Tricl<inG Bogus Critics.

a st. Paul gentleman, who many years
ago was a resident of Cincinnati, tells a
story concerning Powers, the sculptor,
which has probably never been in print.
There were Mt that time in Cincinnati
two or three connoisseurs in art who as
sumcd a sort of general censorship in
such matters, and everything hat they
said concerning works of art was sup
posed 10 go" They had u~nfavorabfy
criticised some of Powers work, and, MS
he did not take much stock in their die
tations anyway, he decided to show them
up to the art people of the city. He was
working some in wax and announced "a
reception at which he would show some
of tho latest products of his genius.
Among the figures was one represent
ing the mayor of the city. 1t stood in n
niche by itself, with the light arranged
for the best effect. The high mucka-
muclSs of the art world of Cincinnati at
tended the reception. They examined
tho figure of the mayor and made COM
mont on it. Tho hands" remarked one,
do not reveal any anatomy" THE legs
arc Il triilc short" said another, but
otherwise ! consider it n very fine
figure" And so they went on. One of
them finally discovered that something
was wrong about the bridge of the nose,
and raised his hand to point out the dc
feet. Damn yen, don't you pinch my
nose, - cried the alleged wax ''fgurc' to
their astonishuncut. dismay and complete
overthrow as art critics. The sculptor
had induced the real live nave to help
him in his little scheme..St. Paul

A Lifelong Love.

William Warren, the veteran come
dial of the Boston museum, had q ro-
nance that a newspaper writer has Just
made public. Few persons" says he,
ARE aware that this comedian, the mer-
riest of the merry, carried "a lifelong
hunger in his heart In their earlier
years William Warren and Adelaide
Phillips were lovers. The latter had a
father of the Eccles type. When mar
r1age was proposed to her she made this
answer:
81 love you, and because 1 love you 1
will not marry you This old man, my
father, Is helpless-a sore trial, in truth
and he must look to me while he lives.
| would not purchase my own happiness
by adding to your burden. Let US wait,
and If the good years TO come bring
fruition OF our hopes we will live for
each other then. Meanwhile l shall not
cease to love u nor will / marry any
other man, let the end be what it may"
The lovers went their ways. Father
Phillips, though he abated not a jot of
his devotion to gin, lived on and on.
Young Adelaide grew to old womanhood
and the great comedian went on the list
of honored veterans of whom the world
speaks with respect. Still their love
survived, and when at last their weary
waiting ended, and they once more took
up the old question, both found that op-
portunity was come too late.
They had grown old In singleness;
had formed ineradicable habits; neither
had many years longer to remain, and
well, they would live out their lives in
the way they had followed for a genera
ton, and trust to the eternal future to
bring them realization of their early
dream. Adelaide Phillips went first,
the strong base and building of her love-
mistaken TO the last. And now the
other, who, like Philip Ray, had waited
all his life, has found the meaning there
is in the august experience of a change
of worlds" brooklyn Eagle.

of planks 8 inches thick and 81 feet in

Burn old shoes and the snakes will
squirm away from that place.
Shoes must never be put on n shelf
higher thar the head of the wearer.
To keep shoes, even after they are past
wearing, will keep good luck about a
place.
II you stub the right toe you will be
welcomed; if you unfortunately stub
the left you may know that you aren't
wanted.
Burnt shoe soles and feathers are good
to cure n cold in the head, say old aunt
les, and parched shoe soles and hogs
hoofs is n good mixture also for coughs.
The older dusky maids believe that
when their shoes come united and keep
coming united it is n true sign that their
sweethcarts arc talking and thinking
about them. Q
Good luck to the child who draws on
her stocking wrong side out. If she

ance that the child will soon have brand

A Remarkable Chess PLAYER.

In America there are ladies who make
n livelihood by teaching the principles of
the social game of whist. In Russia
there is a lady known to English chess
circles who. to use an Americanism,
beats them hollow. She is a chess
player whose father, once a wealthy
land wner of the south of Russia, lost
all his fortune over the chess board.
His daughter, now Madame Lavroffsky,
when still a young girl, was seized with
the liked idea of winning it back in the
in which 1t was lost. She
studied the game with unexampled as
siduity under her fathers guidance, and
In time became a past master, or mis-
tress, therein. Then she began her
career as a professional. She has since
then amassed n considerable fortune,
playing to large stakes, and lately mar.
ried M. Lavroffsky, also a lover of chess.

