lim WRITIN0 TABLE.
"Now, I am going to be quite quiet,"
says my lady, "for you are going to write
a letter. You will find everything you
want at my writing table." She says this
with rather a superb air. "If it wabbles,"
she adds moro hastily, "put that little
'where is it' under the front leg. No, it
won't hurt It really. I keep it there for
the purpose. Oh, yes, it has a good many
addresses in It, but I am afraid I haven't
put down most people's numbers correfctly,
so I hardly ever use it. I think it is al
ways better to put a dash instead of a
number when you write to people, don't
yon? Postmen are so intelligent."
If there is everything I want at the
writing table, I might also suggest only,
of course, I wouldn't be such a bruto
that there are several things upon it which
I don't want.
The principal articles on- the table are
as follows: A penwiper, with a group of
silver dachshunds on the top; two vases of
flowers and an "art" pot with bulrushes
in it, a patent contrivance for moistening
stamps, two large pockets of dress pat
terns ("if not returned in ten days, will
be charged 8s. 6d."), a magnifying glass,
a massive silver inkstand with a receptacle
for ink about tbo size of a thimble inside,
a knowing looking cashbos without a
key, a china monkey, two quill pens with
broad points, their feathers stiff with gum,
having been lately used to paste pictures
in a scrapbook; a photograph frame of
untarnishabie metal, a case for post cards,
a case for twine, a case for almanac cards,
a case for stamps (ail these empty) and a
case for Bradshaw (ISSfi).
"Oh, do vouwant some note paper:" mv
lady exclaims in a tone in which natural
surprise mingles with pretty impatience
for not having noticed my want sooner.
"It is in the right hand drawer, "ou open
it with a paper knife look, like this."
"I'm afraid there is no note paper here,"
says my lady, pushing her slender hand,
lace ruffles and all, to the back of the
drawer and pulling out some moro dress
patterns and a quantity of unpaid bills,
"but I'll run and get some from papa's
studv."
"Oh, no; don't."
"Why not?"
"I don't know. Stay here. Show me
again how this drawer opens."
"Nonsense; the drawer is open, and it
is nearly post time. ' '
"tly letter is riot important."
"But you said it was."
"I don't think it is now."
"Oh,"rathc-r quickly, "I think I should
like to get you that note paper."
"And now" laying it before me "you
must write your letter quickly if you want
to get it off in time. And you mustn't
talk any more."
"I won't. But isn't there something
rather burn,jy in this blotting book?"
"Oh, yes that is chocolate. I always
keep it in the pocket of my blotter, and
then my maid doesn't eat it. Take it out
while you are writing, but put it back
again."
"Won't you take it out for me?"
"No. But you may eat Borne of it if you
like."
My lady sits down in a basket chnir it
creaks delightfully and takes her kitten
on her knee. The kitten makes playful
pats at her with his paws, crouches down
on her knee and springs at her hand, fas
toning his claws in her lace. My lady
shakes her hea'l reprovingly, then seizes
him and holds him close to her and pro
tends to kiss him.
"You don't seem to be getting on with
your letter very quickly."
"I can't bear to sit here and see that oat
destroy your ruffles."
"Kitty and I will take another chnir."
"Come cow; that's not friir."
"It's nearly post time. You really must
get on with that letter."
"Well, will you go back and sit in the
basket chair?"
"No."
"I can't writo unless you do."
"That's silly."
"It is true."
"Oil, well."
The basket chair begins to creak again.
I wish I could remember what I was go
ing to say in this letter. I really would
get on with it if I could, but for the liTo
of me I can't remember what I was going
to write about. The kitten has gono on a
tour of discovery round the room, and my
lady siis with lightly folded hands looking
out of the window.
The china monkey grins at me. I do
wish I could remember what I wanted to
say. I suck the top of my pen; it tastes
bad.
Presently my lady looks round. When
she turns her head, it just makes a man
feel inclined to stare heipleesly at hor and
wonder how she docs it. All the old
similes about swaiiiike movements and
fiowerlike grace Eeeni horribly inadequate
when my lady t urns her head. She bends
it a llttlo forward as sho turns it, and one
sees the wonderful lines of her neck and
shoulier and tbo contour cf her check,
clear cut against the light from the win
dow. ' ' You are quite sure you have evcry
thing you want?"
It is possible that she has been expect
ing to hear the scratching of my pen on
the paper for some time past.
"I am quite sure I haven't."
"Oh, I am so sorry," says my lady. She
rises from her chair and comes half way
across tlio room toward me. Then she sees
me looking at her, and she stops.
"You kctw I meant writing materials,"
she says, with terrible severity.
"But there isn't any ink."
"Oh, dear! Has it dried up again?"
"It has, aud I am quite sure these pens
are not fit to use."
"Oh, and it is past post time! What
will you dof I am afraid is is all my fault."
"I am sure of it."
"I really did think there was everything
in that writing table." Then again,
"What will you dof"
"I think I'll go for a walk in the garden
with you."
"Oh, but I am so busy."
"Still I really think you ought to do
something to make up for making me lose
the post."
"Well, it must only be for a few min
utes, remember."
It is two hours later when, having
reached the garden somehow I never can
remember how we return to the house.
As w cross the lawn my lady is sayiug to
me. "And 1'li always help you to write
your letters, and your writing t:ible shall
have paper and stamps and everything you
Want in it. "New Budget.
Salt.
