There it is, Monsieur!

That well-known artist Y. has reg
ular Othello of a wife. for whose devotion
insane jealousy is no name. The other
evening when he appeared dressed and
prepared to go out the following dialogue
took place:
Where are you going?
ITO dinner"
seWith who?"
"Oh, college friend, you don't know
him."
"You know you amt telling the
truth"
81 swear that"--
"I'llgo with you.
"You won't!"
''Then you'll stay at home.
"I'n be spiffiicated if 1 do"
IF you stir out of this house I'll throw
myself out of the Window
"An right, madamel'' yelled the infu-
rated artist, jamming on his hat and
dashing cut of the room, slamming the
door.
"Great heavens!" he gasps, when he
has been dug out of the wreck OF his
hat, 81 never thought She where Is
the-it-that thing, you know?"
| There it Is, monsieur!
And they point with awe to the lay
figure which his wife had thrown out oi
the window on his hat with mingled
orce and dexterity.

An Extraordinary Wound.

An instance of singular tolerance of a
severe wound of the brain was recently
communicated by NJ. Dubrisay to the
Societe de Medicine de Paris. A msn,
aged A, in an attempt at suicide. sent a
small dagger through his skull into the
b1 ain. The weapon Was ten centimetres
long and one wide. He had held the
dagger in his left hand and given it with
the right several blows with the mallet,
believing that he would fall dead at the
first blow. Te his profound surprise he
felt no pain and observed no particular
phenomena, He struck the dagger In
all about dozen times. The man was
a drunkard, but was sober at the time
of the moment of the attempt. When
seen about two hours later the handle
of the dagger was projecting from the
skull at the junction of the posterior and
middle third, little to the middle line,
and in u transverse position. The whole
blade was imbedded, except part one
centimeter in length. For half an hour
unsuccessful attempts were made to get
the dagger out. The patient was placed
on the ground, two vigorous persons
fixed his shoulders, and, aided by a
strong pair of carpenters pinchers, re-
peated attempts were made. but with
out success. The patient and assistants
were raised off the ground, but the dag
ger was immovable. These attempts
caused no pain. More powerful me-
chanical instruments were then en-
ployed. The patient, who walked well,
and complained of no headache, was
taken to q coppersmith's, and by strong
pincers the handle of the dagger was
fastened to a chain which was passed
over a cylinder turned by steam power.
The rincers used for drawing out tubes
of copper were so made that tie more
they were pulled the tighter they grasp
ed. The man was then fastened tOrings
fixed in the ground and the cylinder
was gently set in motion. At the second
turn the dagger came out. The blade
measured ten centimetres in lergth, of
which nine had entered the interior OF
the skull. The patient, who had SUBJ
mittcd with the greatest coolness to
these man9uvres, suffered no pain OF
inconvenience. Some drops of blood
escaped, and in few minutes afterward
the man was able to walk away TO hos.
pital, where he remained in bed for tel
days, but without fever or pain. He
then returned to bis work, and the wount
gradually healed. NJ Dubrisay en-
deayored by post-mortem experiment
to ascertain what parts of the brain haG
been injured. He drove the daggerint
the head of q cadaver in the same situa
, ton and to the same depthe, and foun,
that, without iniuring the superior Ion
gitudinal sinus. it had passed into tn
cerebral substance, just behind the as
. cending parietal convolution, and thu
, behind the motozone; the point had no
reached the base. The difficulty in e1
5 traction had been due solely to the fixs
ton Of the instrument by the edges {

The Old Sexton.

Not long ago travelling agent called
at Dobson's house, Carson City, with a
ward sprinkler. 1t was a simple affair,
only cost dollar and quarter, and
when tested on the end of hose could
be stuck anywhere in the ground. Each
evening the children came in drenched
to their skin, were spanked in due form
and sent to bed, while their garments
were dried before the kitchen stove. The
next thing on the programme was a wo-
man attending to four sick children.
Yesterday the door-ben rang and a
sysemn man walked into the parlor. and
unpacking valise, remarked
81 presume, madam, that you some
times have the black-winged angel Of
death flap its fyrrs in this house, eh p
The lady was forced to admit that
such indeed was the case.
"Here is new style of coffin plate
especially adapted to the wants of large
family. 1t has place for the photo
graph of the deceased. Persons looking
at the corpse can compare thu waxy fes-
lures of tina dead with the Photographic
counterpart of the living, and judge at
a g'ance OF the change wrought by the
fell destroyer"
"Ah, yes, you will; they cost but a
trifle and can always be kept ready for
use. You simply lack it on the top Of
the coffin, No undertaken objects. /
hear a child coughing in the next room.
There is death in that cough, madam.
The..summons of Ariel. the destroyer,
is at hand. l know that only last week
you brought yard sprinkler of little
red-headed man in gray clothes. l keep
right behind him. Every family that
buys sprinkler needs patent coffin
plate. He belongs to the same firm with
me-"
The woman controlled her feelings
sufficiently to decline, and the man asked
to be directed to the family where a
death was likely TO occur, Being direct
ed to a house on the next street where
bulldog was kept in the front yard,
the agent skipped gayly away. whistling
''The Old Sexton" in a joyous key.

winked at each Other.

