' JONES' LIFE INSURANCE.
Hew He Was Induced to Take Out

Feooe and Happiness.
Whoa the life insurance agent corneml
Jonos out in the corn-field the other duy
and persuaded him that a $5,000 policy wus
just what ho needed in order that bis
friends might reverence his memory, there
was not a man in the Bute who was on
better tonns with the world in general than
was Simon Jones.
But the agent had not been gone an hour
before every thing seeme.l changed. Not
that any of his friends or family had ever
Intimated that a sum of that kind would
help assuage their poignant grief when he
should have shufll-jd off this mortal coil,
yet ones could not banish the growing
Idea that it would be a fine thing to have
five thousand dollars in clear rash. He
bad taken out the policy in bis wife's favor,
of course, for he would have told you an
hour ago that such women as Sally Jones
were mighty scarco. But now it seomed
to him all at once that it would be rather
unfair for Bally to be cavortin' 'round with
a 04HSAMJPiU dais l laisnn iicn
all that money while ho moldered away
quite forgotten by them all. To be sure be
was strong and healthy not a better man
ta the county, 'twas said but, then, Bally
was strong, too; she would be sura to out
live him sure to get that five thousand
dollars and be a dusuing young widow like
Simon had seen and always detested.
Sally was not very stylish or daubing at
present, certainly. Simon could see her
from where he was at work, hanging out
the weekly wash, with a screaming baby
uador one arm. But, then, who knew how
much style Bally might develop if invested
w?n Ittttl S tii-inillcent sum as five thou
sand dollars I
B6 Unhitched his horses and drove slowly
to the house, with a growing conviction
that he was not long for this world. Uis
solemn face at dinner called forth remark
from the kind-hearted Sally, and then It
came out about the policy Simon had taken
that morning. Sally was delighted. "Five
thousand dollars," she said, smiling Into
Simon's gloomy face. "That would be a
mice sum for me and the children In case
you. should be taken away ; nothing like
pmiding for a rainy day." . , ,
"You wouldn't git it unless I died,"
snapped the irritated Simon.
"Course not, which I hope won't be for a
long time yet," replied Sally; "but still it's
a good thing. Now, there was Leo Barnes,
who died, an his insurance was two thou
sand, an' whatever Mary would a-done
without that money Is more"
"If you think I'm such a weak shake
down aa Lee Barnes, you're greatly mis
taken," Interrupted Simon, angrily. "He
never was no 'count, an' his wife was a
flantin' 'roun tryia' to git married agin
'fore he'd been dead six months. Don't
bold up them Barnes for no pattern to
me I"
Sally was astonished at this outburst
from the generally good-natured Simon.
"I never said you was like Lee Barnes,"
she retorted, "I said he left his wife two
thousand dollars insurance when hs died,
and he did, too."
Well who cares if he did I" cried Simon,
angrily rising and leaving the kitchen In a
half. He was convinced at once that Sally
would much prefer that five thousand dol
lars to him, alive.
"That's the way with women," he mut
tered. "AUthey think of is money; and
A. . . . ...-... null li 1.

But supper tuna brought no change, nor
the next day, uor the next, and Sally's
questions only seemed to anger htm.
"Are you sick, Simanl" she Inquired, ten

