The Story of a Werewolf

A noble gentleman of Brittany, in high favor with the king. married lovely lady. There would have been no limit to their happiness but that three days out of every week the gentleman mysteriously disappeared. When pressed by his wife for an explanation he confessed that he was a Bisclaveret or werewolf, and for three days in the week was condemned to assume a wolf's shape. The lady was sore troubled and determined to rid her self of so objectionable husband. Learn ing that if the lords clothes were stolen after the metamorphosis was effected he could not resume his human shape, she and a false cavalier who loved her watched him and got possession of the castoff garments. As from that day the husband was no more seen she married the cavalier.
 One day the king was out hunting when wolf that had been sore pressed by the hounds made its way to him and looked at him with so pitiful and human an expression that the kings heart was touched. He spared it and brought it home to his court. The animal proved R6ulle dIlu lTdCtdDle dIlu OeCaLue d great favorite. But one day when the false cavalier came to court it jumped upon him with a wild cry and bit him severely. And when some days later the wife claimed an audience with the king the wolf flew at her, too, and bit off her nose. Swords were drawn and the wolf would have been killed, but that a wise man counseled the prince to find out first what could be the reason of the wolfs grudge to the lady and her husband. And, being threatened with imprison- ment, the lady, terrified, confessed all she knew, and when the clothes of her former husband were given to the wolf he was transformed into human shape and the king rejoiced to recognize his old favorite. The guilty pair were igno- miniously banished. They lived several years and had many children, all the girls being born without noses. s.-Ameri- can Notes and Queries.

Painting the Baby's Face.

A letter from Paris informs us that the doctors are again at war with silly mothers belonging to the fashionable cir cles. The latest fanaticism of La Mode is to apply the horrors of face painting to little children. In the public gardens babies of 8 years old may now be seen whose eyebrows have been blacked or dyed by their senseless mothers. Other anxious parents, distressed at the vul- garly ruddy and rustic hue of their chil- dren's cheeks, carefully powder them before sending them forth to meet the gaze and criticism of the world. Little coquettes of 10 years are not permitted to go abroad until the regulation black stroke has been painted beneath their eyes. The doctors warn the mothers that when the children thus barbarously treated reach the age of 16 they will have colorless and ruined complexion, to say nothing of the injury to health, which is an argument less likely to pro- duce much effect.-Pall Mall Gazette.

Tha Doll Had If. Too.

There was a slight impeachment in a little Boston girls speech, and she had been ''drilled" out of all patience by well intentioned teachers and friends. When she received doll for birthday present, she was delighted to find that by pulling out green string very passaSie ''mam- ma" was produced. But the "papa" which followed the twitching of white string wc- imperfect, and when the little mother discovered that her child had in- herited her own inirmity, her heroic nature was shown. She lost no time in putting to account her own training, and pulling repeatedly on the white string, with an unfaltering hand, she said firmly: ''Dolly, you must be trained till you learn to say that plainer.

Who Are the Lucky Ones?

After all, what is luck? She is the handmaiden of every man at one time or another, and in one form or another. She is ever by ones side, ready to give a helping hand. The blind do not see her; the timid or irresolute decline to take her outstretched hand The unlucky man is the man who forgets to strike when the iron is hot. The lucky man is the one who takes advantage of profered fortune. Circumstances, it is to be confessed, throw more of such proffers in the way of one than another. But if one will fol- low the footprints of the lucky men of the world it will be found that at the points where they seized fortune at the flood there are tracks which show that there were many faltering and hesitating ones near by, any one of whom had with in his reach the same opportunities as the fortunate one had.-Chicago Times.

New York and Foreirn Cities.

There is no palpable New York in the sense in which there IS Paris, Vienna, a Milan. You can touch it at no point. It Is not even ocular. There is instead a Fifth avenue, a Broadway, a Central park, a Chatham square. How they have dwindled, by the way. Fifth ave- nue might be any one of dozen London streets in the first impression it makes on the retina and leaves on the mind. The opposite side of Madison square is but a step away. The spacious hall of the Fifth Avenue hotel has shrunk to stifing proportions. Thirty-fourth street is a lane; the city hall bandbox; the Gen. tral park narrow strip of elegant land scape, whose lateral limitations are con- stantly forced upon the sense by tho Lenox library on one side and the mon- ster apartment house on the other.- Princeton Review.

