1t Looks Suspicious.

1t seems suspicious for dramatic
critic at play to laugh until his vest
buttons rattle off like peas from a pod,
be affected to tears until he has to bor-
row an extra handkerchief to absorb the
moisture, applaud till he seems to lead
an "encore," and then to write criti-
cism next morning condemning the play
as execrable and the actors as worse.
1t seems suspicious for young man
to call on the same girl every other even
ing and on another girl every Other
evening. 1t seems as if 'twould be
"s'mother evening" with him before a
great while.
1t seems suspicious for grocer to put
up sign "None but diary butter sold
here" when there are dozen kegs of
something or other with the labels
scraped off just unloading at his store
door.
1t seems suspicious for woman whom
you have known since she was girl as
decidedly fre1kled specimen, to APP
pear on the streets without freckle in
sight.
1t seems suspicious for restaurant
keeper to carefully avoid dining at ais
own place of business, just for the sake
of walking two miles to dine with his
family.
1t seems suspicious for a clerk who
gets Sc week salary to appear in new
pair of mauve pantaloons and suit to
match at least four times year.
1t seems suspicious for man to bring
down cotton umbrella in the morning
and carry home a silk one at night. 1t
also looks like a good trade.-NeD

-Four young men, clerks and students,
while on summer vacation tramp
through Northern New England, en-
gagged for a guide to certain romantic
forest waterfall a boy named Forrest
Graves. Forrest was a fine, athletic
fellow, who could outwalk and outclmb
any amateur in the mountains, and his
moral courage was quite equal to his
physical health and strength.
After he had guided the young men to
the waterfall, and they had satisfied
themselves with sightseeing, they in
vited him to lunch with them.
"Thank you, I have my own lunch;"
and the boy went away by himself.
Later, when full justice had been done
to their repast, and flask of brandy
had furnished each of the young men
with stimulating draught, Graves was
called.
You must drink with us, if you will
not eat with us" now said the owner of
the flask, and the most reckless of the
party.
"No, sir, thank you," was the boys
courteous response.
But shall insist upon it."
"You can do as you please, and 1
shall do as 1 please"
The young man sprang to his feet,
and with bound stood beside the boy,
too much absorbed in his own purpose
to heed the quivering lips and flashing
eyes of another.
"Now you are bound to try my
brandy. 1 always rule"
"You can't rule me-"
These words were scarcely uttered
when the flask was seized and hurled
into the stream, where the clinking of
glass betrayed its utter destruction.
Then a clear, defiant tone rang out:
"I did it in self-defense. You had no
Sht to tempt me. Ny father was once
rich and honorable man, but he died
q miserable drunkard, and my mother
came here to live to keep me away from
liquor till 1 should be old enough to
take care of myself. I have promised
her hundred times 1 wouldn't taste it,
and I'd die before I'd break my promise" "
"Bravely said. Forgive me, and let
us shake hands. Ny mother would he
a happy woman if I was as brave as
you. wouldn't tempt you to do wrong.
L shall never forget you, nor the lesson
you have taught me-"
The most reckless was the most gen.
erous, and seeing his error apologized
frankly.
How many boys need to be kept from
strong drink; and, alas, how many men
and women Who dares tempt them ?
Let it not be you and ]. I.-Yo,ah'S Com
pdniOn.

Singular Marks on woman,s Face.