bis feet so suddenly that Sally, understand
ing the cause, laughed long and loud.
At another time Simon would have joined
In this harmless mirth, but now, consider
ing himself in the light of a martyr, he
only gazed contemptuously upon the irrev
erent Sally, who still giggled behind her
gingh tm apron.
"Oh I you can laugh," he sneered
"you've uothin' to trouble you, and when
I'm cone you're safe."
"Where you goin', Siml" cried Bally,
eagerly, forgetting her laughter and fail
lng to see the significance of this cutting
remark. That Simou standing there before
her was seriously talking of dying never
occurred to her. "Where you goin',
Bimon!" she reiterated. "'Cause if you're
goin' down to Snyder's, I promised Maria
some of them crooked-necked squas es out
in the lot, an' you can take 'em ove lf"-r-
Simon waited to hear no more, but flung
himself off, muttering: "Hang the women,
anyhow; none of 'em got a bit of sense."
So for more than a week things went on
in this cross-grained way. Nothing pleased
Simon any more, his appetite failed, and
be scowled ho continually that it seemed
doubtful if his face ever would straighten
out again. His one thought was of that
flvo-thousand-dollar policy aud the pleas
ure It would bring to others when he could
tuke no part in it
Sally at last began to ace the reason of
Simon's strange mood, but she wisely kept
her owu couuhoL A plan formed itself in
her mind, however a plan over which she
often smiled when about her work. Now
the policy had not Brrived yet, but would
in a few days.
Accordingly, one morning as Sally was
busily churning ori the porch while Simon
sat whittling in dejected silence beside her,
a buggy slopped at the gale, and from it
alighted a spruco young man whom Simou
instantly recognized as the insurance agent
He came briskly up to the porch. "Good
morning, Mr. Jones) Fine morning, this;
lhave brought you your policy; it is all
complete with this exception, as it is iu
favor of your wife, here," bowing to Mrs.
Jones, who had stopped churning, " it will
he necessary for her to siga it (here pro
ducing pen and ink). "Will you, my good
woman, be so kind as to afnx your name!"
Now Sally resented being called "my
good woman" in that manner; she hated
agents generally and this one in particu
lar, for hadn't Simon acted like all pos
sessed ever since he come bothering round.
Here was the opportunity sho craved.
'faking the policy which the agent ex
tended, she unfolded and glanced at its
contents.
"So this is my husband's life insurance!"
"Yes, in'aui."
"And it's fur five thousand dollars, ain't
itt"
"Yes, m'ara."
"Iu my favorl"
"Yes, in your favor, certainly," replied
the agent "Now you see"
"Never mind, sir," interrupted the irate
Sally. "1 want to toll you 1 don't want no
five Uiousaud dollars when Simon dies,
nor I don't want no insurance policy either.
Simon has acted like a fool ever since he
took out this tarnal old tiling; thinks I want
him to die so I can have all that money to
have a line time with. I don't believe I'd
ever get five cents anyhow them In
surance companies always bust fore a man
dies; anyhow I wouldn't live with Simon
another week if he kept this. You under
stand, sir, I don't want no policy uor Simon
don't neither"
And with a dexterous twist Sally tore up
the offending paper and tossed the pieces
into the yard. j
" But, madam, let me tell you let me ex
plain; surely there is some mistake," be-J
gan the chagrined agent, but Sally cut blm
short
"I know there's been a mifctako," she
said, ' an' I've rectified it look out, sir.
this cream may spatter your clothes" us
the dasher iiow with renewed energy.
The agent turned to Simon who had been
a silent spectator of this scene. "Sir, will
you permit this ; is it to bo as your wife
aaysl"
Simon 9miled In a sickly fashion, and
taking out his wallet extracted therefrom
a five-dollar bill and haudlng it to the
agent aaid: "Take thin, air, for your
trouble, but as for the policy, I guess well
let it be as wife says."
The agent took the money and his de
parture at once. After a moment's silenoe
he turned to his wife and in a rather sub
dued voice asked i
"Hadn't I better finish that chornin',

" I don't care if you do," said Sally.

A favorite Kama with Her.
A countryman in search of a tombstone
to place over the grave of his deceased
mother, walked into a stone-cuttiig estab
lishment where such things are manufact
ured, and looked around at his leisure. He
told the stone-cutter about his mother and
what he thought her taste would be in
such matters, and finally pitched upoa a
stone he thought would do.
"I'll take this one," said he.
"That belongs to another person. Don't
you see it has the name of Berry cut on it"
"That makes no difference," was the re
ply, "my mother couldn't read, and besides
Berry was always a favorite name with her,
anyhow."