There were several men clustering
around the stoye in the back room of a
Galveston saloon, Texas and somehow
or other the subject of newspapers came
up for discussion. One man said that
editors were more jealous than any other
class, that they never had a good word
for each other, etc.
A long haired youth, with a solemn,
look spoke up, and heaving a sigh, said
he had had some experience with edi
tors and found them the reverse; that a
Texas editor was always willing to deny
himself comforts for the benefit of a
brother editor
"Where did that happen?"
at happened in Western Texas
town where 1 lived" sighed the young
man. 81 had dashed off little poem
of fifteen stanzas about Beautiful
SPRING There were two rival papers
in the piace-The Bugle and Trombone
1 had heard that the editors were dead
ly enemies and sighed to shed each 9TH
er's gore. and was afraid That if 1 let
the Trombone publish my poem fir.t
there would be deadly encounter. 1
finally resolved to have it appear SIM
in both papers. When I
called on the editor of the Trombone he
said the editor of tine Bugle had large
family. and that he would prefer it
would appear in the Eugle. as personal
" he loved the editor of the Bugle. 1
went then to the Bugle man and he said
the editor of the Trombone was his
warmest personal friend, and he would
be glad if I would let him have the
poem, as it would lie putting bread in
his mouth and clothes on his back. So,
owing to the love those two editors
had for each other, couldn't get my
poem into either of their papers, and it
hasn't been published yet. 1 never saw
men so anxious to help each other out
of DISTRESS" and once more the long
haired poet sighed like a bellows.
There was pause and an old man
with frost-bitten nose dIawled out:
"Yer never tried them editors with a
cash advertisement, did yer?'
The poet answered in the negative,
whereat, the audience significantly
nodded their heads and wiuked at each
other.

A Wonderful Tree.

A farmer living near Schooley Noun
tain, New Jersey. has greatly excited
his neighbors by an account of won
derful tree which he discovered several
years ago and which he has been watch
ing ever since. He says that for three
years it has gone through the cold
weather without shedding leaf. 1t is
maple tree and its sap makes very
good maple sugar. The farmer noticed
it first while following the trail of a fox
up over the mountain, early in Decem-
ber 1878. All the other trees, even of
the same species, were entirely bare,
while this tree had not, to all appear
ances, lost a single leaf. There were nc
dried leaves underneath it and the leaves
on the branches were all green. 1t was
with great difficulty that leaf could be
pulled from the twig to which it was
fastened, and a strong breeze, which was
blowing at the time, had no effect upon
the leaves. So astonished was the dis
coverer of the phenomenon that he for
got all about the fox he was after and
the cold character of the day and spent
several hours III examining the tree He
went home greatly puzzled and returned
several days later with a clergyman liv-
ing in the viciniIy. They determined
to mark several of the leaves and see
how long they remained where they
were. They also resolved to keep
the thing a secret and watch its
progress until spring. This they did.
When April arrived the leaves which
they had maaked were just as green and
fresh as in December. and the tree itself
was not affected in the least by the Sc
verify of the weather and the many
windy blasts.
The bark was tapped every week and
yielded plentiful supply of sap;enough
to keep both the farmer and the minis
ter's families in syrup all winter long,
The same has been tried ever since not
leaf has fallen to the best of their be-
lief since the day the tree was noticed,
and the sap has flowed with the same
regularity and profusion. As far as can
be ascertained there is no cause tor the
mysterious vitality of that particular
maple. There is nothing in the soil or
sub-sol to render growth r,ore available
or make the trunk and branches better
able to stand the storms and cold wealth
er. A number of people have lately
visited the curiosity, but each one comes
away perfectly mystified. At the pre-
sent time not another tree on the whole
mountain, with the exception of several
evergreens near the hotels, has a leaf
on it and the trunks and branches stand
out bleak and bare. This maple is in an
exposed spot, unprotected from the
winds and surrounded by rocks. just
why it is as it is battles the ingenuity of
all beholders, Even the December fox
hunt is cast in the shade by this per-
petually green maple tree.

The suaIlow-Tailed Coat.

