INTERESTING EXPERIMENT. 1
I'lml Out \\ lilcli One of Your Feet
You may think this is a very silly j
question to ask, but Is It? There is j
no catch about It. It is a simple, de j
inonstrable fact which you can prove j
to your own satisfaction in a very few j
minutes.
If you will take any pavement that ;
Is clear of other pedestrians, so that
there shall be no Interference, ami
walk briskly iu tin* center, you will
find that before you have gone 1«h>
yards you will have veered very much
to one shh*. You must not make any
conscious effort, of course, to keep in
the center, or you may do It, but If
you will think of something and eii
deavor to walk naturally It Is 100 to 1
you cannot keep a direct line.
The explanation of this lies In the
peculiarity of one foot to walk faster
than the other. Or, to he more cor
reel, perhaps it should la* said that
one leg takes a longer stride than the
other, and this, eomblned with the
quicker movement, causes one to walk
more to one side than the other.
It Is well known, for Instance, that
If one be lost In the woods the tend
ency Is to walk In a circle and even
tuiilly to return about to tin* starting
point. This demonstrates the fact also
that one foot walks faster than the
other.
You cun try an Interesting experi
ment In this way If you will place
two stakes In the lawn about eight
feet apart and then stand off about
00 feet from them, allow yourself to
be blindfolded anil endeavor to walk
between them. You will find It an al
most Impossible task, because one foot
will go a bit faster than the other,
either to the right or left. Now,
which one of your feet walks faster
than the other? Kansas City Times.

in a little yellowed English magn
zinc, dated April, 1804, 1 came across
the following amusing scrap:
If the Duke of ii does not ex
tend his life to a still longer period, It
will not be for want of culinary com
forts and those other succulent arts
by which longevity is best promoted.
Ills grace’s sustenance Is thus dally
administered:
“At 7 in the morning lie regales in
u warm milk bath, perfumed with a!
mond powder, where he takes his
coffee and a buttered muffin, and aft
erward retires to bed. lie rises about
ll nud breakfasts ou cafe au lalt, with
new laid eggs Just parboiled; at 11 be
is presented with two warm Jellies
and rusques; at 1 be takes a veal cut
let a la Main tenon; at II Jellies and
eggs repeat; at f» a cup of chocolate
mid rusques; at 7:110 be takes a hearty
dinner from high seasoned dishes, and
makes suitable libations of claret and
madelra; ut 10, ten, coffee and muf
tins; at 12 sups off a roast poulet, with
a plentiful solution of lime punch; at
I in the morning he retires to bed In
high spirits and sleeps till 3, when bis
man cook, to the moment, waits upon
him In person with a hot and savory
veal cutlet, which, with a potation of
wine and water, prepares him for
further repose, that continues gener
ally uninterrupted till the morning
summons to Ids lacteal bath.
“In this routine of living comforts
are the four and 20 hours invariably
divided; so that If his grace does not
know, with Sir Toby Belch, ‘that our
life Is composed of four elements,' be
knows at least, with Sir Agtie Cheek,
‘that It consists In eating and drink

A RUNAWAY ICE YACHT.
An ICiclIlnv dinar null u Narrow Et>
rape I'ron llcalli.
Some years ago there was a runaway
down at Shelter Island in which n
young girl was left in tho boat with a
gale blowing. She tried to throw the
sheet loose, hut it was frozen and her
Angers were too cold, added to which
the sheet had fooled the tiller, and she
eould not bring the bout up into the
wind to stop its wuy, the sail being so
pet that the bout continued running
right along at a terrific rate of speed.
Occupants of the other boats soon
realized the position and made chase,
gaining slowly, one boat Unully being
fur in the lead of the others by the timo
tho end of the island was left behind,
ltight In front lay the end of tho ice,
broken short by the action of tho tide
water, and there the breakers rolled in,
throwing tip the anchor ieo, dashing it
down, and then retrenting, sucking it
under the floe nud packing it up for an
other break.
For some time it was a question ns to
whether the chasing boat would catch
up with tho girl liefore she was curried
over the edge to certaiu death But at
last the boats came together for one
brief second, the girl was snatched by
strong arms to the pursuer's yacht, the
sheet was eased off in a flash, and. spin
niug round In its own length, it was
set right before the wind instead of
reaohing into it. just as the runaway
dashed over into the anchor ice
A short, sharp crack gave notice of
the parting of the ice beneath the very
runners of the now homeward bound
savior, and with a long stagger, which
only her speed enabled her to with
stand, she dashed across the fast open
iug crack, safe, to ba brought up into
the wind at a distance, while the lata
runaway danced, a wreck, among the
broken ice It was one of the claw c«Ua
of ica yachting which, thank goodnent,

