SOMEWHAT HARD TO ANSWER Judge’s Questioning Telegram Must Have Made the Railroad Men Sit Up and Wonder. Some years ago Judge Gray of the supreme bench of lowa was called to Colorado by the death there of a rela tive, who had In vain sought better health In the mountains. On the way back with the body a transshipment was necessary at Council Bluffs. Judge Gray purchased tickets for lowa City, and attended to the checking of the coffin box In regular form. Then he retired to hla berth In the sleeper for a night’s rest. At half-past four the next morning the porter roused him to dress, as lowa City was but a few miles away. The judge had not slept well, and the early rising had not helped to put him in good humor. He was feeling anything but cheerful when he stepped upon the platform at lowa City, and, walking to the baggage office, found that the body of his relative was not there. "No body came this morning," said the agent. Judge Gray was furi ous. He was too full for utterance, and, without uttering one word, he walked to the telegraph office, seised a pen, dashed off a dispatch to the bag gage agent at Council Bluffs, and thrust It through the window to the astonished operator. It was this: “Where In Is my mother-in-law?” RAISING HEART BOWED DOWN Widow’s Change of Bentlment Shown by Her Selection of Colors for Her New Bonnsts. “See that little woman who just went out?” remarked a milliner to a customer. “Notice that red hat, did you? Well, as a milliner and a person whose business it is to study the differ ent characteristics of women, I have watched her for two years. It has been a kind of study of the ‘evolu tions of the widow.’ “Two years ago she came to me, re cently bereaved, and had me make her a hat of deepest black. She was broken-hearted, and declared she would never again take an interest in the pretty things that women like to wear. A year ago she came again. “ ‘Don’t you think I might have the least bit of white in my spring hat?” she asked. “ ‘Yes,’ I said, 'I think you might/ and the hat was made. Three months later she came for another hat, and ( she stood for a little touch of lavender. Next she had a big white plume, and last week I made her that red hat. Ie just shows what time will do in lift ing up a heart bowed down.” r How Finger Nails Grow. It has been computed that the aver age growth of the Bnger nail Iq 1-32 of an Inch per week, or a little more than an Inch and a half per year. The growth, however, depends to a great extent upon the rate of nutrition, and during periods of sickness It is retard ed. It goes on faster in summer than 1n winter, and differs for different fin gers. being most rapid In the middle finger, and slowest in the thumb. Ac cording to the rate of growth stated the average time taken for each finger nail to grow Its full length is about four and a half months, and at this rate a man of seventy would have re newed hla nails 186 times. Taking the length of each nail at half an inch, he would have grown seven feet nine Inches of nail on each finger and on all his fingers and thumbs an aggregate length of ?7 feet six Inches. Young Commentators. Jerome 8. McWade, In a Sunday school address at Duluth, quoted oddi ties from a number of children's Bibli cal compositions that had been submit ted to him In competition for a sls New Year prize. Among the more whimsical oddities were: "Mana Is being polite.” "Jerusalem was surrounded with walls to keep In the milk and honey.” "Jacob was a patriarch by trade. In them days people lived on corn, like horses do now. They always called pudden and porridge messes. Jacob could eat a good mess, but Esau, who was the oldest, could not eat as much as you might think. The patriarch Moses never ate nothing except when there was a famine." Made Cats His Booty. Says the Pekin and Tientsin Times: “A novel sort of crime was discovered by the Tientsin police when a portly native was arrested and asked to ex plain his embonpoint. He had a thieves' bag around his waist, filled with dead cats to the number of sev en. One of them, a very fine speci men of the tortoise-shell, was still quite warm. In a smaller bag was found tho lure; It consisted of bits of dried fish treated with some deadly poison. The man was sent up to the yamen, where he received thirty blows and one month's Imprisonment.” Wiles of the Chinaman. For ways that are dark and tricks that are vain the Chinee Is still pe culiar. The other week while some customs officers were making Investi gations among the Chinese gardeners st Northam, 100 miles east of Perth, Scotland, they discovered quantities of opium concealed in sausage skins and In lemons from which the pulp bed been extracted.

