A bad Place for All Sins.

The little town Of Pau has recently been
edited by the trial of one of Its leading
medical men for cheating at cards. 1t was
DR.. Gaye, . man of good family, Municipal
Councillor and knight of the Legion Of
Honor, who, for deceiving his fellow tsvns-
men at . baccarat table, folnd himself
brought up before local magistrate. The
Doctors methods Of "improving fortune"
were three-fold. On taking up good cards
he would surreptitiously increase his origin
81 stake by adding money concealed in the
palm Of the hand, or he would place louis
under silver five-franc piece, and only un-
cover the former when he won. Finally he
had habit of Withdrawing part of his stake
when luck went in favor Of the bank. When
these pranks were first noticed, the Doctors
friends were unwilling to believe that he
could be guilty Of such conduct, and accord
ingly Ewatch was set upon his play. His
systematic swindling was quickly discovered.
He was expelled from the club, and his
name struck of the lists of the Legion Of
Honor. Here the affair would have stopped
but for the Public Prosecutor, vhe summon
ed the Doctor for swindling, an ofiense for
which be has been sentenced to two month";
imprisonment and fine Of fS.

"See the sun rise, Gwendolen!"
Miriam Mahaffy spoke these words in an
ecstacy Of girlish enthusiasm to her elder
sister, as the latter sat lsnguidly on the bed
room floor one soft, sensuous morning In
June, and pulled with stately grace . long
striped stocking over . shapely limb, whose
beautiful contour and firm, white flesh would
have made an anchorite throw mp lis job
without momert's warning.
Thrusting her tiny feet into q pair of dain-
ty slippers, Gwendolen stepped to the win
dow and looked out upon the morning.
els it not beautiful? ?" exclaimed Miriam,
impulsively putting on her corset IS she
spoke. "The golden pencilings of light dart
up from below the horizon, touching the
feecy whiteness Of the ever-changing clouds
with roseate glory beyond compare. See
how in yonder speck Of blue that peeps out
so coyly between the great masses of clouds
that surround 1t on every side, there comes
mezxo-tint of orange here, making beautiful
background to the turquoise bloom of the
picture. Is it not very beautiful, SISTER P"
"Yes," replied GwendoIen, reaching for
the hair brush, +" it reminds me of q lemon
pie on blue plate"
"See, sister" !" continued Miriam, as she did
up her back hair and took her bang from the
"the breath of the morning,
balmy and sweet, Is kissing every flower and
plant into new life. Can anything be more
lovely?"
"Nothing In all the wide, wide world"
replied Gwendolen--" except breakfast"

The Life. OF y Country Editor.
Teas Siftings.

1t is when he comes to write o panegyric
on the stock Of groceries owned and for sale
by one Of his advertising patrons, that the
country editor throws his whole soul into his
work; that he unshackles his fancy and
devastates the whole English language. He
handles his lofty theme with graceful ease
from the moment that he introduces the mer-
chant prince on the scene until, with Cice-
ronean eloquence, and in rounded periods,
he describes the last bottle of imported pick
les on the shelves of "the mammoth estab-
lishnent Of our worthy and honored towns
man." The chief recreation of the country
editor is in correcting and punctuating, with
blue pencil and q pair Of shears, voluntary
communications on Temperance" "The
Uses and Abuses Of the Potato Bug" "En-
silage as Means Of Grace" etc. When he
has controversy going on in his columns
between two rival theologians, 1t Is quite .
holiday time with him, and gives him leisure
to pay off the arrears Of cussing that he
feels he owes the advertising agents who try
to seduce him into inserting ive-inch dis
play advertisement, top of column, next to
reading matter, one year, for $3.50, payable
in wooden type and patent can-openen. The
country editor is usually good fellow, and,
In the spirit Of progress and In all that per-
tains to the advance of modern civilization,
he is generally far ahead of his surroundings.

Senator Davis's Third Downfall.

