Worce than a Rulldor's Grin.

A barn in this city is infested with
rats. A day or two since a large steel
jaw trap was set for the pests, and neat
ly concealed on top of n chopping-block.
The same day man was hired to .'clean
up things" in the barn. He did his
work faithfully, and after while, be-
coming weary, concluded to take rest
Looking round, he espied the chopping-
block, an inviting seat, and leisurely
planted himself on it, when-snap went
the trap, and the cries and yells of the
innocent victim of the surprise party
could be heard the length Of the street.

Vanderbilt on POINTS"

1.-THE more points q man gets the worse
he is off," William H. Vanderbilt often
says. It's one of his standing set speech
es. 'I've got people coming to my
house all day long with points, said
he once to me, "telling me what Gould
is going to do, what Keene is up to, and
if / had listened to them all wouldn't
have dollar left" The point is one
of the most deadly instruments Of war
fare ever employed against mankind. If
Gould, for instance, has put up Wabash,
Kansas e. Pacific, or any of his other
stocks twenty or thirty per cent, and
wants to sell, his friends all give out the
point" that the stock is a "grand pur-
chase" The point" is fortified by the
glowing publication of a consolidation"
or a new traffic arrangement with some
other road described as vastly lucrative,
elaborate statements of fabulously in
creased earnings, the declaration of q
privilege" which afterwards turns out
burden and loss, and everybody rush.
es i'm to buy at advancing figures while
the little man is quickly unloading.
Gould himself, it must be said to his
credit, seldom volunteers "points"-he
lets his henchmen do that. Il have no
interest in the Market" is Gould's well
known stereotyped speech in reply tothe
inexhaustible inquiries he has to meet
every day as to "What is the best to
buy?' Vanderbilt has adopted the same
rule. The fact is the unforeseen happens
so often. if not always, that giving
.spoints'' is rather "ticklish' business.

millionaire in great stage of rage. I'll

A Wife's Portmonnaie.

When Pat was asked why he was
thinking of getting married, he answer
ed: he co,ad almost support himself, and
it would be apOOr woman that could
not do little toward il. Many man
besides Pat has been married for the
same reason, but has not been honest
enough to own it. No doubt Kathleen
will be much happier with her honest
husband than she would if he has made
her believe he was worth his weight in
money. What if she does have to 90
out to work, doing other peoples drudg-
cry. She will have the pleasure of re-
ceiving pay for it, and that will be more
than some Of her more favored sisters
do. / have known woman to do the
same amount of work in year that her
neighbor across the way hired done ut
$3 per week, besides caring for large
family of children. And what wages
did she get? Just enough to Keep Ger

too bigoted to believe that his wife's
judgment was better than his in any
such matters. never knew her to have

Talk to him about letting his wife

they never had it to use.

ers who read this have been in the habit
of dividing the money received from the
proceeds Of their united labor, but there
are hundreds who cram the well-filled
pocketbook down into the deepest pock-
ct with a self-satisfied air that seems to
say palmer than words: Its all mine,"

Another Kind of Doctors Shop.

Old Bill McGammon, who keeps o
grocery store in the suburbs of Austin,
Is one of the closest men in the State Of
Texas, and he abbreviates his words in
writing. He abbreviated the names on
the drawers and boxes of contents in his
grocery, instead of painting the names
in full. For instance, be painted on the
sugar barrel "Br. Sugar" for brown sug.
ar and so on.
Last Tuesday feeble looking strang-
er dropped into Bill McGammon's store.
and after looking around. said:

Fate of an Acrobat.

We see no more good reason for max
ing a stage business of such exercise as
may develop ones physical health and
strengthen the limbs, than for making a
public business of keeping ones teeth
and hands clean. What mother would
wish her son to be professional rope
dancer or circus-tumbler-not to men,
ton her daughter? Aside from the UNI
naturalness and debasing effect of such
a life, the accidents" to which even the
best-trained and most experienced per-
formers are liable are too frequent and
of too sad kind to be generally known.
1t is for the showman's interest to keep
them secret.
When a 'great show recently came
to the city of Brooklyn, a family group
of three persons sat down together in
the breakfast-tent. They were acrobats
of unsurpassed agility and skill. A sad
faced woman, a young man OF middle
size, a girl Just entering her teens.
There had been four of them prior to
recent performance, but the ''star,"
an elder girl, the most daring of them
all, had "missed her notion in a feat
of uncommon peril, and had fallen upon
the receiving-net.
.'She was but slightly injured" all
were told who cared or thought to ask.
but the little group at the table knew
that she was dying.
They performed their parts, that day,
as skilfully as ever, though with so
much more weight than usual to carry,
but when the evening exhibition was
over, there were indeed, but three of
them. The fourth had gone forever

