A Trio of Eichts.

It happens only once in century when a triplet of figures can marshal them selves before the human understanding, and I presume those who are fond of dates will see much that is suggestive in this. Assuredly there is the sound of fieeting time, the tick tack of clock, the ''going, going, gone" of fate in those three eights of 1888. They actually give me the shivers, while in appearance it is the most awkward array of numbers can remember to have outlived. How much jauntier TIT looksl And as to 1899, it is as graceful as if composed of comets. However, it is no use worrying about what cannot be helped; but if l had my way one of those fat eights should be bounced.-Boston Herald.

Thought He Was Poisoned.

A Danbury man recently found what he supposed was mushroom, weighing ten ounces, which he cooked and ate with a relish. Soon after he felt pain in his stomach, which, failing to subside, alarmed him. A stomach pump and other salutary methods were applied and he soon felt relieved. An exterior ex- animation, however, revealed pin that had worked through from his belt and was the cause of all the trouble. New York World.

The Mammoth Caves Rival.

Theresis a cave on Gran Bethuram' place, seven miles from Mount Vernon, which nearly equals the celebrated Nam meth cave in proportions and fully so in curiosities. In it are several lakes or ponds, in which fish without eyes are found in abundance. It is a mass of caverns, some of which are from sev- enty-five to 100 feet high. A party of ladies and gentlemen recently got lost in the labyrinths of the caverns, and several hours elapsed before they found their way out, A party from this place are preparing to fully explore the cave, and if arrangements can be completed they will probably start soon, prepared to make their explorations complete.- Louisville Courier Journal.

THE MIRAGE.

They tell us what when weary travellers deem They view through quivering heat across the
 sand
 Great rocks for shadow In weary land, And clustering palms, and, fairer yet, the gleam Where smiles in light to laugh in sound the
 stream, slFhis is no work of some enchanter's wand, But that reflected here true visions stand Of far of things that close beside them seem. So, worn with lifes hot march, when near at
 hand
 A happier world we see upon us beam, Where death and parting need not be our
 theme, None there by toll forethought, by grief un-
 manned, Prophets of science, hush your stern command, Oh! bid us not to hold it all a dream.

A Queer Old Pilgrim.

The old Connecticut pilgrim known as 'sthe darned man" is dead. In young manhood his mind was unhinged by the sudden death of his affianced bride, and for the rest of his long life he tramped through the state, always wearing his wedding suit. The great desire of his life was to preserve that suit. And the only articles he ever solicited were needles and thread or yarn to mend it. As years passed on, the repairs to which the suit was subjected were so numerous that but little of the original cloth remained. But in the eyes of the poor old pilgrim it bune,

Any device that will make the cars comfortable and do away with the chances of fire in case of accident will satisfy the public; the railways have only to consider tho question of efficiency and economy.

Japan,s Coast Defense.

The people of Japan have made vol untary subscriptions of $2, 100000, some 5000, ,000 more than was desired, to the coast defense fund.

Monumental sculnture.

There never was time in the United States when the conlmemoration of his toric deeds by monumental sculpture was so universal as to-day. The idea of erect ing suitable memorials to national heroes, to feats of arms by individuals, regi- ments, or brigades, or to signalize some exceptional historical event is conspicu- ous mark of the general recognition of worth by all sections of the Union, going to show that republics are not as ungrate- full as the old saw hath it.-Frank Leslie's.

A Costly Sewing Machine.

A sewing machine of solid silver and enriched with sapphires was recently re- ceived by the empress of Russia. It was present from the Society for Pro- noting the Use of Russian Materials. The czarina has taken great interest in this organization. Her enthusiasm, how ever, will not cause her to use the sewing machine in all probability.-New York World

Game in Tennessee.

There is still plenty of big game left in the wilder portions of Tennessee. A party of five sportsmen who recently spent few days hunting in Dyer county bagged nineteen deer and one bear. They say that if they had given all their time to hunting deer they could have killed fifty. Chicago Herald.
