from tile ground. Stepping iauntily
on to the rope, dressed as a French
chief, and carrying his stove and cook
ing utensils. Blondin approached the
centre of the rope. and adroitly balanc-
ing his stove he managed by a side move
ment TO plant the feet of his stove on
the light iron cardle pendant from the
rope. Discarding his balance pole
Blondin stood In front of his kitchen
range and, amidst hearty laughter, pro-
eeeded with by-plays over this part of
his performance, creating great amuse-
ment. He preserved in some mysteri-
Gus manner his undertaking balance,
and coolly beating up his eggs added
the necessary condiments, blew up his
fire and, finally, whilst his omelette
cooked, opened a pint Of champagne
and drank the health Of his patrons.
A good story ZONES from an Anglo
Indian legion. A sub-lieutenant took
sick leave. and spent his leisure in the
steps preliminary to getting married.
The colonel heard Of the indiscretion,
and peremptorily telegraphed, "Join ut
Once. With the fatal order in his
hand, The youth proceeded to say fare
well I'd his betrothed. But the lady
was more intelligentin military matters.
az ara glad that the colonel approves
the match, she saii,ii, but why is hiis ia
such a hurry?" The sub-lieutenant was
still Zoo literal for the fair one, who had
further to explain that to "join at once"
meant marry Immediately" The re-
suit wast hat in forty-eight hours the
colonel received the following reply per
telegraph: Your orders are obeyed.
We were married at once."-Glasgow

One of the most remarkable achieve
ments Of the time is the subscription of
$25, 900, 900 by the people Of Manches-
ter, England, in one day, to build a ship
canal to Liverpool making their great
city accessible to ocean steamships.
The bill for the project passed its sec
ond reading in the House of Commons,
and there can be no doubt hat the en-
terprise will be successful. For more
than half o century it has been the sub
ject of discussion but the sagacious bust
ness men Of Manchester have now un-
dertaken the work with an earnestness
which banishes all skepticism as to the
result.
Something like 1000 comets are sup
posed to have been seen since records
began, the greater number of which
were invisible without a telescope. OF
these, 285 have had their orbits deter.
mined. Prof. r. I'll. Tucker, Jr., Of Le-
high University, studying these, finds
indications Chat more comets come in
from the hemisphere from which the
sun is moving than from that toward
which it is moying-that is, more turn
and follow after than fly to meet their
solar chief. This is explained by the
statement that by the time.comets at q
great distance have yielded to the at
traction, not strongly felt until the sun
is directly opposite them, the sun
passed on and they can only fall into his
train.
Fifteen Massachusetts maidens have
announced their determination 20 under
take a tramp Of three hundred miles
through the Adirondacks this summer
If they succeed, their reward will be
brighter eyes, roster cheeks and brawn-
Ter forms than were ever dreamed of in
their philosophy. The western girls
are not far behind their eastern sisters
in the race for muscle. Several St.
Louis bellies have organized a boxing
club, and their tiny fsts. backed by well
developed muscles, will soon acquire
the noble art Of self defence and render
their fair owners equally expert in
abruising heads as they are in breaking
hearts.
