Tommy Riggs, deputy constable OF
Lodi, stands 4 feet 10 1-2 inches in
his stocking feet. He is a thin, little
fellow, and so constituted that he
couldn't very well wrestle with a cy-
clone, although he has lots OF nerve.
Recently a circus visited Lodi with a
brass band and q clown. The show
didn't have much of a house and in
Cured bills which it refused to pay.
Several Lodi creditors issued writs of
attachment, and gavethem toTommy
to serve. Tommy, in an official ca
pacity, visited the sawdust arena.
What do you want here?" inquired
it's proprietor.

Tommy, revealing the star of his au-

asked Tommy.

the little constable, "and lick your

A PROBLEM.

Sandy and Ned were brothers;
Ned was older than Sandy;
And they were busy dividing
A stick OF peppermint candy.
Ned was earnestly trying
To make the division true,
And he marked the place with a fish hook
Where the stick ought to break in two
But, alas for little Sandy
And his poor painstaking brotherl
Twas a long and short division
One piece longer than the other,
Ned gravely locked At the pieces,
And their quite unequal length,
And he wrestled with the problem
With all his mental strength.
And at last he said, 80 Sandy!
lean make it come out right,
II take the piece that's longest, .
And bite off just one bite"
Their four eyes beamed and frightened
At this plan SO very handy,
OF ~disposing Of the problem
And distributing the candy.
So Ned ate the pieces even
Twas the simplest way TODD 1t;
And he cheated little Sandy
And they neither of them knew 1t.

A Philadelphia Crematory.
From the Philadelphia Record.

From the Philadelphia Record.
A crematory to cost $40 900 and
to be situated within ample grounds
in this city is to be erected this fall.
The scheme is it the hands Of a stock
company, OF which DR.. Berthold
Troutman is President, and sufficient
money has been subscribed to insure
the success of the plan. Eleven acres
Of ground a Manayunk have been
secured, and theplans forthe buildings
are now beingdrawn by William Gette,
the architect.
These plans contemplate a beautiful
chapel, after the old Greek style, the
p%ilasters, bases, columns and archi-
traves to be of granite and the walls
OF brick. The roof will be surmounted
with a cupola, and both covered with
copper. The building will be 100 feet
by 80 feet. The cupola will be sur
mounted by IN angel of peace; 15 feet
high, of solid bronze. Within the
walls OF this beautiful structure will be
a chapelroomy enought to accommodate
a large funeral party. The c%atafalque
upOl WHICH Ulle COilll VIII rest during
the ceremonies will beso arranged that
when the services are over it can be
lowered to the floor beneath, upon
which will be the crematory fur
mace. This will be manufactured by
Phillips, and be what is known as an
incinerating furnace, with regenerating
gas firing. 1t will be large enough to
burn two bodies at once The crema-
tory room will oe19feet high, andsup-
piled with every possible convenience.
Upon the chapel floor there will be a
chamber for the reception of the dead:
and i'll order that the relatives, may
be convinced that life is really extinct.
the apartment will be provided with
electrical appliances, so that the
slightest movement in the coffin will
sound an alarm to the Waterman.
Here the corpse may remain for three
days, if thought necessary.
Within the chapel there will be TO-
600 places of sepulchre for the ashes
Of the cremated dead. The grounds
will be laid out in keeping with the
buildings which are to be erected, and
there will be lots laid off for the burial
of the dead as in other cemeteries, so
that those who dislike the idea Of
cremation may bury their friends in
the orthodox way. Avery large mum
Der OF influential gentlemen are interes-
ted in the scheme.

Peeping at the Shah's Window.

When the wives of the Shah Of Per-
STA drive through the streets men go
ahead to clear the way and warn all
persons to conceal themselves. If a
man has no chance of getting away he

twenty OF the mounted guards violent

and their horses in the effort to drive
them back. l directed them to stand
their ground, and things were looking
serious, when one of the queens, who
recognized the servants of my legation
by their badges. sent her chief e1nuch
to call the soldiers away. We were
then allowed to pass through without
further molestation. The attack was
an insult to the dignity of the legation
too great to be overlooked. and I wrote
a note to the minister of foreign affairs
demanding satisfaction Immediately.
The reply to my note being tardy and
evasive. felt it my duty to inform the
of foreign affairs that unless
my terms were granted in thirty-six
hours should haul down the flag and
demand my passport, The result JUST

The following good story is told Of
Mozart at the time when he was a pu
ri! OF Haydn. Haydn had challenged
Mozart to compose q piece Of music
which, he could not play at sight. Mozart
accepted the banter. and a champagne
supper was to DO the forfeit. Every
thing being arranged between the two
composers, Mozart took his pen and a
sheet of paper, and in five minutes
dashed off a piece Of music, and much
to the surprise of Haydn, handed it to
him, saying "There is a piece of mu
sic which you cannot play, and l can ;
you are to give the first trial." Haydn
smiled contemptuonsly at the vissiona
~ presumption Of his pupil. and pla
cling the notes before him struck the
keys Of the instrument. Surprised at
its simplicity, he dashed away till he
re; che1 the middle of the piece. when,
stopping all ut once. he exclaimed !:
"How's this, Mozart? How's this ?
Here my hands are stretched out to
both ends of the piano. yet here is a
middle key to be touched. Nobody
can play such music-not even the
composer himself" Mozart smiled at
the half excited Indignation and per
plesity of the great master and taking
the seat he had Quilted, struck the in
strument with such an air of self-assu
rance. that Haydn began to think him
self duped. Running along the simple
passages, he came to that part which
his teacher had pronounced impossible
to be played. Mozart, it must be re
marked, was favored, or at least en-
lowed, with an extremely long nose.
Reaching the difficult passage. he
stretched both hands TO the extreme
long ends of the piano, and, leaning
forward. bObbed his nos against The
middle key, which nobody could play.
Haydn burst into an immoderate fit of
laughter. and; after acknowledging he
was beaten. he declared that nature had
endowed Mozart with a capacity for
music which lie had never discovered.