The shoe sliowu in the cut is made of Krvm h

the iiiHteii that are composed of opu'.lied
bcadi and a large bow of gray velvet. The
slip(er ruuv.'iit'd in the background is of
patent leather and has a bended vamp. As
will be seen, two bows ai'pear on thin, one on
the viinip anil one on the elastic t nip which
fiixteiu the slipper at the instep. The house
klioiHT or mul, as this style of shoe u ii-e-
quently termed, f urnwhes a very coinfortuMe
aud divssy slip)er for the Iiouho. These
mules are innde soinetiincs of red kid, some
times of silk and sometimes of velvet. The
one here illustrated is of red velvet, with a
bow of black velvet set with an lmitatiou gem.
Fashions for Hoys.
There is quite as much variety and opor
tunity for the exorcise of personal taste in the
dressing of boys ns of girls. Little boys as
sume troupers at an earlier age than formerly,
but at the tame time they retain the bhort
trousers much later than heretofore; suits
for tioyaof Uor 13 years being made with
them. These short trousers arc quite close
fitting, reach just below the knees, ami are
plain or finished on the outsido with three
buttons. If for ordinary use, or have braid,
either in binding or plain rows, sometimes
supplemented with a trefoil in braid, or
several leaves, for dressy wear.
The favorite materials for every day use
are fine checked and mixed cloths in brown
and red, the latter so intermixed as to be not
at all prominent For better suits fine
diagonal or corduroy is the choice; aud the
dreys suit of the youthful aspirant for society
honors is of fine tricot or velveteen, the for
mer in green, blue or black, and the latter in
brown, blue, black or wine color.
Caps madu of the same cloth as the suit,
with visors and medium or high crowns, are
worn by boys from 7 to 17 years of nge,
Derby hats are ah-o liked for the larger boys;
felt turbans are chosen for lioys of medium
size, also the "Admits." with a straight steeple
crown and stiff brim ; while tho polo cap, in
gray or brown corduroy, or cloth, and the
toboggan cap are chosen, on occasion, for all
ages. Little boys are aivorded more dresy
caps ninde in plush or velvet; a fancy turbnn
with a pointed crown fastened on one side by
a button, or a Highlander cap, or Tarn
O'Shanter, with a full erowu finished with a
button at the top. Domorest's Monthly.
Heady Made llowi.
The ready made bows for trimming hats
and Imimets haveliecome quite an institution.
The introduction of these ready made, bows has
reduced the work of the amateur milliner to
the minimum. Combinations of feathers and
riblons are also procurable.
Stiff, standing loops are still very fashion
ably worn, but the newest bows are made of
unfolded rilitmi, and are consequently less
"set" in effect Various iieculinr shades of
green, particularly those of the pistache
variety, are used in combination with all
colors, light and dark; and every tint of what
is known as vieille rose, from a quite dark
red to a pale pink, is in high favor. Trobably
never before were riblions presented in such
great variety, or used so profusely on every
article of dress, from the top of the head to
the tip of the shoes, as at present.
Passeinenteries and Ornaments.
Silver, steel, and gold passementeries and
ornaments ore very fashionably employed on
evening and reception toilets, and these form
the favorite garniture for black velvet
basques that are worn with skirts made of
lace or the various fashionable nets, silver
having the preference at the moment. Kib
bons striped with silver are associated with ;
tulle for the sash and border for the floumrs;
and there are silver beaded nets and deli
cately tinted satins embroidered with silver
beads, that are very beautiful.
A Pretty Design for Infant's Slip.
A simple but attractive slip for an infant is
in suck shape with a square yoke in the front
only. A design for such a slip, represented in
the accompanying cut, is described by Demo-
rest as having the
yoke either quite
plain and surround
ed by narrow em
broidered edging.or
tucked and trim
med in any fancy
style. Tho string
should tie attached
at the side seam
and may be tied
either in front or
at the back. Fine
materials, tsiaudy
trimmed, are the
choice for infants'
wear, rather than
an excess of garni
ture. For this gar
ment two and one
eighth yards of
yard wide goods
will be required,
not allowing any-
i.vyAJfi's yoke blip, thing for tucks.
Two yards and three-eighths of embroidery
will be sufficient for the bottom of the skirt
and two yards of narrow for the yoke, neck
and sleeves.
New Basket Goods.
New basket surf acwd goods are shown, with
the weave produced altogether by surface
threads, and the fabric is thus rendered much
more durable than ths old style, in which all
of the warp and weft threads were interlaced.
These novelties are of fairly heavy qualities,
and are Intended for tailor costumes as well
as wraps. Another novelty has what appears
to be several strands of narrow braid woven
in each way, and entwined in loops like a
"true lover's knot" There are two patterns of
this goods, in one of which the braid is very
narrow, and in the other it is about one
eighth of an inch wide.
Watch Pockets.
Watch pockets are very little used. The
abort chain, about three inches in length,
popularly worn has a ball and a hook to se
cure it, and the small watch is slipped inside
the front of ths vest or jacket With a long
chain to wear around the ueck, the old fash
ioned watch pocket would be required, and
should be at the left of the bodice, at si
bsisw (La vait line.

