A Case Wtorre Two Actors Displayed Presence of Hind. A short ttoe ago a groat historical play was being given in an Italian theater. The king had to read his speech from the throne. He was sur rounded by the court, all the repre sentative nobles of the nation, the gov ernors of the provinces and the heads of the army. Clad In his magnificent robes (lined with rabbit skin) he stalked majestic ally across the stage, and, with fitting hauteur, slowly ascended the steps leading to the throne. Every one bowed low. and the chancellor handed to his majesty the parchment roll from which to read the royal speech. All waited attentively to catch the words from the royal lips, but his maj esty found, to his chagrin, that the roll was blank. The speech was long and had not been committed to mem ory. It was Impossible to get through It with the aid of the prompter, for he was too far away to render the need ful service. A bright thought passed through the royal brain. Having glanced over the roll as if to gather the gist of the speech, he again folded it and handed it back to the chancellor with the command: "You read it." The chancellor was somewhat put out, but dutifully took the roll and opened it, only to discover the royal pleasantry, whereupon, again rolling the parchment up and taking from his breast the resplendent tin order, he laid them together at the king's feet with: "Your majesty, as I cannot read the speech, I tender my resignation," and walked off the stage. ' Sure Enoncb Tale. In one of the private schools here in town there is a small boy who is al ways cheerfully miles behind every body else. He is not a dull boy, but learning does not appeal to him as be ing a thing especially to be desired. Recently the teacher told the class in composition that on the next day she would expect each of them to be able to' write a short anecdote. She ex plained with great care the meaning of the word anecdote, and next day when she called the class up to write all but the laggard went at once to work. "Why don't you write an anecdote. Rob?" asked the teacher. , "I forget what an anecdote Is," said Rob, undisturbed. "I explained toyou yesterday, Rob, and you ought to remember," said the teacher, a bit out of patience. "An anecdote is a tale. Now write." Rob bent over bis slate and, with much twisting of brow and writhing of lip ground out bis task. When the slates were collected, his was at the very top of the heap. The teacher picked it up, and this Is what she read: "Yesterday we had soup made from the anecdote of an ox." Youth's Com panion. Fresh tVmfr Sprlaaa Iri Jffidoeeam, Several 'fresh water fountains are known to exist In the gulf of Mexico, where vessels have frequently filled their casks with ice cold sweet water that comer up like a ceyser In ihe midst of the salt water. The fresh water springs, as the sailers call them, hare been known in the -gulf for 200 or 300"years. They were discovered by early voyagers and were the salvation of many a mariner whose supply,! fresh" water ran short while he was becalmed to the doldrums. Some of the fresh watt r springs' .are marked upon the chart but there is so little need of them nowadays by the steam ers on the gulf and the sailing fleet It so small Unit no attention is paid to them, and they hare passed out of the knowledge of the younger skipper.- Chicago Record." . i - .

It is well known to the few medical men that many cases of insanity are directly due to overeating and the con sequent absorption into the circulation of toxic matters from the intestinal tract, and melancholia, whether in mild or severe form, is generally due to this cause. Violent paroxysms of temper, whether in children or adults, are often properly referable to a Lad state of the blood from this autcUoxemla, as are In deed the exceedingly exuberant spirits of old or young at times. Just as we observe In alcoholic poisoning, some Individuals are made temporarily Jolly and good natured; others are made ugly and unreasonable. In view of this condition of affairs isn't it rather a' wise plan for us all to consider rather the needs of the or ganism for food than the mere ques tion of palate tickling, to aim to eat good Instead of bad food and enough of It that Is, not 'too much to have the conditions about right when we take our meals; in brief to try and treat our bodies decently even though we act from a purely sensual point of view? In no other way can we secure the highest possible degree of pleasure on the average, while by acting thus sensibly we may enjoy practical Im munity from disease. ' The more exercise we take under proper conditions, the more we are ex posed to cold, and the clearer we keep from excess In clothing the more we may eat; hence, In order to enjoy the fullest measure of table pleasures, we must live actively, wear as little cloth ing as is consistent with comfort and do considerable "roughing" sometimes called hardening. With all this we should take our meals at times when the body or brain Is not overtired, and when we "have leisure to digest, and, of all things, we should never eat tin less we are hungry. To eat without an appetite Is self abuse of the most stupid sort. . since it affiorda no'pleasure and is productive of disease. Physical Culture. A Clever Canary. A lady who had loRt a canary hap pened to be attracted by a bird that wns hopping about In Its cage in the front window of a bouse In New York. Thinking that It looked very like her own. she knocked at the bouse door and asked a few questions about It. She was told that it had been found one cold morning sitting on the win dow sill and was taken In and cared for. The lady said her bird could per form the pretty feat xf picking up a pin and ticking it In the carpet Be ing allowed to test this bird, the cage door was opened and a phi thrown on the floor. The canary at once flew down to it, picked it up in Its bill and cleverly stuck It upright in the carpet, after which It burst Into song, as if re joicing at its success. -The folk of the house, believing the lady had proved her ownership of the' bird, permitted her. says Little Folks, to take the songster away to her home. ' ' He Missed Her. a speecn wmcn naa a pathetic as well as an amusing side is said to have been made by an old New Hampshire man on the occasion of his second wed ding.

The demands made on China bv the cowers, as cabled to Washington yesterday by Minister Conger, are regarded as altogether too severe to be approved by this govern ment. The president and the members of bis cabinet discussed the matter for more than an hour this morning. : tffiey bad the text of the Conger message, which came to the state department in cipher yesterday, before them, and the conditions laid down by the ministers of the powers at Pekin were carefully ex amined. The opinion was unanimous that the demands, if not unjunt, are certainly in discreet and impracticable. The case is regarded with some hope, however, from the fact that these demands, framed largely according to the judgment of the ministers, are tentative in character and are subject to the approval of the several governments. That the United States cannot co-operate with the plans of the other powers, except as to general fea tures, unless these tentative demands are modified, is regarded as t ertain. .
