jars civil—NINE rips ' GLIMPSE AT STORE LIFE.
One of the'Grentest of Them Is the
'Multiplicity of Social
Obligations.
“My dear,” said a. newlynnarried
,young woman on the South side to
her husband the other evening, says
the Chicago Inter Ocean, “I have
planned to have mother and father
come to supper with us and spend the
evening to—morrow. Mary Johnston
said today that she and her husband
'we-re going to call on us Thursday evena
ing. Friday evening is the'dance at the
Kenwood club, and you know you pro‘m-
ised to take me to see 801 Smith Russel]
Saturday night.”
' “But, my dear,” protested her hus-
band, ‘fwe have got to go over and see
the old folks one night this week. And
I told Billy Mathew that I would call
him up to-mlorrow=and tell him what
night before Sunday we would be at l
home. And then you know I a solute-
ly have to write. that speech this week.
And where do I get any time to read
or rest?” ‘
“Yes, I knew there was something
else,” put in his wife, disregarding his
question. “There is a musicale at Mrs.
‘White’s Saturday evening. But we
can’t go- to that, I suppose.”
“My dear,” declared her husband, sol-
emnly, “it is all right to talk about
‘doubling your joys and halving your
so-rrows’ when you’ get married. It- is
a great deal more true to say you double
your engagements and halve~ your
time.”
LEFT HIS HAND AT SAN JUAN.
That \‘Vas “"hy a Chicago StreetCal
Passenger Did Not Assist ‘
u \Voman. ' '
He climbed aboard the car slowly and
with evident weakness, and dropped
into the only vacant seat, notwithstand-
ing the fact that several women who
had entered with him were left stand-
ing, and that one of them was so heavim
ly loaded with bundles that she couldn’t-
even make use of a strap. This wom-
an planted herself directly in front of
the weak-looking man and swayed to
and fro grimly before him. glaring an-
grily down into his emaciated count-e-
nance the while. Presently the car
lurched suddenly around a corner, and
one of her bundles fell to the floor, with
a. great sound of breaking glass and
china. The indignant woman gathered
the fragments of her ruined household
treasures with hasty, impulsive move-
ments, and, straightening up, fairly
snorted at the man before her, says the
Chicago Inter Ocean.
“You might at. least have put out a
hand to save it,” she told him, eon-
temptuously. The man colored. hesi-
tated and then spoke quietly:
' “I have no hand on that side, ma-
dam,” he said, while all the other pas-
sengers listened with sympathetic in-
terest; “I left it at San Juan.”
BRIDGING BEHRING SEA.
Results of the Deposit of Immense
Quantities of Debris by the
Mighty Yukon River.
Prof. W. J. McGee, of Washington,
declares that two slow but interesting
'changes are taking place in Behring
sea. .The immense quantity of debris
that is borne down the Yukon from its
'sources and sides is being deposited in
lthe sea beyond the mouth of that
,mighty stream, and its weight causes
the bed of the sea to subside. A cor-
responding rise in the earth’s crust is
produced along the chain of the Aleu-
tian islands. Now, not only are the
islands themselves increasing in size
in consequence of being lifted up out
of the water, but new islands are being
formed in the gaps between the others.
In some instances the new islands are
the result. of the rise, and in others
they are the result of volcanic action.
Most of the Aleutians are of volcanic
origin, and they mark the position of
a fold in the earth’s crust that is pre-
disposed to eruption. In time, Prof.
McGee says, there is likely to be a nat-
ural bridge from America to Asiaalong
this route, but he admits that nobody
now living is going to see it.
Tia-c Scotti: Pole.
L’Eclair, of Paris, recently published
an elaborate article, “tres documente,"
signed Dagoubert, and concerningitself
with the discovery of the south pole.
According to Dagoubert the region
about the pole is inhabited and organ-
ized as a kingdom, having the name
“L'Etlat. d’A-dclie.” It. is said to contain
]'0C,OOO inhabitants. of whom 600,000 are
French and 40,000 Popuans. A trav-
eler who, Dagoubert. says, happened to
reach this country of the south pole
\has lately arrived in Paris. Helis about
to apply to the ministry and proposes
a protectorate of the country and a sub:
sidy for it of 40,000,000 francs a year.
There is said to be much gold in the
country, which is jealously guarded by
the inhabitants. '.Some notice is being
paid M. Dagou‘o‘ert by scientific men.
and he is likely. it is said, to attract. as
‘ mach attention in Paris as Louis de
1 llougem-ont and his Australian tales did
.in London.
The Sun's Size.
In view of this enormous distance it
will be easily surmised that. the little'
disc seen with the smoked‘glass is of
colossal dimensions. in bald figures
its diameter is 866.500 miles. but this is
meaningless without some helpful sim-
ile. lt is. easierto comprehend the
moon's distance from the earth, say
. 240,000 miles; let us suppose our planet
placed at the very center of the sun
(first “hollowed out." for the eXpress‘
- purpose). andthe moon revolving about
lit in its everyday orbitr—not only un—
:rammeled bythe “shell" of the sun.
out. actually leaving room enough for
the revolution of another moon in an
orbit more than ~190.00(l miles further.
away. without fracturing the shell! in,
other words. the sun is 1.300.000 times
as large as our planet!
I Po-ssesses Some Features Similar
to Those of a Small Gonn-
ninnity.
