A BuRGLARs,s DARING WORK.
Stealing Property While the Owner LookcA
On-.t Woman's Fright.

1t is not a pleasant thing for woman
to awaken in the night and see masked
burglar standing over her with pistol in
his hand. Yet such mn occurrence happen
ed to Miss Mary Scotch, of Springwells.
Miss Scotch ia a lady well known in Detroit
and she il the one woman who did not, up
to the time mentioned, believe in either
ghosts or burglars. So much faith had the
lady in her kind that she failed to use the
burglar chain across her own door, and re
tired to rest without misgiying. TO IL
representative of this paper she said
81 never for a moment had thought of
burglars getting into the house, and when
awakened and heard the chain of the door
rattle ! supposed il was mouse then |
heard board creak, but thought that was
the servants But in moment man
with white handkerchief tied oyer the lower
portion of his face stood in the room with
bit of lighted candle in one hand and pis-
toll In the other He pointed the pistol at
my head and said, II you move, I'll blow
your head off ? didn't move"
DWhat were your sensations at that mo
nent, Miss Scotch 7"
~ had none think must have been
partially stunned. The man repeated the
same threat over to me, and as his eye
caught the basket of silver on the chair, he
snatched it up and hurried out. Then ]
sprang from the bed and shut the door,
while screamed loud enough to awaken the
whole house. My brother opened the door,
and called to him not to come out-that
there were three armed burglars in the
house and they had taken the silverf"
"And did he try to stop themf"
No; he said, Let them have it; they
are welcome TO it. hope they'll get IL all
and leave us in peace"
Miss Scotch expresses herself in kindly,
Christian words about the men who take
their own lives in their hands rather than
work and earn an honest living, but it is
safe to say that the good lady will never for
get the midnight intruder, nor the menacine
pistol he leyeled at her. - Detroit Free Press.

TIVE ART OF EATING.
How Two Young Women Disposed Differ
emily Of seven Oysters Each,

Fried oysters are sore trial to the ethe-
rial girl who sits down to them with her adj
mirer after late theatrical performance. 1t
has been five or six hours since dinner and
she is as hungry as q bear that has lived on
his paws all winter. But big appetite is
disenchanting in maiden. There is risk
in tho matter that no skill can wholly elm
mate The best rule is to put on an express
sion of very mild disdain at each mouthful,
as though you took it under protest Don't
overdo this and look as though sickened,
but just elevate the brows trihe, smile

err after IT,
watched slender, graceful angel-faced
creature in fashionable oyster-house the
other night and saw that by neglecting her
department she was shocking the fellow
across the table. Perhaps she didn't care
whether he adored her or not. Anyhow,
she was putting the oysters into her mouth
by hnsves, chewing them with undisguised
gusto, swallowing plenty of bread and cut
cabbage along with them, and taking no
pains whatever to disguise the fact that she
was enjoying them nightly.
Al the next table sat a thicker md older
woman, who praeticed the art Of oyster eat
ing as haye indicated it. Her facial ex-
pression was clever She slipped in the
food in big pieces when her escort wasn't
looking and nibbled them when he was look
ing. She got away with hearty meal with
out appearing TO have taken anything to
speak of, and it was only the empty plates
that revealed the fact. She was not less
skillful in drinking her half of quart of
champagne. The glass was lifted to her
lips like the hand of queen to kiss; her
mouth shut over barely an inch of the brim
there was no stopping orgurgling; the wine
trickled neatly down her throat, but with
quite sufficient celebrity. --Ne'o York letter ia

MASTER OF THE SITUATION.
How Sentinel Made His Commanding
Officer g Mark Time.s

Ex-Governor Wise, who had been made q
brigadier general by President Davis, arrived
at this time in Staunton, en- roate for the
kenawha Valley His arrival was the remote
cause of very ludricous incident which
came very near opening our campaign with
an unpleasant tragedy. lieutenant Colonel
Crenshaw, who had gone with me to pay
our respects to Governor Wise ON the even
ing of bis arrival, invited his staff surgeon,
DIR. Peter Lyons, to accompany us to our
camp with promise of sardines, cigars and
other comforts with which he was provided.
We reached camp about nine O'Clock, and
were halted by the first sentinel we ap-
preached, who ordered one of us to advance
and give the countersign. Unfortunately,
although having the envelope containing the
countersign, which had been banded us BIZ
the adjutant we had not opened it and il
was too dark to read it then. We replied -
Commanding officer without the counter.

ed against the indignity to which he contem-
plated subjected his field officers in the pres
ence of stranger as well as against the ex-
ercise involved in the execution of his COM
mand on hot summer night but he was
iniexible. Mark time I" he replied, "or
will certainly shoot you," and suiting the
action of the word, cooked his musket and
leveled it at us. We tried threats but he
was unreasonable; he knew nothing and
would neither permit MS to advance or retire,
insisting upon "doing his duty" which was
to shoot us if we did not "mark time"
He was master of the situation, and AS we
looked down the musket barrel We "marked
time" until the perspiration rolled from our
foreheads. We were relieved by the ser.
geant of the guard, who relieved the senti-
mel, but not until we had whetted our appe-
tites for the expected repast by abundant
exercise. supposed the man was a lunatic

AQuAKER,s SUCCESSFUL RUsE.
saved from Scnlping-Knises by n Set Of
False Teeth.


