Before and After.

A few days ago as Ridge Road car
was coming up Lake avenue, the driver
stopped on being signaled by a young
man on crossing not far from Driving
Park avenue, says the Rochester Democrat.
The young man was accompanied by a
rather pretty young woman, who was
dressed in light, airy summer attire,
and carried fancy -colored sun parasol.
The young man jumped aboard the car
first, and rushed inside, securing the
only seat vacant, leaving the young
woman to follow as best she could. OF
course every one expected that he would
give up his seat to his lady, but he did
not do SO, and she, after standing awhile
holding on to strap, concluded to have
a seat anyway, and, without o word OF
warning, pumped down on the lap OF
her escort, saying as she did so: "I'm
as tired as you are, darling, and you will
have to hold me until | get a seat"
He gave grunt of the hog kind, and
told her in plain English that "she
could stand or sit on the floor for all he
cared, but he would not hold her," At
this several male occupants of the car
offered their seats to the young woman,
but she declined their offer and said
HE is as able to hold me now as he was
before we were married, and l will sit
here where I am" The passengers were
up to this time silently smothering then
laughter, but the last was too much fol
them, and as one remarked: "Ihe chi
will be thrown off the track if we don't
stop laughing SO hard" Realizing the
fact that he was making target of him
self, the young man rose hastily, nearly
throwing his darling wife on the floor
and made rush for the door, saying as
he did so: ''You take my seat; I'll walk
home" and left the car. The wife was
not dismayed in the least, but sat there
quietly enjoying the fun as well as did
the rest of the passengers.

Died of a Broken Heart.

One of the inmates of the county Jail
at Winona, Mimi, Robert Dillon, died
from broken heart ON Sunday evening
in the jail building. The story of his
fate is sad one. he came to Wfnona
IS years ago, at which time he was
known to be engaged to be married to
very estimable young lady of Peoria, III.
He was once engaged by William Hayes,
and afterward by others OF the leading
business houses as q booAkeoper, aud
made friends fast, but jealous rival
circulated malicious stories about him,
prejudicing his intended bride against
him until he was rejected. He took to
the cup and drank freely, until finally
he could not do without it. He started
n saloon about two years ago, and last
spring was found guilty OF selling liquor
to Indians. He was bound over to tho
fall term of the United States Circuit
Court by Commissioner Berry, and in
default of bail he was committed to The
Jail, where he died broken hearted in
sad condition, and unmOurned save by
his friends among the prison inmates.
His mother is a highly-respected lady,
lives ut Xenia, Ohio, and is in good cir,

WHAT HE GOT.
Easily Tanned.

On account of its timidity and the
great ease with which it can be tanned,
the cobra is the only snake with which
the snake-charmers of India will have
anything to do. By attracting its at,
tention with one hand, it may be easily
seized round the body with the other;
and SO long as the hand or any other
object is kept moving before its eyes, it
will never turn to bite the hand that
holds it. This is the simple fact, the
knowledge Of which the charmers turn
to such advantage in their well-known
performances. The snake is taken fl 1om
its basket, and a slight stroke across the
back brings it at once into defensive
attitude. The constant motion of the
musical instrument before the snake
keeps it watchful and erect, and not the
music produced. As matter of fact,
snakes have no external ears, and it is
extremely doubtful whether the cobra
hears the music ut ALL The charmers
say that the adder of the East, the
Ddb0io, has no ear for music, because
they cannot operate on it as they do on
the cobra. 1t is rather interesting to
note that this has been the belief since
David's time at least" Like the deaf
adder that stoppeth her ear; which will
not hearken to the voice of charmers."

Furnishing the Gods in China.

A funny story illustrative of Celestial
simplicity Cor superstition) comes from
Foochow in China There is a joss
house or temple i'll that city to which
persons of q revengeful disposition are
wont to resort when desirOus of obtain
ing satisfaction for an injury, the dieties
there being credited with the power to
cause instant death to those against
whom their aid is invoked. After the
death of the late Tartar Generai-the
cause of which appears to have been
rather mysterious-thes supposition that
he had fallen q victim to these particu-
lar josses was started by one of the gen
try, and the Viceroy thereupon gave in
structions for an inquiry to be held into
the matter. The Taotai was commits
stoned to see the order carried out, and
he went to the temple and arrested fif-
teen of the josses. These idols are of
wood about five feet in height. Before
being taken into the presence of the
Taotai their eyes were put out in order
that they might not see who was their
Judge, so that they might not be able to
identify him in the realms above or be-
low-wherever they go. After an inves-
tigation areport of the case was sent to
the Viceroy, who at once gave orders
that the josses should be decapitated
and then cast into pond! Yet withal,
China claims to be o civilized country.

A Story OF a Spen1thrift.

Among the "reminiscences of George
Law was one referring to unique way
which he practised some years ago OF
killing time. "By some hook or crook,
a friend of the millionaire said, "George
discovered that twelve or fifteen cats
gathered in the rear of Mazetti's old
restaurant in Fourteenth street to catch
any odds and ends that were thrown out
of the kitchen window. Mazetti's was q
great hobby of George Laws for time,
and he often gave dinner parties there
that the old Italian charged 5000 or $500
for without changing hair. Georges
party finally dwindled down until only
two composed it, and George and his
companion used to go down to Mazetti' s
on summer evening to an Italian dinner
and order all the woodcock there was in
the place. They would eat the choice
portions of the woodcock as they sat
near the window and then whizz the re-
mains out into the yard aud watch the
cats fight for it by moonlight. Pugilism
was slack then, and it was the next
thing to it that Mr.. Law could find. The
cats would sit in small circle, with
their eyes turned hungrily toward the
window, and the instant the wOodcOck
was thrown to them they would spring
in the air, and when the lucky cat had
got it his work had only begun. 1t was
an exhilarating pastime, and l cannot
say [ think it was bad fun, when you
consider how monoto2ous the ordinary
run of amusements must be with $780,
900 year and no liking for the thea

The Bliss of Ignorance.

