HER HUSBAND’S CLOSET.
And What the Grateful Wife Said and
Did When She Saw It.
There was once a husband who
dreumeil of having u"closet all his own.
He dreamed of a place where ho could
go at night ami find things just the
same as they were in the morning. He
dreamed of a place in which he did not
occupy with his timid little two suits
a remote hook, while all the rest of the
circumambient space was tilled with—
well, what every husband knows. He
dreamed, and he said, "1 will take aJ
vantage of my wife's absence and hire
a carjieuter and a locksmith and fix
that closet up to suit myself and put
on it an Impregnable lock and key, and '
then 1 shall laugh softly and say, 'At
last the great day has come!’ "
And he did it.
And when that night his wife came j
home and saw the work that he had
done, she said:
“Where is that key?"
And the bus! and, trembling—for he
was no Bluebeard—produced It forth- j
with. And when she saw the ample :
space within she fell on his neck and
said:
“My darling, the four new frocks 1
have bought this day, and the crepe tic j
chine party wrap, and the fur lined
Mother Hubbard, and the others—your '
thoughtfulness has provided for."
And tbe man went out in the garage
and hanged his dress suit tiiere—as he
bad been wont to do—and sighed to
himself, saying, “Good night 1”—Life.

Pronunciation In Ireland.
Mauy persons seem to see, or to bear,
rather; something to be amused at in
the soft Irish brogue. As a matter of
fact, most of the words of the Irish
“dialect” are not Irish at all, but the
purest of English—English a trifle an
tiquated, it is iiue, but nevertheless the
real thing. The eais of Milton, Dry
den, Spenser and Chaucer would not
have been surprised to hear an Irish
man speak of "a rough say" or “nclane
shirt.” At the court of good Queen
Bess the cultured Englishman careful
ly garnished his conversation with
“goolde” rings and brave “swoordes"
and bored his friends with accounts of
the smart sayings of the “cbildre’’ at
“boom.” This was the English origi
nally imported into Ireland by the cul
tured Irish, and the Irish have found
it good enough to preserve.—Chicago
Tribune.

POWER OF THE GYROSCOPE.
Witoprud Um of What Wao at FI rot
Rogardod oo a Moro Toy.
Tinkering In his machine shop to de
sign a novel Christmas present for one
of his hoys. Elmer A. Sperry a few
years back stumbled on to a half dozen
new applications of what hnd previous
ly been regarded HK 11 merely inter 1
esting mechanical curiosity, tlie gyro
scope.
Now his inventions will keep a ship !
from rocking and the passengers from
seasickness, an airship from air pock- i
ets and furnish the only true compass
that the mariner, guide or air pilot
knows. Making the gun dock of a bat- j
tleship as steady a gun mount as may
tie had on land, ttie gyroscojK* eventual
ly will double the eflieiency of the
navy, it is said. Anything that needs
stability, excluding itosslble Central
American governments and street cars,
needs a gyroscope. Mr. Sperry told a
Detroit audience.
The use of submarines ami airships
has l>een made possible largely through
the gyroscope.' Before the stabilizers
were put aboard the undersea boats,
because of their cigar-like sita|>e, rolled
so frightfully that no man could live in
them. With one of the little “toiw"
aboard the Deutschland can ride as
evenly as a mammoth liner on a
smooth sea. The principal advantage j
to airships has t*een in the gyroaco|ie
compass, which possesses tijje advan
tage of always pointing north. An ordi
nary magnetic compass in practical use
under stress points anywhere from
northwest to northeast—and sometimes
southeast.—Detroit News.
NAMING A CITY.
How It Came About That Sadalia Was
Not Called Sedville.
The city of Sedalia was both found
ed and named by General George It.
Smith, who was a distinguished citizen
of Missouri, lie was a Virginian by
birth und a Kenttukian by upbringing.
As a young man lie cauie to Missouri
ami settled ut Georgetown, which is
three miies north of the present city of
Sedalia. He was prominent both in
politics and business and was instru
mental in the building of the Missouri
Pacific railway from St. Louis to Kan
sas City during the fifties of the last
century.
He could not induce his fellow towns
men to make the necessary eftort to
have the railway pass through George
town, and, believing that that would
condcu u the village to decay, he bought
a large liact of land la-side the railway
tracks und laid out a town site there,
from which, in course of time, has
grow n the flourishing city of Sedalia.
When it came to turnishing a name
for the new settlement General Smith
determined to christen it Sedville. in
honor of his younger daughter Sarah,
whose pet name in the family circle
was "Seil.'' One of his friends. Josiah
L>ent of St. I.ouls. suggested that
“ville” was a commonplace termina
tion and that Sedalia would be a more
beautiful and unusual name. General
Smith approved of the suggestion, and
Sedalia came officially into being when
he and his family, the first inhabitants
of the new town, moved thither in
lSTiU.— Youth’s Companion.
An interesting Illusion.
A curious and interesting effect maj
lie produced in the following simple
manner:
Take a sheet of paper or thin card
board about five inches square and roll
it into a tube, with one end just large
enough to tit around the eye and the
other end somewhat smaller Hold
the tube between the thumb and first
finger of the right hand—do not grafcp
the tube with the whole hand—and
place the larger end of the tube olosj
against the right eye. With the left
hand place a hook against the side of
the tube. If both eyes are now kept
open there will appear to be a hole
through the book, and it will appear
that objects are seen through this hole
and not through the tube. The effect
is even more odd if the left hand in
stead of a boyk is held against the
tube, when the hole will appear
through the center of the hand.
Tombstone to a Fioh.
In the little village of Bloekley, in
South Worcestershire, stands a pic
turesque little dwelling named Fish
Cottage. Enter its garden and you will
find what is probably the only tomb
stone ever erected to tbe memory of a
tish. The inscription, with its quaint
punctuation, reads as follows:
IX MEMORY OF THE OLD FISH.
