PeODle and Things.

At Victoria, B. c., a man had accumu-
lated through small business fortune
of a few thousand dollars. His wife con-
to herself. Last week she died suddenly,
and the strictest search has failed to re-
veal the place ofdeposit. A local paper
says: The husband is distracted ir
consequence ofhis double loss"
At New Philadelphia, O., a swiss,
named John Winkler of Stone Creek,
Fuscarawas county, exhibited a remark
able feat of strength and physical en-
durance. On wager of 500 he carried
a barrel of -four, weighing about 225
pounds, to Canal Dover, a distance
of three miles, in tifty-fve minutes.
Under the wager he could have rested
fifteen minutes, .but he stopped but four
minutes Of the time, and came in on the
homestretch seemingly but little ia
tigued.
Ex-Secretary Evarts tells delightful
story at his own expense about a small
donkey which he sent up to his country
seat for the use of his children. One of
his little daughters, going out with her
nurse to admire the animal in its pad.

dolefully "Poor thing! poor
thing" exclaimed the sympathetic
child-but suddenly bright

said: ooh! am so glad. Papa will be
here on Saturday, and then 1 wont feel
so lonesome"

Hold Bey as one of the most faithful and
valiant officers of the Ottoman army, to
which he still belongs, after an active
military career of los years. He has
fought in sixty-fve pitched battles and
innumerable skirmishes, received TWEEN
ty-three wounds, and earned over and
over again every war decoration in the
gift of the grand signor. Although well
advanced in his one hundred and TWEEN
tieth year, he is strong and hearty, re-
tains the use of all his faculties, and en-
toys an excellent appetite,

The Travelled Lady.


A jaunt over railway is often rs good
as trip to the MINISTRIES. Last week
we took a spin over the Michigan Cen
trail, and during our waking moments
were highly edited, amused and instruct
ed by the tone and conversation of two
ladies in the seat fornist our own, across
the aisle and abaft the pinnacle. The
variety of their intelligence and vast
fund of general information attracted
our attention, and we just sat there and
drank it all in like cold truth from liv-
ing spring.
''Do you suppose they have air brakes
the window with a bronze green plume
in her hat.
80, yes, they run 'em now on all
trains"
"What are they for?"
so, they are to ventilate the car and
give 'em more fresh air. l heard they
intended to put 'em on cattle cars so the
poor animals could get plenty of oxy-
gen."
Indeed? This is wonderful age.
Did you ever ride in chair carr"
80, yes, they are just the incest kind
of cars. Some of 'em are real easy, too,
have rockers on 'em. But like Sleep
er the best"
Eyes, they are made homelike and
comfortable. eff any accident happens
they unlock the sleeper and leave it at
the last station"
"Why, my! How NICE"
"Yes, and the sleeper is much more
comfortable to ride in because it don't
go as fast as the rest of the train.
''It don't?"
80, no, Charles says The Pullman COM
pany won't allow THE railroads to haul
the sleepers near SO fast as the balance
of the cars"
"Why, how strangew
eyes, very"
"What do you suppose makes the cars
sway 50, back and forth?"
80, I heard the railroad company had
been experimenting lately with rockers
on the cars. It's something to do with
conclusion and retraction of the expan-
sive compression, or something of that
kind"
"What wonderful age!''
sit is, really. And these accident in
surance companies are great improve
ment over the old style of travelling.
Charles says all fir st. class roads carry
them nowadays, and it makes one so
much more secure to know that they
are on the same train with one of them.
They are worked by electricity, and
must cost awful high, don't you think
so?"

Interesting Relninescence of a
Great Actress

Mr.. Legouve of the French Academy
has been prompted, by the appearance
of the volume containingthe correspond
ence of Rachel, to publish his reminis-
cences of the great actress. One day
when they were rellearsing Medea-a
role which M. Legouve had had much
difficulty in persuade lg her to accept
he went to her villa at Auteuil, and found
her laughing, singing and picking flow
ers in her garden. sNow we shall have. a
a fine mornings work." she cried. 81
am SO glad that you have come. am SO
we'll, and so glad to be alive to-day"
,"Well, them" said NJ Megouve, 'sup-
pose we undertake to rhearse the grand
scene-the scene of toilette" Rachelcon-
scented and they were soon deep in the
study of the scene viii, h Legouve consid-
cred the capital one IN his piece, that in
which he had made "Medea" exult over
the death of "Creusa" from the poisoned
garment. Rachel went through this scene
in a becoming manner, but suddenly
turned to Legouve and cried: ''This
scene must be cut ott." "What do you
say? Cut Quit? Why, the whole drama
has been written, ] might say. for the
purpose of bringing it in!" "Well."
SalQ Racnel. WIN the alF Ol one eHIireiy
convinced, "the scene is fatal to the
piece, because it destroys the interest in
the piece" Son the contrary, the in
terest is here carried up to the very
highest PITCH" eyes, the interest in
the horrible and the odious. But we
don't need this in the third act: Re-
member that have to kill my children
later on, and that I must be touching.
Do you understand monsieur, must be
touching! Now, how conld I seem touch
ing when a few minutes before the au-
dience had seen me coldly, peridiously,
and in the most cowardly manner COM
init a murder? If you put your great
scene of the murder of 'Creusa' in, you
should leave out the murder of the chill
dren. should no longer be anything
but'a criminal. / should not believe in
my own tears!" M. Legouve says that
he looked at Rachael for few minutes
without being able to answer her-he
was surprised to see girl without ed
ucation arrive by instinct, by natural SUI
periority of mind, at the most profound
criticism. He took her hand impulsive-
" and said: "You are right; I will cut
the scene out" And he did.