It Is estimated that the oceans and seas
of our globe hold not less than 60,01)0,000,
000,000.000 tons of salt in suspension. If
these figures are correct and the ocean
should be entirely dried up, there would be
a deposit 450 feet deep over every foot of
the great basin. If taken and spread over
what is now dry land it would give us a,
: revering 1, 500 feet thick.
HORNETS THAT GUARD NESTS.
Queer Neighborhood FrienA.htps B-
tweca the Fiery Insects.
On the broad, brown salt meidows
that skirt the Housatonic river just
above its mouth is a vast colony of
marsh wrens. In the acres of tangled
tules and cat-tails they have built nests
innumerable, prettily woven affairs of
reed and cat-tail leaves. The nests,
which are as large as one's head, are
eo compactly constructed and so thor
oughly thatched as to be entirely
weather-tight. As a rule, the thrifty
little chattering wrens pre'er not to oc
cupy a last year's nest, so there aro
every season hundreds of empty ones.
They are not allowed to remain vacant
long, however, for there are too many
creatures seeking just such snug shel
ters. One species of field or meadow mice,
take possession of a great many of
thein.and the old mice can be seen at
all times of the day nimbly running
up and down the reeds, coming to and
going from their cosy homes. Like
most squatters, they are not the most
desirable settlers, and, sad to say, fre
quently repay their open-hearted land
lords by eating all the pink eggs in tii3
near-by wi ns' nests. If tught in tha
act, a dozen of the excited birds will
organize a vigilance committee, trail
the thief to his home and drive him '
and his family from the nest, tearing
it to pieces to prevent any return.
Big spiders, too, love to nest in the
abandoned basket-like abodes, and liva
for many seasons in them.
The most desirable tenants of all are
the big black and white, hornets. By
far the greater number of the old nests
are inhabited by there fiery fellows
and, odd to relate, they are best of
friends with the landlords. As if by
agreement with the wrens, they keep'a
perpetual ird over the ;.nw nests, as
well as those where they live. Let a
dog, an unconscious rail or snipe
Ehooter, a bird's-egging boy. or any
creature whatever approach the nest3
within a few yards, and. suddenly,
without warning, a cohort of winged
warriors will fall on the intruder, and
flight is the only safe course. To fisht
would mean death, for the hornets
would soon be reinforced by other nest
iuls until they would cover the victim
and sting him to death.
The wrens seem fully conscious of the
vaiue of such sentinels, for they take
care to build their new nests always
very near the old. The birds are
themselves very defenseless, and, their
nests being easily located cn account of
size and the noise made by the wrens,
they have been in some localities en
tirely wiped out by egg-ec .-Hectors.
The boys have learned to give this col
ony a wide berth, however, sr.d tha
Housatonic marsh-wrens are fast in
creasing in numbers, and, uttioss the
hornets shift their quarters, are likeiy
to sing happily there in the reeds and
raise many a brood of young r.u ears
to come.
Tilden's Vmbrella.
Abrara S. Hewitt, who ;-. 3 a great
friend of Samuel J. TiUlcn, one day
brought into his office an old co lon um
brella, with a broken rib or tvs'o and a
few holes. It c-ouid cot have ost over
fifty cents. He placed it in tho accus
tomed corner, beside a fir.e ?10 silk 11111
brelia belonging to J. L. IIai;h, his
partner. When starting home in the
afternoon, he walked off with Uaigh's
umbrella, leaving his own, which
Haigh had to use as it was rainiBf hard.
On opening the old cotton aiT , 1. ilaiga
noticed a piece o white tape ses ?d on
the inside near the lop,, and on going
to the light read: "Samuel J. ri ilrlen.
Gramercy Park," New York." Th i next
day he returned it to the same ;orner
and said to Mr. Hewitt: "This is Mr.
Tilden's umbrella you forgot last
night." "Oh, yes." said Hewitt, lising
and going after it, "I am very glad to
get it back. Mr. Tilden is extrenely
carefui about his umbrella." 'But
where is my silk one that you took away
last night?' Haigh asked. "Oh, I don't
know anything about that," was tha
reply, and that was all the satisfaf. ioa'
that Kaigh ever got.
Josh Skains' Experience with Quickst-.nd.
Montgomery, Ala., Special: Josh
Skains, a negro, went down into a well
to clean it out. As soon as he put his
feet on the bottom quicksand ciicd
around them, and he could not move an
inch. He told those at the top that ho
was fastened in sucking sand, and for
j them to pull him up. They pulled and
; pulled, but could not move the man.
j The suction was so great that try as
! they would they could not move him.
For forty-pi,; lit hours he remained at
the bottom o? the well, and all the timo
those above were doing their best to
pull him out. He had bfi?n pulled at
with rope and windlass until his joint
were so sore that this had to be aban
doned. Finally a box was sunk around
him, and the sand and mud were dipped
out of the box. After several hour3
mors the man was released and vyas
pulled to the surface. He was moro
dead than aiive when he reached tha
top.
Covering a Graver rrirae.
Mrs. Outertown: "That jjr. Subbubi
shows more consideration for his
neighbors than any man I ever sa.v."
Mr. Outertown (astonished): "Consider
ation! Guod heavens! Do you call it con
sideration to wheel a lawn-mower up
and down his grass plot every morn
ing at 6 o'clock?" Mrs. Outertowa:
"Yes; bat he does it so tha neigh bora
will not hear bis daughter practici.-is
her siDging lessons."
Silk Stronrer Thin Steel.
It is generally known that, size for
size, a thread of spider silk is decidedly
tougher than a bar of steel. An, ordinary
thread will bear a weight of three
grains. This is just about 50 per cent
stronger than a steel thread of the suaia
thickjaesa.
