The optimist's' aklea. are sometimes clouded . ast little, and the songs of the birds, the murmur of the brooks, tha croon of the bees fall to gladden him as they should. The Arerae xhaa -would . be ashamed o confess it, but there are times when he almost wishes , he were not an animate thlag, pos sessing the living, . lntelectual. en dowments that ' enable him to -rote, build the kitchen fires, calculate eclipses and hustle for three meals a day. But thero Is one inanimate thing he does not care to be, and that is a woman's watch. A woman who Is not engaged in business and who does not wear her watch regularly winds It tip when ever she happens to think of it, If it be convenient to do so Just at that time. If she forgets it to-day, to morrow she will wind it up tight enough to make up for lost time. Any first-claas jeweler who has made a study of the question will tell y ou j that a . woman's watch should have a three-ply boiler-iron case that cannot be gotten into under any. circumstances, even with a .can-opener or a, full kit of bur glar's tools. It should be wound up to go a hundred years when she gets it and should be so constructed that It may be used as. a nut-cracker, a tack-hammer or for most any other all-around domestic purpose. When the baby Is net using the watch as a plaything, the timepiece usually lies open on . the dresser where it Is forced to make a collec tion of dust,; hair, burnt matches and other bric-a-brac The owner of the watch Is always happy to open It at any and all times so that those interested may watch the wheels go round. j If the watch ever gets more than Its capacity of trash, aad can no longer assimilate among its mechan ism the refuse crcwdedlnto it; then, If it dares to stop to catch its breath, it I pounded on the back and shaken till its works become loosened and make such a merry sound that the baby loves to use the timepiece for: a rattle. ' Then If it doesn't go Its owner pries about among Its wheels and springs with a hairpin or a toothpick. . Finally she takes "the mean stub born old thing" to the jeweler who cleaned and repaired it three years ago, and gives him a blowing up be cause he didn't know enough to fix the watch so It would run a little while without stopping. ' 1 We all have our dark days, but in the momenta of our deepest gloom we should think of 1 the unhappy fate of a woman's watch, and thank ing our lucky stars ', that we' are not so bad off as we might be, press joy fully on to the smiling future that awaits us. Nixon Waterman, la Chicago Journal. ! , - A FlgMlitg HsrC George Diefenback has a game hen from county GrJl way," Ireland, that Is better than a rat terrier. The .other morning a large' rat tried to get at the hen's nest. Instantly the hen was all feathers. "When the rat tried to run under her, she pecked at him viciously. The rat jumped at her and tried to catch her by the neck. Every time the rat came at the hen she dropped her wings and met him more than half way. Once the rat pulled out a little bunch of feathers, but his' jump was short, and he failed to catch the hen's neck. This made the hen more angry. She weat at the rat In earnest. The rat would snap its jaws and squeak in a great rage. The two fought tor half an hour, and then tbe hen killed the rat. The rat weighed three pounds. Louisville Courier-Journal. A Naval Cloud AtTaa. A cloud atlas on a novel principle has appeared. Its object is to show how the weather can be foretold by the appearance of the sky and clouds over night, and it consists of a series of pictures of these under various conditions. By noting the appear ance of the 6ky and comparing it with one or more of these pictures an idea of the coming weather can be obtained. For instance,, fair weather will break ip when the first clouds to appear are cirri high up. If rapidly changing to nimbus, rain follows. A long list of such changes Is given, the " color and contour of which appear in the pictures.

