The Two Dromios.

4 young apothecary, who does thriv-
ing trade in the fifth ward, Allegheny City,
Pa, concluded, after finding that he had
made from thirty to forty per cent. on his
sales during the past year, to pay visit to
the scenes Of his youth. He had not visited
the scenes, etc, which lay in and around
Lebanon. for the past eight years, and it
was with bouyant spirits that he took his
grip-sack, two days before Christmas, and
started for his old home. He arrived there
safe sand sound. His numerous friends
were Overjoyed to see him. A great many,
of both sexes, who were children when he
left theIe, had grown out of his knowledge,
and this is where the point of this story
will come in. Now, it so happens that the
druggist has twin brother at Lebanon, and
when they are together they are as hard to
tell apart as are Robson and Crane in the
Two Dromios. 1t also happened that
the day after the druggist arrived, 4 fire
mems fair was inaugurated, to which the
numerous young ladies and gentlemen of the
town flocked in crowds. To this fair the
resident twin hired himself in the afternoon.
while the visiting twin went out calling.
He had no sooner paid his quarter and
passed in, when he was accOsted on all
sides by fair maidens, and importuned to
buy of their wares He told them frankly
he had forgotten his pocket-book, but would
be back in the evening, and as he was gen
erous he would buy something from each
and every booth. After lettering awhile he
left. His diabolical scheme WAS working
nicely. At tea he casually asked his broth
er how he should like to visit the fair.
Nothing would suit him BETTER" the visi
tor said. Then the schemer spoke up bold
ly and told his brother to go down about 7,
and as he had an engagement he would be
down shortly and show him around. 1t
was bargain. The druggist went at the
appointed time, paid his quarter and passed
in. He had 10 sooner done so than he was
greeted with Here, now, you promised me
this afternoon to buy this nice work box for
your girl, ''Oh. I'm so glad you've come
| put that article away for you,' and sun
dry other pleasantries. The man of pills
tried to explain. But, no, he couldn't fool
them, he must live up to his promises. So,
like good fellow, he purchased everything
that was offered, and when he counted his
cash he found he was out between twelve
and fifteen dollars

A Strange -ale.

\ Jewish peddler, recently travelling on
foot through the Grodno District, Russia,
was attacked in a wood by footpad, who
robbed him of all the money he had about
him and then let him go. Proceeding on
his way, the plundered peddler met a
mounted gendarme, TO whom he related his
mishap, and who proceeded at once to search
for the robber, accompanied by the plumb
cred man. They soon came up with the
object OF their quest, upon whese person
the stolen money was found, as well as two
clasp-knives and pocket-whistle, of which
''unconsidered trifles'' the gendarme took
possession. Having bound the culprit's
hands behind HIM, and attached him to the
gendarme's saddle by a cord, they started
for the nearest village, the peddler on foot,
the policeman on horseback. Presently it
occurred TO the police officer that he might
as well ascertain what sort of tune could
be produced by the confscated whistle,
which he accordingly put to his lips and blew
with untimely vigor. Straightway there
appeared upon the scene horde of armed
brigands, who surrounded the party, and,
after freeing their comrade from his bonds,
attacked his captors. The gendarme put
spurs to his horse, broke through the circle
of his assailants, and got away with bull
let in his shoulder. But the unfortunate
peddler, unable to escape, fell a victim to
the brutality Of the bandits, who hacked
his body to pieces and left his mutilated re-
mains on the road. Preparations are being
made by the district authorities to surround
the wood in which this band of malcfactors
has fixed its headquarters.