Families which trace their ancestry through eight or ten generations are counted old, yet they are mere fledg lings compared with some of the really ancient families of the world. The oldest family In the British Isles la the Mar family, In Scotland, whlcn traces Its pedigree back to 1093. The Campbells of Argyll began In 1190, Tal leyrand dates from 1199, and Bismarck from 1270. The Grosvenor family (that of the duke of Westminster), 1066; the Austrian house of Hapsburg goes back to 552, and the house of Bourbon to 864. The descendants of Mohammed, born 670, are all registered carefully and authoritatively In a book kept In Mecca by a chief of the family. Little or no doubt exists of the absolute authenti city of the long line of Mohammed's descendants. In China there are many old families, also among the Jews. But In point of pedigrees the mi kado of Japan has a unique record. His place has been filled by members of his family for more than twenty five hundred years. The present mi kado Is the one hundred and twenty second In the line. The first one was contemporary with Nebuchadnezzar, 660 years before Christ.

Probably the exhibits most interest ing to the American historian are the famous Columbus letter announcing the discovery of America in 1492, the first dated edition of Americus Vespu cius (1504), Corlear’s journal of 1634, describing the Mohawk Indians, the earliest historical manuscripts in exist ence of the Dutch period of New York, the original manuscript rolls of the Concord minute men and many valua ble items relating to the colonial and revolutionary periods. Guttenberg’s Bible, printed on parchment, was exhibited to show the transition from the manuscript to the printed book. An Island of Sulphur. In the Bay of Plenty, New Zealand, is one of the most extraordinary isl ands In the world. It Is called White island, and consists mainly of sulphur mixed with gypsum and a few other minerals. Over the Island, which Is about three miles In circumference, and rises between 800 and 900 feet above the sea, floats continually au Immense cloud of vapor attaining an elevation of 10,000 feet. In the center is a boiling lake of acid-charged wa ter, covering fifty acres, and sur rounded with blowholes from which steam and sulphurous fumes are emit ted with great force and noise. With care a boat can be navigated on the lake. The sulphur from White Island Is very pure, but little effort has yet been made to procure It systematic ally. Cradle Rented on Approval. “What do think of renting a cradle on approval?" said the boss of a New York secondhand shop. Sounds funny doesn't it? I rented one last week. A woman In the next block was expect ing company from the west. They were bringing a baby along—a baby that was used to a cradle and couldn't sleep In anything else. The woman knew nothing about the size of the child, so she couldn't figure on the size of the cradle. She hoped he wasn't very big. because her flat Is nothing but a bandbox. She picked out the smallest cradle she could find. The boy turned out to be a regular buster. He slept one night with his tootsies doubled up under his chin. The next day they swapped for a big ger cradle.” Grippe. Grippe was first described In Eng land in 1173, since when there have been more than 100 epidemics. It first appeared in the United States In 1627 and went all over the western hemisphere. The last epidemic start ed in Bokhara In May, 1889, and reached the United States In the mid dle of December. Itß rate of spread Is exactly as rapid as travel. Since 1889 there have been grippe epidomlcs In most American cities every winter —just as there are many mild cases of "cholerine" during deadly epidemics of cholera, so there are many cases of bad colds in the head, or "grlptne," false lnfluenxa, when true grippe Is SbouL On Cate. Anthony H. Enwer wrote an essay on cats. The chapter on "Different Breeds" supplies the following Infor mstlon; Cats that's made for little boys and girls to maul and tease Is called Mai tease cats.

Agassiz—or somebody else—said fish is the best brain food, and a large part of the world has accepted the statement as a fact. There’s no occasion for argument on this point, anyhow, for everybody knows that fish when it’s choice and fine and fresh is good food —extremely nourishing, fine of flavor and not heating. There’s no finer fish than Here’s the best product of the Pacific—the famous sockeye salmon of Puget Sound, packed on the shore the same day it’s brought in. All the rich flavor, the oil and the color of the fish retained. A truly delicious fish. A dainty satisfying supper dish on warm days, and just as pleasing for dinners; and luncheons.