TTTTrNr no a tt FIGHT Trainer Has an Exciting Expectance at a Rehaaraat. ; Helnrich Mehrman, the animal trainer, had a fight for his life In the big Iron cage ia the winter circus building, and only his coolness saved him from being severely Injured" says the. Philadelphia Times. His antagonist was a big polar bear, qne of the Hagenbeck group, and th fight took - place daring the re hearsal, in Mr. Mehrman's act there is one plaoe where he forms soologicaj pyramid, The polar beail Muffel, U placed at the apex of the pyramid. During the act he has tc mount a pedestal about twelve feet high and it was. while attempting to get him to do this recently that tbe trouble arose. When the time came for him tr take his place he refused to budgeJ Aiver worning nafd for half an hour Mr. Mehrman, called for a block and tackle. This was fastened to the top ot tbe cage, and then came the task of getting the rope around the bear. Just as his trainer was about to slip the rope In its place the bear,' with 4 quick dash of his paw, tort half of Mehrman's coat off his bek and cut a long gash in his arm. Then the battle began. Down came the whip and the bear used every means possible to get at his man; In the cage with them were six teen other animals, and they all looked on except the big lion Sultan: He got down cautiously from hii perch, and made his way, creeping like a cat toward Mehrman. L of the keepers on the outside called to Mehrman, and the warning came none too soon. All was excitement. Men ran for Iron rods, but. none were needed. The grit of the trainer was roused, and the lash of his short whip flew faster and faster. First one and then the other felt the thong, and step by step the twe angry beasts were forced back to their places. The fight lasted nearly a quarter of an hour, and the trainer was drip ping wet with perspiration when it ended. Once more tbe attempt was made to get the rope around the bear, and this time with success. The men on the outside of the cage caught hold of the other end, and up went the bear to his pedestal, growl ing and biting, but he could not get away. This operation was kept up until he learned that he was not master of the situation. . THE CZAR'S PHYSICIAN. Eccentricities of the Famous Prac titioner ef Moscow. Prof. Zakharin, of Moscow, who attended the czar during his recent serious Illness, Is almost as well known Iq Russia for his eccentricl ties as for his eminence as a physi cian. When he Is called to attend to a patient, says the British Medi cal Journal, special arrangements must be made in the house; all dogs must be kept out of the way, all clocks must be stopped, all doors , . , professor on entering begins a proc- S tL1 Tf iD' Ua must be thrown wide orvMi. Thm nis xurs in tbe bail, his overcoat In the next room, hlr goloshes In the third, etc. He " Insists on perfect silence on the part pf the afflicted relatives, except In reply to his questions, when their speech must be literally "yea" and "nay." Ue has a theory which he expresses In the maxim: "Take a rest before you are tired," and, accordingly, he sits down every eight or ten steps. His demeanor towards doctors with whom he happens to be unacquainted makes him greatly feared by them, and some eight years ago a kind ot public agitation was got up in op position to him in which many hun dreds of doctors took part. Reso lutions were passed and addresses were presented, and echoes of the gathering storm made themselves heard In the press These manifes tations oi feeling were speedily re pressed in the way characteristic of Russia. The then general-governor of Moscow, Prince Dolgorukoff, sent for the editor of the medical journal In which the addresses were printed and told hjm that If he published a word more about Zakharin, he would have " to leave Moscow " In twenty-four hours' time. , His ec centricities," however, cease at the bedside of his patient; there he Is courteous and considerate, most painstaking and minute in his ex amination, and very thorough in nis treatment. So successful has j be oeen In bis profession that he is believed to be worth some half-mil- Uno afarliva. A SPARROW HANGED. Sad Ending of a Little Feathered Life : in New York City. Half a doten pugnacious and dis putatious English .sparrows have been nesting In the crevices at the top of a big Iron pillar pf a stotfi at Nineteenth streetand Sixth avenue.. One of the spry little fellows was busy the other morning fixing tip his home. . He had picked up along string somewhere and was preparing to put it in hif nest.

Neither Oxford nor Cambridge Is strong In fiction, but Cambridge possesses two names of the first rank, Sterne and Thackeray. The majority Of our great novelists graduated In the rougher school cf the world, and probably acquired jthere a better equipment for their :work than any university could givB them.

Smollett 0721-71) came tof a good ' Scotch family, and, of course, received a sound education; went up to London at eighteen with a tragedy la his pocket which was to bring him fame and fortune, but, his hopes being blighted, became surgeon's mate on board a man-of-war during the Carthagena expedi tion in '1741, a post abandoned la disgust on his return, but one, never theless, which proved of inestimable service to him In his j new career as author In providing! material for those inimitable sketches of naval life and character with which his novels abound. ' f Scott (1771-1832) was brought up to the law, and during the kog va cations went on those expeditions to Llddesdale and elsewhere, which, to gether with his legal experiences, were to be turned to account for the delight of thousands tn the years to come, Dickens (1S11-70) was sent to a school it Chatham Kept by a Bap? liai minister, until ike age of ten. when began that vagmat exUience of whlchno readerT-Davld perfleld" needs to be told, and during which, to use Dickens' own words, "but for the mercy of Ood he might easily have -become, for any care that was taken of hint, a little rob ber or a little vagabond." Temple Bar. THE SMALLEST NEWSBOY. An Incident Thai Occurred On aa Uptown Trolley Car. I saw him one night as I was going down street on a trolky car. The car. was full of people, tired and glad to get home; when just as we passed one of the big dry goods stores, there came into the car the littlest news boy I have ever seen. ' He was not a baby, but he was not -bigger than some babies I have seen.. He had a lot of evening papers under his arm, and his ragged shoes hardly served to keep his toes warm4 His cheeks were red, and he looked into the car In such a queer, surprised way that I felt he did not know what to do. Maybe he had to sell papers to help his poot mother. His dirty little coat told me he was poor, and, as he did not offer his papers, I reached out for one, and put some money .In his hand, and It went Into his pocket. He did not offer to "git e back, any change, tn fact he did cert seem to know bow to sell papers a tail. Then a lady next to me gave him five cents, but would gentleman bought One, then another. until when the Door.' ouxzled little chap went to get off the car, and a policeman lifted him down, every body in he car had 'an evening paper. What was his name? I don't know. He never said a word while he was tn the car, only just bashfully walked along in tbe car and people took bis papers and gave him the money. I called him "Ducky." N.

Very little has been said about the history of this grand old hymn and Its melody, and It was Flora E. Berry.
