A French NwindIcr.

A French noblemdn played game of
ecarte with foreign count. The latter
won, and the Frenchman pulled ont TO-.
600 francs and handed them to the win
ner, who quietly secured them in his
pocketbook and went home. EIrly the
next morning a gentleman of artistic
bearing and decorated with the order of
the Legion d'Ilonneur was shown into
the apartment of the foreign count, who
was still asleep.
"Monsieur," he said, IN tones tremb-
ling with excitement, "vou hold in your
hands the houor of whole family

were apprised of the nefarious practices
of our relative, and this morning ] start
ed off at daybreak TO call here and ask
you in heavens name to exchange the
notes for ten others which have brought
with me-"
The noble foreigner, out of considera-
ton for his visitor grief, exchanged the
notes. But on returning TO the club the
same evening, he was not little sur
prised to meet his OF ponent of the previ-
|, Gus night, and, what was still more sur
prising tie latter proposed to have his
revenge. The foreigner curtly refused,
and the other insisted, which led to an
: explanation. The Count drew from his
pocket the fresh notes he bad received
in the morning. The French nOhleman,
quite stupifed, examined them carefully
and found that they were false. The
! gentleman with the decoration turned
, out to be a notorious thief and swindlel
who had thus contrived to net lO,OOC
francs in genuine bank notes.

CUR AND OUTLET.
A story which SheVys That Dog
May Have Conscience.

Stories of sagacious dogs are plentiful
enough, but they always form pleasant
reading, chiefly because they are true.
Here is dog With conscience. He Is
skye terrier. The owner had dish
of mutton outlets for his lunch. Whe m
the reDast was finished there was one
cutie, left on the dish. The gentleman
was reading the newspaper, and appeared
to be taking no notice. The dog saw the
outlet, and his mouth began to water.
Then.he smelt at it. 1t was very nice.
Doggy resolution could stand it no longer.
The terrier seized the outlet and bolted
under the sofa.
Srill the gentleman took no notice.
The terrier paused for a moment, ex-
pectinc to receive kick or Il torrent of
abuse. Nothing of the kind. The mas
ter took 10 notice. Somehow all the
flavor of that outlet seemed to have
departed. The conscience stricken
terrier refused TO touch it. He looked
pitifully around for time. How could
he offend SO good a master? lie would
not.
He simply picked up the outlet, laid 1t
at his masters feet, hung his head III
shame and skunk away, with his whole
body expressing the sentiment of shame
as plainly as anything this world has
ever seen. Tne master did not beat the
dog, but gave the outlet TO him. The
Hour.

Origin Of Mosquitoes.

The Indians have "a very satisfactory
account of the origin of the Montezuna
mosquitoes. The legend runs thus
There were in times of old, many moons
ago. two huge feathered monsters per-
mitted by Manitou to descend from the
sky and alizht on the banks of the Seneca
River. Their form was that of the mos
quito. They were SO large that they
flew toward the earth. Standing on
either bank, they guarded the river, and'
stretching their long necks into the
canoes of the Indians as they attempted
to paddle along the stream, gobbled
them I'D as the stork king in the fable
gobbled up the frogs. The destruction
Of life was so great that not an Indian
could pass without being devoured IN the
attempt. 1t was long before the monsters
could be extermiDated, an then only by
the combined efforts of all the Cdyugs
and Onondaga nations. The battle wa
terrible, but the warriors finally I'm
umphed. and the mammoth mosquiioe

neglect the Indians had to pay deari,

STRUCK BY A HOT STREAK.
An Umbrella Rendered Useless by
FIa,h From the Clouds.

No man is better known i'm this vicinity
than Uncle Daniel Stone. For more
than rs years he has lived in Otisfield,
ABOUT three miles from this village. He
was struck by lightning at The age of 30.
One summers day he came down to the
village afoot to get some cloth for shirt.
Putting the cloth in peck basket
which he carried on his arm, he started
for home, going across through pastures,
and woods. A thunder shower came up
and he raised his umbrella. Just as he
was passing by a small birch the light.
ming struck oil and fair upon the iron
nozzle of the umbrella, which was turned
inside out and the cloth cut into ribbons
as if by scissors. 60.
Then the lightning ran down his right
arm. leaving thin mark, ss if made by
a hot iron, swelling up the joints of the
elbow and wrist and splitting open his
hand. Another branch of the huld ran
down the other arm, utterly DESTROYING
the bail of the basket (at least no piece
of il could ever be found), left the Iim
uniniured. but cut the rest of the basket
into slips Then it passed down ms legs,
leaving a long burn on the upper part oi
the right leg, and peeline skin and hesh
|, from his knees, leaving the white bones
of the knee pan exposed. Every seam
in his shoes was cut open as clearly rs
though done by a sharp knife, but the
leather was uninjured. Oxford Mass.
