TALLEYRAND WAS sharp old fox. He
made it rule never to reply to any
charges against him in a newspaper.
This made the newspapers reckless, and
they published all sorts of stories. Peo-
pie soon found out that Talleyrand had
been slandered, and the consequence
was that in after years, when the truth
vas published against the cunning dip
lomat, nobody would believe it. They
simply said: Here is another infa-
nous lie about Talleyrand." and passed
on to something else.

Gxnsevoort Market. New York.

An open square, divided by numerous
paved walks; on one side the river and
its moving panorama as background;
on the other three sides large stores,
where all sorts of provisions can be pro-
cured. Along the pavements in the
square long lines of country. wagons,
laden with fresh fruits and vegetables,
which are sold in retail quantities at
wholesale prices. Up and down the
pavements trip purchasers with baskets,
who pick out their own corn, peaches,
beans, salads and potatoes, and exchange
chaff with the handsome farmer lads.
Among them are large buyers-keepers
of hotels and boarding houses, perchance
who have their goods carried to CEN
tral barrel which is guarded by messen-
erboy.
The sight is pretty and lively, quaint
and enterprising. IL it were i'm London
or Paris the New Workers on tour would
get up early to see it, and write letters to
the American newspapers about IL. As
il Ii right here in New York, at Ganse-
wort market, nobody ever thinks OF
paying it visit, unless bent upon little
marketing racket. Artists who are al
ways grumbling at their lack of subjects
and taking tours abroad to find some
thing TO paint, would discover genre pict-
ures ready to be transformed to canvas
by taking the street cars to tiansevoort.

As the engineer Of engine l,217, on the
Wabash, pulled out Of Given, en- route
for Ottumwa, one evening recently, he
noticed what appeared to be small ami
NAL hopping along the track ahead Of
the pilot Gradually he increased the
speed of the locomotive, but the little
quadruped seemed also to have dropped
another notch" and despite the tremen-
dous gait Of II easily retained its posi-
tion. Disguised beyond expression, the
engineer began heaving chunks of coal
at it, but all in vain. 1t seemed to bear
q charmed life, and successfully baffied
all endeavors Of the engineer and fireman
TO check its wild career. For twenty-one
miles the engineer had chased that de-
lusive object, and thoroughly disguised
he gave up the race at Ottumwa, and
stopped. The object stopped also. With
his pick in hand the engineer made
sneak on the animal, harmless, but
possessed Of such anomalous migratory
powers With quick precision he brought
the pick down full on the animals back,
but a ''sickening thud" was the only
sound he heard, and with a wild laugh
he arose, thenceforth to be a raving
maniac. For q full hour he had been
making desperate efforts to run over the
shadow Of a leaf adhering to the head
light, and the discovery and reaction was
too much for his already shattered
nerves.-Burlingto Hawkeye.

A Human Phenomenon.


NJ. de Qnatrefages, the naturalist, has
examined real phenomenon, a Proven
cal Of thirty. named Simeon Aiguier,
who had been presented by DIR. Trenes.
Aiguier. thanks to his peculiar system
of muscles and nerves, can transform
himself IN most wondrous fashion. He
has very properly dubbed himself
"LIIommc -Protcc." At one moment,
assuming the rgidity Of a statue, his
body may be struck sharply, the blows
falling as on block of stone. At an
other he moves his intestines from above
and below and right to left into the
form Of large football and projects it
forward, which gives him the appear
ancc of a colossally stout parsonage. He
then wilhdraws it into the thorax open
ing like a cage, and the hollow look of
his body Immediately reminds one of Q
skeleton. Aiguier successfully initiates
a man subjected to the tortures of the
rack. as also man hanging himself,
and assumes a strikingly cadaveric look.
What most astonished NJ. de Quatrefages
was the stoppage of the circulation of
the blood, now on the left and now on
the right side, which was effected by
muscular contraction. = Boston Tran

Peon and German.