When NJ. Brisson hrst took the Presid-
ential chair in the French Assembly vaca-
ted by his predecessor, he proceeded to
abandon habit which NJ. Gambetta had
always scrupuiously observed. He ap-
peared in a frock coat, instead Of the
orthodox evening dress, which the Cham
Der had always been accustomed 10 see
worn in this place. Further reflection
caused the new President TO alter his
mind, and he returned meekly, after a
very short interval, to the dress consecrat-
ed by former usage. The incident has not
failed to set the wiseacres on an inquiry as
to the origin OF these tail coais-the most
queer, though not the least comfortable
of modern habiliments. According to the
received pedigree of the garment, it Is q
direct descendant of the old French dress
coat worn in the time of Louis XIV. lhe
chief differences between the two are that
the ancient habit had q stand-up collar,
aud it was of various cOlors, and espe-
cially of brighter tin.s. This coat, which
is pretty familiar in prints OF the last Gen.
tury, was made of cloth, velvet or boura
can which was q mixture of goats hair
WOOi, VI chlug auu w a. Oitch 20 ASd N1uhS-
lot, in imitation of camels' s'-hair garments
worn in the East. The inside of the coat
was, however lined with some rich stuff
Of better material; and it was with q
view TO display this lining that the top
part of the coat on each side was turned
back as far as psssibIe, and Kept back by
buttons placed near the shoulders. In
the course of time the habit altered it
size repeatedly. but never lost its essent;a
distinction Of open facings and swallow
tails behind, called by the French cod,

as aforesaid, became darker in the Revo
lutionary period; and In the time of th'
frst Empire blue was the favorite hue
with gold buttons, or embroidcries Of gold

A Sea Monster.

The finding Of the remains OF the
large sea serpent in a mari PIT at Mari-
borough, N. j., was supplemented by
the discovery of the remains of another
one. The last end was somewhat de-
composed, and only two large
tusks and portions Of the jawbone of the
reptile were found preserved, the other
bones crumbling to pieces when e1-
posed 10 the air. The bones found last
week are all well preserved, and the
tusks are remarkable for their size and
fine natural polish. Professor Samuel
Lockwood gives the following descrip-
ton of the reptile: 1T was a monster of
great bulk. 1t had two paddles well
forward and two behind, the body be-
ing short and stout. The bones of the
paddles. from their size and so idity, in
dicate extraordinary propelling power,
The tail was stout, long and serpentine,
but little hattish, thus sffording great
aid in propulsion by a sculhng move
ment. The neck was long, and yet
thick enough to support the head high
out of the water while the mon ter was
engaged in devouring its prey. The
huge jaws were armed with tusks which
were more formidable than those of the
crocodile. The lower jaw was very
singular in structure, and had joint
like an elbow. In the act of swallow
ing, the reptile could enlarge its gull
let by means of this elbow joint. The
act of swallowing was necessarily slow,
and the reptile no doubt would have had
great trouble in retaining in its mouth
its struggling prey if it had not been for
a supplementary jaw which was used as
a grapnel, This was armed with small
teeth, which were curved in shape. As
the large jaws, with their great tusks
were being opened so as to obtain :
new hold, the little grapnel jaw held tn,
struggling prey fast, and the NOV
ments alternated until the fish or othe
prey was forced down the great throat.
The cnly bones Of this monster reptil
of the antediluvian age known are thos
in the mari pits, and no name has We
been found for it by the scientists.

A man went off on fishing excur-

A low moan caused the city editor of
western paper, to look up from the
work of writing a notice of Colonel
Bumder, who had merely called to an
nounce his arrival, declaring that these
newspaper fellows will find it out any

chirography, stated that Mrs. Milkrip'

"Want to get relation out of the pc

For years and years ago John Will

him and avenged its wrongs. Sorrow
fully We lifted the little box and carried

beyond the hills, looking down in silent
grandeur, were voiceless witnesses OF

One Of the passengers who had come

wide open, a lace curtain streamed idly
from a window. In through the open
door could see the tes-table set and
waiting. On the lawn a handsome,
graceful woman romped with two child

her hands and looking down the street
long and earnestly. 1t was Mrs. Nc

The total effective strength of the
French army, in 1892, will amount to
nearly half million men and 126. 600
horses on the active establishment,
without taking into consideration the
Reserve and the Territorial forces. OF
these 472 900 and 113. 900 horses belong
to the army, the remainder being ac-
counted for in the gendarmerie, who
are under the same administration as
the army. The infantry consists of
1927. $50 men, divided into IA line regi-
ments, 80 battallions of Rifles, four
regiments of Zouaves, three African
battalions, five companies of Light In
fantry, three regiments of SpalIis, or
native troops, a foreign legion of four
battalions, and sixty-fve sections of
troops of administration, corresponding
with our brigade depots. The cavalry
consists of n regiments, viz, II of cui-
rassiers, 26 of Dragons, 20 of chasseurs,
IL OF hussars, of chasseurs d'Afrique,
and OF Spahls-maklnS total Jf 69.-
900 men. The 80 regiments of artillery
comprise Sc 600 men, and pontooners,
workmen, artificers, etc, bring the total
of this branch of the service up to 49,
900. The Engineers are divided into
four regiments, containing ii. 900 men;
and the Military tram consists of twenty
squadrons, with total effective strength
of ZOO. To officer this army the
French estimates provide for 81 gene
raj officers, not so very many more than
England has to command less than hall
the number of men. The title of Mar.
