THE HARLEM TRAMP.
He Entertains the Barkeeper With
Some Original sayings.

it looks like blooming hospitality. But
it would greatly add to my present hos
pitality if l had a little of the stuff that
breaks up homes"
Il suppose" remarked the barkeeper,
"that l must treat, but what a fool a man
is to put that in bis mouth that steals
away his brains,N
"Oh, let up on that stuff" growled the
tramp. "YOu never could put anything
in your mouth to steal away your brains.
Just shut off the morality lecture and
produce the Oldsstutf."
The barkeeper did. With all his faults
he was good natured, and he admired the
nerve of the tramp. When the tramp had
disposed Of the poison, he said:
''ltmakes me tired to hear a lot of moral
sayings: Man is known by the company
he keeps "a soft answer turneth away
wrath and hundreds of other chestnuts.
Why don't they get some new s%ayings?'
"Where can they get 'em?" asked the
barkeeper.
"Why let 'em go to a philosopher and
nave 'em written; what's the matter with
that? While on the road | wrote a lot my
self. Talk about proverbs and old say
ings, you ought to hear NINE"
"Let's hear 'em,o said the barkeeper.
For nothing?" said the tramp indig-
nantiy. 'NOt much. just proceed to wet
the interior of the philosopher with an
other dose of insanity"
"These things l have written" said the
tramp, ''may not be put in choice lam
guage. They are the spontaneous out
pourings of a heart that bleeds for hu-
manitv. Every one of them is a gem, and
deserves a place in history. l make no
claims of being educated, but there are no

''You will have to go into the forward
coach" said the conductor, as he tore OFT
acoupOn from a s~econd-class ticket. "But
the tobacco smoke is so bad and l have

timidly, and the pale face was raised
pleadingly. Can't help it, ma'am. Rules

he had her nicely tucked away before she

A Wise Connecticut Cat.

A6tC HOC6W AtgtSteTs
A lady in Norwich concluded that her
three cats were more thar the household
needed, and passed an edict of death on
two of them-an old cat and her kitten.
The question of the n of death was
settled and the chlorOfOrm was purchased.
Days passed after the chlOroform was in
the house before the eXecutioner could
muster courage to execute the sentence.
To facilitate matters the lady thought that
some laudanum added to the cats milk
would produce a stupor that would make
chIoroformlng more easy. The drug was
put in the milk and rendered the old cat.
She tasted the food, cast her eyes sus-
pieiously about her, and refused to eat.
The kitten rushed to the dish to partake
of the milk and was violently knocked
away by the old cat, who took a corner OF
a mat and covered over the dish to hide 1t
from the kitten and prevent 1t from TAX
ing the 'Emedicine." The lady could not
believe it possible that the act was 1nten-
tional on the part of the cat. and uncoy-
cred the dish and again rendered the milk
to her. She again knocked the kitten from
the dish and covered it over more CAREFUL
" than before. This repetition of the pro-
tective act gained the good will OF the
lady, and she gave UP killing the cats.

MOUNT ATHOS.
4 Town Where No Birth or Marriage
Ever TAX s Place.

"Haggion Oros," the holy mountain of
all who profess the Greek faith, occupies
a most commanding position on the west
ern shore of the -Egean Sea. Rising
abruptly from the water to a height of
5000 feet, at the extremity of a long, mar
row peninsula, it seems to be keeping
watch and ward oven the sea path to and
from SalOnica and the approach to the
D~ardanelles, much as Gibraltar does over
the straits leading to the Mediterranean.
The peninsula is about 40 miles long
and has ar average breadth of six. 1t is
connected with the great Chalcedodian
peninsula by a narrow neck of sand,
through which the Persian monarch Xer-
Xes cut a canal for vessels of light
~draught, vestiges of which yet remain.
Beside "HaggiOn Oros" is Mount AthOs.
Even before the days of Christianity
Mount AthOs had its recluses, for the
solemn grandeur Of the great bare peak
and the weird aspects Of its surroundings
are we'll calculated to harmonic with
minds given up to wild and mystic
thoughts. The new doctrines gave a great
impulse to this desire to withdraw from
the world, and in the course Of time the
whole peninsula anne to be occupied by
Greek monks, who, under the Byzantine
EmperOrs, enjoyed the privilege Of gov
erning themselves and their possessions
without the interference of any secular
control whatever. There was thus formed
a sort of ecclesiastical autonomy that
has endured to the present day. The only
indication of Turkish authority in Mount
Atkos is the presence of a ''calmakam,"
who, however, enjoys not the slightest
power, his functions being limited to that
of a mere observer. This official has two
"zaptiehs" (gendarmes) under his orders,
but they are more to do honor to his posi-
ton than to represent any force at his
command, the community having its own
police in the shape of a body of stout AL
bantam guards. The administration is
carried on by a council Of representatives,
presided over by one OF their number, who
is termed 'PrOteros," or "the first man of
Athos." This Office is held by each of the
members of the council in succession for
a period of three months. The months
follow the rule of Basilius. No woman is
allowed, on any p%retence whatever, to set
foot III the district. The prohibition eX-
tends even to female creatures of every
kind, so that not a hen, COW, she goat, or
any other animal capable of giving
birth to it's kind is to be found at Mount
Athos. There is but one village, where a
fluctuatiDg body of seculars reside, who
assist the monks in their agricultural and
other labors. 1t is the only place in the
world resembling a town in which no mar
riage or birth ever takes place.