The condition of the peon laborer of
this country, much as it needs to be i'm
proved, compares favorably with hum
dreds of thousands of European toilers.
A German twig broom maker, by con-
slant labor, earns a daily wage of Is
cents, of which l3 must go for food, the
items being bread, 3 cents; coffee and
sugar, 2 cents; beer, 2 cents; potatoes
and saurkraut, cents, and all other
food 3 cents. His yearly expenditure
for clothing is trifle over 81. And
this man, it should be borne in mind,
works in climate of rigorous winters,
necessitating warm clothing and secure
shelter. Comparing his lot with that of
peon in the hot-country states, we can
see no reason for lamenting the condi-
ton of the Mexican laborer.

Revenge OF Restrained Imagination.


Do you say what is the use of these
@fairy stories. when to learn n little of
the world of the senses life is all too
short? can only say that as an edu-
cational influence they seem to me to
have a far wider function than the
modern realistic and scientific literature,
whidl is addressed to sharpening the
observation and the perceptive powers
which case MS in as with a shell. and
are the master gloom of all our dark
ness. There is nothing more necessary
to mental health and balance. as is
shown by the eagerness of healthy chill
dren for nutriment to the imagination,
than the cultivation of the more OBJ
scmre parts Of the imagination. 1t may
not conduce to success in business, but
il condnces to sanity.
When thought is held entirely within
the limitations of the natural and posi-
tive, imagination takes a terrible re-
vengp. A peculiar and distressing form
Of insanity awaits the posterity of the
men and women to whom the things Of
this world are the only subject of
thought. Fungi grow in the dark, un-
conscious recesses of minds never il.
luninsd by the weird light of the un-
ierlying world. When the gods are alb
sent, ghosts crowd in. The poisonous
spares are dormant in those who laugh
at the dreamy poet or the impractical
mystic. but their development in the
coming generations is uncertain.-Pro-

Inoculation for Yellow Fever.

DR.. Freire, who claims to have dis
covered the microbe of the disease yell
low fever, and method of inoculation
TO prevent its ravages. is reported to
have performed the operation upon 1000
persons living in localities where yellow
fever is prevailing in most malignant
form. OF this large number but eight
have died. During the same period some
1000 uninocculated persons have sue
cumbed to the fever. Should the bill to
enfore inoculation in Brazil obtain q
place in the statutes, these claims of
Freire will be subjected to rigid investi-
cation by the best American experts,
and. il substantiated, doubtless be the
means of introducing his system, or q
modification OF 1t, into the United States,
whenever yellow fever shall again ap-
pear in epidemic form.-Frank Leslie's.

The Dragon In Chinese joss Houses.

Perhaps the most familiar form of all is
the dragon, that seems to have an es-
pecially strong hold upon upon the Chinese
as well as St. George. Some houses of
worship, called popularity "joss houses"
are known 10 true believers as temples of
the Dragon King" The dragon in some
shape Is seen about nearly every house of
worship To it the Charleston laundry
men, If there were any, probably laid the
earthquake in August, and the San Fran
cisco devouts call to mind this terrible
monster whenever any convulsion occurs
here. The ordinary dragon would pass
for the American sea serpent as depicted
by the average landlord about September
!. Long and snake like, covered with
scales, painted red or gilded, its caudal fin
set of streamers, the dorsal like huge
saw, it presents an uncanny appearance,
yet is picturesque. The head is simply ap-
palling; the mouth enormous-a red cav
ernous abyss, with plentiful supply of
teeth, from among which extends the
tongue. Well made dragons generally
have mustache. Snakes of all kinds are
considered as the earthly manifestations
Of the dragon and consequently occasion
ally are worshiped. Francisco

The bottom Of the pail was covered

smack of his lips. it was evident that
the what-is-i were good.

Increasing Weight Of Loeomo.lvs..

Not only have locomotive cylinder
diameters increased within tie past few
years. Int pressures also have aug-
mented. They have risen from 120
pounds, which was considered high not
10 long ngo. 10 1t0 pounds. and In some
boilers 175 pounds are now carried.
These things all mean more weight, be-
cause the boiler must be heavier. and all
parts Of the engine must be increased in
dimensions to bear the additional strain.
Under such circumstances the constant
increase IN the weight of locomotives Is
but natural. Iron Age.