One by one the old superstitions »r»

ly rooted suporstitiou among card play
ers ia a belief in the lucky properties of
the two of apudea The present writer s
faith, however, was severely shaken by
a phenomenal coincidence which occur
red only a few days ago
Sitting down to a game of whist, he
thoroughly shuttled both packs of cards,
and hap|>eued to notice that the two of
spades was the bottom card of one of
tlie (sick*
“This ought to bring mo luck.” he
remarked to his friends
lie then took up the second pack, and
was astonished to find that the two of
spades was also at the bottom of that
Words failed to express his amazement
when, in drawing for partners and deal
— the cards had been shuttled again—he
ouce more drew the two of spades
The odds against this triple event oc
curring must be enormous but more
was to follow. The deal fell to the
writer, and the turn up card was the in
evitable two of spades!
After this the dealer felt justified in
believing he was in for a good evening.

WASHINGTON IRVING.

llliiuer SpruLcr.
Washington Irviug was not a ready
after dinner speaker. The author of
“American Bookmen'' aaya that ho
shunned public appearances. Yet when
Dickena came to New York, in 1843.
Irving could not escape presiding at
the great dinner in his honor. They
had already become frleuda through
correspondence, for diving's delight in
Little Nell had to bo expressed in a
letter to the author, and Dickens, in
his enthusiastic response, had said:
“ ‘Dicdrich Knickerbocker' I have
worn todeuth in my pocket, and yet I
should show yon his mutilated curcusa
with a joy beyond expression."
Thu night of the public dinner came,
ami Irving's dread of the introductory
speech kept him murmuring throughout
the repast. “I shall certainly break
down.''
At the proper time he rose to his
feet, began bravely, but could only ut
ter a few sentences, and ended by tak
ing refuge in the auuouucement of the
toast:
“Charles Dickens, the guest of the
nation."
The applanso was gunerons, and Ir
ving took his seat
“There!" he said. “I told you 1
should breakdown, and I have done it 1’
latter, while on his way to Madrid,
he found himself called upon at the
dinner of the Literary fund in London
to respond to the toast, “Washington
Irving and American literatnre.” All
be could say to acknowledgment of an
enthusiastic reception was:
“I tieg to return you my very sincere
thanks."
One Englishman at the table was
heard to make the laconic comment.
“Brief!"
"Yen,’ said another beside him.
"but you can tell the gentleman iu the
very tone of bis voice. "

