Mary Ann and Her Guardian.

"Good mOrnin' Mrs. O'Raherty. An
have ye heard from Mary Ann since the
Cincinnati ball ?"
"Inda6e an have"
"An' did che dance as ee said she would
an as said she wouldn't ?"
"She did, faith an livery gintlemon she
danced wild called her the quane ov beauty
You know Mary Ann is so hilthy lookin'
an so very young for her age, an she
weighs $50 pounds now, an her boosts are
enarmOus; an she sez she wore one ov
thin fashionable dicOlitte dresses on the
occasion, an the commotion she did cause
was caution; the other fashionable ladies
became jealous an some did have to hold
their husbands back from Mary Ann as a
man would have to hold a bulldog back
from a-from another dog"
SIS she still goin' wild the New York
Copgrissman
Coin wild him! Faith an fwhat does
ye maine, Mrs. O'Flaherty, by sayin'
'goin' wild him? Sure an she do not be
goin' wild him at all at all-he do be goin'
wild her, which is quote a difference, I'd
have ye know; he's her guardian"
"Och, Mrs C'Flaherty, fwhat do ye be
given us? A girrul can't have guardian
Ontil her parents are aither dead or gone
crazy, an hope its naither ye are."
Faith, Mrs. OFlaherty, that shows how
very ignorant av the law ye be. Any girrul
afther she becomes a wage can have a
guardian if she wants wan, ESPECIALLY fwh n
she do be away from home; 50 that's all
there is av of it. an that's the way it is an
the way it ever has been an iver will be;
so put that in your pipe an shmoke it,"

Trimming a aJay's" Hair.


1 have patronized the same barber for
two years, and it goes very much against
the grain to have any other barber operate
upon me. He is an intelligent fellow, and
his conversation is neither listless nor
stupid. Entering the shop in hurry the
other day, took The chair next to his, for
he was engaged with another customer,
and I could not aft I'd to wait.
He was cutting a very luxuriant
head of hair, and as my new man
was preparing the materials to shave me, l
watched my own barber at his work. AS
watched him my hair began to stand on
end. In all my life never saw such hor-
rible grimaces as that barber was making.
His Jaws kept working simultaneously
with his shears; his tongue protruded from
his mouth, and his head kept nodding
backward and forward. He kept it up, a
grimace for every snip, and l watched him,
fascinated. l could not help asking him,
when we were both at liberty, why he
made such awful faces. 'Do you pull
faces like that when you are cutting my
haiI?" queried, because if you do you
can't cut it any more; l don't intend to let
you torture yourself ou my account"
"Torture nothin'," was his brisk response,
shat bloke's from the country-out from
Il wa, fancy. Whenever l cut the hair of
a Jay l gawp and gTunt and pull faces.
When l do that they think their head
must be full of hay or something, if it
makes me work 80 hard, and they ask for
a shampoo. That one didn't, though. He
was either onto me or else willing to 60
round with a sand-lot in his hair"

SELLING AIMEE,S EFFECTS.
PrOfusiOn of Rich Costumes and
Jewels Disposed of.
New York Tribune I

New York Tribune
If any person who was surprised to learn
that the favorite comic opera singer, Marie
Aimee, died comparatively poor is curious
to know how she spent the vast sums she
earned, that curiosity might have been
satisfied yesterday afternoon at Silo's sales
rooms. All the costumes, and their ac-
cessories, and the jewelry she had left in
this country were then sold, and reference
to the catalogue showed that there were
100 costumes worn in the many operas in
which che had appeared. 1t was stated
that these bad cost 100000, and, though
this was doubtless considerable exaggera-
ton, it is probable that the original aver
age outlay for each dress bad not been less
than $3.50 In addition to the dresses
there was a great collection of wraps,
stockings, tights, bonnets and hats, and
even wigs, trunks and make up" boxes
sold. The lots numbered $50.
The costumes were sold at prices ranging
between So and $50. A sealskin mantle
brought $87, and one of velvet, lined with
Russian fur, $3.50. There were no fewer
than six dozen pairs of silk stockings and
four dozen pairs of silk, satin and velvet
slippers. Much of the stage iewelry was
bought by Hermann, the magician, who
also bought trunkful of operatic scores
for $11 and diamond crescent for 1910.
A magnificent diamond pendant, set with
sixty stones, was sold for $3.50, and a
brooch and earrings of large black pearls
and diamonds, said to have been the gift of
the Gear, brought 81 300.

Too Salt for Cannibals.

The Maoris, like every other race in their
part of the world, INDUCED freely in canni-
bleism in the olden times, although they
long ago abandoned the habit The reason
for this practice is found in the fact-which
maintains, also, throughout most of the
islands of Oceanica-that their country,
until the arrival of Europeans introduced
pigs, cattle, and other domest tic animals,
possessed no mammals whatever and this
made meat, except that of the humane SUBJ
ject, impossible to attain. The Maoris
never ate theirs except when they were
hungry, and chiefly RECALLED themselves
upon the enemies who had been slain or
captured in battle. When the whites
came among them they cooked some indi-
viduals as an experiment, but generally
abandoned the practice as finding their
flesh to salt-the result, no doubt, of the
use of this condiment in most forms of
civilized food, the taste of which the
Maoria could not stand. Most of their
white captives, therefor, were kept as slaves,
ard were readily given up to any one wfo
would exchange an old musket or a dozen
cartridges fol them. Money they did not
care 70 not knowing its use, and regarded
sovereigns useful only to be pierced and
hung in the ears, being quite willing also
to exchaDg these for shillings, as b ing
trifie larger and regarded as more becoming.