It Is not perfectly well understood how tlie

the patent of Dr. Auer, which throw some
light on the subject: Take a solution of zir

yttrium, and soak It in the woolen or cotton
that is to form the hood. The tissue Is then
carbonized, and leaves a sort of network,
which is applied to the Bunscn. The nets

burner will lie about one half lees than that

economy of SO for 100, but these figures ought
to le verified. The durability of the hood
ought also to be determined by exact trts.
Effect of High Altitude.
During two balloon ascensions, Dr. Itey, of
Taris, made some Interesting observations
upon the effect of reduced atmospheric press
ure in diminishing the arterial tension, and
obtained the following sphymographic trac
iiiKs which have been reproduced in Popular
Science News.
SPHYMOUKAI'HIC THAUINliS.
In Fig. I the lower line shows the pulse
trneing taken at the heightof 8,400 feet, while
Is-ating ninety five times a niinufe. Tlieupjer
tracing was taken one hour after reaching
the ground.
The spuygiiiograpb was attachnd to the
right radial artery of the aeronaut, who was
acvustomed to iMtlloon ascents, and presum
ably uiiiifTccted by the excitement of the
sit nation.
Fio. 2.
The tracings shown In Fig. 9 were also
taken from the right radial artery; the first
during the inflation of the balloon, end ths
second when it had reached an altitude of
over 10,000 feet. Although these were taken
from a different person, the effort of the high
altitude seems to be nearly the same in loth
cases. Dr. Rey notes particularly that the
line or loti-eiit is practically the same at all
altitudes, but that the summit of the pulsa
tion forms a ltvs acute angle at tbe higher
level, and the descending line shows a much
more marked irregularity, while the time of
the entire pulsation is considerably shorter.
The difference between the normal pulses of
tbe two aeronauts is also worthy of note.
Telegraphic Messages Without Wire.
The problem of transmitting telegraphic
messages without the use of wires Is one
worthy of attention, although but little prog
ress has yet lcn made in flint direction.
Some time ao l'rofessor Dollear of Tufts
.ollefse, exhibited a telephor.o through which
articulate words could be distinctly heard,
sven when it was not couuocted with the line
wire. This phenomenon was due to tho in
ductive actioji 6f the current transmitting the
words; and Professor Dolbear has recently
published the details of a method by which
he can transmit signals for a distance of half
a mile at least, without the use of any con
necting wire. It depends upon the same prin
i lolo of induction the varvine electrical con
dition of the apparatus at tbe transmitting
station, inducing a similar condition at tne
roonlviiiir end. Although tbe invention is yet
only in the experimental stage, it may, if
found of practical application, prove to Do or
equal lmortance with that of the telegraph
itself. Popular Science News.

greatest pain. My wife applied hot appli
cations, so hot that it would nearly blister
me. This was only temporary relief, for as
soon as the application was cold the pain
came right m k. I saw among the names
of parties advertised as having used Athlo
phoros some I knew, so I concluded to give
it a trial. After using it a few days I was
well and have not been troubled since. One
bottle was all I used."