How Some Lively Young People
Cured a HypOch0ndriac.
N the Cleveland (Ohio) Leader.

fronl Ine CleVelano (On1O) Leader.
A Cleveland gentleman, who is fond
of story, related to Leader reporter,
few days ago, an instance ofhypochon.
dria which came under his no
tice when he was considerably
younger than at the present
time. His narrative was something like
this: "When 1 was a boy there lived
near our house, in part of Cleveland
that was then almost in the woods, a
maiden lady, who was In very poor
health. In girlhood she was not strong,
and as years advanced she imagined her
self growing more and more delicate, till
at last she took to her bed, where she
afterward remained in daily expectation
OF death. Her nerves were delicate, and
in my school days the schoolmaster used
to warn us urchins to keep quiet when
going by her house, as we might disturb
her If any noise was made. Ny youth
and boyhood passed, and with the COM
ing of manhood l discovered that young
sister of the invalid was very pretty
girl, and when. after coming home from
church or singing. school with her, an
invitation to come in was given, it was
always accepted. The short and awk-
ward visits made at first soon gave place
to the old-fashioned sitting up. One even
ing several of the young people came in,
and the talk and laughter grew hilari-
GUS. 1t was checked instantly by heavy
thump on the floor in the room directly
overhead, where the sick woman lay.
One warning wa, enough, but the fire.
qnency of the same signal afterward
tended to lessen our respect for it. It
seems that she kept big cane standing
at the side of her bed, and by rappin !
with it indicated her wants-and her dis
pleasure. Finally, one night, after being
cautioned several times in the usual man
ner without effect, the parior floor opened
suddenly upon the assembled party, and
the bed-ridden woman stood before our
eyes, holding the awful cane in hand.
1t was the first time she had moved in
20 years. Her entrance was SO sudden
that she was able to give two or three
singing blows to those sitting nearest
her before an escape could be made.
In moment u shout or LAUGHTER went
up, and the supposed invalid was not
slow in finding that she was the cause
Her mother and sister fixed her up with
suitable clothes, and she spent the re-
mainder of the evening down stairs and
the day following she went about the
family house work. / didn't marry the Gil
whom courted under such adverse
circumstances. She in time married and
went to Massachusetts, and it was only
last we that saw the once invalid
woman walking as briskly about as
any. person of 81 could be expected
to do"

In the line of health Geneva comes
first and Edinburgh second, according
to a magazine writer, and in the latter
city it is said the death rate is only eigh-
teen per one thousand. This speaks
well for the Scotchmen.

THE KING OF BEASTS.

A recent traveller in Central Africa
says: 'Lions are one of the dangers be-
tween Zanzibar and the great lakes. They
sometimes hunt game in packs of six to
eight. Some animals show fight against
them successfully. Lions never venture
to attack the adult elephant, and even
avoid the buffalo, unless they are more
than two to one. In general they do not
attack caravans, and never in daytime.
At most hungry lion may spring upon
and carry off straggler while passing
through the brakes and iungles. But it
is otherwise at night. When lions scent
the caravan from afar, particularly if it
contains goats or beasts of burden, they
approach and announce their vicinity bv
terrific roars. Nevertheless, in a we'll
inclosed camp there is no danger; the
lions never attempt to clear the obstacles,
and marksmen from behind the palioades
can pick them off with almost unfailing
aim. There is danger only when the
camp is moi completely inclosed, or when
those inside go out to attack them"

A DOG CAPTURES A BIG SEAL.

A note from the keeper of United
States Life Saving Station No. 2, Third
District. Point Judith, dated February
Dist, says: GAS surfman No. 3, Chaun-
cey @. Kenyon, was going his beat from
IL IL. to A. NJ, his attention was attract
ed to the loud and continuous barking Of
the dog which belongs to the captain of
this station. Kenyon, thinking perhal s
it might be the body of drownded
person, went in that direction as quickly
as possible, and upon approaching the
spot found that the courageous dog was
holding at bay a very large seal. Kenyon
was in quandary what to do, as he was
not armed with any weapon more for
midable than Coston light holder; and
he did not want to loose the noble game.

HOW TWO BABIES WERE
MIXED UP.

A Mrs. Wilson came into the city by a
late train one night last week from
Belleville. She had seveal children with
her, one of them baby in arms, which
was snugly wrapped up in a huge shawl.
Another lady arrived from some point
west, aud was also the owner of bady.
The ladies placed their babies in the
waiting-room while they went to look up
their baggage. When they returned
they took one another's baby, and the
lady from Belleville drove to Parkdale,
and the lady from the west to the north
end of Yonge Street. One of the chill
dren was a boy and the other girl, and
they were put to bed hurriedly when
home was reached. The surprise of the
mothers may be imagined next morning,
when apparently a single night had
transformed the sex of the babies. The
children were not ''unmixed" until Mon
day.

KANGAROO AND YOUNG.

The old doe-kangaroos have a habit,
when closely pressed by their enemies,
of pulling their young ones from their
hiding place in the maternal pouch and
throwing them away, aud have, accord
ingly, been placed by some authors at
the bottom of the scale OF animal life, rs
deficient in natural affection; but this
want of maternal instinct is more appar-
ent than real, for the poor mother, if
she escapes with her life, invariably re-
turns TO pick up her joey as soon as the
coast is clear, having probably cast it
away for time in order to save both
their lives, knowing that her pursuers
would neglect its slender form in their
eager chase for herself, who, temporar-
lily relieved of her burden, could more
readily make her escape; SO that, in
reality, it is true affection, and not the
want of it, that prompts the old kangaroo
to act in the apparently unnatural man.
ner peculiar to her race.