Texas Companies Protest Against
Discrimination.

WASHINGTON, June IA To-day has
been set apart by the Interstate Commerce
Commission for the hearing OF the case OF
number of Texan ice companies versus the
Missouri Pacific, Texas & Pacific, Gulf,
Colorado & Santa Fe and Fort Worth q
Denver City railway companies. The petit
TONERS are engaged in the manufacture
and sale of ice in various cities in Texas
and charge respondents with uDjustly dis
eliminating against the petitioners In
freight rates from points in Missouri and
Colorado to points in Texas. They say the
rate on ice is out of all proportion to the
rate on other classes of freight, and that II
the roads be permitted to continue to
transport ice from the North at the low
rates now prevailing they cannot continue
to manufacture ice and sell it in competi-
ticn with that delivered.
When the case came up for hearing to
day no counsel appeared for complalnants,
and on the presentation of John 5. Blair,
who appeared for one of the respondents,
there was no merit in the case as 1t now
stood; that respondents could make no
through rates between the points named
and that the real parties to the contro-
versy who would be the proper respondents
in the case were not made party to the
complaint.
The Commissioner decided to postpone
the hearing 60 days, and will give an op-
portunity to complainants to make other
roads party to the complaint.

Postage Stamp Craze

Those who do not keep track of the
post-stamp craze can hardly realize how
the fad runs away with mans Judgment.
At a recent sale of rare postage stamps in
London a single British guinea stamp of
1856 brought $3.50, and was considered
cheap at that price. Some Russian stamps
are so rare that they will command almost
any price, and attempts are frequently
made to forge them. The great collection
of Philippe Ferrari. of Paris, contains q
quarter of million of stamps, and is
thought to be worth million dollars. Mr.
Philbrick recently sold his collection to NJ
Ferrari for $4,000, and Sir Daniel Cooper,
the we'll known Australian collector, has
sold his fine collection to the same collec-
tor for $4,000. The collection of the late
Duchess de Galliera is said to have cost
nesrly 100000, and the cost of the 5000
volumes in which it is contained was about
5000. At the Paris Mint there is re-
markable collection, while the Rothschild
collection in Paris is almost priceless in
value. Rare stamps sell at from $1OO to
81 900, and the collectors keep a close
watch on all the sales throughout the
world in or to secur the specimens they de-
sire. Altogether the craze represents
Fictitious value of millions of dollars.

CLARA BARTON.
The Red Cross at Mini.
tering to the Stricken People.


The presence of Clara Barton and her
assistants is felt every where in the flooded
district. They walk noiselessly about in
the church used as hospital, easing the
sufferiDgs of the wounded. Their advent
at Johnstown was a benediction. They
are ministering angels of Christian love
and pity.
Clara Barton is a native of Maine. She
was teacher in early life and founder of
some free schools in New Jersey. In 1854
she went to Washington to be clerk in
the government service. She resigned at
the outbreak of the war and went into the
hospital service. Clara Barton appeared
in Strasburg the morning after its capitu-
latiOn to the Germans with a scarlet cross
wrought in her sleeve, above the elbow
Her humane work was carried on in Paris
after the fall of the Commune. When the
Mississippi oveIfowed its banks in 1884,
Clara Barton appeared laden with relief
Her work in America, additional to what
has been mentioned, has relieved the suf
ferers of the Ohio floods, Michigan fires,
Charleston earthquake, Texas drought,
Mount Vernon tornado, and now the awful
calamity at Johnstown.
Clara Barton is president of the American
Red Cross. The Red Cross is a confedera-
tion of relief societies in different coun-
tries, acting under the Geneva Convention.
In Geneva is held once year a meeting of
the Society of Utility, which is the Inter
national Committee of the Red Cross. The
motto of the American branch of the or
ganiZatiOn is Relief in war, famine pesti-
lence and other national calamities"

The Eminent Photographer of Animal
Motion.

