A CASE IN POINT.
Why the Postmaster Leaned Toward
the Sheriff.
There Is a town In northern New
Hampshire where the families have in-
termarried to such an extent that it Is
difficult for xh outsider to make the
least criticism on one person without
the. danger of offending some of his
family connections. When an unfortu-
nate visitor commented on this fact to
Mr. Corbln" the postmaster Mr. Cor-
bin nodded violently.
"Hill Harmon that's our sheriff com-
plained of that no longer ago than last
week." said he.
' "You see. It took him more'n a fort-
light to arrest Nate GIddings becnuse
Nate got wind that he was wanted on
a little matter o' selling hard cider
and he wont on a round o' visits
among his relatives aunts nepbews-ln-law
and I don't know what all and
'twasu't till he'd had bis fun and went
back home to tils wife that Bill could
make the arrest without seeralug to
kind o' butt In us you might say and
spoil the reunions"
"1 should think he would make a
queer kind of sheriff." said the visitor
"waiting nil that time for sentimental
reasons and then arresting a man
when hp went home Just because' his
poor wife wasn't a relation!"
Mr. Corbln drew himself up and as-
sumed a remote expression.
"That's as you look at It." he said is
a chilly tone. "I may le a mite preju-
diced In Bill's favor as he married my
son-in-law's j-oungest sister. Auythlng
that concerns him concerns me. yoli
understand." '
Chess and War.
The origin of .chess is sluouded lu
mystery. There It little doubt how-
ever that its birthplace was in India
and that It is an uuspring of a game
balled ebnturaiiga. which Is mentioned
In oriental literature as In use fully
200 years before the Christian era.
From India" chess spread into .Persia
and thence into Arabia and ultimately
the A nibs took It Into Spain and the
rest of wter Europe. The game
was In nil probability Invented for itw
purpose of Hlustratiiiy the art of War.
The Arab legend uxn this poftit Is that
It was devix-d for the iustrqctkw or a
young despot .by his father a learned
Brahman to teach hhn that a king
notwithstanding hb power was depend-
ent for safety upon his subjects. The
Greek historians credit the Invention
of the game to ralamedes who they
claim devised It to beguile the tedium
of ttho siege of Troy during the Trojan
war.

The Slippery Pronoun.
Many are the circumlocutions which
have been devised by civilized races In i
order to avoid the bluutness of direct
address. In fact It may be said that
at the moment when a nation stand-
ardizes Its language it begins to have
trouble with Its pronouns.
"Thou" has of course become obso-
lete except In prayer although It flour-
ishes colloquially in tl'ie north of Eng-
land. The second person plural Is
substituted. - In paj-ts of the south
"you all" Is heard a further step to-
ward refined eluslveness.
In France and Germany "thou" has
been retained In familiar or semlcon-
temptuous speech. In Spain and Italy
on the other hand the third person Is
substituted habitually In place of it-

EBONY WOOD.
Alt of the Several Varieties Are Heav-
ier Than Water.
Ebouy was known and highly es-
teemed by the ancients as an article of
luxury and was used by them for a
variety of purposes.
In India it Is said that It was em-
ployed by kings for scepters and also
for Images. On account of Its sup-
posed antagonism to poisons it was
used largely for drinking cups.
The name ebony Is given to the wood
of several varieties of trees. All kinds
of ebony are distinguished for their
great density and dark color. The
wood In all varieties Is heavier than
water. The heaviest varieties are the
darkest The other grades require a
considerable amount of staining to
make them black.
Ebony Is of a uniform color through-
out and will not show any deteriora-
tion even from long continued use.
There are three varieties of eboay
well known In commerce. The ebony
from the Gaboon coast of Africa Is the
darkest The Madagascar ebony is the
densest The Macassar ebony furnish-
es the largest pieces. It is sold by
weight
Imitations of ebony can always be
distinguished by their lighter weight
and" the cheaper Imitations can be de-
tected by merely scratching the sur-
face.
SPECTRAL WARNINGS.
The Bloody Mark That Appeared on
Cardan's Finger.
Who shall say that spectral warnings
are entirely chimerical? History has
many Instances to the contrary. Thus
the. once well known tragedian John
Palmer died ou the stage at Liverpool.
At the same hour and minute a shop-
man in London sleeping under a couu-
tcr saw distinctly his shade glide
through the shop open the door and
pop Into the street This an hour or
two later he mentioned very coolly as
if Mr. Palmer himself had been there.
Cartlan. the noted Italian philoso-
pher saw on the ring finger of his
right hand the mark of a bloody sword
and heard at the same time a voice
which bade him go to Milan. The red-
ness progressively Increased until mid-
night The mark then faded gradually
and disappeared. At that midnight
hour his son was beheaded at Milan.
The father of Dr. Blombey was cap-
tain In an army serving In America.
We are told by Dr. Rudge that six
officers IlOO miles from his position
were visited- after-dinner by this mod-
ern Batiqiio ho sat down in a vacant
chair. One said to him "Blombey are
you madV lit? rose In silence and
slowly glided out ut the door. He was
slain on that day and hour. St James

The Actor and the Critic.
One of the near -omedfans who al-
ways affect fo Im? nDfrely careless of
newspaper criticism recently struck
from his lit of howimg i-tpiaiiitances
a critic noted for hi mndor. The
player met the wrttar and a friend
while crVsslng a parttisqunre and ex-
changed a ftw words! 'of greeting and
as he passed on beard this conversa-
tion: "Who was that? '
"OU that is the alctor!1
"He does not look much like an actor
off the stage."
"Still l-ss when he's ou the stage."
returned the critic AVgimaut .

Sitting Bull.
To look at Sitting Bull one would say
that he was always quiet and self con-
tained. In fact be did usually keep
himself under control but he wag cruel
ana almost heartless. He bad prac-
ticed cruelty to animals and men from
his childhood and as long as he lived;
he was lull of passion and often very
angry. He was always Imperious and
Insolent toward our generals the In-
dian agent and other friends of the
great lather at Washington whom he
claimed to hate. He bad great talent
and ability to plan campaigns and bat-
tles and wonderful Influence In bring-
ing Indluns together. Notwithstand-
ing all this he was afraid of death
and though he planned the greatest
victory whir'h the Indians ever gamed
over white men. Sitting Bull himself
was a coward and disgraced himself
even before his own people by running
away In the very face of success.

Folklore Stories.
The Journal of American Folklore
has some interesting folk tales of the
Nez Terces Indians:
"Once the sun fell down from the
sky Just about sunrise. Mole caught
It and held It up until people got there
and helped him to shove it back. The
sun had meant to roll along on the
ground instead of In the s!.y. It was
from holding up the sun that Mole's
hands are bent so far back.