Exchanged wives for Better or Worse.

In Washington county two married
couples were living only a short distance
apart, and by neighborly intercourse
each man became enamored of the
others wife, while the ladies soon
learned to love the others husband, and
thus became estranged from their first
love. When matters took this shape it
came to be noticeable by all concerned,
and many evenings passed while each
husband was at the others house pour
ing out his tale of love and fidelity into
the willing ears of the listeners. Finally
one OF the husbands, a little holder than
h other, proposed an exchange. This
was met with gladness by all the parties
interested, and the proposing party con-
sented to the trade on condition that the
other would allow him IS in cash and
seven bushels of Quaker peas. This va,
readily consented to, and the trade was
made, each wife going to the others
home, carrying with her the children,
and are now living in the sweetest do
mestic felicity. They will try to have
the courts make the trade legal.-At-

A fox hound belonging to Capt. Mark
Percy, of Cox's Head, near Fort Popham,
chased a fox for two days. The dog
was seen In pursuit of the fox several
times during the two days, and his deep
baying was frequently heard. Finally
the fox tired out, and fell to the ground
exhausted. The dog, knowing that he
had not sufficient strength left to fight
the fox, sat down near him and watched
him. In this condition the fox and the
hound were found by a man who lived
near, and the fox was SO exhausted that
the man easily killed him with a club

1t has long been known that rails of
tracks in actual use oxidate much slower
than those of dead tracks, but SO far no
satisfactory explanation has been found.
". Spring, in The Bulletin of the Royal
Belgian academy, shows that this Is due
to the formation of n coating of mag
netic oxide of iron under the influence Of
humidity and pressure. In order to
prove the correctness of this view, Mr..
Spring has brought moistened rust and
q clean plate of iron under a pressure of
from a thousand to twelve hundred at
mospheres, which corresponds to that of
the wheels of locomotive of a thousand

The Traffic in Indian Girls.

When questioned about the allegations
of Mrs. E. B. Voorhees, concerning the
outrageous traffic in Indian women in
Alaska, Bishop Vladimir, of the Russian
Orthodox church, just returned from
Sitka, said: Though 1 went on another
mission /, of course, heard of the system
of office contract, as it is there termed.
There are a large number of miners,
shop keepers, factory hands and persons
in similar pursuits in different parts of
the Alaskan territory, and 1 was told
that they were most immoral. They
usually have no wives of their own, SO
they go to depraved Indians, buy their
young daughters for money or liquor,
and after living with the poor girls a
while cast them adrift."1San Francisco

Treason-Now "Catch Your Hare"
PARIS, Aug. 13-Upon the opening of the
Senate to-day the members of the Right de-
clined to take further part IL the proceed
ings in the case of Gen. Boulanger. The
court discussed at length its course of pro-
cedure and its competency to try Gen. Bou-
LANCER. 1t was finally decided by vote of
POI to that the court was competent to try
the General on all the counts of the indict-
ment. Two of the Senators refrained from
voting The court then, by 2O6 votes, found
the General guilty of conspiracy. Six of
the Senators did not vote. The court then
found Count Dillon and NJ. Rochefort
guilty of completely in the plot. 1t also
decided by a vote of 19S to 10 that Bou-
LANCER was guilty of q reasonable attempt
against the state III connection with the
license depot incident.
The state council has annulled the elec-
tions in twelve cantOns in which Gen. Bou-
LANCER was elected to the Councils-gener
on the ground that the General was not
legally eligible for the position. Gen. Bou-
LANCER has written letter in which he
states that he gave the sums of money
which he is accused of embezzling to the
chief clerks in the War Office to be used for
the relief of widows and orphans of SOL
diers. Five dodgers in the house of Madame
Pourpres, the former mistress of Gen. Bou-
LANCER, have sworn that the General was in
Paris on July 15 1887, the day on which it
is alleged he visited the city in disguise.
