Papa FOrge,s Himself.

You have probably heard-most of
you, at least of the wealthy old mcr-
chant who was waited upon by IL com
mittee soliciting subscriptions of money
for certain benevolent object. He con-
s5ered the matter, and deeming the OBJ
ject % be worthy, he subscribed fifty
dollars. The solicitor was disappointed
He had expected more, and plainly said
as much, adding:
why, sir, your son gave us one hun
dred dollars, as you can see
"Ah,' replied the old gentleman, with
shrug of the shoulders, ''the rascal can
afford it. He's got rich father
Well-it is of the same father and son
that we have another story to tell-a cir
cumstance of an earlier time:
The boy bad joined club, and had
also taken membership III one or two
social organizations, that met for mutual
benefit. One evening, rs the youth was
preparing to go out, his father asked him
where he was going.
"This evening, to the Lodge, he re-
piled Il hold an important office.
Look you, my boy-I don't know
about this. l don't half like it.
The boy looked up in surprise.
Father, have you yet known me to
come home from one of my meetings
made worse by the association? When
you see that, let me know"
"Aye-but I'm abed when YOU get
home--how do know"
This implied distrust, though not
meant, nettled the son, and he quickly
returned:
"You go to bed early. If you wish
ocular demonstration, sit mp for me. Ill
try to meet you half way"
Meet me half way You rascal. Mercy
what would my father have done if had
dared to suggest such thing to him?
Let me tell you, he never allowed mo to
be out after dark, unless he knew where
I was going, and with whom.
"What-never?
"No-never.
"Well-you must have had queer
case for II father
"i-what?-I d have you to know. you
young dog! that | had a better father
than you ever and-a-"
He caught the twinkle in his sons Eye
saw the lurking smile. and the echo of
the words still lingering in the air
Get ont of this! believe I'm losing
myself. Are you going?"
The boy turned and lett the room; but
he fingered outside the half-open door
long enough to hear his father fervently
murmur:
God bless the boy. He is my stay
and my support. o. fear not for him.
l think he is true and loyal | will trust
him.
And the boy went away, murmuring
to himself:
Aye, my father, when | forget my
duty to thee, in honor, i'll soberness, and
i'll truth. may my right hand wither. and
my tongue cleave to the roof of my
mouth"
And he went his way, safe and sure
his feet upon IL rock.

An Episode in the Algerian War.

The desperate defense of Sfax by the
Arabs, who tired from the houses, and
preferred death to yielding" recalls the
saying % General Lamoriciere during
the Algerian war--that the hardest part
of an Arab siege always came after the
town was taken. For the irregular Skin
mishing in which Arabs delight, the flat
roofs and small windows of their houses
give formidable facilities. One of the
most striking episodes Of this kind oc-
Cured at the French capture of Con-
stantine, the strongest of the Algerian
fortresses, in 1887. The place being al
most completely surrounded by chasm
800 feet deep, the only accessible gate
was blown up with petard, and the for
lorn hope rushed in. So terrible, how
ever, was the fire from the houses that
the stormers, having lost more than half
of their officers and nearly one-third of
their entire number, began to fall into
confusion. In this strait Colonel st.
Armand afterwards the famous Crimean
MarshalD remembered body of dare
devils" of various nations but chiefly
English, who were among the reserves.
An excellent mimic, he uttered with all
his might an admirable imitation Of the
British hurrah. Instantly the whole
gang Of desperadoes came rushing on
echoing the cry, and pouring through
the gate like torrent, while the Arabs,
seized with one Of those strange panics
70 which they are always liable, fled pell-
nell from their strong position. and the
town was taken.

A New Freak.

Do You know the latest fashion? No
Well. it is for Young woman to have
photograph taken of her hand and to
present it as souvenir to her intimate
friends. The great question, What
shall do with my hands?" seems at last
to have been answered by fashion, which
SAYS; Have them photographed The
trial of properly disposing of the hands
has always been great with those who
visit the photographer. To hold fan is
stilted; to rest them upon the lap is
awkward, for the loveliest hands in the
world look large in photographs; and to
fold them gives Il white patch IN the pie
ture not ut all artistic. a pretty and
fashionable blonde, dressed i'll black vel
vet suit, few days ago went to photo
grapher to have n panel plcture-the
popular style now--taken for the full
length of her figure when standing.
She wore a Spanish lace jabot from neck
to toe, and this gave fullness and
grace to her slender form. Now,
what shall | do with my hands?' she
said.
They are perfect in shape. the fingers
tapering to the waxen tips, where the del
icate pink nails demonstrates the height
to which the manicure's art has attained.
The artist saw at IA glance that the hands
were we'll worth taking in the picture,
and he made various suggestions.
NO. said the blonde, entwining her
fingers beneath the lace iabot so that
they would be nearly concealed, II
will stand thus and then l will have my
hands taken separately.
The idea was good one. After her
negative was made she rested her arm
upon an upright support, AID held her
hand against black walnut background
while it was photographed. 1t made
beautiful picture, which is now for sale
in Nassau street store among pictures
of actresses, actors, divas, tenors and i'm
pressarios. This seems to have started
the fashion. Now young ladies may en-

she was asked to explain how it was the

1t had been given to her by its mother
in due form of law, and she WAS bent on

warned her of the consequences which