Mrs MARCEL, of st. Jean Baptiste, is
reported to have her face marked with
mysterious figures and letters. A re-
porter visited her and gives the follow
ing account of the interview: One week
from last Thursday, it is claimed, the
first appearance was noticed on the left
cheek of the face and since that time it
has appeared and disappeared continu-
ously, always in the same place. Tho
letters and figures the first few days
were of brown color, but later they
have become of blush hue. The fol-
lowing figures and letters, as taken down
on paper by party present and shown
to the reporter, are said to have appear
ed on Monday afternoon, viz: /, @, A,
E, d, A, /, J, A, E, O, 8, X and F. Mrs.
MARCEL is of prepossessing appearance,
rather below the medium height and not
averse to the visitors who have called
upon her lately to become eye-witnesses
of the remarkable occurrence. She
seems to be entirely unconcerned her
self as to the appearance or disappear
ance of the phenomena on her face and
conversed with the reporter and A. Cob
lentz, of Morris, who was present at the
time, quite freely on the subject, stat
ing that before she went to bed on the
previous evening she looked into the
mirror and the figures 1, and could
be distinctly seen. At the request of
the reporter and the evening drawing
to a close, she drew her chair
to the window and exposing her face to
the light in short time both visitors
were astonished at the result, for, the
reporter adds: eve must confess that
previous to this our credulity did not
make us easy of belief, but there on the
left cheek on Mrs. Marcil's face, al
though not so colored as we have been
led to believe, the letter Z was stamped,
plainly to be seen. The letter resem-
bled to us more the appearance in col
oring of smart slap having been given
on the face. This disappeared, to bo
replaced in a short time by the figure 4,
and almost Immediately by the letter

Artemus Ward,s FRANKS.

The May ,Scribner has an anecdotal
paper on "Artemus Ward; his home
and family" with a drawing of the
homestead, a portrait of his mother
and new drawing of Ward as iec-
turer, based on the obsolete sketch in
the old "London Illustrated Times, and
which is said to be the only satisfactory
portrait of the humorist. Tho follow
ing is vouched for by the writer as
new:
"Among his youthful diversions was
the writing of letters to prominent per-
sons in all parts of the country whose
names he happened to see in print
entire strangers to him. These usually
referred to some prospective business
arrangement. Thus he would write to
some gentleman in New York: Dear
Sir-Tm sorry to say I shan't be able
to get that harness done on the day
promised;' or, will not be able to
etc. In this mystifcation of unsus-
pecting people he was not unlike the
German Owlglass, who, while always
playing the fool, never lacked fools
upon whom he might try experiments.
Nothing seemed to please him more
than to get the better of his brother
Cyrus. One very cold night in the
winter, when he had come home at a
late hour from an entertainment, in
stead of going quietly to his room, for
which his mother had provided by
leaving the doors unfastened, he sta
toned himself in the street and called
to his brother as if in deep distress
about something. Cyrus was slow to
wake and appear. Charles continued
calling, and with more agony, 'Oyl Cyl
Ho! CyP When Cyrus at last came to
the window he solemnly asked: DO
you really think, Cyrus, that it is wrong
to keep slaves p"

Her Terrible Adventure,

There were party of four couple
coming over on the Sarcelito boat, last
Sunday, and the prettiest girl of the
gushers looked up at Mount Tamalpais
and said
"Oh, that horrid, horrid mountain.
I had the most frightful adventure up
there last summer you ever heard of |
It's a wonder my hair didn't turn
white"
"What on earth was it?" chorused
the rest.
"Well, you see, L was up there with
a private picnic party, and I wandered
off by myself about a mile, picking
flowers. After awhile L sat down to
rest in lonely canon, and before long
1 heard a queer rustling sound in some
bushes right behind me. L knew at
once, somehow, that it was a grizzly"
"Great Scott and you all alonel" I"
shuddered her escort.
"Not soul within a mile of me.
was lust paralyzed with terror. didn't
dare to stir, but III a minute heard the
beast coming toward me through the
thicket."
"Oh, if I'd only been there" said a
pimply-faced young man, breathing
very hard.
"I knew it was no use to try and run,
and L had read somewhere that bears
never touch dead people. So 1 just
shut my eyes and held my breath"
"Gracious
"Pretty soon the great brute walked
up close and began shifting me all over.
Oh, it was Just terrible "
"Should have thought you would
have tainted"
"Oh, didn't dare to-" said the
heroine.
"Just then suppose the party rushed
up and rescued your" said the appalled,
audience.
"No, they didn't. Pretty soon 1 felt
the great beast pulling at the flowers in
my hat, so 1 just got up and shooed the
horrid thing away"
"What The grizzly?"
"Oh, it wasn't grizzly. 1t was a
nasty old COW. But just suppose it had
been a grizzly"
But the audience refused to "Hup-
pose" and the party looked like a
Quaker funeral until the boat struck
the wharf - Virginia (NeD.l Chroniole.
