Visitation of Wolves,

To the physical suferings inflicted
upon the populations of Silesia, Posen
and Russian Poland, by the extraordi-
nary severity of the premature winter.
throughout northern and eastern Europe,
have been added the horrors resulting
from an almost unprecedented visitation
of wolves. These fierce animals, issuing
in powerful packs from the forests in
which, unless hard pressed by hunger,
they are accustomed to conceal them
selves, have committed terrible devasta-
tions in Polish villages on either side the
Russo German frontier. They have
already invaded several villages In the
Kolo district, and attacked peasants on
the high road upon several occasions.
Between Lenschutz and Krasnevicz
travellers were attacked a fortnight ago
by wolves with such ferocity and resolu-
ton that they barely escaped with their
lives; and, about the same time, young
girl of Kladava, returning from her
mothers funeral, was torn to pieces and
devoured by foraging party of these
savage brutes. The Inhabitants of the
frontier territories above alluded to are
SO panic stricken by the unusual audacity
of the wolves, that they cannot be in
duced to leave their houses, save in
broad daylight and provided with fire.
arms, which latter are scarce articles
among the Polish peasantry in the gov
eminent of the Vistula.

Store PiIfcrinq.

A young man who wished to be con-
sidered honest coveted some eggs which
he saw exposed for sale in store. The
merchant seemed SO very busy behind
his counter, with his face turned away,
that he thought he was not particularly
noticed. The pilferer, walking to and
fro in the store with his two hands in the
two large pockets of his overcoat, passed
near a lot of eggs and slipped two or
three into his pocket, and continued walk
ing, slipped some into the other pocket,
and SO continued till both pockets were
supplied with eggs, and then moved
toward the door to take his departure.
But, quite unexpected to him, the mer-
chant had noticed the game, and leaped
over the counter and with his two hands
struck each pocket with force that
smashed the eggs, to the great surprise
and shame of the sneak thief, and to the
amusement of the owner of the eggs, in
having subjected the thief to summary
punishment.

Drunken Rulers

The French traveller, Comte de Semelle.
who had lately returned to Paris from
his voyage of exploration ON the Niger,
tells how he offered the ruler of Lokodga
a present of certain cotton goods. The
chieftain was indignant, and screamed
out, 81 am great sultan; [ am not a
dog. [ will not take your miserable
gifts; give me something worthy of q
prince. I must have brandy and rum !"
The count was afraid that his life was in
danger, and he caused his interpreter to
explain to the terrible potentate that he
was not an Englishman, but French
man, and added with emphasis that men
OF his great nation had never before been
received with such rudeness, that he had
no dread of fire nor poison, and used a
number of other extravaganza boasts.
This manner quoted the sultan little,
whereupon the count presented him with
bottle of gin. The great sultan
emptied it at one draught, and immedi-
ately fell into a sort of delirium. Ac-
cording to Semelle's account, the people
have "a sort of parliament" as the
count names it, which, under the present
sultan, however, has sunk from talking
apparatus into drinking apparatus.
When the parliament assemblies its chief
and the members drink together from
morning till night.

A Useful Device.

An ingenious mechanic of this city has
invented an article of furniture which is
destined to come into general use in fam
lies where there are manageable young
ladies. It is called "Self-Acting by
manic Chair and Sofa" and when ready
for use resembles an ordinary armchair,
except that the arms are somewhat long
er than is customary, and that under
meath the center of the chair is wicker
work frame which incloses some power
full and complicated machinery. On
nights when the old man is at home the
flower of the family and her young man
take their seats in the usual manner, the
girl keeping one hand On a concealed
spring in the upholstery, while the other
gently toys with the coat-collar of the
candidate for her affections. As
soon as the paternal footstep is heard in
the hall, a slight pressure on the con-
cealed knob sets the machinery in motion
and the chair is instantaneously convert
ed into a six-foot sofa, with one of the
young couple at each end gazing de-
murely at each other. With one of these
chairs in the front parlor no young man
need fear an untimely discovery of his
affections Y Tribune

Incidents of the Tay Disaster.

