A precocious little maid of about five went to church one Sunday recently with her mother, a. devout member and regular attendant of the Episcopal church. The little one sat very quietly and demurely through all the long serv- ice, but her quick little ears and bright little brain were not so quiet as was in- dicated. After the servlce she looked up into her mother’s face. and, “Mam- ma,” she asked, earnestly, “they say ‘Ah men’ so much; why don’t they ever say ‘Ah lady?’ ”——Boston Budget. is an index to the kind of tobacco he uses.

Young Surgeon’s Experience in Cutting 01! a Man’s Big Toe. “Do you recall the first operation you ever performed yourself?” was asked a surgeon by a New York Sun reporter. “Indeed I remember it very well. - I was in ahospital where there were 3,500 beds and 33 surgeons in charge. I was one of the young, assistant surgeons. If an operation was necessary in any of the wards it was our duty to report it to the surgeon in charge, who then per- formed the Operation if he chose. I re- ported to my surgeon the importance of an amputation of a great toe. The surgeon came and looked at the man and concurred with my opinion that an amputation was necessary. I was directed to get everything ready for ‘Thcn,’ said the sur- geon, ‘I will come and operate if I can. If not, you go on and perform the op- eration yourself.’ “I told my young associates of the order, and they said: ‘Well, you go and get ready, but he won’t come. You will have to do the operation yourself.’ And that was the way it turned out. The Op- eration was to be at two o’clock. All the night before I was rehearsing what I intended to do in my. mind, and dreamed of it in. my sleep. The next day I could not eat my luncheon. My hands and feet were cold. When it came time to commence the Operation I could only steady my nerve by thread- ing needles. I said: ‘Give me the- ncedles to thread, I am very particu— lar about my thread. _ I took a needle and commenced poking at the eye. In 2. few seconds my hand obeyed my will and became as steady as I could wish. I performed the operation successfully. After that I went. on performing a great many operations, but it was years before I could take one o'clock lunch- eons if I had to operate at two O'clock.” CHICKEN IN A STREET CAR. i‘iiuscs Its Owner Much Bother, Finally Lays an _Egg, The other evening a woman boarded a cable car with a basket. All went well 'éillll suddenly a loud cackliiig came from her burden. The woman was nat— urally much embarrassed, and, while. flushing painfully, pretended to pay no attention to the obstreperous chicken which was being carried home. The vnckling continued, much to the alllllSC- merit of the passengers, who were con— vulscd with laughter. Nor did they at— fcmpt to conceal their amusement, which embarrassed the woman even more. She failed to se: anything funny in being made the bilii. of fun for ten or fifteen passengers. The cacliling chick- en seemed to have. no compassion on her owner, for she persisted in keeping up a continuous noise, notwithstanding the tenth»: shaking and the frequent “hush” which the woman gave her. As the rholding kept up, says the Pittsburgh Dispaicli, the embarrassment of the woman more off, and a. faint smile il- luminated her face. When the chicken had been cackling proudly for ten min- utes, shc concluded to open the basket to see what was the matter. Imagine her surprise and the amusement of the passengers when she picked up a brand— iiew egg which the chicken had laid in transit. and S-L—ANKET MEN. Entirely New Classof Nomads Springing Up in California. A resident of E1 Red, Cal, writes to the Topeka Kansan-Sun as follows: “There is a class of men here called ‘b‘iuiiket men.’ They go around the country in crowds and herds, each one carrying his roll of blankets, sleeping :iiiywhere. They beg from house to house something to eat. They work a few days at a. time, and then go and sit in front of a saloon until their money is gone. “lhen Sunday comes they go to a. stream and wash their clothes. It is just dreadful to think men can get so low. I never thought there was any good in the Coxey movement until now; he. was the means of getting a large number of these men outof’the state. “They say that California is the only state where they can live in that way. We ask them sometimes how they can forget their homes in the east and live like animals. They say: ‘Oh, it’s the climate! ’ Our preachersaid when here to tea: ‘I believe more people will go, to hell from California than from any other place, and it is all the fault of the climate.’ There are hundreds and hun- dreds of these men wandering from one part of the state to another. They beg for bread and work for whisky.” Ball Lightning. A week or so ago, during a thunder- storm, lightning in the shape of aball may well-known but rare phenomenon—— descended in the yard behind a house at Themenau, Austria. The ball, about one foot in diameter, was of a bril- liant blue. On reaching the ground it rolled along a short distance and then burst, flooding the Whole neighborhood with a dazzling white light. No dam- age was immediately apparent, but sev- eral liourS'after flames burst from a building situated at some distance‘from where the lightning had struck. A Cat’s Misfortune. No cat in. Maine probably had more need of her nine lives than did one in a Monmouth store recently. The large oat bin in the rear of the feed store, holding an even car load, had just been filled, when the cat, chasing a mouse, went down head first between the par-' titions of the bin, eight feet, to the floor beneath. There she remained on her head for 13 days, or until, the oats having been removed, she was discov— cred. Tabby is.now alive and well and just as eager for mice as ever. An Empress’ Clock.

