We remember how we loved thee
When the cars shot Off ihe track;
But we cursed the driver loudest,
And we wished he'd eot the whack.
Sweet the memory of the mule team;
Patient mule, adieu FAREWELL

The Speed of Insects.

1t has been computed that the COM
mon house fly, in ordinary flight,
makes 600 strokes per second and
advances twenty-five feet, but that
rate of speed, if the insect be
alarmed, may be increased six or
seven fold, SO that under certain cir
cumstances it "a outstrip the ~fleetest
race horse. 1t is no uncommon thing
to see a bee or wasp endeavoring to
get in at the window of n railroad
train in full speed, and it is calculated
that If a small insect can fly faster than
q race horse can run, an insect as large
as a horse would be able to travel as
fast as a cannon ball.
Ieunwenholk relates an exciting
chase which he beheld in a menagerie,
100 feet long, between a swallow and
a dragon ly-among the swiftest of
insects. The insect flew with incred-
IDLE speed, and wheeled with such ad-
dress that the swallow, in spite of its
utmost efforts, completely failed to
overtake and capture it. A pigeon
fancier of Hamme, in Westphalia, re-
Gently made a wager that n dozen
bees liberated three miles from their
hives would reach it in better time
then q dozen pigeons would reach their
cote from the same distance. The
competitors were given wing at Ry-
bern, a village nearly a league from
Hamme, and the first bee reached
home a quarter of a minute in advance
Of the first pigeon. Three other bees
reached the goal before the second
pigeon, the main body of both detach-
ments finishing almost simultaneously
an instant later. The bees, it may be
mentioned, had been handicapped in
the race, having been rolled in flour
cation. According to Chabrier, the
male of the silkworm moth tray
els upward of 100 miles in one day,
and there are many of our British
moths, as entomologists well know,
which al cover long distances in an
Incredibly short space of time.-St

The queerest fee l ever heard Of"
said a member of the bar, 'and n fee
that shows the soft side Of a lawyer,
was the one given all in pennies,
newsboys' pennies to boot, 10 ex-Judge
Curtiss, or taken by him, rather,
when he went out to Pittsburg TO de
fend his friend William n. Riddle
from the charge of encouragement
of the funds of Riddles bank. 1t was
just ninety-eight cents, that fee was,
and those ninety-eight pennies were
gotten together in this way: Mr.. Rid
die, who is now n prosperous broker
here, was in his Pittsburg days one of
the wealthiest and most liberal men in
that town. Every Christmas he gave
the newsboys a dinner which cost him
a thousand or two. The boys all loved
him; they all called him Billy as in
deed half the people in Pittsburg seem
ed to do. When the news came out
in an afternoon paper one day that
there was trouble in Riddles bank
1t was another official there, a man
high up in politics and society, who
ruined 1.-THE newsboys began TO re-
alize that perhaps their friend Billy
was in trouble, too. They knew that
money cures many things, and after a
moments consultation half a dozen of
them took up a collection. A spokes-
man was appointed. He hurried into
the bank, handed a tiny brown paper
parcel to Mr.. Riddle with the simple
words, Here, Billyp and was gone.
That brown paper contained the nine
ty-eight cents. Riddle wouldn't have
taken thousands for them. Afterward,
when he was tried and acquitted
through ex-Judge Curtiss' most elo-
quent presentation of the facts, the
judge wouldn't take any fee from his
old friend except that tiny brown par

An actor was telling the story of
the first appearance on the stage of
Charles Dickson, the well known
comedian. Dickson, it seems, had
been engaged at Niblo's as a supernu-
merary in a war drama. His father,
who is q Hebrew, attended the OPEN
ing performance, accompanied by a
party of friends, who were prepared to
see in my poy Sharlie" another For
rest.
The curtain fell on the first act and
the fond father explained the fact that
''depoy" had ailedtodoanythingm moro
than stand still and hold a musket
wrong side foremost by saying in a
stage whisper that no really great act
ors ever did any thing to speak of at
the beginning of a play. "Yust you
wait" said he, land l show got some
dings." But when the curtain fell
again without any palpable evidence
having been given by which he could
convince his companions that his sor
was possessed of the spark of genius
Mr.. Dickson grew uneasy.
Atlast, toward the end of the third
act, goaded almost out of his mind by
the taunts of his friends, he rose in his
seat, and at the top of his voice shout.

Tn. Demon ss.er.

