Very Polite.

L have heard of a great many eases
Of politeness. l know the French are
most polite nation, and | have heard
it said that some Americans can be 20
lite. But the proprietor of a lodging
house in New York compares favorab1y
with the record. A friend of mine
went up one day to this large lodging
house to take apartments for his moth
er, who was coming from California.
He rang he bell. 1t was not answer
ed. He rang again. There was some
skurrying inside, but the door did not
open. Once more he rang. The door
opened.
Have you any rooms to let?"
"Well, no, SIR" and the speaker
kept glancing uneasily upstairs as he
spoke. "The fact is, they are all held
by people who are out OF town for the
season"
Have you nothing at alp"
81 have some upstairs; but could
perhaps suit you about the 1st of Octo-
ber."
Cant [ see them now?"
just then a boy appeared at the
head of the stairs.
Its breaking out all over, he said.
Really, you must excuse me, sir, 1
should be delighted to show you the
rooms, but the fact is-the house is on
fire upstairs. Ring the alarm, John
n.y."
And in ten minutes the neighborhood
was strewn with engines and streams
of water were pouring everywhere.

A Yankee in a Strange CITY.

Santiago de Cuba is very strange
city. The houses and stores are so
built that the walls can almost entirely
be thrown open, while the interiors
have courts that are unroofed and open
to the sky. The money of the country
is strange, and nothing about the city
is familiar to an American. A real
Yankee just landed spoke as follows:
Somehow | can't tell when I'm
indoors and when I'm aout I've got
a room, OR somethin'. in hotel here,
and I've been into it, quandarvinp

but | can't make heads nor tails of it.

His Last Absent-Minded

A friend sends us the following incl
dent as having happened in a neigh
boring village: Il would like to tell
you of an incident of absent-minded-
ness that cured school-master entire
ly of this often-comical mental defect
iveness. The bell was ringing for
school and the masters wife wanted a
pail of water and bod of coal. To
save time the master strove to get both
the water and the coal at the same
time. He drew the water from an old
fashioned well, and getting his hod
filled with coal entered the house with
his hands full. He walked up to the
sink and placed the hod of coal where
the WATERFALL was usually kept, and
taking the pail of water into the sit
ting-room poured it into the stove.
The kissing steam blew open the stove
doors, issued from the coal-chamber
and every seam in the stove, scorcned
the master, put out the fire, and filled
the house with steam.
amid it all issued the agonized
shout of the schoolnaster: Blast my
eyes! I've made another mistaker He
never made another one. In the week
that he was done up in linen bandages
and goose grease his mind as we'll as
his body was restored to healthy con-
dition, and how he says: Absence of
mind is a phase of idiocy of which a
sensible man ought to be heartily
ashamed. H-N0r1oich Bulletin.

CorsetS for the Ankles.

1.-The man who invented the ankle
corset will make fortune by it, re-
marked the superintendent of a popu-
lar rink uptown where 1000 people
skate daily.
Have you tried it yet?' asked re-
porter.
NO; | haven't even see it. But l
think it will be a success. Some peo-
pie in skating never can keep their
ankles stiff. 1t impedes their speed
and makes them tire quickly. Now this
ankle corset as | understand it, is a
brace for the ankle to keep it from
turning. If it is properly constructed
it is bound to be of great assistance.
Many young ladies now in skating wear
high-laced shoes TO brace their ankles.
Not few of them wear two or three
elastics for the same purpose. But this
corset will have to be jaunty and grace
Unlocking or else no girl will wear it.
The great ambition of the girls now is
to attain style and grace rather than
speed and comfort, so the ankle corsets
will have to survive terrible scouting
before the rink queens will accept
them"
'.Do the ankles of the girl skaters
really require corsets or braces?'
LAS rule they do. If their ankles
are weak and in trying to cut didos on
skates they happen to turn, the corset
will certainly be of advantage to pre-
vent spraining. The ankle is the part
of the human body most liable to dam
age in skating. 1t is frequently weak
and rickety and uncertain about turn
ing. Therefore my impression is the
ankle corset will be the next wrinkle to
sell in conjunction with skates. ''-NeW

kangarOoiuG.

kangarooing is the most interesting
sport in Australia, and is one of the
most exciting in the world. Large
meets are organized, parties of from
twenty to thirty joining in these hunts.
They ride to the kangaroo grounds, and
as soon as an animal is sighted the two
dogs are released and the horses are
given their heads. If the Australian
horse is well up in his business, and if
you let him take You instead of your
trying to take him, he will carry you
safely, avoiding trees and underbrush.
A good, strong kangaroo will give you
long chase, and very often the dogs
cannot follow him. La this case. when
the horseman gets up to the kangaroo
he takes off his stirrup and strap and
knocks the animal over the head. which
effectually stuns him. He is then kill
ed and skinned. The hind quarters
are given to the dogs. It is good
enough for eating, but too strong to be
palatable to those of delicate taste.
The tail, on the contrary, is considered
delicious when made into soup. The
average size of kangaroo is about
three and half feet high, but the old
man kangaroo is often six feet, and is
very fierce when cornered; he has even
been known to rip men open with a
single blow from one of his hind legs.

The Lime-IXiin Club.

Brother Gardner announced that the
following rules and regulations would
be in force hereafter:
mo member allowed to remove his
boots or shoes during a session on ac-
count of chilblains.
ANY member removing book from
the library without giving his name will
be fined no less than s.. 90, nor more
than 500, according to the value of
the work.
''Memb ers will not be permitted to
discuss politics or religion in the hall,
but may freely talk horse and lay the
foundation for dog-fghts.
The presiding officer is to DO adj
dressed as Mister President and not
as Speaker or Chairman his rank
being the same as the President of the
State Senate.
while members are not prohibited
from eating onions for supper on the
night of the club, their attention is
called to the fact that Limburger
cheese is a good thing to break in on
monotony.
"a fraternal feeling is expected to
prevail between members, but any
member lending another money must
take his chances on repayment. In
case of horse trade they are to forget
for the time being that they ever saw
each other before or will ever meet
again
"All dogs are to be left in charge of
the outer guard, who will not be held
financially sponsible for any accidents.
The members wearing clean shirts
ard having oil on their hair will take the
front row of benches.
mo member will be excused from
serving on a committee unless he can
prove that insanity has always run in
the family.
I'm case the roof of Paradise Hall
falls in each member will have license
to get out as speedily as possible, but
in case of fire it is expected that the
officers will take precedence in getting
down stairs.
"All razors left in the hall after a
meeting will be carefully laid away by
the janitor, and once in three months
there shall be a public sale, the pro-
ceeds of which shall 90 towards the

AS the result of about an hours work
daily for space of three months, about
100 California bronchos at Fort Bay
ard, N. NJ, have been taught to lie flat
upon the ground while cavalrymen on
other horses fire over them. The hors-
es are made to drop while bearing their
riders by a gentle tap on the left
breast. When down they allow the
men to climb over them, creeping be-
tween their legs and fondle them as if
they were their greatest friends. Army
officers have become very much inter-
ested in the matter, and more extensive
experiments are to be made.
The giraffe has perhaps the most as
tonishing mimicry of any animal. Its
great size, which enables it to live on
lofty tree boughs in its native African
forests, makes it also most conspic-
uous object to its enemies, of which
the most dreaded are the lion and man.
Such is its mimlcry, however. that the
most practiced eye has failed to distin-
guish the giraffe from one of the dead
and blasted trees which abound in the
haunts of this animal. Reliable evil
dence assures Us that lions have been
known to gaze long and earnestly at a
motionless giraffe, and, being unable
to decide that it was a tree, to turn
and skulk away.
