setting on first a hook and then an eye, and so on alternately down the bodice, and it will never unhook of itself. Waist linings are cut an inch longer than the outside to allev for the stretching of tho outsido material. The extra length is taken up graednly in the soaema Perfectly Natural.
