talk interesting Nothing surprises peo-
pie of this kind more than to show them
You are ignorant of what may have be-

last uninteresting little chapter of their
small lives The trihing incidents of
their household comprise everything
which is worth knowing-to them; and
your ignorance of such incidents Is
looked upon as a personal affront and the
sign of almost criminal indifference. If
these worshipers of "Great T. have
any specialty-say they are artists, mu-

The Unfortunate Position of a Bride.
groom.

They had a terrible time at a wedding
up at .Peterluma the other day, and
which only goes to show the smallest
drawback will sometimes take the stiff
fening out of the swellest occasion.
1t seems that the ceremony was a very
grand affair, indeed. There were eight
bridesmaids, and the church was crowded
from pit to DOME as the dramatic critics
would say. But, when they got to the
proper place in the ceremony, and the
groom began feeling around for the
ring. he discovered that it wasn't on
hand. After the minister had scowled
at the miserable wretch for awhile the
latter detected that the magic circlet had
slipped through hole in his pocket and
worked down into his boot. He COM
municated the terrible TACT in a whisper
to the bride, who turned deadly pale
and was only kept from fainting by the
reflection that they would inevitably cut
the strings of her satin corset in case
she did.
Why don't you produce the ring?"
whispered the brides big brother,
hoarsely, and feeling for his pistol, under
the impression that the miserable man
was about to back ont.
Il can't. It's in my boot, " explained
the groom, under his breath, his very
hair meanwhile turning red with morti-
fication
Try and fish it out, somehow-hurry
up !" mumbled the preacher behind his
book
"Fl try" gasped the victim, who was
very stout; and he put one foot on the
chancel rail- pulled up hist trousers leg,
and began making spasmodic labs for
the ring with his forefnger The min
lister motioned to the organist to squeeze
out few notes to fill in the time, while
a rumor rapidly went through the con-
gregation to the effect that telegram
had Just arrived proving that the groom
had four wives living in the East al
ready.
IL can't reach it." groaned the
half married man, III agony. Z" 1t won't
come"
.'Sit down and take off your boot,
you fool - hissed the brides mother,
while the bride herself moaned piteous-
ly and wrung her hands.
There was nothing left so the suf-
! ferer sat down on the floor and began to
wrestle with his boot which was natu-
rally new and tight, while fresh rumor
/ got under way to the effect that the
groom was beastly tight and insisted on
! pairing his corns.
As the boot came finally of, its crushed
wearer endeavored, unsuccessfully, to
hide a trade dollar hole in the heel OF
his stocking noticing which the parson,
who was a humorous sort of sky-con-
tractor, said grimly
You seem to be getting married just
in time, my young friend"
And the ceremony proceeded with the
party of the first part standing on one
leg, trying to hide his well-ventilated
foot under the tail of his coat, and ap-
propriately muttering Darn lt! at
short intervals. Francisco Post.

zinc Dennrtment In Franco.

While Paris Is far ahead of cities IN
the United States in regard to some of
her municipal arrangements, IN others
she Is quite deficient. Her streets are
cleaned when necessary, as if by magic.
Let there be snowfall, and thousands
of men will be ont armed with shOvels,
&c, and in twinkling the thorough
fares are as free from the unwelcome
visitant as if it had never come
But the fire service is simply execra-
BILE. Hand pumps are used, and they
will not throw the water with sufficient
force to reach the upper stories of the
immense buildings there. Some steam
pumps are employed but they are never
ready and it takes so long before they
can be upon the scene of action as to be
often of really little service. When the
Magazin du Printemps burned it was
between two and three hours after the
fire broke out before the steam pumps
arrived, and then the stream could only
be sent into the third story.
1t would make the Parisians open their
eyes somewhat could they see the celer-
ity with which the firemen in our large
cities move. Everything Is SO perfectly
adjusted that almost before the echo of
the bell which calls them has died away,
the engines, hose carts and ladders are
in rapid motion, and unless the fire had
got under strong headway before discov-
cred it perishes almost in an instant.
The people on both sides of the water
could learn something from each other
in regard to living.

Frontier Criminals.

The different kinds of criminals in
New Mexico and Arizona are given dis
tinguishing names. "Rustlers are
thieves who steal cattle on the United
States side of the line, run them into
Mexico, sell them there, and then load
themselves with Mexican plunder for
the return trip. Cowboys are those
who earn an honest living by herding,
and behave well enough when at work.
although when in the towns for holl-
day they commit all manner of outrages
FORUM. Card jerkers I" are professional
gamblers who cheat those with whom
they play. "Dinglers are stage rob
bers. "Notchers are men who wantonly
take human life, apparently with the
sole object of gaining reputation as
desperadoes. They are the terror of the
border, and little is even done to bring
them to punishment except by sudden
resentment of mob. Silver City, how
ever, is an exception in this respect
among border towns, for it has a District
Attorney who prosecutes vigorously and
a Sheriff who does not let his prisoners
escape The trials are queer, the Jurors
often being unable to understand any
thing but Spanish, while the speaking
is done in English but that docs not
seem to hinder convictions, for sixteen
condemned murderers were in Jail under
death sentences only ten days ago.

Sentimental Pennle.

Oh how L detest your sentimental
people who pretend to be full of feeling,
who will cry over worm, and yet treat
real misfortune with neglect There are
your fine ladies that l have seen in a
dining-room, and when by accident an
earwig has come ont of a peach, after
having been half-killed in opening it..
one would exclaim: ooh poor thing
you have broken its back-do spare it
/ can't bear to see it suffer Oh, there,
my lord how you hurt it ; stop, let me
open the window, and put it out" And
then the husband drawls out =: My
wife is quite remarkable for her sensi-
bility l married her purely for that. y
And then the wife cries "Oh, now my
lord, you are too good to say that if /
had not had grain of feeling, should
have learnt it from you" And SO they
go ON praising each other and perhaps
the next morning, when she is getting
into her carriage, a poor half-starved
woman begs charity of her, and she
draws up the glass and tells the footman
another time not to let those disgusting
people stand at her door.-Lady Stan