She walked into fashionable shoe
store and said to the polite clerk:
"You may show me pair of walking
boots No. 4. [ used to wear 3's, but /
go in for solid comfort now"
The clerk tried ON the boots, but they
would not go on.
"Strange," she murmured, ''it must
be rheumatism. Try As, B width.
know l can swim in them, but my feet
are so tender.
While the clerk was getting them on
she said:
81 used to have beautiful foot, not
small, but such good shape. / never
had n small foot, but wore 81 sizes for
years until walked so much and grew
heavier"
''Your foot is peculiar shape, the in
step is so high-that is why you require
large size, " said the clerk, who had no
fear of Ananias before his eyes.
"Ive heard" she said, {" that Venus
dee Medeechy wears No. 5 and she is
model of true proportion"
EXACTLY, said the clerk growing red
in the face as he pulled and tugged to
get them on. He had never heard of
''dee Medeechy," but he was up to q
trick or two himself. "After all" he
said, ''these are too large. You'll find
the As just right"
He was only gone moment, but in
that time he had erased 5E from the in
side of a pair of shoes and substituted
Alb.
"There, 1 thought it was strange"
she said when they were on and paid
for: "why, those are just as easy as my
old ones, / believe 1 could just as well
have had 3's after ALL" And the young
man.without a-conscience went back to
his duties with the air of one well salts

"MOther's jack"

After a tramp of mile and q half
across the sandy neck of land we struck
the ocean beach, and here we got the
sight in ali its grandeur. A northeaster
had been blowing for forty hours, and
the ocean was lashed to fury. One needs
to be down at level with the surface to
They came laundering in fifteen feet
high-solid walls of green water, with
crowns of am, and when they broke
the crash was like the fall of q great
building. Fifty feet above high tide line
the water raced aftfr every fall, and as
far as one could see down the beach
these were great balls of foam being
whirled along inland by the gaze. It was
useless to shout to each other. The gale,
against which we would scarcely stand
and which now and then blew US fiat
down, would have drowned the report
of cannon. But the awe was too strong
upon us for speech. Nature was fight
ing herself. She had let loose one ter
ror to battle with another, and the sight
was terrific.
By and by, as cleared my eyes again
of the spray, saw something heave up
OIL q great wave. The others saw it, too,
and pointed it out. 1t disappeared for

over and over, and when the waters re-

give to their dead. We dragged the

A Snake Struck by Lightning.

During the thunder storm that visited
Crescoville the other day maple tree
in front of Miner Crescos residence was
struck by lightning. The only damage
done to the tree was the chipping of a
pi ce out of the trunk, as if it had been
done by an axe, about midway between
the ground and the lower branches.
After the storm was over Mr. Cresco
went out to look at the tree. On the
ground at the foot Of the tree lay an i'm
mense blacksnake, dead, holding in its
mouth young robin. There was n
robin s nest in the tree and it was known
to have had three young ones in it the
day before. A boy climbed the tree and
found two young robins in the nest alive
and lively. 1t is supposed that the

ed birds, and was descending the trunk
as it was struck by lightning and was

TERMS S1.5O.
ODD WEDDING RINGS.
THIS Sort Weighs Thirty Pounds and
is Never Taken Off

Lieutenant Won Francois. the Afr;c-
an explorer, has recently described a
strange custom among the b ,yanzi who
live for many miles along the Uppey
Congo, says the New York Sun, The
custom would seem to make life good
deal of q burden to their married women
Brass rods, which are the favorite cur
rency OF the country, are welded into
great rings around the necks of the
wives. Many of these rings worn by the
women whose husbands are well to do,
weigh as much as thirty pounds, and
this burden must be carried around by
the poor women as long as they live.
"Frequently," says Lieutenant Won
Francois, ore sees poor woman whose
neck is raw and sore under the heavy
weight and i'll places the skin is rubbed
off by The ring. This is a sure sign
that the ring has been recently welded
around her neck, for after time the
skin becomes calloused, and then the
strange ornament produces no abrasion.
But the weight is an inconvenience; they
never get used to it. And it is perpet-
ual tax upon their energies. In every
crowd of women may be seen number
who are supporting the ring with their
hands, and thus for time relieving their
weary shoulders of the heavy burden. 1t
may be said that with every movement
Of their bodies the rings give them dis
comfort
ga ring is never put around a wo-
mans neck until she is believed to have
attained her full physical development.
Once on it is no easy matter to get it
off. The natives have no such thing as
file, and though they can hammer lot
of brass rods into one, it is very difficult
for them to cut the thick mass of metal
in two. Women who increase largely in
flesh after the rings have been fastened
on their necks are in danger of strang-
ling to death, and instances of this sort
have been known to occur.
"Yet these women regard the cum
brous ornament with pride, imagine
that it enhances their Importance and
beauty and wear their burden with light
hearts. Brass is the money of the coun-
ry,and by putting it around their wives
necks the men are pretty certarn that it
won't be stolen OF foolishly expended.
But it is an odd and cruel sort of savings
bank" +"
