A aughable incident occurred
one evening lately on a trip to Sac

in tile car turned SO as to face each
other. One was occupied by a lady
and the other hy a Chinaman.
Evidently tile lady did not relish
the presence Of the ChillamaD, and
set her wits al work TO oast him.
She succeeded about as follows
Motioning the Chilaman to rise,
she explained to him that she wan.
ted to take the cushions and the
frames and place them lengthwise
across from seat to seat. John said
''all aightee" and got in the aisle
while she placed the seats as above
described, and then proceeded to
lie down on the bed thus inprovis-
ed, with her head resting on her va

THE SHAH OF PERSIA.
Shah Of Persia, who is to be the
guest OF England, in the course of
the summer, is, it is said, to have
Buckingham Palace all to himself.
He is said to have taken a trihe OF
three millions sterling or so out of
the Imperial Treasury for travelling
expenses, and there is a strong i'm
preston abroad that a fair proper
ton of that amount will be ab-
sorbed. Mr.. Grant Duff, who, it
is said, speaks Persian with a purer
accent than he does English, will
be detailed for court duty. His
HighneSs is to be treated with the
most demonStrative hospitality, and
that means that a great deal Of
vivacious London life is in perspeC-
tive.

To kill rats: take q hand full
of plaster of paris and mix with it
as much pulverized sugar. Place
this on a pan on the floor, with a
bowl of water. The result is the
rats eat the sugar and plaster which
creates a thirst, they then drink
the water which causes the plaster
to become paste, which hardens and
kills the rats. This recipe was
tried in this city by an old gentle
man, and found . success.

The Wnderboh, the Troy

would give the whole truth regard

was printed last week. It gives
what purports to be Theodore Til

Tilton, having just returned from a
Summer resort, was visited by
Mr.. Reecher, who made sile pro-

and ot which she informed her hns-

at that time was in itimate relations
with Henry Bowen, and naturally

latter. Bowen himself had also
previously denounced Pcecher'S
practices, and now he said the time
had come t. act. A letter was
sent by lilton to Beecher and car