“It would surprise an outsider to
know how much a great retail store re-
sembles a town,” remarked a clerk in
such an establishment, reports the New
Orleans Times—Democrat. “It has all
the familiar characters of a small com-
munity and all of its gossip, its circles»
and. inner circles, and. its class distinc-
tions. In a modern department-house
you Will find certain social leaders and
their regulation system of satellites. all
fully developed. There will be one
group that goes in for frivolity, and an-
other group that goes in for literature
and art, and. people who are plotting
and scheming to get into this set or
that, just as they do in the outer world.
It- is very quaintand amusirig. One em-
ploye will- have a. great reputation as a
wit and another is spoken of as a re-
markable musical genius; certain sec-
tions of the establishment will be re-
gard ed as aristocratic, while others are
looked upon as rather plebeian. In
short», the store is a~ little’ municipality
within'itself, and its people are curious-
ly isolated from the outside public;
They revolve in their own particular
orbits, the gossip that. fliesabout the
place deals with the people inside its
walls, and. they care very little for any
other news. Their feeling toward an-
other establishment is a good deal like
the feeling between two rival towns,
and the other folks in the city are all
more or less aliens and outlanders. It’s
a very curious life, and has- to be seen
from the inside to be fully understood.
Zola tried to paint. it- in one of his nov-
els, but. he missed it. by miles." .
HOMES IN MANILA.
How People Live in Uncle Sam’s
Newly Acquired Asiatic
Territory.
The better houses in Manila differ in
some ways from any otherin the world.
Always of two stories, there is a high-
stone basement, with a carriage way to
the court, where are the servants' quar-
ters and domestic ofi'ices. The upper
story is of wood, being complete in
its-elf, so that in case of an earthquake
it will settle together. Thevceilings- are
covered with cloth instead of plaster. A
wide stairway leads up from. the car-
riage may. Between three and four
feet above the floor of this story is a
wide window ledge with grooves- run-
ning the whole length of every side.
In these grooves slide blinds and also
frames in which are set small squares
of oyster shell (called “concha-s”). Both
linds and conchas run the full length
of each side. Either or both can be
closed at the same time, and both can
be slid back to the Width of one at each
end, leaving the whole side open, and
allowing the air to circulate as freely
as in a. shed. The roofs were‘formerly-
made of heavy curved tile-s. I’wow gal-
vanized iron is used, as it vast-1y de-
creases the chance of the roof falling
during an earthquake, and lessens the
damage if it does. On the other hand
the iron roof is much more likely to be
blown oil by the terrible typhoons. The
native houses are built of bamboo, with
thatched roofs made of the leaf of the
nipa. palm and elevated from six to ten
feet- on bamboo poles.
USED HIS BEST FRENCH.
But There Is Some Doubt as to
Whether Monsieur Monvel
Understood Him.
It. was at the recent-De Monvel recep—
tion in Chicago, and one of the couples
standing in line didn’t know enough of
French between them to put at-the head
of a menu card. The young man
couldn't even say: “Hang it!" in. any
other tongue than his own, and the
young woman was earnestly endeavor—
ing to share the few scattered phrases
from the language of Cyrano and De
Monvel which she had painstakingly ac-
quired for the occasion, with him.
“ lon soir, M. Monvel,” she patiently
and persistently instructed him to say;
"an afi'aire tres charmaute,” and tothis
the young fellow consented, albeit with
much reluctance and not a little
grumbling. '
“I’ll bet it would do every bit as well
if I remarked “l3 pluribus unum’ or ‘au-i'
wiedersehen,’ " he complained. as they
drew near to the great man, and when
they stood in front of this magnificent
personage his companion nearly faint-
ed. The young man’s confidence and
self-assurance had deserted him entire-
ly, and “Good evening, Mr. Monsieur;
e pluribus unum." was what he really
said. -
Armin/ml Epicurcs. 9
In its stories of animal life the‘Strand
Magazine tells of an oldsheep dog that
was used to keep foxes away from a
chicken farm and who did it success-
fully. Nevertheless the chickens would
disappear. Out of a brood of 25 there
would be left only three. The dog was
at last. suspected, but as he would per-
mit the chickens to climb all over him
this was considered a libel. But close
watching showed that early in the
morning when none but. chickens were
astir, of which the dog would make
sure by listening at the house doors
and looking up at the windows, he
wouldfiurn to and treat himself to a
good square meal of chicken. Another
story is of a horse that. having been
treated to bread. at a customer‘s once
or twice. would. when he had a chance,
cross the sidewalk. and with his mouth .
hammer the brass knocker on thedom
until his wants were attended to.

Ruined Iii-u ill-title.
Sweden was ruined by a single battle.
It was the battle of Pultowa, in 1709.
In this battle Peter the: Great of Bus-
sia defeated Charles XII. of Swede-n.
Sweden, under the Great Gustavus, had
risen to the position of a first-class Eu-
ropean power, while Russia was just
emerging out of obscurity. Charles
XII., by his marvelous victories, seemed
on the way to make Sweden one of the
greatest of the powers. The crushing
blow that was dealt. at Pultowa. ruined-
Sweden. At the battle of J ena, in 1806.
Napoleon crushed the kingdom of PruSv
sia. The battles of Sadowa and Sedan
practically crushed France and Aus-
tria.—Cincinnati Enquirer.
