When he finished 'his work Scutun
tried to descend in a small elevator
which is used ordinarily for carrying
liueti and other household srpplica. It
H also used by employe's of the hotel.
Sutton opened the door of the eleva-
tor shaft aud saw that the oar was at
the seventeenth floor. He seized the
<li< -k rope t.ud (lulled it so as to tiring
the cur down. The elevator di t not

WAX T ED CON FIDENCE.
A little West End boy came home
from Sunday sehoul ‘yesterdqy in u
very thoughtful mood. He sat beside

"Sny mamma don't you think I’ve
been n pretty good boy since 1 started
to go to Sunday school?”
”Yes my boy. certainly.”
’ Don't you ta'uk I am good enough
to be trusted now all right?”
"Of course I do; but why do you

"Oh. nothin' only I was just won-
dering why you kept the cookies lock-

went to Sunday school that's all.”

LUMINOUS ETHER.
The Lightest Substance Known iu AU
of Nature's Realm.
Th” luminiferous ythcr is the lightest
substance in nature. This substance
pervades Hi - uniwrse. and. by means
of its vibrations light is transmitted
from plain t > place. Yet It must lie
film st absolutely witbout weight.
Tlie earth the moon and tbe planets
j.ass through it but their motion is
not perceptibly retarded by it. The
eak-uhitions of astronomers on the mo-
tions of these bodies are based upon
tlie supposition that tSiey are moving
through empty space i’et It Is cer-
mlu that the ether is a si.bstauo* for
It is impossible Hifft empty space
should vibrate and by the diffeemt
’nodes of its vibicillon should prodll -e
the colors of the solar ’spyetrnm the
gr.en of tin liindkeapc. th* blue of
i the sky. -and the varied tints of nature
। and art. The lightest substance' tint
lias been actually weighed is hydrogen
Wts. It is less than one-fourteenth
of Ht- density of Hs‘ air and lienee
it is Hie best substance for inflating

terrier 'hardly a year old. aud his
name is Nat. Tiie little animal came
to grief (« July 1 wlien he fell from
tlie rear porch to the ground a distance
of 14 feet. When Nat was picked up
it was fotuid that he was suffering
great pain nud two surgedhs were al
once Sent for. They found Hint the
poor miimiil's right foreleg was broken
and said lliat 'be would never get well
so they advised that he be -4iot. The
little boy aud girl who owned Nat
pleaded so earnestly for the dog's life
however tliat the doctors gave him
one more chance and looked after him
as carefully as if he had been human.
Whiu Nat tinally got well after a long
spell of sickness lie found that he hud
a woodtn leg carefully tilted to tiie
stump and kept in place by a sort of
padded harness.
At tinst the animal refused to move

HOW DEW FORMS.
Somethiug About the Little Drops That
Sparkle on the Grass.
Ground a little below the surface
is always wniuner than the air over IL
So long ns t'he surface of the ground is
above the dew point vapor must rise
and pass from the earth into the air.
The moist air so fotmed will mingle
with t'he air above it aud the moisture
will be condensed forming dew wher-
ever It comes in contact with a sur-
face cooled below rhe dew point. In
fact dew rises from the ground.
Place some • metal trays over the
grass tlie soil and the road on dewy
nights. You will gmerally And more
moisture on tlie glass inside the trays
than outside; you will always observe
a deposit of dew InsTde tile trivys even
when there Is none outside at nil. This
shows that far more vapor rises out
of the ground during t'he night than
condenses as dew on the grass r.nd oth-

Dewthen rises from till? ground. But
liow is tin* dew formed on bodies high

particles as it was once considered
to full in particles like - flue rain. Il
rises in vapor. Some is caught by what
is <xi the surface of the earth but the
rest ascends vj vapor form until it
comes in contact with a much colder
surface to condeilse it into moisture.
Tlie vapor does not flow rpward in a
uniform stream but is mixed iu the air
by eddies and wind currents and car-
ried to Dodies fur from where it rose.
In fact dew may be deposijed even

THE MONOIZKHST.
Some of Hte Latest New York Jokes
* Which He Springs Without Fear.
Some of the latest jokes heard from
the stages of New York theatres have
the merit of being naw ami are wortli
reproduction as tho following sam-
ples will show:
Monologlwt—l wns talking with the
manager about that isong 1 just sung.
I asked him if he didn’t think It would
be better for me to walk off after tlia:
song. “No” he euld "you’d better run
off.”
‘That wasn’t as bad as it song I sang
out In Denver. The manager told nie
to go and sing it and he’d let me know
if it would do. He was better pleased
with It than I hud expected he’d be.
“He told me It would do before I had
sung two lines. He just looked out
from the side of the stage and said:
That'll do.’ I was glad he was so
easily sstisfigd.
'That sc»jg made one man in tlie au-
dience so remorseful he tried to commit
suicide. He tired at himself twice but
mimed himself both times. He was an
awful bad shot. I know that because
those bullets didn't go anywhere near
him. Both of them went about an inch
from my lead.”
“Hank told me to wait at Hie sta-
tion and he said he’d go uptown and
get some cigare I waited for him and
in abotit half an 'hour lie catne back
wltti a handful. They were good ci-
gars too. One of ’em was almost a
whole one.
“Hank’s an nwful goo'd judge of ci-
gars. No body never told him anything
about how to judge a good cigar. Ho
jdst picked it up.”

And he did.”
“Hank wouldn't see anybody abuse

TO BE HEALTHY.
The requirements of health can be
counted on the tiugem of one hand.
They ate good air good food suitable

rest The Ursi two requirements af-
fect the blood mid us the blood cir-
culates all over the body includiiig
the brain every port is affected. Fresli
air uffdcls the purity of the blod.R The
fredheSt air is out of doors and It is
tlie duty of every one who wishes to
lie in good helatlh to spend a certaki
amount of tine iu the open atr. Good
food is not necessarily expensive food.
Exercise and rest should alternate mid
buliuice each other. It is quite possible
to Wee too much exercise and this
side of the question must be guarded
against as carefully ns the ottier. Wto-
tnen as a rule do not rest sufficient-
ly. Every woman dbould try during
the day to get a few minutes’ rest
evn if it interferes with her regular
work. It is imciossible for 'iier to at-
tend to her health and welfare of her
family If her awn health suffens from
overwork and lack of rest. She stiould

A strong movement is again being
made In favor of reviving the wear of

to the present clinging style of dress.
It is to be hoped Shat as emphatic and
prompt a protest be made against
t'he fashion as there was several years
'ago. when Mrs. Arthur Stjininrd'a

against its ndnotion brought 72000
signets including women from every
