when much younger han l am
now" said an old newspaper man, 81
sold sewing machines. You may rest as
sured l vas a trihe fresh, and suffered
therefor, as the following adventure will
show: Near the close of a hot August
day / was driving through the village Of
C. to the town where l made my
headquarters. Suddenly a big black
cloud appeared in the sky, and when my
played out horse had covered half a mile
the rain came dancing down. / had two
machines on and no blanket. To ave
myself and machines from getting
drenched l drove for the only house
within a radius of a mile.
81 was a sorry sight when / reached
that old country mansion half hidden by
tall naples. Jumping out, l knocked at
the door and explained that | would like
to leave my machines temporarily, in
order to save them from the storm. Be
fore l made the request l discovered that
the young lady who responded L my
knock was one with whom, much against
her will, l had left a machine on trial a
month or two before, and had only taken
it back after repeated protestations on
her part that she did not want it. You
understand. we used to get n machine
into a house by representing that we
would leave it On trial.
but once we got into the house we in
sisted on its being bought, and used every
persuasive art to accomplish that result.
Frequently this was very embarrassing
to the lady of the house, and she never
forgave us for the annoyance of leaving
the machine for weeks and asking her
every other day if she wouldn't buy,
when she had emphatically declared she
would not. Now was the turn of the
young lady in the old fashioned house
to get square. And although the rain
had nearly washed the machines out Of
the wagon, she slammed the door in my
face and then sat by the window enjoy
ing my discontinue to her hearts con-
tent. AS l prepared to drive away /
turned my head and beheld her pretty
lace bubbling over with smiles. When
l reached " was n sight to behold.
But the experience cured my freshness"

entertaining magnificently at Madrid.
Mrs. Palmer is a millionaire, and she
and the senator are the most accom-.
plished entertainers at the capital. Their
house here cost 49,, 900, and they have a
china dinner service which Is worth its
weight in silver. Senator Palmer bought
this at Paris just before he came mere to
take his seat in the senate, and Gen.
Cutcheon was present at the house ut
the time this china was opened. He
saw that it was very fine and he asked
Palmer how much the plates cost. The
enato replied: II paid s35 apiece for
them, m when | bought them in Paris
Mrs. Palmer objected, saying, Thomas,
do you think we can afford to use such
expensive dishes as these?' 20, yes, my
dear said /. i want the best thing /

these every day, and / want as far as

The story Of Tamagno's engagement is
an interesting one. He was singing at
Rio Janeiro ut the time Mr.. Abbey took
Patti there. She was commanding SEQ
a seat every night, and the great tenor
was packing an opposition house at Sl2
n seat. Patti heard him sing at n mat
inee and Immediately insisted that Mr..
Abbey should engage him for the short
season with her. Tamagno did not take
kindly to the proposition, but an offer of
81 900 a performance caught him. Mr..
Abbey guaranteed him 500, 600 for fifty
appearances, but the great manager
could not work in more than forty-four
appearances; but T~amagno took back
500, 900 in American money, the same
as though he had sung fifty times.-Chi-

There is a great deal in the papers on
the fact that Sir Provo Wallis has en-,
tered the hundredth year of his life. He
entered the British navy as a MILDLY
eighty-six years ago. and had retired
from service as a post captain before the
navy contained a single steam vessel. He
has a unique distinction here as the sole
survivor of tho naval life OF the time OF
Nelson, but the venerable man has Amer
lean interest as well. He was born in
Nova Scotia, and as senior officer com
manded the Shannon when she sailed out
of Boston harbor after the historic fight
with the Chesapeake, towing the capt
ured vessel with Lawrence's body to
Halifax. He was made commander for
share in that memorable battle fought
seventy-eight years ago, yet he still lives
in fair health and in possession of his
faculties Cor. New York Times.

There is a great commOtion among the
Jewish population of Boston, caused by
al order recently issued by the board of
health f%orbidding the killing of fowl
within the thickly settled sections Of the
city, except in places especially assigned
for that purpose by thg hoard of health.
The Jews put great reliance on poultry
for their sustenance, and it is probable
that they consume as many chickens as
all the other people of Boston put to-
gether. The poultry that is consumed
by others han the Jews is generally
killed outside, but all thu fowls intend
ed for Jewish consumption have hith-
erto been killed in this city.
The reason for this is to be found in
the Jewish law. The meat of no animal
or fowl that has not been killed by per-
% authorized by the rabbi to slaughter
such animal or fowl can be eaten by a
Jew, nor can it be eaten after having
been killed for oyer two days. The con-
sequence is that the people of this race
prefer to buy their own fowls or animals
alive and AVE them killed by the proper
authority. 1t is calculated that some
thing like 5000 chickens are brought into
Boston alive every week for Jewish con-
sumption alone.-Boston Herald.

Senator Plumb has introduced n bill to
pay g., 900 to Il man who was scalpcd.
Accompanying the affidavits and other
papers in the case is n realistic piece of
evidence in the form of a recent photo
graph. This picture shows the head ms
1t locks now, twenty-siK years after the
knife was applied.
The claimant is Robert MCGEE. His
home is at Easton, in Leavenworth coun-
ty, Kan. In 1864 McGeo was only II
years old, but he was rather large of his
age and thought he could induce the Off
GERS to accept him AS n recruit. He went
to Fort Leavenworth and enlisted. When
the mastering came on McGee was re
jected, but was given n place as teamster
by a contractor, who was about to take
a wagon train of government supplies
from Fort Lcavenworth to Fort Union,
in New Mexico. MCGEE was an orphan.
He had no home to which he could 10.
turn, and no friends with whom he could
advise.
He took the position of teamster under
the impression that he was still in the
government service, although he had
been rejected as n soldier. Near what
is now the flourishing city of Larued
h wagon train was wiped out by Little
Turtles band of Indians. MCGEE was
the only survivor. He was scalped and
left on the ground for dead. This hlp
pened on the nth of July, 1864. The
terrible ordeal left the boy shattered IL

by exhibiting his SCARED crown, and now

There is one thing which business men
may as well understand. AS fast as sci
ence invents appliances for the safety
of money or ~valuables, just as fast does
crime invent schemes to circumvent.
Crime is more Of a science today than it
ever vas. You may remember the bur
glar proof safe that was put in at Salem,
Ills. 1t was the latest. The inventors
not only claimed for it that it could not
be opened in the usual way, but they
claimed that it was so constructed as to
Withstand any explosive which might be
piled up about it and touched off. This
claim seemed to invite test by the scien-
titic cracksman, for one morning pieces
of this safe were found all around the
building. 1t had been blown into atoms.
Safe burglary-"safe cracking"-is 60
ing on the same as ever. Crime is sci
entitic.-W. A. Pinkerton in Chicago

Some little sensation was caused re-
Gently by the execution in front of the
gate of La Roquette of two juvenile
murderers, aged respectively II and 81.
They had strangled an elderly concierge
in broad daylight in the Rue Bonaparte,
with a view to robbing her. President
Carnot was dissuEded from sparihg their
lives, with a view to dispel a current but
deep rooted impression among the youth
of the dangerous classes that it is unlaw-
full to guillotine infants" The one
hardship in their case vas that fifty-nine
days were allowed to elapse between
their sentence and execution, and the de-
lay encouraged them to hope for a com
mutation of their punishment. They
met their fate with courage.-Cor Lon