 Condition.
 'I know" the northern member would oc- easionally say, "that people would be slow to believe some of the things have been tell ing about my experiences in the war, but they are all true to the letter."
 'I don't doubt for a moment" said the western man, who wasn't in the war. And now just let me tell you little maritime story-true beyond a doubt and not in the least fshy, though l will confess it is so old that it has burrs on it. A crowd Of men were sitting in a saloon one night and man got up and commenced to relate an experi- ence of his own. It run like this: I was on a ship ten years ago which was wrecked in mid ocean. Many of the passengers did not suc- ceed in getting into the life boats and some of us had to jump into the water. l sank twice and then managed to catch hold of a piece of timber just big enough to support me. Recovering my breath 1 congratulated myself on having support enough to possibly keep me afoat until could be picked up by some passing vessel. Suddenly felt one end of my timber go down, and turning my head, discovered that another man had grabbed hold of my lumber. In moment or two we were about to sink lurged him to be careful, but he would not heed me- We drifted along for some minutes, when made up my mind that one or the other of us would have to go down, for with such pressure it was only a matter of time when we would both lose our piece of timber. finally edged my way up to the man and choking him, made him release his grip. He fell off, and suppose drowned, for paddled away and saw him no more. IL was cruel thing to do, but self preservation being the first law of nature, 1 looked out for No. 1. You may not believe this, but, gentle men, it is the truth
 "Then," the western congressman went on to relate, Ia big man, with bushy beard and fierce looking eyebrows, arose from corner and said: Alas for you, it was true. was the man you pushed that awful day from the piece of timber. Hal hal you thought you had drowned me; but 1 live to face the man who treated me 30. Kind fortune, when arose from beneath the angry waves, sent along another piece of timber, and, though bruised by you, had strength enough left to cling like an oyster to my timber, and in few hours 1 was rescued by passing ship. For nearly ten long years l have been hunt ing you, sir, and you shall die. will give you five minutes to prepare for death-mors than you would give me in mid ocean,

BLINDNESS.

Shah 1 be ready when the shadow falls!
 When up my heavens blue walls The fatal darkness creeps, and must go So still, so slow. The smallest child could soon outstrip my pscei When each dear loving face Must veil from me its hourly smiles or tears, Its joys or fears? When wayside plumes of golden rod shall flame For other eyes the samel When autumn's burning boughs shall Haunting hold
 Their red and goldf When pitying hands shall take from mine the task
 Unflnished-and ask If it be night, that threads so untrue? When am through. With sunshine and the light of solemn starsf When through my dungeon bars Ireach guiltleSs captive's hands, and grope Without hopef Shall be ready for that silent blow3
 This truth feel and know: That must work while yet the pulse of day Beats on my way; That must weave while still the threads run true
 If many threads or few: That must strive till on my darkening walls The blackness fallsi

Character of Dreams.

Any marked increase in the number or change in the character of dreams should be seriously considered. They are some times the precursors of a general ner- vous and mental prostration. In such cases habits of diet and exercise, work and rest, should be examined. If dreams which depress the nervous energies and render sleep unrefreshing occur ire quently, medical counsel should be taken. The habit of remembering and narrating dreams is pernicious; to act upon them Is to surrender rational self control.-J. M. Buckley in The Century.

The alternating mosquito bar" is said to be the name of the latest device for foiling the attempts of the mosquito to disturb ones sleep. It is simply fine, flexible wire cloth or netting, which drapes the bed like canopy. A small electric lamp, fed with power from not too strong battery from beneath the bed, vitalizes the wires sufficiently to devital- ize the unwary bird of Jersey foolish enough to connect with the netting in search for gore.

"The crowd seemed disposed to interfere, but the big man with bushy beard drew two pistols, and called out: Stand back, every bedyr and with the death dealing weapons he covered the party who had narrated the ocean experience. The latter pleaded for mercy, and eventually the big man with the bushy beard said: Twill spare your life only on one condition.'

DolIs of Eastern Siberia.

Lieut.. Hooper, writing of the people on the east coast of Siberia, says: "Few countries are there where dolls are not a great resource; the Tush children have theirs; make and clothe them with the minutest attention to details; every arti- cle of dress is provided, and everything put on end of in the proper manner. The boys have miniature sledges, boats and bows and arrows; the girls their dolls, and also embroidery, which they early begin to practice as a pastime, and soon become expert in."-Youth's Companion. .
