A party of street laborers in San Fran
cisco disconnected the water pipe
through which the engines of public
school were supplied. The engineer no
ticed that the water in the boilers was
getting low, and attempted to let in
more. Not q drop flowed. His hair
stood on end when he realized that in q
few minutes there would be an explo-
sion which would shatter the building
and probably kill half of the great
number of scholars up stairs. Wild
with fright, he dispatched the janitor to
see that the connections were made
again, but he himself stayed at his post
to be the first one to perish in case OF
accident A deep drawn sigh of relief
escaped him when he heard the water
flowing and knew that all danger was
past. A fearful disaster was barely
averted.
The influence of bad teeth in produc-
ing dyspepsia is illustrated by peculiar
incident that comes from the geological
gardens. The attendants were disturbed

some days. The snake, also, appeared
to be in considerable distress. The cat
was liberated by the .'Cesarian sec
tion," chloroform having been duly adj
ministered. Advantage of the oppor-
tunity to study the serpent's mouth was
taken, and several decayed teeth were
found. The best of them were plugged
and the others were pulled. Within a
few weeks the same anaconda swallowed
very old and cross bull dog, and di-
gested him with apparent ease.

Wales Latest Flame,

Oliver Logan writes to The Philadel
phia Times: Il spoke of the prince of
Wales last new fancy. This is Miss
Chappell. the nice OF the well-known
music publisher "a Bond street. She is
indeed beautiful girl and deserving of
happier fate than that of being admir-
ed by the prince l suppose these pref
erences shown to young ladies by his
royal highness are felt to be-and by NJ
one more than the object of them-a
serious social mishap. Good girls like
Miss Chamberlain and Miss Chappell
are in no social danger, for these are
not the days of the merry monarch.
Virtue has rights which even ROYALTY is
bound to respect; nevertheless there is
an odium which will linger when q
woman is known to have been admired
by the prince, and respectable girls, but
particularly their parents, feel this very
keenly. know of a young Scotch girl
who recently came to London on visit
to some relatives, and soon after her ar.
rival she met the prince of Wales at a
ball, where he paid her great deal OF
attention, and the next day sent her q
magnificent bouquet, with his compli-
ments. Her relatives were SO alarmed
at the affair that they sent the girl
straight back by the first train to Scot
land, out of harms way.'

Where it Went To.

When there was show for railroad

and figured prominently in railroad re-

said.

One Mans Exnarienea.

He stood long time gazing into the
window OF our large dry goods stores,
staring at the draperies of new spring
goods, and then boldly marched in, for
he had promised to buy his wife new
dress. He weighed nearly a ton and
felt about as brave as sheep, but he
plucked up his courage and approached
gentlemanly clerk, who was doing up
nothing in package, and asked to look
at the goods. After he had fingered
each piece in dazed, helpless sort of a
way, he asked:
''How much viii need?"
'sThat viii depend upon the number
of yards you require said the clerk,
with icy sarcasm.
..Huml suppose so. L want enough
goods to make dress for my wife-I
mean for-for-my wife only" STAN
mered the luckless shopper.
Il think twenty yards would do"
answered the clerk. measuring the man
before him mentally and wondering If
his wife was off the same piece; .'shall !

said the perspiring buyer. What are
the new shades-have you got any OF
them?"
1--WE have them ALL" said the clerk
with emphasis; ''our senior partner has
just sent us 40, 900 cases crushed straw
berries, molasses and milk, mashed rasp-
berries, squeezed gooseberries, spotted
leopards, mud turtle, bullock's blood,

''Its what?" asked the clerk, as he
reached under the counter for something
to protect himself with.
''The contrasting shade-enraged rat.
'Is there such color?' inquired the
clerk, hoarsely.
Its the very newest-last from Pa
ree."
1--WE havn't got it, moaned the
wretched clerk, and every woman in
town will want it" and he went out and
suicided.
When the shopping husband went
home without the new dress, the domes-

A Threnody.

Three hunters went shooting, out in the West,
Out in the West when the sun was up;
There guns were the finest, and truest and best,
And red as blood was their trusty pup.
They swathed their forms in cardigan suits,
And they cased their feet in big gum boots.
Oh, but the winds of March were keen;
And the waves of Honey Creek were cold;
And the ''bread and meat in the tin canteen
Was gone e'er the morning hour was old;
And the icy waters numbed their legs,
And the BLOOD red pup ate the hard-boiled eggs.
Three hunters came back In the twilight dim,
As the SUE went down in the rosy west;
Their steps were slow, their faces grim,
And a ton OF anguish filed each breast.
And all the shot they had shot SO hard
The dog brought home in his after guard.
