great many tricks of stage costume
spring from personal defects. In whatever
cut of waist Modjeska appears, there is al
WAYS bunch of flowers or bow placed at
the left of her open cOrsage. When this de-
vice is not resorted to. little strap of silk
will be trailed across diagonally. or a little
fan of lace will suddenly spring from the left
corner in order to hide a scar on the breast
that looks as if it might be the result of a
wound from a poniard, a "souvenir" Of a
romance.
Poor Lucille Western was afflicted by a
birthmark She WIS regular female Esau.
About her waist there was thick growth of
silky brown hair, which ran up to point in
front. Where it cone above the tops of her
dresses it was carefully shaved, but the skin
always remained blue. So Lucille wore a
huge cross dangling just over that portion of
her antamony. Parepa Rosa had a deep
vaccination scar far down on her robust arm,
and when her sleeves we're very short knot
of ribbon or a trail of flowers used to cover
it. Before she grew so extremely stout she
wore golden band above the elbow to hide
it. but when her armlet had to be as big as a
waistcoat she abandoned the oddity. One
night speaking of this scar to an American
girl. who sat in her dressing room, the
Yankee girl offered Parepa an immediate and
effectual concealment of the offending spot.
She took one of the candles off the toilet ia
Bile, and holding it above the arm, let one
drop of the melted wax fall upon the place
and there was no further need of concealing
devices. A dash of flesh tinted powder COM
pleted the cure, and Parepas makeup box
forever after contained bit of wax candle.

These curious crafts are built of logs and

together, with plank thrust down between
them for keel or rudder. and broad three
cornered lateen for sail. made from fibrls,
affixed to a rude mast. Two men act as nav
igators. q bowsman and steersmsn. These
boats are mostly used for fishing, and may be
seen manv miles from shore upon the ocean.
They have been in service for centuries with
out the slightest change in their construction,
and are likely to be for hundreds of years to
come, as the Brazilians are not only salts
fed, but really proud of them, ignoring all
recent inventions. The catamaran flies like

of the sea cannot outstrip 1t. The proud

From the Atlanta ga. Constitution, Oct %
ADOg which Died Of Grief.

Dr. Martin, a gentleman living on Decatur
street, tells the Constitution remarkable
story about bulldog who actually died Of
broken heart. You remember" said the
pleasant Doctor "that about two months ago
nv father-in-law, Mr. w. II. Harvill, who
had reached a green old age, died. You may
or NAV not know that he owned at the time
of his death a very fine bull-dog-a huge, fat.
sleek fellow, who went by the name Of Ponto.
For months and months before his death this
dog wa. his constant companion. There
was something almost human in the devotion
of the dog 10 his master. and, as natural
consequence, the master was particularly fond
of his dog The daily movements of the old
gentleman. for long time before his last
sickness, were as regular as clock, and
Ponto followed him as surely as his very
shadow They were simply inseparable.
When the old man died Ponto took his place
BY the coffin and did not bulge until it was
taken from the room. Then he got up and
followed it closely to the hearse, and slowly
followed the hearse to the grave. Ponto
came back to the house a changed dog
Every night he Law upon his rug in the porch
and moaned most piteously all night long. |
have never heard any expression of human
sorrow that was half so plaintive and touch
ing as the moaning of that dog, as, night
after night, he writhed upon that rug. Every
day found him making the rounds just as
he used to do before the old man died.
He would walk slowly up the street, and
after while pass down the other side, on
his way to the plantation. He would come
back to the store, and after lying under that
chair few mt ments would get up, look into
my face in the most pleading manner, and
then he would 90 up to the house, and after
taking his place by the sofa, in the hall. sud-
denly spring up and walk through my father
in-law's bedroom. He was looking for his
dead master. The family let him have his
own way, and did all in my power to con-
sole him. | tempted him with the choicest
meat but he refused to eat. l offered him
the warmed milk, and he would not drink
He went about with his head down, the very
picture of sorrow. He dwindled away al
most to skeleton, staggering around daily
to the places visited by his master in life
and at night giving vent to his distressful
moaning. But this could not last forever, so
one dav about five weeks after the old man
died. Ponto came dragging his lank and
weak body down the street-that same street
which he had travelled so many bright morn
ings with his master. When he got to the
fence there he stopped, and sank upon the
ground. ran to him, and, lifting him in
NV arms, carried him into the yard. l laid
him gently on the ground-I wish now ! had
taken him into the house and placed him in
the old mans room, for, land the kind doctor
turned his head. there was a tremor in his
tone for he was dead "

During the voyage of the Livadia to
Brest, an accident of startling character
occurred. A man engaged as stoker
was asked to hold an electric lamp that
was being swung for lighting the stoke
hole. He incautiously touched the wire
with one Of his hands, and with the other
completed the current by grasping the
brass rod surrounding the lamp. The
force of the current struck him dead. All
efforts to revive him were unavailing. and
the disintegration of the tissues of the
body was found next day to be so grea,
that it was necessary to bury him at sea.

Varnish on the Church Pews.

There was the queerest scene at one of the
churches last Sunday. 1t seems that during
the vacation the seats had been newly var
nished. and somehow the vanished was not
right. as it was terribly sticky. You know
when you pull anything off of sticky varnish
that it cracks Well. the audience had all
got seated. when the minister got up to give
out the hymn, and as the basement of his
trousers let loose of the varnish of his chair
there was a noise like killing hy on the
wall with palm leaf fan. The minister look
ed around at the chair to see if he was all
present. and that no guilty mans pants had
escaped. and read the hymn. The choir rose
with sound of revelry, and after the tenor
had swallowed lozenge and the bass had
coughed up piece of frog and the alto had
hemmed and the soprano had shook out her
polonaise to see ii the varrish showed on the
South side, the audience began to rise. One
or two deacons got up first, with sounds like
picket firing in the distance on the eve of bat
tie. and then few more got up, and the
rafting of the unyielding varnish sounded as
though the fight was becoming more ami
mated. and then the whole audience got on
its feet at once with a sound of rafting mus

sat down gingerly, the services we're short.