Washington Corr. Of Baltimore Sun.
President pro tenn. Davis, of the Senate,
had this afternoon his third break down
since he became a member Of that body.
The trouble with the Illinois Senator is that
he forgets an ordinary chair cannot sustain
the 4OO-psund mass of flesh which belongs
to him. He ought to follow the example of
the late Senator Dixon Ii. Lewis, and only
use chairs specially constructed to stand the
strain. Judge DAVIS, who had put another
Senator in the big, strongly-braced chair
which he occupies as presiding officer of lhe
Senate, had been strolling around the cham
Der to stretch his legs, and, passing by the
chair which belongs to Senator Brown, of
Georgia, and is abundantly able to hold his
weight of 125 pounds, he took notion to
rest himself. He sank into the chair and
the chair sank to the floor in broken pieces,
which were strewn ali over the Judge as he
lay sprawling. As he scrambled to his feet
with sense of injured dignity fresh upon
him he saw that Senator Butler, of South
Carolina, who occupied the next seat, was
smiling broadly, and his ear caught the
whisper of some one on the other side styl-
ing him the "Jumbo" of the Senate. He
was SO indignant that he stalked around the
Senate chamber several times, and then, be-
coming little composed, he selected an
other chair after critical inspection and de-
posted himself in it. Senator Butler went
over to him for notifying purposes, but the
judge waved him of and declined to listen
to him. On the last occasion that he burst
through chair Mr.. Conkling, who was then
in the Senate, chuckled audibly, and he
would not take any notice of him for week
after.

At the marriage Of John Russell Young to
Miss Coleman, at Hartford recently, General
Grant was guest, and when the ceremony
was over the company waited for the General
to take precedence in extending congratula-
tions. The General went forward, leading
his pretty little granddaughter, Fred Grants
child, by the hand, and after shaking hands
with the bride, said to his grandchild,
" Won't you kiss the lady? ?" The bride
caught the child in her arms, kissed 1t, and
then looking up, biushingly said, az would
like to kiss the grandfather, too, III dared"
The veteran warrior, who had faced blaz-
ing battery, seemed all at once to become q
trembling coward. He flushed up, looked
sheepish, but conscious that the bride was
peeping At him from behind dropping eye
lids and was waiting for him to say or do
mechanically extended his head,
and the next moment fair face was In his
beard, imprinting kiss upon the line that
marked his mouth. He seemed TO be In q
.remor as he grasped his grandchild's hand
md backed away. All the young gallants
we're surprised at the cowardice Of an old
oldier before pair Of fresh, inviting young
ips.

"a Little Near.n

The people Of Connecticut have always
been famous for being "a little near.n The
parsimsny Of the officials of the tewn of
West Haven, where the body of Jenny Cra-
mer was found, interfered with proper in
vestigation Of her case, and the perpetrators
were thus given time to cover up their tracks.
In present trial, the court has no short hand
writer, and in consequence the time ID
wasted and the trial prolonged by the law
yers, who slowly and painfully examine the
witnesses, making them stop until they can
write down the answers. There being no
record to refer to, the lawyers wrangle and
fight and delay the trial, about what the w.t.
nesses have said. Then for the want Of 4
diagram which would have cost . few cents
they worried and snarled at . witness. the
waiter In restaurant where Jennie Cramer
was last seen, which might ali have been
avoided By aplan Of the premises. Connsc-
ticut iurisprudence seems to Be about nfty
yeas behind the age.

Tho Appreciative Australians.

Camilla Urso, the violinist, in q recent
conversation in Chicago, gave an account Of
some of her Australian experiences. She
said: "a more thoroughly musical, refined
and intelligent people have never seen, and
my sojeurn in Australia was an extremely
pleasant one, We heard afterward that the
one cause of our failure the first week was
that we had but two prices. Caste is as
marked there as in England. The merchant
will not condescend to sit in the parquette IL
his clark Is there, and the foreman of =
carpenter shop would not sit alongside of one
Of his assistants. So they are anything bu.
democratic. But in their treatment of
artists, especially Of foreigners, they are
very kind, and show delicacy which is pc
culiar to them. A bouquet is handed to the
performer, not by the usher, as in America,
but by the donor. An elegantly dressed
lady, the wife or daughter of the Governor,
for instance, will rise and walk to the stage
and make her present with the grace and
dignity Of q princess, amid the 'bravos' Of
the audience"

THE LITTLE GRAVE.
rLoy, IN LEXINGTON PRESS.

'Its only little grave" they said,
"Only Just q child that's dead"
And so they carelessly turned away
From the mound the spades had made that
day.
All they did not know how deep shade
That little grave in the home had made.
/ know the coffin was narlSw and small;
One yard would have served for an ample
pail
And one man In his arms could have borne
away
The rosewood and its freight Of clay;
But knew that darling hopes were hid
Beneath that little coffin lid.
know that the mother stood that day
With folded hands by that form of clay;
know that burning tears were hid
Meath the dropping lash and aching lid;
And knew her lips, and cheek, and brow
Were almost as white rs the baby's nov.
/ know that some things were hid away;
The crimson frock, and wrappings gay;
The little sock and halEworn shoe,
The cap with plumes and tasseIs blue;
An empty crib, with its covers spread
As white rs the face Of the sinless desd.
IT'S little grave, but oh, have careI
For world vide hopes are buried there.
And you, perhaps, in coming years,
May see like her, through binding tears,
How much Of light, how much ofjoy,
Il buried up with an only boy.