Some time ago Philadelphia Quaker, be-
longing to an Indian delegation, was cross
ing wide plnin in a hostile country. The
driver of the ambulance called his attention
to four Indians on horseback, who coon sur
rounded the vehicle. A young brave made
unmistakable demonstrations of hostility.
The interpreter told them they were peace
men and medicine men. He replied that
they must prove themselves medicine men
of peace men they had enough already to
steal their land and have soldiers kill them.
"Be quick" said he; I" show us some
wonderful medicine work, or we will kill
you," putting action TO the wordsb handling
their rifles and tomahawks.
Here was dilemma pointing to the old
eat one, a fine-lookng quaker six-feet in his
stockings, with white hair, who had been the
first talker Of the party, he furiously ges-
ticulated and cried ont:
Medicine man show Medicine man
show !"
An inspiration seized him. He had
double set of false teeth on plates Of flesh
colored material, and pointing to his teeth
with his finger and then tapping them with
much grimace and correctness, ho motioned
for all tho braves to come in sight, and when
all were intent upon him he deliberately
took out first the upper set and then the
lower set of the teeth and made motion
toward his neck as If about to separate his
head from il, when the braves wheeled then
horses and rode furiously away, and the
party of peacemakers turned their horses
heads and ambulance FORWARD, rejoiced
ct their strategical deliyerance. --Osica9t

A sTRAssBuRoH BEER GARDEN.

Doing as the AlsatIans do, resorted one

where the highly esteemed Strassburg beer
is dispensed, and where, if one wishes it.,
the wines of France or Germany may be or

GOLD PENCILS AND PENS.
How They Are made and by Whom They
Are Used.

An important branch of the jewelry bust
ness in the city is the manufacture of PEN
ellis and pencil cases. The largest interest of
the kind in the country is in this city. More
than a half million pencils are manufactured
every year. These are the pencils that are
made Of gold or rolled plate, with various
devices for propelling the lead-holder from
its case and for returning il to it. The PEN
ellis are made in about one hundred and fifty
styles and vary from two dollars per dozen
to twenty-five dollars and more. From the
increase in appliances for writer's 1t would
appear that tho gold pencil would be in less
demand, but such is not the case. Gold
pencils are practically useless for hard labor
and are not employed, but for light scratch
ing, for ladies' memoranda, they are con-
venient and'elegnnt Accomplishments. Some
ara provided with rings at the end, that the
owner may be tied to them like the boy to
the mittens. Few sterling gold pencils are
made. Tho rolled plate answers its purpose
as the paste diamond serves its purpose.
Gold pens are made here and are in OK
tensive use. Pens are made of pure metal
Metals of the baser sort will not serve the pur-
pose. The careful writer finds economy in
gold pen, but the careless scribbler deserves
nothing better than steel point. There
are men who have used one pen, with point
perhaps renewed several times, for five or
more years. The stylographic pen has como

too much to do to go into the shading and

JUDGE BLArcHroRp's ALMANAcs. --Judg.
Blatchford is known to all the secondhand
book stall keepers and junk dealers in New
York, not as the richesta and most Industrious
Judge on any bench, but as the man who
collects old almanacs. This whimsical pur-
suit is almost mania with Judge Blatch-
ford. From the stateliest nautical almanacs
down to the humblest patent medicine an
nual, nothing with the signs of the zodiac
and the phases of the moon is foreign to his
tastes. When he was practicing at the Bar
he was largely concerned with admiralty
cases, and series of almanacs is part of the
library equipment of every admiralty lawyer.
This was the origin of his specially. He has
now on hand the largest and most varied
lot of old almanacs in the country, if not in
the world He ransacked Nassau and Ann
streets for years with such industry thatit is
rare thing for him to find an almanac o,
calendar not already in his collection. IN

MONEY AND MUSIC.

Speaking of the projected Grand Opera
House in this City the New York cores
pondent of the Buffalo Courier says When
the project was formed, and Mapleson, the
gallant commander of Her Majesty's &C.,
was told of 1t, he laughed sardonically at the
idea of building magnificent opera house
in New York for 100000. "Tell 'em,
said he, "that it will cost three times that,
and they won't have much of an opera
house then.n The valiant Colonel seems to
have been about right. But It is q question
IL any musical enterprise on o large scale
could he made to pay. The experiments
thus far tried certainly are not encouraging.
Music and business principles do not seem
to harIaonize ut all. 1t is not easy to forget
the result of tho efforts of Theodore Thomas
some years ago to put what is called good
music on paying basis. 1t was simply
dismal failure. Gilmore afterwards did
pretty well for while at bis big garden
but that had to be given up, too. The
Casino at Broadway and Forty-first street
opened with grand flourish of trumpets,
but 1t paid only for q season or so, had to
be turned into theatre, and is now closed.
Another place of the same kind is now going
up, andstrauss is coming over to take charge
of it, but there are plenty of prophets pre-
dieting it will prove another fizzle. The
fiascos of both Thomas and Maretzek in
Cincinnati show that the trouble about music
Is not confined to New York. The kind OF
noise that the big musicians call music does
not seem to take firm hold on the public
anywhere A good deal more than half of
mankind would rather run away from 1t
than stay within hearing distance, not to
speak of paying for the purgatorial privi-