The haphazard of life and death was
illustrated in many ways by the Tay
bridge calamity. One lady, who travel
ed with her maid, had ordered cab for
the morning train, which reached it's
destination in safety, but the cabman
oversight and they were obliged to take
the next train-the one which was buried
in the quicksand at the bottom of the
river. Another instance of train missing
turned out more happily. A gentleman
was determined to go to Dundee, not
withstanding his wife's entreaties, and
that prudent lady took pains to have the
cabman behind time, SO that her hus-
band lost the Inflated train. He was
angry at the time, but is reconciled to
the situation now, and entertains a
favorable opinion of his wife's weather.
wisdom. Another young man lost his
life through the business shrewdness of
the girl to whom he was engaged. He
was visiting at her house in Edinburgh,
and was anxious to remain until Mon
cay, but she persuaded him to return
rather than incur the displeasure of his
employers by breaking faith with them.

Fatal Etiquette.

Etiquette killed king of Spain, and
after the following fashion: "Philip
LII. was gravely sitting by the fireside
the fremaker of the court had kindled so
great quantity of wood that the royal
monarch was nearly sufocated with heat,
and his grandeur would not suffer him
to rise from the chair; the domestics
could not presume to enter the apart
ment, becauseitwasa gainstthe etiquette.
At length the Marquis de Potat appear
ed, and the king ordered him to damp
the fire, but he excused himself, alleg-
ing that he was forbidden by the
etiquette to perform such a function,
for which the Duke d'Ussada ought
to be called upon, as it was his business.
The duke had gone out; the fire burned
fercer, and the king endured it rather
than derogate from his dignity. But his
blood was heated to such an degree that
an erysipelas of the head appeared next
day, which, succeeded by violent
fever, carried him off in 1921, in the
oath year of his reign"

How Tramps Travel,

A tramp in relating his experience to a
reporter of the Philadelphia Press, said ::
"I'l tell you what I done once. There's
an express train leaves Detroit for Chi
cago at about IL o'clock at night. It
stops at Wayne Junction, Ann Arbor
and Jackson. Between Jackson and
Chicago, [ think, 1t only stops twice.
When the train pulled out of the Detroit
depot, one March night, in 1877, I
bounced the front of the express car.
The door of the express cars on those
big through trains, you know, are always
kept locked and barred. The messengers
carry big sums of money, and are afraid
of being robbed. One time some men
did get on the train and sawed their way
through the front door of the car, but
the express messenger was up to snuff
and shot one Of the gang. The other
two jumped from the train and escaped.
Well, as | was saying, [ got on the plat
form and rode through to Ann Arbor all
right. My racket was to get off the
train when we stopped, and keep on the
side Of the cars from the station until
they started up. At Ann Arbor the
brakeman must have seen me get on, for
when we had pulled out about two miles
the train stopped and was put off. The
moment they started jumped on again.
They saw me, and by the time the train
had stopped the second time the con-
ductor and brakemen were tearing mad.
"f you get in here again, the con-
ductor said, I'll break every bone in
your body
81 got on, though, all the same, but
this time on the cow-catcher Of the en-
CINE. As luck would have it, they didn't
see me when I got on. At Jackson I
went back to the express car again and
rode clear through to the grand crossing
at Chicago without being bothered. It's
terrible wearing on q fellows nerves,
though that kind of business.
Engineers and fremen never give a
fellow away. They're the best set of
men all the way through I ever met.
They always seem to like it when they
see a tramp giving the conductor and
brakemen trouble. Many's the time I've
rode on engines when the fireman and
engineer both knew it and wouldn't give
1t away.
"Another big ride made in one night
was from Toledo, O., to Cincinnati. I
left Toledo at about 1890 on the night
express of the Cincinnati, Hamilton and
Dayton railroad. 1t was SO dark you
could not see your hand before you and
it was raining like fury. When the train
pulled out [ stood on the platform of the
second car from the rear and just in
front of the Pullman. The conductor
passed through and said tickets. I
told him [ was just going to ride out to
the Airline junction, three miles from
the city. He said, All right be sure
