Why She Bounced Him.

In a recent interview as to her separation from
NJ. Damaia, to whom she was legally married,
as it will be remembered, not very long ago,
Sarah Bernhardt said:
''We separated because no longer wished to
pay for his foolish extravaganza, carriages,
bouquets, forfeits, &c. My coaches were never
handsome enough. My coupe did not suffice.
In the first weeks of our marriage had to buy
tor him q victoria with two horses and superb
harness to ride in the Bois du BoulOgne. You
may imagine that we had violent scenes
One day after one OF these scenes was seized
with terrible rage and ran out Of the house

refuge at my aunt's. It was in consequence Of
this occurrence that N. Damaa accepted an en-

that he could leave for Tunis. Before departing
he bought q complete outfit for which paid tor
the poor volunteer. Only the poor volunteer
never took part In any active service. But that's
not all. n. Damala wanted to be theatrical
manager. Ihave still to suffer the consequences
and am pnrsued and prosecuted for the greater
glory Of my husband. M. Besson may amuse
himself In trying TO find out If am really mar

going to be caught like that again"

Chinese Filtration.


That the Chinese are not wanting in galantry
or in the art of repartee was clearly demonstra-
ted by young mandarin, an attache to the
Chinese embassy in Paris. in conversation
with beautiful and elegant woman who had
him introduced to her one evening at a fashion,
able reunion. Curious to know whether it was
worth any ones while to attempt little fir
tatiOn with this son Of the Celestial empire. she
asked him. among other things. what qualities
MS countrymen valued most in woman. ''Her do
mestic virtues" was the reply. "Oh. indeed!"
said said the lady. in slightly contemptuous tone.

Loves Coming.

She had looked for hts coming as warriors coma.
With the clash OF arms and the bugleS call:
But he came instead with q stealthy tread,
Which she did not hear at all
She had thought how his armor would blaze In the
sun,
As he rode like prince to claim his bride;
In the sweet dim light OF the falling night
She found him at her side.
She had dreamed how the gaze OF his strange, bold
eye
Would wake her heart to sudden glow;
She found In his face the familiar grace
OF friend she used to know.
She had dreamed how his coming would stir her
soul,
As the ocean is stirred by the wild storms strife:
he brought her the balm OF a heavenly calm,
And peace which crowned her life

A story is told by Toledo. Ohio, preacher on
q brother minister that will bear repeating.
Recently circus was In the city, and the min
isterial curiosity was SO awakened that an out
side view Of the stretch Of canvas would not
suffice. The minister had compunctions OF con-
science against the qualification of what he
fancied might be . questionable desire. How
ever his liberality Of belief would permit Of the
children going and Of their seeing all that could
be seen. provided they had some good sized
masculine protector with them. But, unfOrtu-
nately for him, he had do children and was
therefore, to use an orthodox expression, ''in .
hole" Finally he hit upon plan. He went to
fve-year-old boy as q companion to the circus
But it wouldn't work. the preacher remarking,

Rough On the Parson.
From the Modern Argo.

Rev. Dr. s., who happens to possess
rather ford complexion, recently went into the
shop of barber-one Of his parishioners-to be
shaved. The barber was addicted to an occa-
sional spree, after which his hand was apt to be
somewhat unsteady. In shaving the minister
on the occasion referred to he made q slit and
brought the blood to the surface in considera-
Die quantity. The minister turned to the man
and brother and said In tone of solemn sever
ity: "You see, Jackson. what comes from TAX
ing too much drink" Yes sah." replied Jack
son. ut makes do skin very tsndah, sab. It do