Sweetness Too Long Drawn Out.
Neo York Sun.


At an evening party in Kelkheim, In Ger
many, few weeks ago, the question arose
how many kisses could be exchanged be-
tween two lovers within a certain space OF
time. Ayouth offered to bet anybody present
$50 that he and his betrothed would kiss one
another ten thousand times within ten hours,
provided they were permitted to partake of
some slight refreshment at inte rvals of half
an hour during the performance. His wager
having been accepted, the afIianced couple
addressed themselves to the achievement Of
the task. At the expiration Of the first hour
their account stood accredited with two
thousand kisses. During the second they
added another thousand, and during the
third seven hundred and fifty to that num-
Der. Then they both broke down. The
youths lips werestricken with crsmp and the
maiden tainted away. Later in the evening
she was compelled to take to her bed with
a sharp attack Of neuralgia. An even more
result ensued, for it led to the
breaking of, by mutual consent, Of the mat
rimonial engagement.

FASHIONS IN THE CAMERA.
Who Have Their Hands
Photographed as Gifts to Friends.
PHILADELPHIA Record

Philadelphia Record.
The latest kink among fashionable bellies
In Philadelphia Is to have their hands pho
tographed as a gift to their gentleman
friends. The fashion, which came from
London, has not as yet become . craze here,
but 1t Is growing and promises to become
epidemic. The popular idea Is to have the
hand photographed against background of
heavy fur. Such photographs are generally
taken In pairs, showing the back, with full
ornament of rings and diamonds, and sup
plemented with photograph of the palm.
As yet only the ultra fashionable people are
given to this new idea, but most all of our
artistic photographers are doing some busi-
ness In the way of hand photographing. Oc-
casionally q pair Of spooney lovers want
their hands photographed in clasp. The
photographer generally has trouble with this
sort of customers, from the fact that the
young lady is disposed to be bashful and the
young man does not help the matter any
when he processes to help her stand firm by
holding hard on her other hand behind the
screen. These clasped hand photographs are
now more highly priced by our fashionable
young men than a cabinet-size false present.
ment of either their lady friends full face or
profile. Fashionable ladies are not content
with. being photographed in one costume.
They 60 to the photograph gallery whenever
they buy a new dress or a new hat, and a
fashionable Arch street photographer says
that 1t is not an unusual thing for him to
take forty photographs of one lady in sea-
son, with q different costume every time. |
Many of them insist on being photographed |
in several different poses with the same cos
tune, and they not infrequently have historic |
made in which to have photographs |
taken, with the same pose in which the char
acter they propose to represent is painted in
some famous picture. At present the most
fashionable character is "Mary, Queen of
Scots" but photographs Of well-known
bellies can be seen in fashionable photogra-
piers parlors taken as Galatea," "statuesque

1t was not in McFadden's drug store that
ayoung and sprightly school teacher last
week addressed the clerk:
81 would like sponge BATH
"Ah, oh, a-will you please repeat I did
not quite understand you ?" stammered the
clerk.
u would like good sponge bath" again
demanded the customer, while . pair Of
sharp gray eyes, beaming with wonder and
impatience, made him tremble.
More dead than alive he managed to tsll
his fair visitor his inability to catch her
meaning.
"Well, ! never! II this ain't queer!
think speak intelligibly enough. I-want
-you-to-give--me--a-good--spones-

"Shs wants bath sponge"

late! A gentleman raised his hat 70 har.

Twenty-six Costly Cigars.
Ne,r Hdusn Palladium.

Two weeks ago two lawyers Of this city
were sitting together and smoking, when the
tobacco habit became the subject of conver.
sation and proposal to stop for stated
time was made. They finally entered into
an agreement whereby neither was to smoke
for two weeks, with the understanding that
should one break over he was to forfeit to
the other certain number Of cigars for ey-
cry smoke on the basis Of geometrical pro-
gression--two for the first smoke, four for
the second, eight for the third, and SO on.
The two weeks expired yesterday. One OF
the parties TO the bargain had smoked none,
but the other had been unable to limit him
self 10 less than twenty-six cigars. Calcu-
lating the cost Of cigars It $50 per thousand,
the cash forfeit d but few cents short Of
