ALWAYS CHEWED THt RAO.
Grandfather1* Odd Habit Had Embaro
raatlng Conaaqoenee*.
"My grandfather had one curtoua
habit." aaid a Virginia woman In tha
Washington Poet. "Ha chewed tha
rag constantly. I don't mean It >ln a
figurative ae& e. either. 1 mean it
literally. When he waa about 60 tha
doctora per mauled him to give up tha
uae of lobaroo. and ha uaed a rag in*
atead. Grandmother uaed to cut
worn-Out tabler lot ha Into little aquarea
and lay them in a drawer ready for
grandfather. When he wu going out
anywhere, she tucked several Into his
waistcoat pocket. He chewed from
daylight till dark. Once grandfather
and I went to the funeral of a great
man here in town. Grandmother waa
ill that day, and forgot to tell me
about the raga. We sat well up
toward the front; and grandfnther was
no aoonei seated than he put two
flngera into hla walatooat pockets tfo
rag. He searched through all hla
pocketa. one after another. No rug
anywhere. He began to wriggle about
In hla aaat uneaally. He was in
mlaary with nothing to work his Jaws
on. The aervlce want on, and when
the choir rose to sing. I saw one of
graadfather's hands disappear under
his waistcoat. His eyes were (lied on
the choir and be looked determined.
There waa a fortiaamo burst of music
—and then in the instant of abaolute
r.t Illness which followed, everybody
beard something twu. Grandfather
turned a vivid purple, but when he
raised hla head after the prayer a
little later, hia Jawa were at work.'
LEGEND OF THE OSTRICH,
Dwells In Solitude as Punishment for
Presumption.
Among the Araba there la a curious
legend to account for the ostrich's
residence in the desert. "On a certain
day appointed." ao the story goes,
"all created beings met together to
decide upon their respective order
r>t.i! precedence. All went smoothly
un:!l the ostrich, pleading Its Inability
to fly. disowned the birda and claimed
to take rank with the mammals.
"These, however, would have noth-
ing to a ay to a creature clothed not
with far, but with feathers, while the
birda, when the ostrich went dejected-
ly back, repudiated it also as a traitor
to Its race. But the ostrich was equal
to the occasion and declared that being
neither mammal or bird it must be an
angel
"At this all the other animals Indig-
nantly rushed upon the ostrich and
drove it before them into the desert,
where It has lived In solitude ever
stuca. with no one to contradict It."
FOR SCIENTISTS TO SOLVE
Lake in Patagonia Where Water
Rises and Falls In Odd Way.
Capt. H. C. Crosthwait dlrecta at-
tention in an English science Journal
to the magnetic and meteorological
observatory establlahed by the Ar-
gentine government on New Year
Island, a small Island about Ave miles
off the coast of Staten Island, Pata
gonia. says the Baltimore American.
The observatory which is complete in
every respect, is superintended by
fOur Argentine naval officers. It was
e- oned In February. 1®02. The mag-
netic observatory Is kept at an almost
constant temperature of 64 degrees
P. Many Interesting facts about
Ticrra del Fuego are given by Capt
Crosthwait in .his paper He directs
attention to the astonishing number
and variety of the placicrs. and to the
fact that most of the larger ones show
signs of shrinkage. He says that San
Martin lake nndoubtedlj occupies
What was once a strait Joining the
Atlantic and Pacific oceans. The
level of the water of tha lake rises
•n<1 falls In a peculiar manner. Exact
measurements of these "seiches'
show that the movements are irreg-
hlar. but on an average they amount
to about live inches, having a period
Of about four minutes between twd
Successive high waters. The surface
of the water to the eye is perfectly
Smooth.
The best way to keep his day Is to

It Pays to Advertise.
When James Gordon Bennett the
elder was editor of the Herald. Rob-
ert Bonner, publisher of the New York
Ledger, was struggling to build up it*
circulation, and decided to try a little
advertising. He wrote an announce-
ment consisting of eight words: "Heart
Mrs. Southworth's New Story in the
Ledger," and sent it to the Herald
marked for "one line." Mr. Bonner s
handwriting was so bad that the
words were read in the Herald office
as "one page.'' Accordingly the line
was set up and repeated so as to oc-
cupy one entire page. Mr. Bonner
was thunderstruck the next morning.
He had not to hts name money enough
in the bank to pay the bill. He rushed
excitedly over to the Herald office,
but waa too late to do any good.
In a short time the results of the
page announcement began to be felt

LOSING THE POWER TO ACT.
Habit of Procrastination Paralyzes
the Will.
"Never put oft to to-morrow what
you can do to-day." How very, very
quickly procrastination takes root and
what little encouragement It requires
to grow into a mighty plant! A cer-
tain letter should be written, a visit
paid, but we do not at all care a'.iout
the task, and perhaps are not over
>nd of the person in question, and so
ve shelve the duty until, when finally
we force ourselves to It, we as ab-
ounded to find that the neglected duty
