public of France to occupy tho grand
stand at lie Grand Prix" the great day
Of the races, which comes on Sunday.
Such an invitation from the chief magis-

Is almost O command. But Gen. Grant,
replying in q note to tho president. said
In substances: 1T is not IN accordance
with the custom Of my countrymen or
with the spirit Of my religion to spend
Sunday in this way. therefore beg

Johnny Wards experience with cross
eyed men has been extremely narrowing
When the team was in Philadelphia
Ward sat in q quiet nook in the Con-
tinental hotel talking with Frank Rich
ter, the editor of Sporting Life. Tho
players were all In uniform and the bus
was waiting at the door. Now. Frank"
said Ward, II wish you would step out
on the sidewalk and sec If any GROSS eyed
men are about. They arc about the

the coast clear. Thereupon the players
all piled into the bus and rolled away.
Ward had middle seat, while Con
Daily sat back near the door. They
were scarcely block away from tho
hotel when tall, cross eyed negro
Jumped on the rear step Of the bus.
Con spied him In q moment. 'Dont

Four blocks further on little shock
headed urchin whose eyes were bent at
tentively on each side Of his nose sprang
upon the coach. Again Daily shrieked
ont a warning 10 Ward. and again the
offender was unceremoniously fred. On
the journey to the grounds four cross
eyed boys jumped on the steps, only TO-
meet with an untimely fate. The last
ono was o poor, hollow checked, con-
suInptive youth, but he was cross eyed
and was consequently sacrificed like the
rest upon the altar Of superstition. Upon
arriving ut the grounds Ward said %
Daily: econ, I don't feel right about all
those cross eyed Kids and I'm afraid to
put you in. You were the one who saw
them, you know. IguessP I'll put Cook in"
"Ali right, John" replied Daily.
A little later Ward threw superstition
to the winds and told Daily to go in and
catch. Brooklyn was overwhelmingly
defeated, and before the game was half
over Daily in sliding to second base
sprained his ankle SO badly that he was
laid up for ten days. Con finally recov-
sred, and when the team returned Ward
booked him to catch in = game with

II seems TO, be raining in London
Creat deal nowadays. AL tho young
ewells, and some who are old enough TO-
know better, go about in Cambridge and
frookline, and even in Boston, with ten
his trousers turned away up around the
bottom; and this whether tho weather is
wet or dry, OF whether they are walking
upon the grass or upon tho driest of side
walks. The trousers are simply to DO
turned UP at tho bottom, and that is all
there is OF it. Even the tailors and the
furnishers, when they expose the goods
for sale, exhibit thcln with tho bottoms
Turned up.
The turning up IL done in an artfully
careless way, and ono begins to suspect
that there il a secret about 1t that only
the born swell knows, 50 that the inn
properly turned up trousers betray tho
spurious article of swell. The trousers
are actually made long enough TO lie
upon tho ground, so that when they arc
turned up the edge will descend to the
ankle. This laoraly moderately amusing
fashion has no particular interest, but it
has occurred to mo that it will be an M
teresting item in the twenty.fourth or
fifth century to the sociological student
of the curious customs u the present
period. -Buston Transcript.

An Ola Trick I'm n Now Dress.


Street falirs have been reaping big
harvest from the salo of little glass walls
ike those used to hold homeopathic pei
hts. The yiaIs cost at wholesale frac-
ton of o cont apiece, and the faktrs have
been retailing them for five cents each.
Their value M street hawkers novelty
consists in the fact that d remarkably
funny practical joke can be played with
them. Each Of the little bottles now
being sold in the streets has small hole
drilled or blown in the bottom. When
filed with water and corked tightly the
vial will apparently be perfectly sound.
The water will not escape from the little
hole in the bottom of tho vial until the
cork is withdrawn from tho other end.
As soun as the cork is pulled out. how
ever, the water will run out Of the little
hole. ,.t'; ..'
1! The Joke consists in Offering filed
and corked bottle to the chosen victim
with the question, "Can you tell me
what that perfume is In that bottleF Az
first the victim attempts to smell 1t
through the cork. Failing to perceive
any odor III this way he naturally with
draws the cork. and the chances arc
about twenty to ono that the contents of
the bottle trichle down his coat sleeve
and wet his arm to tho elbow. Then the
perpetrator of the joke laughs fiendishly
and tho victim says: "By Jove, that is
the best thing Eve seen Yeti Where can
I get one:?' The tricl; is an old one, but
1t has probably never been sold before.

]. C. Page is the Oldest travelling man
in the country. Mr.. Page started out In
1852 with half dozen shoes In an old
fashioned handbag. He sought his first
order from former employer in Mont
pelicr, Vt This employer was Grean
mountain merchant of the regulation
type. He listened to the youthful and
ardent commercial traveller and then cx-
claimed: "Why, boy, do you think you
can sell shoes by samples" The youth
Thought he could. Aftor mature delib-
GRAFTON tho merchant remarked: "Wen,
Joel, don't believe you would deceive
me; you can send mo q box OF those
shoes" To any one who has not watch
ed the development of the boot and shoe
business and the rapid increase in the
number Of commercial travellers of all
classes every year this story must prove
interesting. That an avocation employ
ing hundreds Of thousands Of persons
every year, and with hundreds OF mill
ions Of dollars invested, could grow up
during one mans lifetime almost sur
passes bclief.-Kansas City Times.

Now is the time for inhabitants Of tho
rural. districts to conjure up the annual
thunder storm scare and invoke the
fhads Of Ben Franklin by converting
houses and barns into the semblance Of
colossal metallic porcupincs. Soothing
neighbors console them with jeers, but
perhaps erect wooden rods to scare away

rod agent. Something Is 10 be said on
both sides of the question. 1t is quite
certain that well grounded network Of
conductors will avert to very great ex-
tent danger from lightning. but it is ex-
tremely likely that the same result is not
attainable by the average rod that thrusts
its point few inches above the chimney
