The Language of Umbrellas.

There is language of umbrellas as

your umbrella in rack, and 1t will
change owners. To open it quickly in

is going to be put out; to shut it, that
n hat or two is to be knocked off, An
umbrella carried over q woman, the
man getting nothing but the drippings
of the rain, signifies courtship. When
O man has the umbrella and the woman
the drippings, it indicates marriage.
To punch your umbrella into person
and then open it means 81 dislike you"
TO swing your umbrella over your
head signifies al am making nuisance
of myself" To trail your umbrella
along the foot-path means that the man
behind you is thirsting for your blood.
To carry it at right angles under your
arm signifies that an eye Is to be lost
by the man that follows you. To open
an umbrella quickly, it Is said, will
frighten mad bull. To put cotton
umbrella by the side of silk one sig
nifies Exchange Is not robbery" To
purchase an umbrella means II am not

turn an umbrella means-well never

The municipality of Marseilles is providing
free kitchens for the relief of sufferers from
the plague. DR.. Koch, the German expert,
arrived at Lyons to-day. He thinks cholera
will reach there, but Will appear In mllder
form, owing to the excellent drainage OF
the city. 1t Is believed that up to date about
lbs 600 people have left Marselles, and the
outlying districts, which depend manly on
the city for support, are in a .ptiable state
of restitution. Fears Of similar exodus
from the capital are entertained, many of
the more wealthy families being already
prepared to fly at the first sign of the
plague.
The sanitary state Of Paris Is good. There
are some cholesteric cases in the city, but
none of an epidemic nature. The minister
of commerce has written q letter to the

give an authoritative opinion in regard to
the treatment of cholera cases and the best
measures to prevent the extension of the

1t is urged by many German newspapers
that in view of the probable spread Of
cholera to Germany DR.. Koch should return

the exercise of extreme vigilance.

A Dead Shot.

A lot of Summer tourists were on the
beach at Los Angeles the other day
watching some fancy rifle shooting by
q party of professional otter hunters
who had come over from the Channel
Islands for Sunday lark. These real
ly wonderful marksmen, most OF them
native Californians, were killing gulls
on the water, breaking bottles and
hitting dollars thrown into the air,
with great eclat, when dudish-look-
ing young man from Frisco yawned in
q bored manner, and remarked in
very audible voice to companion that
he didn't sec anything very wonderful
in that sort of shooting.
This produced a series OF sarcastic
ally polite retorts on the part of the
original lords of the soil. perhaps
the gentleman could show them some
thing better?'
"Wcll, 1 don't know" replied the
young man, languidly taking one OF
the hunters Winchesters. 81 might If
somebody would hold a cork or some
thing on his head for me-"
The rifemen showed their white
teeth with amusement.

gentleman's friend will oblige him."
"Why, to be sure" drawled the
dude, looking around. But his fellow
dude had sauntered off and was stand
ing some three hundred yards further
along the beach, meditatively smoking
long nine.

languid party. cooking the gun. LET
me see. You observe that cigar he has
in his mouth. Very well. I'll put q
hole through that" and taking care
less sight he fired. At the report the
smoker gave sudden start took out
and examined his Havana, and then
shook his fist angrily.
The entire crowd ran toward him.
Sure enough, there was hole right
through the center Of the cigar, almost
cutting it in half
That's the fourth cigar you've spoil
ed for me-" said the smoking dude, In
vexed tone. II wish you'd stop that
sort of a thing .l,.
As for the other hunters, they looked
at each other in mortified silence for q
few minutes. then climbed into their
boat and set sail.

the reporter the next morning. "Such
