Hoaxing a Manager.

Mr.. Henry c. Jarrett tells the follow
ing story: One evening, while the party
were playing at the opera house in De-
troit, small boy approached him and,
holding out his hand, exhibiting fifteen
cents, said:
''Please. mister, would so much like
to see Cinderella but that's all the
money I've got.'
The boys manner touched Jarrett s
tender spot, and after asking him two
or three times if that was all the money
he had, and receiving each time pitt
full affirmative answer, he gave him a
quarter. The boys countenance
beamed with delight, and he did not
know how to express his gratitude.
Finally moving toward the street, he
said:
s'You don't know how thankful am,
sir. l am ever so much obliged to you,
sir; but now that YOU have been so gen
erous, guess I'll 90 to the other thea

Origin of Lynch Law,

AlDary Law JOurnal.
Judge Lynch and Lynch law have
been usually supposed of American orr
gin; but some doubt is thrown upon
this by the Pail Mall Gazette, which
says that the Virginian farmer named
Lynch who flogged thief with his own
hands ''has probably no claim to the
honor ascribed to him by doubtful
tradition There was Judge Lynch
who was sent to America in 16S7-S to
suppress piracy; but the real Lynch is
said to have been a certain Mayor of
Galway, at the close of the fifteenth
century, who became famous for chang
ing his son with his own hands, out of
an upper window, in execution of a
death sentence passed upon him for
robbery and murder" In this country
the Virginia Lynch has usually had the
credit of originating extra judicial pro-
ceedings, and the name which had been
given to them probably did not come
into general use until a time compare
lively modern.

New tinsel lace is shown in steel fol
new bonnets.
Mahogany and geranium pinks are
new colors in millinery.
Vandyke red is the latest color, q
shade darker than cardinal.
Indian heads cut in red jasper orna-
ment new lace pins and earrings.
Clear medium French blues are re.
vived as the latest rival of navy blue.
Only delicate trimming should be
used on the open-work Tuscan straw
bOnnets.
A silver cub bear lying on its back
for the mantel.
Turned down Byron collars are inn
ported extensively in open work and
Irish point embroidery.
After-dinner coffee sets in cream
china, with bands of blue and gold, are
decorated with gay little humming
birds.
The English walking hat promises to
be revived in rough and ready straw,
and fancy braids for spring and sum-
mer use.
Sets of jewelry are in forms of pansies
with petals enameled in natural colors
A tiny diamond is imbedded in the
center of the flowers.
New, bracelets "a roll of plain etruscan
gold, twine the arm without clasping it,
and one end is finished with the head of
Cleopatra carved on black agate, with
square headdress of diamonds, and the
other with the hattened head of an
Egyptian serpent, set with diamond and
rubies.
Handsome damask towels with fancy
borders of bright colors are used for
aprons. One end is doubled over the
other about third of the length, thus
allowing one border to show above the
other. They are either gored into a
belt or fastened on with ribbon, which
is passed loosely around the waist and
fastened with bows where it joins on
the towels at the upper corners.
Letters from Paris state that young
girls and very young married ladies are
beginning to wear, for evening dresses,
corsages q la Tie,ge, that is, round
waists, confined by sash tied behind
not in the middle, but on one side.
Sometimes these waists are pleated or
gathered; at others they are trimmed
in the front and back with pleated lace,
the pleats of which, gathered closely
under the belt, spred out in fan shape
to the top of the cOrsage. The belt
buckle, of fine pearls, is very RECHERCHE;
it surmounts the bow, with long flat
ends and long loops falling on the skirt
that accompanies this kind of waist.

The production of sea-moss cards has
become quite an industry among the
ladies at Martha's Vineyard. They are
made by dipping up the small sea mos
ses that come in with the tide with Il
small hand net. The MOSES of different
kinds and various colors are then placed
or floated in the water, on plain white
Bristol-board cards, and are carefully
arranged, so that the dieffrent iibres of
the moss do not cross each other. The
moss, which is of a glutinous nature, is
completely absorbed by the air, leaving
beautiful representation of the moss
on the card. One lady there sold S17
worth of them, which she had been q
few weeks in preparing. The colors
are variegated, and appear to be firmly
fixed on the card. The best and highest
colored MOSES are obtained in the
month of March.

ingenious.

The Hindoo thief's manner of seal
ing walls is very ingenious. 1t is by
means of huge lizard which he car
ries with him in his noctural rambles
The process is as follows The lizard,
which is perhaps yard in length, with
great claws and fiattened feet and sue
ton powers like those of a fly, is made
fast to the dacoi by a tough cord tied
to its tail. When the doc0H is pur-
sued and comes in his hasty flight to a
wall, he quickly throws his lizard over
it, holding fast to the other end of the
cord. By means of its suction powers
the lizard fastens himself to the wall on
the opposite side, and the thief draws
himself to the top and jumps lightly
down. By choking the lizard it is made
to release its hold

Prof. Charles Eliot Norton, president
of the Archaeological institute OF, Ameri-
ca. denies report that the work of that
institute in Crete has been ''nipped in

Crete, q competent assistant was sent
out to aid him in his Investigations.

1t is asserted that within eighteen
months two and a half miles of the pro-
posed channel tunnel between England
and France will have been excavated,
and that the work will be completed in
about four years. Still another grand
scheme, however, for crossing the chan.
mel is contemplated, namely, a line of
steel tubes, sixteen feet in diameter,
ballasted SO as to make it weigh one
and :, quarter tons to the foot less than
the water displaced, and held at a depth

as not to impede navigation, by chains

Mrs. Mary Drover Cowdry, who re-
Gently died at Passaic, N. j., was Il
daughter of the Seventh New York reg
iment until she married in 1864. Her
father, the regimental adjutant, left her
an orphan of years in 1850, and the
command showed its respect for his
memory by assuming the support of his
child. Her formal adoption when 8
years old was touching to all concerned,
and the regiment gave her up at her
marriage with present of $4,000.

Several habitual players against a
Louisville faro bank found out that the
dealing was tricky, and resolved to get
their money back. Just as the cards
had been placed in the box player
handed in a $50 bill for chips. A sec
ond player stepped to the dealers side
and said: ''That looks like counter
felt" While the note was being critic
ally examined, third player changed
the pack of cards for one that had been
stocked" Then play was resumed.
The conspirators, knowing beforehand
how the cards would run, quickly won
more than they had lost, and might
have broken the bank, if their manifest
eagerness had not aroused the Dealers
suspicion. He examined the pack, and
denounced the fraud, but paid the
losses.

A Paris dressmaker and ladies outfit
ter has brought an action against a
belle petite well known on the turf of
gallantry. The dressmaker claims the
sum of 67,5O0 francs for merchandise
furnished to the belle petite during the
past six months. The droll point of the
adventure is that, in order to prove that
she intended to pay the bill, the belle
petite mentions the fact that she had al
ready paid certain sum on account of
the 67, 800 francs. The sum amounted
to SO francs.
