STRANGE ADVENTURE.
A Dentist Is Prosecuted by Man Whom
 He Had Befriended.

A Dentist Is Prosecuted by Man Whom He Had Befriended.
 M Peter Lemonnier, dentist. liv- ing at Nice. has just had strange ad- venture. A short time ago patient called on. him and asked him to ex- tract one of his back teeth. When the operation was over the patient, taking out his cigar case. begged M. Peter Lemonnier to favor him with light. Acceding with politeness to this re- quest, the dentist produced box oi matches and handed it to his patient. The latter, however, had hardly touched the box when he exclaimed that the matches were contraband. With many apologies. he drew up his report, and it then transpired that he was M. RouX, one of the detectives of the Chemical Match Company. Ii may be imagined that the discovery was accidental; by no means.
 Combining business one can hardly say with pleasure, but rather with pain in this particular instance, M Roux, who must be one of the most energetic agents on the face of the earth, had taken with him colleague, M. Poncelle, who was awaiting the termination of the operation in an other room. A call from M. RouX brought M. Poncelle promptly to the spot and he acted in due and legal form as witness of the proces-verbal Prosecuted for having contraband matches in his possession, M. Peter Lemonnier tried to turn the tables on his opponents by bringing against them an action flor violation of domi- cile. !" The case has just come before the Tribunal Correctional de Nice. The court has decided, in the first place, that the company's agents have right 10 enter establishments of pub lIc resort. such as restaurants, cafes, and so forth, but that their power does not extend to private houses. especi- ally when they have obtained access to them by strategem.
 On the other hand the court ruled that there had been no "violation"
 the strictly legal sense of the word o M. Peter Lemonnier' abode. The dentist had opened the door to the two agents of his own free will and accord, nor had force been used in seizing the matches, seeing that M. Peter Lemon nier had himself handed the box to M. Roux. There remained the costs, half of which are to be defraved by the dentist and the other half by the two agents. As for M Roux, he is certainly deserving of promotion. There are but few who, after enduring such torment in the operation chair, could have bestowed thought on the kind of matches presented to him. - London IeleqrGph.

DOOZENBURY BOUNCED.

Why He No Longer Represents Schaum-
 berg, the Austin Merchant Prince.
 Young Doozenbury has just been discharged by his employer, Nose Schaumberg. The facts are as follows: Doozenbury had just returned from a trip over the State. His trip had been very satisfactory 10 himself, perhaps. but not so to his employer. He had spent great deal of money in buggy rides and one thing another, but had taken very few orders. When Dooz enbury, on his return, called 10 see the old man he was as mad as mischief. He said: Il don't believe you makes any efforts to sell goots. Veu wash a drummer I always sold goots to dose merchants, no matter ven dey don't want any. I made the acquaintance von every pody.
 Doozenbury came very near reply. ing that it was the reputation of his principal that prevented him from selling any thing, but he restrained himself
 How did you manage to sell goods when you were drummer?"
 'I will show You all apout dot. Schoost you sits down in my chairs. You pees country merchant; I plays now dot drummer
 "All right" says Doozenbury. 'Tn be country merchant, and I'll show you how they do. "
 Doozenbury pretended to be writing at his desk. and Nose Schaumberg came up from one side, lowing and scraping.
 "Goot morning. Can't I sell you some goots?"
 "Nho tine mischief are youP" says Doozenbury, looking up.
 Il travels for dot Austin firm of Nose Schaumberg.
 You do, do youP So you travel for that internal old thief. do you? Take that!'' and 10 impress upon ohis employer the diff culties of drumming up trade, Doozen bury kicked the old man four or five times, pushed him up in corner and choked him for awhile, and then told the old gentleman, who was speeches. with boDa-fide rage: If you ever come in here again I'll not leave a whole bone in your body. Nose Schaumberg is the most unmiti- gated old rascal in Texas.
 This explains why D)Ozenbury no longer travels for Schaumberg, the Austin merchant prince. lerGs SJt- ingS.