George Wilson, a well known cow
boy, tells the following story:
There has roamed on the ranges ad-
jacent to the Platte and Laramie rivers,
for these many years, a mastodon wild
steer whose aggressiveness and power
make him the dread of every round
up outfit This combative beef bears
not a brand, but no "rustler" dares
appropriate him.
The demon steer" as the pugna-
cious brute is called, knows no fear,
and with lowered head, glistening eyes
and sonorous below will charge upon
anything in his course. Time upon
time he has been rounded up with his
comparatively docile companions, but
he invariably rushes past the line ri
ders IS if no such obstruction to his
fight existed. Once a CY outfit de-
termined to effect the capture of the
big fellow, but after he had gored two
horses and scared the wits from half
a dozen riders, the undertaking was
abandoned.
This prairie terror only last season.,
in a fit of rage at those who dared to
intrude on the peaceful solitude of the
range, charged at midday into camp,
creating a panic, to which was ideal
quleLneSS lne CHATTER 1nclQent 10 the
stampede of the tabled bull in the china
shop. There was a scattering OF equi-
page and a disordered flight of the
diners. One of these latter was SO in
censed that, contrary to orders, he sent
a six shooter ball after the massive
steer, but the missive flew wide its
mark.
Wilson asserts that he will under
take to prove that the demon steer
killed a large bear in a fair fight ON
the Sybille three years ago, and the
cowboys will bet all their earthly be-
longings that the demon steer can con-
quer any bull in the territory. The
combat with the bear was a terrific
affair. Bruin was forced to the defen-
sive from the first, and for a time
pluckily met the fearful onslaughts of
the fighting steer, jarring the great
form with blows from his paws. The
activity of the steer was marvellous.
He played around his antagonist as the
sparrer apnoys his foe, and at nearly
every charge ran his long, sharp horns
into the bleeding sides of the bear with
the wicked swish" which accompanies
an effective sword thrust.
Wilson thinks the demon steer will
die of old age. The man who attempts
his CAPTURE takes his life in his hands.

Princes live well in Paris, and the
ordinary human in Paris a either live
like a prince or as cheaply as anywhere
IN the world You a get a table d'hote
dinner in the students quarter of a half
dozen courses for a franc, or you can
go to Bignon's and pay 900 per cover.
You a get the most delicious coffee
and rolls served in your bedroom with
dainty pats Of fresh butter, for fifty
confines, or a bowl of bouillon and a
roll on n street corner for thirty CEN
times OF about even cents. The choc-
olate, the coffee, the bread and rolls,
the vegetables, the ice creams and the
confectionery and fancy cakes are a
revelation to Americans. II you un-
derstand how TO order a dinner and
know the French language, you can
live better in Paris, and for less money,
than in any other city on the habitable
globe.
One must know something about
Paris restaurants, however. 1t is not
because the restaurants are bad, for
they are not. And it is not that the
keepers are any more anxious to fleece
strangers than restaurant keepers gen
orally are, for they are mot, in the
main. The trouble is that many yisi
tors TO Paris do not use proper discre
ton in heir choice of eating places.
There is nowhere a greater diversity
of eating houses than in Paris. You
can find any kind of a restaurant and
any grade Of prices. You can geta table
d'hote dinner for a little more than q
franc twenty cents, or you a dine
in one Of the palatial cafes at 500 a
plate. You pay your money and you
take your choice. Again, if you like
English cooking, there are also restau-
rants where you can get it, and there
are German-American, Irish-Ameri.
can, Russian and Roumanian restau-
rants. Unless one knows the ropes he
will have TO steer clear of the la carte
restaurants, Their food is good, but
their prices are high, extravagantly
high.-New York Star.

How He'd Teach.

In one of the asylums where are
kept those unfortunates who know so
much that their fellow mortals are
forced in self defense TO regard them
as lunatics was an old gentleman who
in his day had been somewhat famous
as a teacher. He had been at the
head of a school for boys in which
had been educated some of the leading
men Of his part of the country, and il
may have been the strain of training
their unusually brilliant intellects that
had so married his own. He was a
harmless, pleasant old gentleman,
only now and then doing anything
which gave trouble TO those about
him, and most of his time he passed
in celebrating theories in regard to the
best methods of education. His theo-
ries had not always the advantage of
being practicable, but they were gem
orally at least ingenious, and it would
be rash to say that they were not wise,
since they have not yet been tried.
Il have been thinking a good deal
lately" he observed on one occasion,
''of the difficulty we have nowadays
in teaching boys the languages There
is an awful sight of work wasted
somewhere, and / have concluded
mo aiNS al We AAhh0 "a kAOaN INSTANT
in not going back TO the Bible method
after all"
The Bible method7" repeated his
nearer. what is that, Mr.. HI"
why, don't you remember how
they learned the languages in the BIZ
blef They just built a big tower and
then they all got struck with the Ian
guages without any further trouble"
1t is a pity hat no note has been
made of the effect upon the linguistic
powers of the workmen which has
been made by the erection OF the
Eiffel tower, for here was an oppor-
tunity of putting Mr.. HIS theory to a
practical test.
On another occasion he spoke OF
the attempt to invent flying ma
chimes, and observed with the greatest
solemnity:
'The way to learn TO fly is to eat
worms. It's the wiggle in worms
that does it, and If l wanted to teach
boys to fly / should make them eat
worms. 1t is in this way providence
intended them to learn" Boston Cou-
rier.