Small birds chase each other about In
play; but perhaps the conduct of the
crane and the trumpeter is most extra
ordinary. The latter stands on one leg,
hops about in the most eccentric man
ner, and throws somersaults. The
Americans call it the mad bird, on ac-
count Of these singularities. Water
birds, such as ducks and geese, dive af-
ter each other, and clear the surface of
the water with outstretched neck and
Tapping wings, throwing abundant
spray around. Deer often engage in
sham battle, or trial OF strength, by
twisting their horns together and push
ing for the mastery. All animals pre-
tending violence in their play stop
short OF exercising it: the dog takes the
greatest precsution not TO Injure by his
bite; and the oursng-outang, in wrest-
ling with his keeper, pretends to throw
him, makes feints of biting him. Some
animals carry out in their play the
semblance of catching their prey
Young cats, for instance, leap after
every small and moving object, even to
the leaves strewed by the autumn wind.
They crouch and steal forward, ready
for the spring, the body quivering and
the tail vibrating with emotion; they
bound on the moving leaf and again
spring forward to another. Benger
saw young jaguars playing with round
substances, like kittens. Birds of the
magpie kind are the analogies of mon
keys, full of mischief, play and MINI
icry. There is story of a lane mag
pie that was seen busily employed in a
garden gathering pebbles, and with
much solcmnlty and studied air bury
ing them in hole made to receive a
post. After dropping each stone it
cried, "currack"" triumphantly, and
set of for another. On examining the
spot q poor toad was found in the hole,
which the magpie was stoning for its
amusement.

A Legend Of Pope Gregory.

Tradition asserts that there once existed
at Rome a bas s-relief representing Trajan
on horseback in all his glory, and in front
Of him woman sadly kneeling. Nothing
can be more probable, and if such was
really the case the suppliant female would
no doubt represent conquered province,
just as Dacia ia represented on one Of Ira
JAMS medals as woman on her knees.
However this may be, out of the tradition
sprang a story illustrative of Trajan's JUS
tice. On the point of starting on cam
paign, it is said, the Emperor was suddenly
stopped by poor widow, who flung her
self ON her knees before him and besought
him TO right her wrongs. He eXpostulated,
but finally yielded, and did her justice be-
fore he resumed his march. This was the
first half of the story's growth. The second
seems to have followed at a later period.
According to tho completed legend as Pope
Gregory the Great passed through the For
um of Traian one day, he bethought himself
of that Emperor's many merits, and espec-
tally Of his admirable conduct in righting
the widows wrongs. And a great sorro v
came over him at the thought that SO ex-
cellent pagan should be lost eternally.
Whereupon he prayed earnestly and con-
stantly for Trajan's salvation, until at last
voice from on high informed him that his
prayer was granted, but that in the future
he was to pray only for Christian souls. A
later addition Of the legend told how Greg
ory learned frsom an angel that, by way of
punishment for his indiscreet though sue
cessful intervention, he would have to suf-
fer from certain maladies for the rest of his
life. The question as to whether Gregory
was justified in his procedure greatly exer-
cised the minds Of many medieval casuists,
ono Of whom solved the problem, and es-
capped from the doctrinal difficulties which
| it presented, by the following ingenious
explanation: No one, he said, can be saved
unless he be baptised But baptism is pre-
clsely what Gregory obtained for Trajan.
At the Pope's prayer the Emperor's soul re-
turned to his body, Gregory baptised it,
''and the soul, again quitting its earthly
case, went straight up into heaven

USEFUL HISTs.-Sprinkle Persian

b0rax and insect powder have failed to
exterminate cockroaches, sprinkle the
floor with powdered white hellebore;
they will eat it, and are poisoned by it.

THE HOUSEHOLD.

How TO WASH GLAss.-Never use
soap to glass. Wash all wine glasses
and tum5lers in hot water and soda,
and in cold water. You should wash
ground glass globes or any ground glass
globes or any ground glass in lather
of soap and water and soda with q
brush, and rinse in cold water; and dry
them Immediately out Of the cold wa
ter; do not let them drain. Ground
glass is very apt to get black look
from exposure, and therefore all ground
glass, such as ice plates for instance,
that are not in daily use, should each
be wrapped up in soft paper, so that
it may keep in color. II ground glass
has become discolored, the following
directions will cure it: Wash the glass
In soap and water, and then pour a
small quantity Of spirits of salts into
saucer, dip sponge or rag into it, and
wash over the glass; then plunge itinto
cold water and then into hot water;
dry it.
