RUNNING AWAY.

A Short Story Showing That There Are
Worse Places for IL Boy han His Home.
This is not exactly the season of the
year for boys to run away from home,
but it is getting SO boys run away more
or less at all seasons of the year, and
since there is so much said in the papers
about the warm climate in the South,
where people can eat oranges and loll
in the shade in January, and the New
Orleans Exposition is holding out gilt
tering inducements to visitors to go
South, where they will be able to wear
linen busters in the winter, there are
many boys who are becoming restless
at home, and a good many will run
away this winter, no doubt. A boy
who reads papers, and thinks he is
posted about things away from home,
gets tired of doing chores with the
thermometer twenty degrees below
zero, and he yearns for a warm climate.
He goes to bed at night with his fingers
and toes cold, from working in the
barn among cattle and horses, and as
he undresses in a cold room in the gar
ret, and jumps into a cold bed, and
feels the wind and snow coming in the
cracks, sees the frost on the glass, and
hears the wind whistle, he dreams of a
land that is fairer than this, and some
day he takes a change of clothes. and
with money enough to buy a ticket a
thousand miles or so South, he leaves
the old home and goes out into the
world to get warm. Nine times in ten
it is made so warm for him that he
would give all he possesses to be home,
cold as that home is There are proha-

THE SKATES EVOLUTION.

How the Beautiful ..Club" skates Were
F~oreshadowed in the Curled Toes of Old.
The Milwaukee Globe says: Many a
man of to-day can remember the long
curled toe, steel runner, Embedded in a
solid piece of wood, that formed the
skate of his boyhood days. To the
wood were attached the long straps
and the screw in the heel that fastened
the skate to the foot. This skate, too,
was guttered, and the fellow that had a
pair of ''smooth bottoms" was the envy
and wonder of all the other boys. The
curly-toe gradually disappeared, tho
long straps gave place to the double
toe-strap, and the heel-strap, that with
its harness rings always reminded one
of a halter, took flight with the old
wood screw that used to be bored into
the boot heel. Other changes followed
rapidly.
Some bright skater concluded that
better speed could be attained if less OF
the steel touched the ice, and the
rocker skate made it's appearance.
Another happy thought knocked the
toe straps out in n round and gave
the steel clamps, frightened by means of
a double screw and wrench, in place Of
them. A plate in the boot-heel, and
knob on the skate, said goodbye to
the heel-strap, and very shortly after
ward clamps similar to those on the
toe made the heel of the skate nearly
perfect. A simple turn of the wrist
connected the two SETS of clamps with
q fever. and the skate was made. THE
Globe might have added that the pro-
cess of evolution has to a very large
extent done away with skates, and sub
stituted rollers, which are now all the
craze.-Br0oklyn Times.

THE FAIR OF NJ
Ceremonies Attendant Upon the Occasion
-Yucatan Bull-Fights.

Ceremonies Attendant Upon the Occasion
-Yucatan Bull-Fights.
On the Sth of December the festival
of Our Lady of Izamal is celebrated
with great pomp. A large fair is also
held in the city during those days in
her honor. Even merchants from
neighboring States flock there, if not
to kneel at the shrine Of the Virgin, to
worship at the altar Of Mercury. De-
voices on those occasions crowd the
private apartment of the doll, which is
also carried in solemn procession,
decked in gorgeous array, and followed
by a long train of worshippers.
After church service is over, all leave
in a hurry and rush to the bull-fight.
Many of the Indians, who know abso-
lutely nothing about tauron1achy, enter
the ring to fight the bull, exposing
themselves to be injured for life, or die
a painful death. In this we see an
ancient custom yet prevalent. The
ancients sacrificed their lives to deities
for any benefit received. To-day an
Indian begs a favor of his patron saint,
and as a proof of his deep gratitude
promises to fight a bull, keep drunk a
certain number of days, or do some
other rash thing.
Bull-fighting in Yucatan is not like
bull-fighting in Spain. The ring is a
double palisade sustaining sheds COW
cred with palm leaves. that are divided
into boxes. Every M provides his
own scat. The best and the worst. big
and small, all attend the bull-fight.
Those who, on foot, merely play with
the bull, only have a %henequen sack to
serve as shield. Others, also on foot,
are provided with poles about three feet
long, having a sharp iron head, like
that of an arrow, called rejon. When
the people are tired of seeing the bull
played with, they call for the rejomeros.
Those with the spears described then
come forward. Their business is to
strike the bull in the nape and kill it,
but it is seldom done at once. The
beast is chased by two or three men,
blow after blow is dealt, the blood
gushing afresh each time. The first
pain makes the animal furious. but the
loss of blood soon weakens it, and it
becomes almost harmless. Then the
horsemen are called to lasso it. and
drag it away. While another bull is
being fetched rockets are fired, the
people applaud, the band plays, clown
meanwhile doing his best to amuse the
spectators. If a bull is disinclined to
fight, they gid his body with ropes in
every possible way, fastening fire.
crackers about his head and tail. Ag-
gravated and tortured, the poor beast
jumps about, and the crackers explode
to the great delight of all present, big
and small, This renders it furious for
a few minutes; but if itagain refuses to
fight it is taken away as a coward not
worth killing.-ANce D. le Pongeon, IN
Ha7per's Magazine.