ONLY A_FRIEND.
For rears I had known her. Years?
Yes, since my childhood. Playmates we
had been then—schoolmates, then
friends. As I watched her developing
from narrow-minded youth to beauti
ful, broad womanhood I trembled lest
In the picture I knew she portrayed of
future perfect happiness I should be
missing.
She was not a beauty as the world
terms them, but the kindly smile and
true character her face reflected were
more beautiful to me than perfect fea
tures. But her voice; what a voice It
was! A clear, rich mezzo, aided by per
fect execution born of deep feeling and
power of interpretation. She held a po
sition in one of the leading churches
In M-, and there, I confess, I was
wont to find the sermon more Interest
ing than at my own home church.
One bright moonlight Sabbath, as we
strolled home from evening service, she
said: "How well Mr. Studley sang to
night! What a beautiful voice he has,
Ralph!”
Strange to say, I had been thinking
bow well her voice and his blended; be
fore I had answered she continued:
"He is so pleasant, too. We would
miss hint more than any of the others
In the quartet if he should leave us.”
"Yes, Elsie, he is a royal fellow. Hut
will you go with me on Tuesday to hear
Campanari? llis voice is better?"
"I am sorry. Ralph, but Mr. Studley
asked me to accompany him that even
ing and I consented."
"Well, he sings again on Thursday;
we can go then,” and so it was decided.
The house was reached, and as we
entered I thought I had never seen her
looking so well. Her eyes were bright
and sparkling, and the cold, crisp air
had brought a rich damask pink to her
cheeks. Removing her outer garments
in the hall, she started forward toward
the center of the parlor, and as she did
so I stopped her, and slipping my arm
about her, bent, and, ere she could in
terpret my intention, I kissed her.
Tearing herself away, her face ablaze,
she cried in a voice of deep anger:
"Ralph Moreland, how dare you—how
dare you insult me?" while 1, all the
bolder because of her anger, started
forward, and possessing myself of both
her hands, said:
“Elsie, angry with me, no,” as she
tried to free herself—"you shall listen
—angry with one who lovos you better
than his life, yes, better than nil the
whole world besides, and whose one
ambition is to make you his wife?"
With a low cry of anguiBh she start
ed back. I released her then.
"O, Ralph,” she said, "I never
thought you would do this. 1 thought
we were too good friends." Two great
tears started and coursed down her
cheeks, now pale as death.
"Elsie, my darling girl, don't you
love me?”
"Love you!" she reiterated; "love
you; when have I not loved you; tint
not like that, Ralph; not like (hat; I
could never be your wife."
In vain I pleaded, and then a disa
greeable thought forced itself upon me.
Framing it in words, I said softly:
"Elsie, is there some one else?"
Trembling, she stood there in the
semi-darkness. I could see how agi
tated she was as 1 caught the faint
whisper: "Yes.”
Then, indeed, hope died within me,
and she continued: "Ralph, dear
friend. Let us be as we always have
been, true friends. Don’t,” she pleaded,
“let this spoil our friendship."
“It shall be as you desire, but, Elsie,
is there no hope for me? What of this
other?"
"Poor Ralph, none. This other does
not even suspect that 1 care for him;
but, loving him as I do, It would he
wrong for me to consent to he your
wife. Please leavo me now; you liavo
surprised me so.”
And I went—alone with my giier
knowing and praying that Hod would
not let her wait long or In vain for her
true love to be rewarded and returned.
Two days passed and the play was
nearly over In the L- opera house,
when suddenly the cry of "Are" rang
through the auditorium, caught up and
re-echoed by the terror-stricken people.
There iu the tlrst balcony were Paul
Studley and Elsie Mordant. I watched
them both as the people thronged the
narrow passageways. They had not, 1
felt sure, seen me, and 1 resolved to re
main close at band, and if necessary
•Id them. He made her wait until the
crowd was nearly out; then they start
ed. They were within a few steps of
the door when, as though to add to the
panic, the lights were turned off. 1
started forward.
’•Elsie,” I heard him say, "are you
afraid? Will you trust yourself to me?"
"I am not afraid while with you,
Paul,” was the soft reply, made with
strange calmness.
“You are quite sure," he questioned,
bending low and giving her a quick,
searching look.
"Is there any danger that we cannot
get out?” she queried.
“I think not. You will trust me en
tirely; let me be your protector now”
—she nodded as there came a whisper
ed "yes”—now and always. Elsie?”
"Yes, Paul,” she answered; aud lift
ing her gently, he bore her down the
stairway.
I had heard all, and I knew then why
she had not loved me.
They are married now, and I I am
atlU "her friend.”
