Confronted with Villany.

When Mr.. Popperman threw of his
overcoat last evening, his wife said,-
"My dear, this is your birthday. Now
what kind OF a present would you prefer2"
"Well, money"
"That's just the kind of a present
have for you," and Mrs. Popperman took
from beneath her apron a plethoric bag,
and emptied upon the table a pile of jung
ling coins. "There's your birthday pres
ent."
The husband looked at the coins in
amazement, and then said,-
''Why, my dear, the money is no good.
There is nothing here but lead quarters
and dimes with holes in 'em. Here's a
quarter with a hole in it, and the hole is
bigger than the quarter. What confound-
ed rascal palmed that money off on you:
Oh, the scoundrels there are in this
world!'

Popperman. THAT money must all be
good. That's what you have given me

A Romance of the Pension Office.

A very strange story comes to me from
the Pension Office, which I relate with
out giving the names: Not long ago one
of the leading clerks of the department,
and his sweetheart came to the house in
which he lay and made a great ado over
his death, saying she was engaged to him.
She was pretty, an heiress, and interesting.
She had hardly reached the house before
sweetheart Number Two arrived from a
neighboripg State. Number Two said
she was also engaged to the deceased, and
she was also very pretty and very interest
ing. Investigation showed that the clerk
had really engaged himself to these two
girls, and that he had made preparations
to marry Number Two a few months after
the time at whichhis death took place. He
had borrowed money of the heiress, Num-
Der One. and as she was preparing her
clothes for her coming marriage, she had
so much faith in her to be husband that
she took no notes OF memoranda OF
the debts. The papers left by the de-
ceased show that he has left all his prop
erty to Number Two, and so sweetheart
Number One loses both her husband and
the money she lent him.

will patiently learn how to cook him.
A preserving kettle of the finest porce-
lain is best, but if you have nothing but
an earthenware pdpkin it will do with
care. See that the linen In which you
wrap him is nicely washed and mended,
with the required number of buttons
and strings nicely sewed on. Tie him
in the kettle by a strong silk cord called
comfort, as the one called duty is apt to
be weak. They are apt to fly out of the
kettle and be burned and crs1sty on the
edges. since. like crabs and Holsters, you
have to cook them: while alive. Make a
clear, steady fire of love, n~eatness, and
cheerfulness. Set him as near this as
seems to agree with him. If he sputters
and fizzes do not be anxious; some hus-
bands do this till they are quite done.
Add a little in the form of what
confectioncrs call kisses, but no vinegar
or pepper on any acc punt. A little spice
improves them, but it must be used
with Judgment. Do not stick any sharp
instrument into him to see if he is be-
coming tender. Stir him gently; watch
the while lest he lie too close and flat to
the kettle, and so become useless. You
cannot fail to know when he is done.
If thus treated you will find him very
digestible, agreeing nicely with you and
the children; and he will keep as long
as you want unless you become careless
and set him in too cold a place.

Baby Tigers.

In F~orepaugh's menagerie there are
six as 1.-THE aud brightly marked tigers
as anybody ever saw, One morning, at
daylight, the keepers were surprised by
an unusual commotion among the cat an
imaIs. The men got out strong ropes,
~lassoes, and nets, believing that some of
the more formidable of the wild beasts
were out of their dens.
They approached the wide stairs with
caution and entered the room. The tiger
den was the scene of a fierce confusion,
and the other animals shared the excite
ment. The men advanced to the front
of the den, and were met with demon
STATIONS of angsr. Lying close to the
wall in one corner vas the huge Bengal
tiger, and at her side a pair of beautifully
marked cubs, with eyes closed like a
Young kittens. With cries of wonder
the men gazed at the treasures which
had been born during the night. Still
they could not understand why all the
wild beasts should seem SO restless. One
of the keepers, following the eye OF a
huge panther shouted:

wandered around until it had tired out
and gone to sleep. When one Of the men
carefully picked it up it uttered q feeble
CRY. The scene that followed made
/ those men, used to danger as they are,
white with fear. The tigers bent the
bars Of their cages, and the lions roared
in unison with the shrieks of the other
animals. It was a little pande-nonium.
TO attempt to put the cub through the
bars into the cage from which it had
fallen was certain death to whoever I'M
dcrtook it, for with their long forearmt
and their curved claws the tigers would
have torn to shreds whatever had been II

An American Beauty.

Probably the most supesblya beautiful
woman ever married in this country to a
foreign diplomat was Mrs. Bass, of Mis-
sissippi. After having passed several
winters in Washington She married the
Chevalier Bernatti, a man of rare ac-
complishments, but in no ways good
looking. Her beauty was SO celebrated
when she was the Widow Bass that the
mere mention of it %suffice3 to recall to
many throughout the country the vision
of her superb presence. ga daughter of
the gods, divinely tall, and most divinely
fair" The Chevalier Bernatti, after his
marriage, went to Turkey, where he was
the Minister of Italy for some years, and
the Sultan presenter Mime. Bernatti with
an exquisite necklace of pearls. He
died, and she returned here to recover
from the United States Government a
considerable sum of money for cotton de-
stroyed on her Mississippi plantation.
When last in Washington she was ac-
companied by her daughter, Miss Bass,
who has inherited her mothers fair,
sunny face, wealth of light brown hair,
and imperial person.

not expected to do any grand work; her
province lies in a contrary direction-in
gentleness, in checrfulness, in content