"But the General don,t- sar.J ..H

"But the General don't, says L. ..He never comes with us, but mopes out here alone, and even tips up the lid of his desk so we can't see what he's got"
 Il know itr' says Rob; and he gave a sniff as he yanked off the string. Then he pulled up the cover and peeked in. Then he looked at us, and says he: By the Great Horn Spoonr' rz --
 We always knew when Rob said that he was considerably surprised.
 The rest of us crowded around peck ed in, too, and what do you s'pose the | General had?
 Nice white bread and butter with bit of cold chicken or ham, piece ,of apple-pie, lump of cheese and chunk of fruit-cakep
 He had-just one small piece of rye bread and raw turnipi
 That was all! No butter even on the bread!
 Myrtle stepped back, and her face was all red and her eyes kinder shiny and misty: She grabbed the valentine from Clara hand and tore it into forty 'leven bits before you could say .Jack Robinson.
 General George'll never have his valentiner' she said.
 "Why don't that mean old maid feed him better?" says Rob, angry like. .s7 -s sess rs,5es
 'I s'pose she can't afford it" saSs Myrtle. "She's awful poor. But she's good to the General-that is, he seems to like her. Is'pose she gives him as good as she has herself. " ''
 But rye-bread and turnipi" says Rob, grooming. ''It seems to me some thing ought to be done about it"
 "Course there ought" says Myrtle. "This things got to be seen to. We've acted real mean to the General, teas ing the very life out of him! It's shame! Poor fellow! With no father or mother! How could we have car- ried on so! And he's smart enough at his books to make us all blush for our selves. I'm going to speak to my papa this very night and coax him to do something for the boy. But I'll tell you what we'll do now: we'll give the General valentine-only it won't be the kind we were going to! Let's all take something from our-baskets and fill hisr'
 '.All rightr' says we all. ~
 So Myrtle put in big piece of cocoa nut-cake and a roast chickens drum stick; Rob gave-an apple turnover and a popcorn ball; Clara gave some pick les and gingerbread. and the others bread and butter, and so on. until the basket was so full that the cover bulged up.
 Then Myrtle wrote on a slip of paper and tied it on the handle, and these are the words she wrote:
 "A valentine from those who are awfully sorry they've plagued you so, but who promise to never do so again."
 You can bet the General was pleased when he found it! His big black eyes inst shone! And since then he's joined in our games with the best of us. He's turned out to be an awfully jolly chap, and we're dreadful proud of him on examination and exhibition days Mary Z. Brush, in Toasth's Companion.

place of worship. abo,ls forty by twen-
 tv feet, bare of furniture, except wood-
 en benches placed against the wall
 upon which about sixty Moslems had
 taken seats. Upon similar bench at one end of the room four musicians
 were manipulating some curious-look- ing reed instruments, shaped like a
 hautboy. and bringing forth very
 dolcful strains. After few minutes eight men entered, dressed in short jackets. something like an
 abbreviated petticoat and wide pantlets, their heads covered with a Tyrolese hat without the
 brim. Taking possession of the mid dle of the room, they commenced to move their bodies with the cadence of the music. They seemed to be actu- ated and controled thereby. and when a change was made from the funeral tune to one of faster meter the dancers whirled around like top. extending their hands upward. They went around at such a fearful rate that their forms became indistinguishable as to front or back, kept this whirling motion up for over quarter of an hour and the strangest part of all was, when stopping, walked to seats on the benches without showing by their gait the effect of this peculiar exercise. They believe this to be the proper way to worship. but we con- cluded it would take considerable mis- siOnary work on their part to make converts among the American specta- tors. -Aden Cor.

How Arab Boys Play Marbles.

The Arabs play marbles differently from the American boys. Of course the arrangement of the marbles to be shot at can be varied in many ways; but the young Arabs shoot the marble in way of their own and much more accurately than American lads. The left hand is laid flat on the ground with the fingers closed together, and the marble is placed in the groove between the middle finger and forefnger. The forefinger of the right -hand is then pressed firmly on the end joint of the middle finger, and when the middle finger is suddenly pushed aside, the forefnger of the right hand slips out with more or less force and projects the marble very accurately in the direc- tion of the groove on the left hand. Many of the boys become very expert.
 Perhaps marbles are almost the only playthings for which Arab children pay money, and as a rule only very small capital is needed.-Henry ". Jessup. te s. Nicholas.

AN INDIAN AUTHOR.
A Young Sioux Writes a Readable Book
 on Indian Legends.


 Bush Otter. young Sioux Indian, has been engaged by the Geological Survey for some time in the prepara- ton of a series of legends which he learned while child in Dakota Bush Otter. says a Washington cores spond- ent, had received an excellent educa- ton, and the survey people considered his work of great importance. Un- fortunately Bush Otter went to Hedg vile, W. Va, last summer to write his stories in that quiet town, aud there met his fate. He scorned the paltry forty dollars per month he was receiv- ing to write book, which he had every reason to suppose would be of interest to white readers. Moreover, it is said, he suspected that several people in the survey were prepared to claim the credit for his work, and this was exceedingly distasteful to him.
 He mentioned his grievance and hoped that all cause for complaint would soon be removed. The. weeks rolled by and nothing was done. He began to despair, and finally rendered his resignation. The survey had se- cured from him two hundred and fifty-six stories, and that being considered sufficien. for the pres ent. his resignation was accepted. Bush O ter retired in disgust to Hedgesville to seek consolation of his lady love. He. will doubtless be given employment in some other branch of the service.