The Eminent Photographer of Animal
Motion.
Artistic London is excited at the wonders
shown by Mr.. Eadwesrd Muy bridge, OF the
University of Pennsy lvania. This gentle
man exhibited recently, at conversazione
of the Royal Society, by means of the
"Zoopraxiscope," with an electric lantern
and glass slides, pictures of moving figures
on screen, the originals being photographs
taken by him. The figures shown were
the size of life and enabled the spectators
to observe the facts of animal motion. Mr.
Muybridge made his first great hit as the
photographer of animal motion in 1872, in
California, when he made side picture of
horse trOtting at full speed. In 1886, by
directing a liberal number of cameras ar
ranged side by side in line parallel with
the path of the animals motion, at precise
intervals of time and distance, within very
few fractions of second, and with back
ground divided into very small marked
squares Of space, to the animal as it passes
along, he first obtained an accurate record
of actual movements. This describes
the achievements and results which are
interesting cultivated London in high de-
gree. In 1882 Mr.. Muy bridge lectured on
his special pursuit in the Royal Academy,
the Royal Institution, the Society of Arts,
and the Government Schools of Science and
Art at South Kensington, London, and to
the artists of Paris. The next year the
University of Pennsylvania endowed a
branch under Mr.. Muybridge's superin-
tendance, connection which still con-
tinues. There are about 800 plates in the
portfolio produced under the arrangement,
the successive phases of single
action of human figures, draped or nude.
walking, running jumping, dancing. fight
ing, working, or playing; horses, trotting,
ambling, galloping, or lsaping;
mules, asses, oxen, dogs and cats, goats,
lions elephants, camels, buffaloes, and deer;
pigeons, flying eagles, vultures, ostriches,
cranes. and other birds. Copies of these
plates are owned by many eminent persons
and institu tions, both American and
foreign.

An Intelligent Dog.

Col Stevenson, Of Fairview Conn, has a
very intelligent dog named Point. The
dog has often been held up to the tele-
phone and has become accustomed to listen
to it. The other evening when the tele-
phone rang, Point dashed up and barked
as usual. The call was from Hartford, an
nOuncing the result of the great railroad
battle in the Legislature, and the defeat of
the cause with which the animals master
was 80 prominently identified. The con-
versation was carried on for some minutes.
Point seemed wrapped in attention until
word came that the vote stood 1876 to
103 against the petition, at which iuncture
Point put his tail between his legs, uttered
a howl, and raa out into the back yard.
An ejaculation of dismay and disappoint-
ment had preceded this action of the ami,
NAL and probably gave him his cue He
lay down under cedar tree, and no per-
suasion " Ould induce him to re-enter the
house. He refused to eat or drink, lay out
all night, and would not be consoled until
his owner came home the next day and
told him it was all right.

An Awful Struggle With a Small &C."

An Awful Struggle With a Small "e.''
Washington Post.1
Wee ar haveing eny amount OF troubi
with tn miserabl littl letter "e." 1t seems
determined to spoil our calculations. 1t
pops into words where we have no inten-
tion of putting it, and it pops out OF words
where we most want it to appear. Only
last week when we had something to say
about the word "diplomate" the measly
little sc" absented itself from the word in
two or three places elsewhere in the paper
and made us feel as mean as if we had
reached in the dark for coOkey and run
our arm to the elbow into jar of pre-
serves. But that is not the worst OF 1t.
We can bear our own woes with some little
grace, for we are more or less accustomed
to them, but the vicious little
"en has now taken to assaultiDg
our friends and helpers. Mr.. Samuel
Yorke At Lee, in learned communication
about words to yesterdays Post scripts,
tried to say that "deoennium" is the proper
word to use where decade" is commonly
misused. Was Mr.. At Lee permitted to
say what he meant? Not at all. The
drafted "e" metamorphUsed, transmitted or
metempsy chosed itself into an "a" and set
Mr.. At Lee up as one who says "decan-
mum" signifies period of ten years. We
are going to talk to this letter "a" We
are going to plead with it, threaten it; yea
we are going to yank it out of its socks and
kick it up through its collar if it doesn't
quit treating our friends in this unwar-
rantable manner.

Canine FOrethOught.
Boston Tran5cript.l


Rex, Ia Gordon setter, slept habitually
in his masters bedroom, and was always
given piece of bread to appease any posi-
BILE hunger or entertain him during his
night-watches. The mistress of the house
occasionally uttered an unavailiDg protest
against this practice, but at last an absence
of the dogs master occurring, the mistress
thought the opportunity for teaching him
better manners had come. So, on the first
night Rex was ordered upstairs without
the usual tidbit The mistress was not
without pity for the dog, for she was as
devoted to his welfare and happiness as
any one could be, but the thought that a
short and severe discipline would effect
the reform, prevented her from weakly
yielding to his evident loneings. Early the
next evening Rex appeared hungry, and
was given piece of bread, with which he
retired contentedly to a corner and in
few minutes returned 70 his pace with the
family. When the hour for retiring came
Rex was called with some trepidation, lest
the previous nights experience must be
repeated; but he rose with alacrity, disap-
peared for an instant, and emerged from
the darkness with the piece of bread,
which he had taken care to provide for his
nights repast.

hands were lo ling about deck grumbling
and whistling for breeze. had just
gone aloft, and standing upon the top
gallant cross-trees with my body resting
upon the royal yard, was looking off on

spring out of the water, followed by q
dolphin, and both made straight for the
ship. When they arrived at the vessel
the dolphin went under and the flying fish
went over. dropping square into the dol
phin's mouth as he struck the water on
the other side. The ship drew eighteen
feet of water and was only about nine feet
above water. So l say in this case the
dolphin was the swifter fish,"