Albania de Granada, recently de-
stroyed by an earthquake, possessed a
most romantic situation and the most
romantic history of any town in Spain.
1t stood high upon the verge of a gil
gantic cleft in the mountains, the re-
suit of volcanic action. From its po-
sition it was justly regarded by the
Moors as the Key of their kingdom of
Granada, and when captured in 1852
by the forces of Ferdinand and Isabella
the Alhambra was felt to be fore
doomed. 1t was that event which gave
origin to the mournful ballad, ''Muy
Doloroso," translated by Lord Byron,
with the sad refrain at the close OF each
stanza, "Woe is me. Albania"

Peck'S San
A NOTABLE RESTAURANT,
One of the Curious Low Eating Houses Of
Paris.

One of the Curious Low Eating Houses of
Paris.
Some forty years ago Pans could
boast of some very curious low eating
houses, " gargotes, and cheap ones to
boot. There was an establishment in
the Rue de la neutrality-suspicious.,
lugubrious name-that perhaps had no
equal anywhere. 1t consisted of a long.
corridor-like hall, on the ground floor;
it was neither paved nor tagged; you
believed yourself in the street, only the
ceiling assured you there was some
thing between You and the sky. The
table was fixed to the ground by solid
posts of wood in masonry; the leaf of
the table was a long block of wood,
pierced at intervals, like a school desk
for ink-bottles, in which q hole had
been e%xcavated, and then lined with
tin; opposite each of these holes was a
kind of rustic stool, serving for an
armchair. The walls were hung with
pictures of reigning sovereigns, and
battle-pieces. Body and mind were
thus provided with nutriment; it was a
restaurant-school. The school, how
ever, cost nothing, the feast of reason
was unchanged for, but the meal meant
nine sous. When any of the ancestors
Of the Rothschild family dined there,
they gave the waitress one sou-a gra-
tuity was not obligatory. The client,
on taking his seat, had his soup 'laid
ON by means OF a syringe arrangement
connecting the soup-coppers with the
sunken, tin-lined cavity in the table; as
he commenced to eat he was expected
to pay. 1t was no use saying you had
forgotten your purse, or would return
the mex day; no pay, no pater noster;
the syringe was again brought into
requisition. and syphoned the soup
back into the boilers with the rapidity
Of a disappearing meal in apantomime.
But if the customer was able to meet
his bill like an honorable man, after the
soup was supplied he was given a junk
of bread, which had been fresh the day
before. Dipping this bread in the soup,
and the latter disposed of, the waitress
next threw into the hole a morsel Of
beef, not bad if your teeth were not
affected with the palsy, and then fol-
lowed an iron fork, which she wiped
by drawing through her closed finger
and thumb, or her shut hand-and all
was said.-iHe Paris Caterer.

This week might be called legislature
week. Four State legislatures met on Mon
day, six meet to-day, eight will meet to-
morrow and ono Thursday. The California
Legislature, which met yesterday, will elect
a Republican Senator to succeed Mr.. Farley,
Democrat. There Is nothing upon which
TO base prediction as to who will succeed
Mr.. Farley.
Ex-senator Sargent is one of tho candi-
dates. He bases his claim it is said upon
tho fact that he would not allow, when
Minister to Germany Bismarck to bully
him. The Florida Legislature will choose
a Senator. The reelection of Senator Call
is assured The Delaware Legislature may
choose Senator, but it depends altogether
upon whether Senator Bayard will go into
the Cabinet or not. If Mr.. Bayard should
elect to go into the Cabinet councils either
Attorney General Gray or Congressman
Lore will succeed him.
The Colorado Legislature will have a
hard time to choose Mr. Hills successor. The
fight is very bitter. Senator Hill, ex-Sen.
atOr Chaflee and Secretary Teller are all
hotly in the field. They are trying to kill
each other of. The Colorado Legislature
win meet next Thursday. The Illinois
Legislature conyenes tomorrow. 1t will
choose successor to Senator Logan.
II is practically tie, though there are
some independent men, who thus hold the
balance Of power. Senator Logan is a
candidate for reelection. Charley Far
well is his principal Republican opponent
1t is generally thought, however, that
General Logan will succeed himself. Mr.
Morrison is tho leading Democratic candi'
date against him. The Missouri Legisla
ture will meet tomorrow. 1t will, in all
probability, ro-elect Senator. In the In,
diana Legislature Senator Voorhees, has a
walk-over, and will come back without
opposition.

Lewis II. Hart. a Cigar Mauufac.
turer. I'm the Police Court.

Lewis Il. Bart, the cigar manufacturer,
of Seventh and II streets, was put on trial
in the Police Court this morning on two
serious chaiges-violating the Internal
revenue laws. The charges were removing
cigars from bis factory without being
properly stamped and also with failing to
make daily entries in his books Of the
amount Of tobacco and cigar boxes pur-
chased and sold by him.
John Ecklof, the Deputy Collector of In
ternal Revenue for the District, was tho
complaining witness. The charge of re-
moving unstamped cigars was taken up
first, which is in violation of Section 1897,
Revised Statutes. Mr.. Eckloff stated that
the defendants factory is separated from
his cigar store. On the 18th of December
last witness found box containing forty
six cigars in the showcase of the store, and
there was no internal revenue stamp on the
box and the box was not labeled.
Henry f. Boges, cigarmaker, swore that
while in the employ of Bart he knew him to
sell unstamped cigars on several occasions.
Bart testified that the cigars found in an
unstamped toX were made by hand for q
customer. They were an extra quality aud
were made for special purpose. The box
in which they were found was given TO a
journeyman as guide for the size of the
cigars, and witness did not know how the
others got into the showcase.
Mr. Howard Claggett appeared for Mr..
Bart.
The Court held the defendant for the ae-
tion of the grand jury under $500 bonds.
The penalty is fine Of 800 to $1,000
and imprisonment from six months TO two
years.
In the other case it was sent up without
prejudice.
