The Philadelphia Times of last

liceman Verden. of the Seventh dis
trict, watched the approach of a
mysterious looking individual and an
uncommonly large and unwleldy
bundle as he stood in a dark recess
at the corner of Third and Willow
streets last night. The man discern

is to say, he ran, and of course the
policeman began chase to capture
the supposed thief and his valuable
booty. Loungers on the corners by
which they passed joined In the pur-
suit. and soon the fellow was leading
a crowd of nearly hundred people
through dusty streets and dark alleys
at a lively rate of speed. Finally he
bseame hotly pressed and he threw
away his bundle and escaped The
exficer and his fellow pursuers stop
PED the Chase TO examine the booty,
when TO TIER astonishment end DIS

carefully wrapped in brown paper.

A LITTLE MIXED.

A fashionable Young lady visited
a cooking school, recently, where
her attention Was equally divided
between a new dress worn by an
acquaintance and the directions for
making a cake. Upon returning
home she undertook 10 write down
the recipe for making the cake for
her mother. and the old lady was
paralyzed when she read:
Take two pounds of -four, three
rows OF pleating do Sn the front, the
whites of two eggs cut bias, a pint
of milk ruffled around the neck,
half pound of currants with seven
yards Of bead trimming. grated
lemon peel with Spanish lace tichu
stir well, and add a semi-ftting
paletot with visite Sleeves; butter
the pan with Brazilian topaz neck
lace, and garnish with icing and
jetted passemeaterie; bake in a
moderately hot oven until the over
skirt is tucked from the waste
down on either side. and finish
with large satin bows" Her mother
said Sue wouldn't eat such cake,
and she thought these new-fangled
ideas in cooking ought to be frown-
ed down.

Mr.. Alexander Grunnell, of Al
bany. N. Y. says: Il had been for
years troubled with great weakness
OF my digestive organs, which
seemed to be always out of fix.
Most usually I suffered from con-
stipation, and at other times a Sc
we're running-of' at the bowels
would set in. No remedy 1 ever
tried would regulate this function
until l tried Browns Iron Bitters.
1t really benefited me from the ftst
day usedit. My habits are now
perfectly regular, ard as strength
ener OF the digestive organs, I think
Browns Iron Bitters worth its
weight in diamonds"

OUR VERB

An educational journal thus de-
scribes the trouble a Frenchman
had with the word break:
Il begin to understand Your Ian
guage better" said my French
friend, Mr.. Dubois. to me, "but
your verbs trouble me still; you mix
them up SO with propositions"
II am sorry you find them so
troublesome" was all I could say.
II saw your friend. Mrs. Murk-
son, just now" he continued. She
says she intends to break down
housekeeping. Am right there?""
Break up housekeeping" she
must have said.
ooh, yes. I remember, break up
housekeeping"
"Why does she do thats" asked.
because her. health is broken

Broken down"
Broken down? Oh, yes; indeed,
since the smallpox has broken up
in our city"
Broken out"
"She thinks she will leave it for a
few weeks"

Broken into"
Certainly; that was what ]
meant to say" :.
"Is her son to be married soon?
"No; that engagement is broken

"Ah, I had not heard of that. ;"
"She is very sorry about it. Hel

"He merely broke the news; nc

1T is hard to understand. Tha

The Man SteaIn Engine.

A Pars athlete, commonly known
as the man steam engine" is declared
by the Paris papers to have run thlr-
teen and halt miles in one hour on
April 2. The best rec orded perfor.
nance of this kind by an English pro-
fessional is about clever and a half
miles, and accepting as true the report
of the Frenchman's feat, the London
Globe laments the loss of England's
Old time supremacy in every sport But
perhaps the Globe drains the cup of gall
needlessly. The statement that a holly
contested record has been beaten by
two miles taxes credulity, and an
American gentleman who has master.
ed the subject of athlete facts and fan
cies declares that it is a physiological
impossibility for any human being to
run thirteen and half miles in a hour.
