I read in a scien- Uue paper the other day that if a mean were built on the same lines Aas a flea he could jump from Philadelphia to Pittsburg in one leap. I course, mean, of if he had all the power of a flea increased in proportion to his size. Phink how quickly he could circum- navigate the globe. It might be possi- ble to get around the world in an hour. The distance from Philadelphia to Pittaburg is 354 miles, and the equato- rial circumference of the earth is 24,- 902 miles. “A simple calculation in mental arith- | metie will show you that this would be | It surely | a fraction over 70 leaps. wouldn't take a minute for each jump, judged from the liveliness of the flea. Think of coming in here, with three or | four customers ahead of you, and, in- stead of sitting down and waiting, just taking a few jumps around the world to kill time. There you are, sir. Witch a er bay rum?’—Philadelphia Rec- | erd. One Point of Resemblance, “The elder Sothern was a good story | teller, and he particularly liked to dwell | on his experiences at the outset of his stage life, when he was a minor mem- ber of the John McCullough company,” said the old time theater goer. “McCulleugh was playing in Texas, and in one town where he was billed to play ‘Ingomar,’ through some accident on the railroad, the necessary costumes were delayed. “The manager was equal to the situ- ation, however. He went to every butcher’s shop in town and hired all the sheep and cow hides he could to dress up his supers. “Wien McCullough came on the stage that night, he fell back appalled by the stench of the hastily improvised cloth- ing worn by the barbarians. “*What do you think of them? Soth- ern laughingly asked McCullough, pointing to the supers as the curtain rolled down. “They peither act like, look like nor | talk like barbariars,’ curtiy growled the tragedian, ‘but, by the gods, they smell like them.’ ”’~—Kansas City Inde pendent. oe He Didn’t Choke. Toward Mecca the thoughts and as- pirations of all pious Moslems are turned. and at least once in his life- time the good Mohammedan is expect- ed to make a pilgrimage to that city. One of the duties of the pilgrim im- mediately after his arrival is to make a journey seven times round a holy portico outside the mosque. “We went at a great pace,” says an Englishman, who, disguised as a Mo- hammedan, paid a visit to Mecca at the risk of his life, “and the day was growing hot. When the procession was over, we came back to the mosque and were each given a bow! of limpid water. 1 was so thirsty that 1 drank mine at a draft and asked for more, whieb I noticed produced a very good impression, for, as | afterward learned, this was the sacred water of Temzen, which an infidel cannot drink without being choked. “This was supposed to be the water which was supplied to Hagar when she was perishing In the desert.”— Christian Endeavor World.

Algernon Dougherty of the United States diplomatic service has qualities of his own to account for his success | as well as being the son of the famous | “Silver Tongued” Dougherty of Phila- delphia. One of the rules of the aris- tovratic Parisian concierge is that while one may ride up in the elevator one must not ride down. It was Mr. | Dougherty who broke down this rule | in a house in the Rue de Maturin. He started down, and the concierge stopped the elevator. “It is forbidden.” “By whom?” “The proprietor forbids it,” said the concierge. Mr. Dougherty drew himself up and said, “Tell your proprietor that I for- bid him to forbid me anything!’ and rode on down. And now even the | timid maiden ladies on the sixth floor | play with that elevator as though it were a tame cat.—San Francisco Argo- naut. The Gallery Answered Martha, Of the Dublin gallery boys a famous baritone, in his reminiscences, tells some good stories—one of “Faust,” in which he played Valentine. After the duel Martha, who rushed in at se head of the crowd, raised Val- entine’s bead and held bim in ber arws during the first part of the scene and cried out in evident alarm: “Ob, what shall 1 do?” There was a deathlike stillness in the house, which was interrupted by a voice from the gallery calling out: **Unbutton his weskit!”’ His Company. Mark Twain, meeting Charles Guth- rie, a prominent British lawyer, in Vi- enna. asked him if be smoked. “Some- times, when | am in bad company,” was the reply. After a pause came a second ques- tion: “You’re a lawyer, aren’t you, Mr. Guthrie?” “l am. Mr. Clemens.” “Ah. then, Mr. Guthrie, you must be a very heavy smoker!” When a woman calls her husband up by telephone without his knowing who she is, she is always surprised to see how politely he addresses her at first.—Somerville Journal.