While i don't for a moment excuse in
the very least the most unmaidenly be-
haviOr of Miss Chamberlain in running
about as she did after the Prince in pub
lie, or her parents in permitting it, 1 must
say-and so will most menu take It-that
his treatment of her, after encouraging
her and filrt ne with her in the way he
did, for months and months, was utterly
disgusting. Seated next to her at supper
at a ball at MentOne she said, in the
merest fun: HJumbO you eat too much."
But that was enough. Only the moment
before on terms of that familiar intimacy
which any man might be glad to
be with a young and pretty girl,
he turned his shoulder to her without
reply, and from that momeHt,sO far as he
was concerned, the famous Miss Cham
berlain was incontinently dropped"
After that, Of course, there wasn't any
thing left but for her father and mother to
take her home. Whether she has gone or
rot 1 don't really know. At all events,
she might he, for one never hears OF sees
any mention of her whatever. 1t is a
shame that any one man should have such
power, and a greater shame tkathe should
so bOOrishly exercise it.
Here is another instance of the Princes
silly huftiness with women for the merest
tribes. The other night he was talking
TO Lady ROmney at a ball.
81 hear, Lady Romney," he said, Fsthat
Lord Romney has a nickname. What is
it,"
Instead of replying, Lady Romney said /:
t'Sir"-eyery n addresses the Prince,
Sir-"Sir, L hear that you are called
'Tummy.' Is il true!"
Without a word, he turned with a scowI
q walked away, needless of the atten-
ton his rude behavior attracted to her.
He really had only himself to blame. for
he had no right to speak Of a husband to
his wife in a way that he would not allow
himself to be spoken to by the wife. Lady
Romney is to be cOmplimented for her
spirit. 1t is a comfort, too, to think that
in Lady Dudley there is a woman in Eng
land brave enough to turn her back upon
him, and refuse TO speak to him when she
meets him. As for Mrs. Cayley, sne
avoids him as she would a cobra.

Didn't Know What it Was.

ITO illustrate how ignorant people are
Of the appearance even of government
bonds let me tell you of an instance.
About ten years ago an industrious Irish
woman attended an auction sale of second
hand furniture in this city with a view
OF increasing her slender household outfit
by purchasing some much needed articles.
She was very much pleased with al old
fashioned bookcase which she bought,
intending to use it as a safe place in
which to keep her best dishes out of the
reach of her numerous brood of children
and a promising young collection Of
poultry that were joint occupants of her
kitchen and very destructive of break
ables by fluttering among her cr0ckery
whenever anything eatable was visible.
In examining her new purchase b found
behind a drawer an envelope containing
five papers of a greenish color with
figures on them. They were pretty, she
thought, and she gave them to little Mike
and Biddy to play with. A few days
after this the priest came to call on her
and saw these papers. why, Mrs.
MalOney,' said he, do you see what your
children have got hold Off Sure, an |
do she said tits only some paper 1
found in me new cupboard and gave to
the children to play WITH what said
Father -. She hen told him the story
Of her purchase. Mrs. MalOney,' said
the good priest, those pictures are each
worth SI,OOOr He then went to the auc-
tiOneer, and without telling him anything
of the find, e%ndeayOred to find where the
old bookcase came from. 1t was one of
several lots Of old furniture bought some
years ago, and they were not able to tell
lust where that particular artlcl9 did come
from. Why said the man, is there any
thing wrong? We did not warrant il, you
know continued the seller with a grin.
No; there is nothing wrong the priest
said. Il simply asked where It came from
for a reason of my own. Good morning.
So the widow was five thousand and some
odd dollars better of, and she always
considered that Providence had inter-
vened in her behalf in a special way.
