Ladies as Billiard Player..
From the Pittsburg Chronicle.

From the Pttsburg Chronicle.
II saw in some eastern paper this morning {"
said the agent of large billiard mandatory
yesterday, THAT ladies could never learn to play
billiards any better than they could to play base
ball Now, l don't think that is just to the
slades at ALL"
Why Do they ever make good players?" in
quired the reporter.
"We I'll tell you. lady hasn't the chance
man has to go into billiard-hall and learn by
watching good players, and on that account
cannot learn by herself. She must have a teacher.
II she has teacher and learns to make a single
shot. she becomes interested and aims To learn
more. exactly like her sister who Is learning to
play the piano and who can play one tune"
We'll. do they ever make as good players as
menu"
Those who have teacher whom they can
watch, and have the chance to practice, do in
deed. They can manage the balls much better
than man. because they have more delicate
touch. Why, have an aunt who has beaten
every man she ever played She can play much
better than can. and consider myself above
the average. Then there is Mrs. Buznger. of
Chicago, who travels with her husband. and
gives exhibitions OF her exquisite PLAYING. I
could name you any number of ladies in this
city who play good games but they wouldn't
like It,.
Say" continued the gentleman, as the re-
porter turned to leave. ''did you ever think of
the distance man travels when he PLAYS game
of billiards? have watched all kinds of men
play, and have found some who walk q mile
In single game. The average is about quar-
ter OF mile to game, 80 that an average
player who plays 10 games during an evening
walks two miles and half before he gets
through. They don't seem to feel It. either.
Why, have seen men who are on the street all
day, start to play game Of billiards because 1t
didn't require much use OF their tired muscles
and then walk from to 10 miles during the
evening""

The Whole History of Nsan.

1t is told of Dabshelim the king. that his
library was so large it required a hundred
brachmans to care for it and a thousand dr0me-
DIARIES to transport it, He ordered all useless
matter weeded out, and after thirty years
labor it was reduced to the carrying capacity of
thirty camels.
Still appalled, by the number Of volumes, he
ordered 1t condensed to a single drOmedary load
and when the task was completed age had crept
upon him and death awaitedhim. Then Bidpay
offered to compress the whole into q minutes
reading. He wrote:
l. The greater part Of science consists Of but
single word-perhaps; the whole history Of
man contains but three-born. suffered, died.

He Forgot to Ask.

FROM the New Haven NswS,
good story was told at the Scovi]le house in
Waterbury yesterday, during the settlement of
number OF election bets. During the Polk
campaign much interest was taken in Water
bury in the result. and party strife ran high be-
tween wings and democrats. Waterbury was
only little village at that time and it had no
railway communications. 1t was also before
the days of the telegraph. and number of poll
tlcians made up purse and hired Col. Richard
Welton proprietor of the New Haven stage line.
to make special trip to New Haven and get
the returns.
The crowd waited anxiously on the tavern
steps all through the afternoon of the day Of
Col. Welton's trip, and when he came in sight
with horses smoking from their long drive, he
stood up in his wagon and called to the expec-
tant crowd:
"New York's gone 5000"
For whOm!" arose on every side
The colonel jumped from his wagon hesltated
a moment. scratched his head and then blurted
out: well swan, forgot to ask"
The feelings OF the politicians can be better
Imagined than described.

Donkey fell into deep hole and, after

and implored the stranger to help him out.
II am too small to aid you," said the Fox,
but will give you some good advice. Only a
few rods away ia big, strong elephant. Call
to him and he viii get you ont IN iiffy."
After the Fox had gone the Donkey thus rea-
soned with himself: II am very weak tor want
OF nourishnent. Every move make is Just so
much additional loss Of strength. II / raise
my voice to call the elephant shall be weaker
yet. NO, will not waste my substance thai
way IL is the duty Of the elephant to come
without calling"
so the Donkey seated himself back and event
uaily starved to DEATH
Long afterward the Fox on passing the hole
saw within it whitening skeleton, and re-
marked: "lf 1t be true that the souls of animals
are transmigrated into men, that Donkey will

From the Phiiad-lphis Times.
The divorce suit Of Harrison versus Harrison
and Page. which was continued through Friday
and Saturday in London is exciting almost as
much interest as the famous Hughes scandal
has created in Paris for week past And
among the items arOusing considerable curios-
ity are four hundred and fifty empty Choral
bottles found in Mrs HarrIson's apartments
since the suit began.
When the present Mfs Harrison was a poor
girl OF eleven years Mr.. Harrison then, as now,
q millionaire merchant. met her. sent her to
school. and. when she had reached the age of
eighteen. married her. Marriage did not go
well. Mrs. Harrison took to Choral and then
charged that Dr. Page. her physician was the
father of her child. The doctor had prescribed
choral. But Harrison knew nothing about it
till he sued for divorce. and then the Choral
bottles almost took his senses away as they had
previously acted On his wife.
1t is understood that choral is not healthful
as beverage. and when women resort to it at
the rate of four hundred and fifty bottles on the
sly it is no wonder they accuse their doctors OF
strange proceedings OF that their husbands seek
divorce. 1t is pity that what with her freshly
acquired education and wealth Mrs. Harrison
could not get Some peace without resortng to
choral But it is gradually getting to be under
stood that choral drugs plus any amount of de-
centiOn cannot keep up the peace and honor of
family and this case appears to imply that the
greater the number of bottles the more certain
the cataSlrOphy.