Helena Modjeska’s career has been a strikingly interesting one. She born at Cracow, in Austrian Poland, about 51 years ago. Her Popido, a musician, gave.- her a Greek name on account other small Greek head, which pleased his artistic sense. He died when she was a child. A great fire burned their house and brought the large family to poverty. Two brothers became successful actors and helped her to find humble work on the stage. For years she met with no suc- cess. She married her guardian, much older than herself, named Modrzejew» ski, the real spelling of the name which We have shortened to Mojeska (the “a” the usual feminine ending). It was not until 1865 that real success began to be hers. Always an enthusiastic stu- dent in her art, she made such progu ress under the dis (ct-ion _of the Polish . director Iasinski that her growing reputation spread from Poland to Ger- many and _France. She has always been devoted to Poland, and it is re- lated that on one occasion, after she had accepted a proposal to play German tragedy in Austrian Bukowina, her pu- triotism got the bettcr‘of her ambi- tion, and she gave up the idea of play- ing in Germany on hearing a band play Polish national airs the daybefore the first performance. “It was at the time the Polish insurrection broke out, and this music made her feel as if de— serting the Polish stage at such a mo- ment would be equal to betraying the national cause.” In 1868 she married Charles Bozenta Chlapowski, a young Polish patriot and journalist. On the day of her mar- riage she first played in Warsaw, where “her triumph was the greatest ever known in the annals of the theater.” She remained in Warsaw seven years, the period of greatest advancement in her art. In 1876, with her husband and a party of friends, she visited the cen_ tennial, then went to California, bent on founding a Polish community. It was a strange experience. “They bought land, built a h0use,‘purchased cattle, liens and chickens and other necessities, and then swung hammocks under the trees, laid in a stock of cig~, arettcs and waited for the crops to grow and for the cattle to multiply. As long as the money held out they lived a delightful life. Unfortunately, there is a limit to money, and before very long it was all gone and the little colony had to turn to and work. This was too prosaic entirely for some of the members, and they continued ,to swing in the hammocks and smoke cigarettes while the others worked and waited upon them. One of the hardest workers was Mme. Modjeska. She not only cooked and scrubbed, but she milked the cows and made the butter, her husband and son doing'all the hard work of the farm, while their compan- ions looked on‘ and chuffed and sneered by turns. Even with the strictestecon— omy they could not live, and Mme. Modjeska determined to learn English and act at a San Francisco theater.” This’shc did, after six months of stud 3'. Her first appearance there, as in War- saw nine years before, was as Adri- enne Lecouvrcur. Her success was in”,- mcdiate and has never since been broken. Although she has visited Po- land, her husband and son are nat- uralized American citizens, and Amer- ica will always claim her—jointly, if need be, with Poland——as one of her brightest stars. w The story of- Russia’s recent edict against her has been widely circulated. It was because of her frank expression of sympathy with Poland, during the Columbian exposition (promptly ported to their government by Russian representatives who heard her) that Mme. Modjeska was forbidden to enter Russia. She had to abandon, at great cost to herself, an engagement to play in St. Petersburgh, but the exile, if such it is to be called, while it emphasizes her constancy to the cause of Poland. makes her more than ever an American. —Buifalo Express.