A Very IDENTIFIED Young Actress,

A writer in the London Sporting and
Dramatic Nc,0S gives an account of an
amusing episode which happened some
time since in the green-room of one Of
the leading provincial theatres. His
friend ElpOol is the manager, and he
had given IN engagement to certain
Miss Hortie, lady who was half way
between an amateur and n professional
actress. Miss Hortic, who had very
high opinion Of her dignity, was cast for
short but very important part in
certain drama. The william, in the final
act, was having it all his own way, and
was declaring triumphantly "But such
testimony can never be forthcoming!"
when Miss Hortie, the only person who
could set things right, and who was sup
posed to be dead. had to enter quietly
and say, you are mistakenr'
On this, of course, the whole effect of
the scene depended, and when ElpOol
went to the wing to see if Miss Hortie
was in her place ready to go on, that
lady was nowhere to be seen. He rushed
about in despair and bolted into the
grccn-room, where the lady was quietly
sitting down, doing some extraordinarily
.high class" embroidery.
"Now, my dear" cried ElpoOl, ''your
scenes on. For goodness sake don't
miss your cuen'
The lady rose with much dignity and
began:
'Mr. Elpool, beg to state
Yes, yes my dear; but tell me about
it aftcrward. Whatisit? Nothing wrong,
hope? Wen see about it; but do 60
on"
"Mr. Elpool, 1 wish to say that /"
..But, my dear, your cue will be given
in a second, and the scene ruined! Why
don't you go on?" cried poor Elpool,
stamping in an air of excitement.
Just then in rushed one of the other
actors.
Your cues past, and the stage is
waitingr' he cried, while the unhappy
Elpool sank into q chair dumbfounded.
Only the lady herself was calm.
"Mr. Elpool," she began once more,
'.when l accepted an engagement in
your theatre, had no notion that you
would presume to take the liberty of
calling me my DEAR and l beg that so
great a violation of propriety may not be
permitted to occur again!'
With that off stalked the lady, to find
the curtain just fallen and the audience
dcrisive.

there were no listeners-then you think
a man could safely intrust his money to

"Why, certainly. There is no safer

the editors hand, which he shook al
most gleefully.

The PHILOSOPHER and the Flea,

This is tho tale of the philosopher and
tho flea:
l. The former, having been bitten
by the latter, seized and was about to
dispatch his foe, when he reflected that
the little insect had only acted from in
stinct, and was not to be blamed. Ac-
cordingly he deposited the flea on the
back of passing dog.
2. This dog was the poodle of n lady.
and she was very fond of the pretty an
imal. On his return to the house his
mistress took him upon her lap to carass
him, and the flea embraced his OppOr-
tunity to change his inhabt.
3. The flea having in the course of
the night engaged in active business OPP
erations, awakened the lady. Her hus-
band was sleeping peacefully beside her,
and in the silence of the chamber she
heard him in his dreams whisper with
an accent Of ineffable tenderness name!
The name was that of her most intimate
female friendll
4. AS soon rs it was day, the out
ragged wife hurried to the house of her
rival, and told the rivals husband of the
big, big ding discovery she had
made. He, being man OF decision, at
once called out the destroyer of his
household peace, and ran him through.
5. The widow, when her husband
was taken home to her upon the medi-
UNI of a shutter, was so terribly smitten
with remorse that she precipitated her.
self from the fourth-stOry window.
6. The other lady convinced her hus-
bopd fbof ha had Nrou rod her nv enter-
tanning any suspicious as to her fidelity,
and, becoming reconcilcd with him,
seized an early opportunity of poisoning
him.
Z. Inasmuch as the jurors of that
country had never heard of "extenuat-
ing circumstances" and the chief mag
istrate thought that he could put muir
derer to better uses than not guillotining
him. the guilty woman was duly decap-
itated, and the sole survivors of the
tragedy were the philosopher and the
flea.

The Jacquard Loom,

jacquard was straw manufacturer
in the city of Lyons; he was poOrm
and he had received little or no instruc-
ton. During the war with England an
article appeared in the French Moniteur,
which stated that a person in England
had offered a large sum of money to any
man who could produce machine by
which n net could be made. This SGT
him TO work. and he did get over the
great difficulty of producing machine
by which knot could be tied. The
thing was forgotten, till, by some acct
dent, this net was given to the great
Emperor Napoleon; and he was told
that poor man on the banks OF the
Rhonc had solved very great and diff
licult problem. jacquard, in great pow
erty, one day, and scarcely knowing
how to exist, was surprised by visit of
sergeant of genddrnies, who knocked
the sergeant said:
Il have orders to take you to Paris"
WHO has sent for me at ParisP' he
cried.
"Why. you will hear that when you
get there. There is carriage waiting
for YOU" exclaimed the sergeant.
Il must send for my wife, and make
preparation" said jacquard.
"No, you must go asyouare," replied
the sergeant.
And he was taken to the Palace of the
Tuilcries, and instantly introduced to
two persons-no less distinguished than
Napoleon Bonaparte and his great min
lister Carnot.
Napoleon said, "They tell me you say
YOU can tic knot in straight string
(for that is the art of knitting) by a
piece of machinery. l don't believe you,
and in order to try you. / will have you
locked up in an apartment. and supplied
with materials upon which to work, and
everything you require to make your
machine"
Well, jacquard set to work so locked
up, and constructed a machine; was
covered with honor, continued to direct
his attention to mechanical art, and az
tcrward produced that machine which
bears his name. and which, by merely
throwing the shuttle across the warp,
produced the most beautiful patterns.
These machines produced revolution
in French manufacture; thrice the peo-
pie of the city of Lyons rose upon JAG
guard; twice they attempted to drown
him in the Rhone. He withdrew him
self from the world for many years, still
attempting to be the benefactor of his
native land.
Opinion changed, however, and be-
fore he died he was the recipient of a
liberal pension, not only from the city
of Lyons, hut from the French Govern
ment. He died upon the property which
was conveyed to him, the grateful gift
of the people he had honored and ele-
waited, and when he was carried to his
tomb the city of Lyons declared that his
portrait should be hung in the School OF
| Arts.
