that he finally resolved to try the Old

and succeeded in bagging very fine,
fat, old crow. He went into the
kitchen, and by dint of soft words and
filthy lucre. induced the cook to allow
him to prepare the crow for the table.
He boiled it nicely, and it wasn't such
bad looking dish after all. His
heart misgave him; the tlinty old cuss
would eat it after all. The cook was
Scotch woman and used snuff. He
borrowed all she had and sprinkled it
literally over the crow, gave her an
other simmer, and then taking it on a
salver brought it before his host, say
ing as he set it down, "Now, my dear
sir. you have said thousand times, if
you have said it once, that you can eat
crow. Here is one very carefully
cooked" 1t is said the old man turn
ed pale for moment, but braced him
self against the back Of his chair, and
with Il kin eat crow" he began, cut

it, and then, preparing for second
onslaught, he looked his boarder
straight in the eye, while he CALCULATED

ChaumOnt, the Partisan Lolita.

The reigning favorite in London is
the Cbaumont, the acknowledged
queen of the Palais Royal. If, says an
entertaining correspondent, a compar-
ison had to be made, | should say that
she were a Lolita who had been
brought up in Paris, installed with
the spirit of ''pure cussedness" that
runs riot through cafes chantants,
nodded into artistic shape by the in
genious authors and stage managers Of
this gay capital, and then let loose be-
fore the footlights to work her own
sweet will in the most refined chan
nels of .grossness. Chaumont does
not proceed altogether upon impulses
like the cratic Lolita. She is con-
summate artistic in her province, as
great in her small way as Ristori III
her large one. She has an ugly little
face, figure which would be called
dumpy were it not for the manner in
which it is fitted by her modiste, and.
III short, she owes little Or nothing to
personal attraction, but, given her
charm of expression, and she is the
prettiest homely woman l ever saw.
Chaumont is immensely successful i'll
her songs. Two Of the most popular
are LA Premiere Feuille" and LA
Bonnc AIMEE" Ga Premiere Feu-
ille' was sung in New York by Mrs.
Harold Power, and l have heard Lot
ia sing it in private; but, needless to
say, Nine. Chaumont brings out its
meaning better than those who have
emulated her. Nothing could be more
exquisite than her rendering of this
expressive song, with its refrain Of
A e "Bon jourI bon jourl
JIG suis Ia premiere feuilleI"
She has trick of ending the refrain
with a little chirp and grimace, for
which | can find 10 description SO
good as the word cunning" "La
Bonnie aimee is descriptive Of New
Years Day and its obserYauccs, aau
there is one verse that is decidedly
risky; in fact, it could scarcely be
more so; but Nine. Chaumont has
delightful way Of doing the most
equivocal or rather upequivocal things
i'll the most ingenious manner, and
to the pure all things arc pure. An
other Of the verses, however, can be
enjoyed without an oJ7iere pehSee;
this describes the smouldering indig-
nation of caller Who finds person
whom he had hoped to hear was not

That Bows Hair.

A Michigan doctor has written a
book upon the human hair, in which
he presents some singular ideas re-
garding the color and varities of era
NAL coverings, and discourses OH
straight hair, wavy hair, and kinky
hair in his own peculiar, but instruc-
tive manner. He says: Hairs do not,
as rule penetrate the scalp, perpen-
dicularly, but at an angle. When the
angle of the different hairs is the same
it is possible to give to it the easy
sweeps and curves which we generally
see it take, but if they are by some
freak of nature misplaced, we have the
rebellious frizzle- tops that are not
susceptible of the influence of the
brush and comb. Many a poor mother
has half worried her life out trying to
train Johnny's rebellious locks into
better ways, believing it was Johnny's
perverseness of manners that induced
such dilapidated looking head-gear,
it was really none of Johnny's fault at
all, but simply a freak Of nature i'll

'hirsute covering Sometimes fowls

the feathers-they run the wrong
way. The authors father had hen
whose leg-feathers ran up toward the
body, those on the neck and body to-
ward the head. This gave her per-
petual 'out-of-sorts' look, and she
could never fly. The erection of the
hair of animals during anger OF of hu-
man beings in fright is caused by a
change in the skin and the angle at
which the hair enters the head Oh

counter so much of the same sort of diff

effect Of inhaling nitrous oxide in a Iii.

Among Storm Clouds.

persons who took refuge ono Sunday
evening III little observatory on Look.
out Mountain Point during fearful
storm. Entranccd with The scenery cast
OF the mountain, and part of the time
smut Oil ny tho wooded summit from q
glance at the west, n hidcous storm cloud
h"d gathered unobsclvcG by us, and was
rms hlng It's frightful proportions toward
onr place of refuge. 1T was rolling on
with awful rapidity. We could not re-
trace our footsteps and escape. Our
only hope for shelter was in the obscrva
tory. We entered. Just think of it
Six persons seeking safety from storm
IN n small 10X20 frame house which
stands right on the verge of n precipicc
1000 feet high. Oh, Heaven how
shuddcrcd and shrunk down with horror
when L glanced at the coming tornado
through one window, then crossed the
room to another and looked down, down,
down, through the tops of trees to the
foot of that mighty prccipicc and con-
tcmplatcd being overturned by the
raging elements.
Thunder pcaled terrific blast after
blast, until the hugh rocks beneath us
seemed to Quiver ut the grating sound.
In another moment the cloud swept over
the mountain beyond and the valley be-
meath, then around the brow of Lookout,
below our refuge, like n vast unpcnt
ocean. The forests bowed before it.
The rumbling, crashing, roaring din
sounded like an avalanche of worlds.
For awhile we wcro literally above the
storm, but the clouds Mt length ,,ushed
around the observatory, filling our room
full of dense vapors through broken
window, and death to our entire party
seemed inevitable. The wind howlcd
about us and lashcd our frail refuge with
brush, huge limbs, sticks and Other
things which it hurled up from tho west
side of the mountain. Gale after gal
struck the building, and harder and
harder each dashed, until the cracking
hmbcrs seemed to portcnd our carly
pl'lnging, house and all, two thousand
feet down through the mi ghty, convulscd
ocean of cloud and air.
The fierce, raging storm gradually
ceased, and just ut sunset, though In,
raln still poured, we started down to tn,
city. For half mile along the noun.
tain top we drove through clouds which
seemed to us to be fairly melting into
sheets of water.
