BEAUTY AT THE BATH.
An Interesting Incident that Be-
fell One OF PhiIadelphia's
Bellies.
Philadelnhia Item.


A funny incident befell one of Phil
adelphia's bellies last week, which
happened in this wise: In a certain
fashionable residence, upon a fashion
able street, the bathroom adjoins an
apartment which is used as a family
sitting>room. The charming Miss
H, having concluded her ablutions,
rose from the bath-tub as fresh and
beautiful as Venus from the waves of
the sea. Into the sitting-room she
huttered for an article of toilet she
had left hanging in the closet, with
but one scant garment covering up the
shapely form, the dainty feet also
guiltless of shoe OF stocking. What
was her surprise and horror as she
stood within that closet to hear the
voice of a servant ushering live man
through the very door OF the sitting
room. Here was a dilemma and no
mistake. The young lady hastily
closed the closet door, and peering
through, discovered, to her great bor-
ror, that it was young man who had
come to tune the piano, and that the
servant had gone and the gentleman,
sole possessOr Of the room, had opened
the instrument and settled down to
business. To add to her greater dis
comfort, a window in the closet stood
wide open, through which the after
noon breeze came iii crisp and chilly
gusts. All unconscious and alone, the
young man worked steadily on,
humping the keys and turning the
wires, while the lady peeped and
listened in an agony of suspense and
intense discomfort. A long mortal
hour passed by, and the piano worked
away, when, as good luck must have
directed, the young lady's mamma en-
tered the room, and, going to the
closet, "opened the door," The man
at the piano was startled by low cry
of establishment, and the next moment
was mysteriously invited TO step into
the next room for moment. As 10
reasonable excuse was offered him, he
returned to:his work, wondering what
kind of skeleton that closet con-
tanned, which had evidently caused
the remarkable and seemingly I'M
calIed-for proceeding on the part of
the lady of the house. When he reads
this he will be able to solve the mys-
terry.

A Model Confession.

Several years ago, in a Western
town, a young lawyer, a member OF
large church, got drunk. The breth-
rem said he must confess, he demurred.
He knew the members to be good peO-
pie, but they had their little faults,
such as driving sharp bargains, screw
ing the laborer down to low wages, loan
ing money at illegal rates, misrepresen-
ting articles they had for sale, etc. But
they were good people, and pressed
the lawyer to come before the church
meeting and own up his sin of taking
a glass too much, for they were tenn
perance people and abhorred intem-
perance. The sinner finally went to
the confession, found large gather
ing of brethren and sisters, whose
bowed heads rose and whose eyes glist-
ened with pure delight as the lawyer
began his confession. 81 confess, he
said, THAT l never took 10 per cent. for
money!" On that confession down
went a brothers head with a groan.
IL never turned poor man from my
door who needed food and shelter"
Down went another head. IL confess
| never sold skim-milk cheese for a
new one.,, WhereupOn a woman
shrieked for mercy. II confess that
/ have not been Pharisaical and self
righteous, and have not sought to IN
lure ur prosecute those who have not
happened to agree with me" when
down dropped numerous heads. 81
confess that never played the hypo>
critic. and do not lie, and that have
not used:religion as a cloak )" when
down went several other heads, and
among them the heads of the very
ones who were so anxious that he
should confess. BUT concluded the
sinner, II have been drunk, and am
very sorry for it. Whereupon the
mo5iing quietly dispersed.

She Got Him.


above all gifted with an adorable
candor, presented herself before
certain Prussian lawyer. Monsieur,
I came to consult you upon a grave
affair, want to oblige a man I love
to marry me in spite OF himself how

The gentleman Of the bar had Of
course sufficiently elastic conscience.
He reflected a moment; then, being
sure that no third person overheard
him replied unhesitatingly: ''Made-
moiselle, according to our law you
already possess the means of forcing
a man to marry you. You must re-

was she within, than she flung herself
hastily IN a chair, saying that she had
mounted the stairs too rapidly, and
that emotion made her GREATNESS.
Her counsel endeavored to resassure
her, putting his arm around her to
keep her from falling and offering
every assistance.
So she said, " l am much better"

Exceedingly So"
Well, then, the fortunate mortal,

laugh. 81 love you, I have been

four witnesses are here below, ready

the way makes an excellent house

Wine from Oranges.

The constantly extending ravages
of the phylloxera have induced the
inhabitants of certain wine-growing
countries to consider from what fruit
might be obtained a product which,
by appearance, taste and bouquet,
would most resemble the juice of
the grape. Experiments have been
made and the fact established that
the liquid extracted from the orange
would constitute a resource on which
to fall back. The first trials made
showed that the oranges, when they
have attained their full development,
are unfit for the purpose proposed
and they must be selected, not when
they have become quite mature, and
superabundant in the sugary princi-
pie. but before they are fully ripe
and still possess an appreciable
amount OF citric and malic acids. At
present four different sorts of wines
have been obtained from that fruit.
One called Imperial, and dry wine,
are produced in January with the
fruit of the season; another, the
mandarin, is furnished by the orange
gathered in April. These three
sorts have color pleasing to the
eye, are perfectly translucent, have
an agreeable SAVIOR, with a slight
tinge of acidity, and an alcoholic
richness Of about Is per cent. AS
to the fourth, sparkling wine pre-
pared by special process, it pos
sesses little more than IL per cent. of
alcohol. However, the experiments
made hitherto are still too insufficient
and the methods of fabrication too
rudimentary for the article to be
placed upon the market.-GaIig-
saa'as's Messenger.

The Name of the Female Fox.

A Londoner recently told report

of those awkward contretemps which

was travelling in Somersetshire, and

became mutual, and the Londoner
opened the subject Of education.
Among other things, said he to the

question. The answer is Vixen "
The 14ondoner had no sooner said
this than he observed a cloud gather
over the lady's brow; the daughter
blushed, and the maid looked con-
fused, while the clergyman stared
hard at him. Ignorant that he had
given ntterance to any thing indec-
orous, or likely to cause this sudden
change, he began to feel very much
embarrassed, and was only aware of
the extent of his inquiry when his
clerical Uis-G-vis handed him a card,

She Wouldn't Melt.

A day or two ago when servant
opened the side door of house on
Sibley street in response to tramp's
knock, her face looked SO kind and
benevolent that the hungry man had
no doubt that good dinner awaited
him. He had, however, laid out a
certain programme, and he therefore
began:

anything to eat for two days, and 1
wanted to ask if you would spare me

from the caves

piled, as she looked out, I suppose
we might spare you one, if you are
really suffering, but of course you
won't take the largest and best"
He stepped down and selected an
icicle about two feet long, and in a
hesitating manner, inquired:
