A famous matchmaker of Paris, in
fatuated for long time with the chimera
of the perpetual motion, became violent
ly insane from the overwhelming terror
which the storms Of the revolution ex-
cited. The arrangement OF his reason
was marked with singular trait. He
was persuaded that he had lost his head
on the scaffold, and that it was put in a
heap with those of many other victims;
but that the judges, by rather too
late retraction of their cruel decree, had
ordered the heads to be resumed, and
to be reioined to their respective bodies.
He, however, conceived that, by q
curious kind of q mistake, he had the
head of one of his companions placed on
his shoulders. He was admitted into
the Bicetro, where lie was continually
complaining of his misfortune, and
lamenting the fine teeth and wholesome
breath he had exchanged for those OF
very different qualities. In little
time the hopes of discovering the per
petual motion returned, and he was
rather encouraged than restrained in his
endeavors to effect his object. When
he conceived that he had accomplished
it, and was in an ecstacy of Joy, the sud-
den confcsion of failure removed his
inclination even to resume the subject.
He was still, however, possessed with
the idea that his head was not his own,
but from this notion he was diverted by
repartee made TO him when he hap
pened to be defending the possibility Of
the miracle of st. Denis, who, it is said,
was in the habit of walking with his
head between his hands, and in that
position continually kissing it.
"What fool you are to believe such
o utory," it was replied, with burst of
laughter. "How could ISt. Denis kiss
his hsad2 Was it with his heelsP"
This unanswerable and unexpected
retort struck and confourded the mad-
man SO much that IL prevented INN from
saying anything further on the subject.
He again took himself to business, and
entirely regained his intellect.

Another way in which the phonograph
will prove household boon is revealed
by an exchange "As often as a certain
six -year-olds papa, or anybody else
will tell an interesting story the young
ster's ears are wide open. to say nothing
of the condition of his mouth, and his
voice is hushed. He becomes bore by
often asking for the stereotyped nara
tive. His father has purchased pho
nograph, and has told it hair-raising
story, in which the father was the hero.
Now there is peace and quiet for that
papa. The boy sits by the hour turning
the crank of the phonograph, drinking
in every word OF its utterances, till the
wonderful machine itself gets hoarse
and asks permission to suck lemon or
to be given bronchial troche."

How a Girls Life was Wrecked.

Some time ago the eighteen-year-old
daughter Of a well-to-do farmer near
Cleveland idling over Cincinnati paper
became interested in the fascinating
mysteries of the personals" There
was spice of strangeness and romance
about them that excited her imagination.
One Of them in particular, which solicit
ted correspondence with some young
lady, appealed to her fancy. She hesi-
taie5. and then in adventurous mood
sa, d, ,Jwn and briefly answered it. A re-
ply9came promptly, dated from Chicago.
1t was fattering and respectful, and the
dhirography was very beautiful. A cor
respondence ensued, and the mutual
warmth of expression increased with
each succeeding letter. The vanity of
the simple country girl was tickled to
think that at last she had real city
bean, and when one day he appeared at
her home clad in the most fashionable
city apparel, her cup of triumph ran
over at the contrast of his appearance
with the homely, awkward country fell
lows upon whom hitherto her coquetries
had been bestowed. The old folks were
disposed to be dubious about this flash
young chap from the city, who talked
so plausibly, and 80 boldly sued for
their daughters hand, but finally gave
their consent to the marriage. Then
the united couple ioyously sped for the
city, carrying with them a generous
purse bestowed upon the young wife by
her father. The sequel is sad and short.
Two months later the wife sought her
fathers home q tired, careworn woman.
Her precious husband proved to be a
gambler. He speedily squandered all
his wife's money, and then she found
herself the victim OF cruel want, and
fortunate it was that good country
home was open to receive the discon.
solate waif. The girls husband, one
Wilson, was formerly a stock broker
with promising prospects, but gambling
ruined all, and his heartless ruse of the
newspaper personal was but the cum
ming venture of a desperate man to OBJ
tain the means of indulging his beset-
ting vice. Doubtless it will be repeated,
however, and some other silly girl done
for in a way like this Ohio farmers
daughter.
