A Cuirassier Runs Amuck.


II must slay three or four foot sol
diers!" exclaimed q cuirassier named
Lefranc, as with some of his comrades
in the same regiment he stopped Croi-
son, an inoffensive fantassin, in the
streets of Anglers, in which their respect
i've corps were quartered on the evening
of the national fete. Suiting the action
to the word Lefranc drew his saber and
proceeded to attack the infantryman,
who, parrying his thrusts with his bay
onet as best he could, drove nearly the
whole of the weapon into his adversary's
side The cuirassier reeled and then
fell down dead. Croison returned quiet
ly to his barracks, where he was put un-
der arrest in the course Of the night.
He has been tried by court martial.
His officers gave him an excellent
character, and he himself declared that
he much regretted what he had done,
but added that his life was at stake. It
was ascertained that the cuirassier had
already thrashed foot soldier belonging
to another regiment on that same even
ing, and Croison was acquitted, the
court arriving at the conclusion that he
had simply acted in self defense and had
had no intention of killing his opponent
outright. French soldiers always go out
with their sidearms, and their conduct
is, as rule. SO steady and orderly that
only on rare and exceptional occasions
like the one just cited do they make a
bad, or rather any, use of their weapons.

Wild Animals in Connectieut.

Offers and minls were very scarce IN
Connecticut dozen years ago, and it
was feared that the animals might be-
come extinct, for their hides were worth
from s. to $40 apiece, and everybody
hunted them. Then suddenly fashion

mink and otter skins, the price went
down and now the animals abound in
the state again. So numerous have
minks become there that they are get
ting to be quite familiar with country
people. Recently mink, frightened by
a sharp thunder storm, fed out Of a
meadow, rushed into farmers dwell

CURED IN Hartford few days ago. A
mink trotted right into the heart Of the
city, among throngs Of people on the
streets, and passed all kinds of dogs
with impunity, and finally made his
way into the back yard of a big store on
Asylum street. In the yard men cor
nered him and tried to capture him
alive, but he fought SO desperately that
they had to kill him.-Philadelphia

Doctors Mt Berlin.

The army Of doctors has apparently
enjoyed itself amazingly at Berlin,
where science and surgery have been
judiciously tempered with amusements
of the most varied description. In the
history of the world no such array of
medicine men has ever been seen as that
which met in the gorgeous Kunst
Anstellung to listen to the welcoming
words of Virchow, the pathologist; Won
Gossler, the minister of medicine and
religion (an excellent combination of
functions), and Won Palckenbeck, the
chief burgomaster.
Sir James Paget secured the warmest
reception of the foreign delegates; DR..
Baccelli, the Italian, ''for the conven-
fence of his carl colleghi," insisted on
using Latin as a common language, and
Dr.. Won Bergmann's normal appearance
has been vastly improved by his brand
new uniform, although the passing in
terest he once excited was wholly
ecEpsed by Grand Duke Theodore, Of
Bavaria, the eminent oculist, who
brought the grand duchess to look down
on her husbands 5000 fellow practition-
ers from box. The heat was more than
tropical, but the doctors submitted to be
closely packed with the best possible
grace, and the one royalty of the whole
European faculty was -indefatissbie~in

Lake Keuka GraDas

Lake Keuka first became noted for the
cultivation of grapes on its shores. The
first vineyard was planted about 1855 on
the west shore. In 1851 another was plant
ed on Bluff Point. The business proved
very profitable, and the cultivation of
grapes extended until nearly all avail
able land has been utilized At present
grape land is valued at 800 to $500 per
acre and bearing vineyards $500 to
81, 200, the latter price being that of the
best Catawba vineyards. The present
crop is very promising, and, in view Of
the general failure of other kinds of
fruit, grape growers are expecting good
arices. Rome Sentinel. -

When she cane out OF the Lighthouse
at noon, she saw young man sitting
on the keel of David Neill's upturned
boat, and talking with this sturdy toll
or of the sea.
Here's the gentleman I was tellin'
ye bout, Miss Alice, said David, with
. simple ceremony Of introduction,
tMr. EsterReld this is our Miss Alice.
Mr.. Esterfeld took off his broad
brimmed hat and bowed courteously.
4 am told that your family owns
this picturesque old ruin,' said he, in
clining his head towards the light
house. Ms
Yes said Alice.
i should like to rent it for stu
did,
i already useit as studio said
Alice, stifly.
lndeedl Then, said he, you are the
young lady who paints those little
conch shells and smooth stones. They
are very pretty lndeed'
Alice bowed with conscious pride.
That room up there would be a
glorious studio, said Mr.. Ester6eld,
longingly. Couldn't you give me
easel room there? think the sight of
sand and the sound Of the breakers
would inspire me.
Il have no more space than I myself
need to occupy, said Alice more frigid'
ly than before. H
Was it not bad enough for this pat
ronizing artist to come here at all ,
poarching-so to speak--on her manor
but he must even want to crowd her
out Of her solitary tower of REFUGEE
This was certainly the height of pre-
sumptionl
But after while softer sentiment
stirred in her bosom.
Perhaps the young man was poor
and friendless, struggle to make his
way in the world; and that invalid
wife of his, who could not stir without
cruthes, and who was universally re-
ported to be very uncertain in temper
was not that trial enough for any
body?
Alice was sorry that she had spoken
so sharply.
When she came back across the
glistening sands, where the low tide
had left It's deposit Of feathery seaweed
and delicately tinged shells, Mr..
Esterfeld sat sketching by the old
boat.
Il have changed my mind said
Alice, walking up to him. There is
space for your easel, as we'll as mine,
in the lantern room.
May we share the studio together2
said the young man, ,oyfully. Thanks
"a thousand timesl and | will try to
take up as little room as possible
So there were two artists now in
the round room of the lighthouse.
Alice grew to like her fellow artist,
and she treated him with q soft, gra-
cious dignity that became her well.
Everybody seems to admire your
pictures so much said she, with q
sigh. 4 wish I could paint as you
do

AN AUTUMN IDYL.

A yellow, September morning had
risen over the blue waters Of the
Channel. Far of In the distance the
glancing of the white caps revealed a
stiff breeze up the slope Of the yellow
crinkly sands in front, the foamy
surges crept with e soft sound, and
Alice Aylmer stopped a moment at
the door of the old ruined lighthouse
to talk with David Neill, the boat
man. '-'@ ''

shrewd, shrug of the shoulders, IS he

could paint myself, when I've been out
on the bay, of moony night, or be-
twixt day and dawn, when the sky
was all pinky red, and the mornin'
star shinin' like lamp over the old
lighthouse top. But ] hadn't never
no talent that way he added with
sigh. a9yadar9 Uao. t

wistfully. .t ..-.
Old David shook his head.
There you have me agin, said he.
i donno much about them things
His name is Easterfield, and he aim

'Oh! said Alice. The husband Of
that cross invalidat the 'Polrevar
Arms, Ipity himr she added with
sigh. r3.4.eis .a
So she went on up the winding stone
stairway to the little lantern chamber
which she had transformed into an
impromptu studio. -
Alice Aylmer loved art with a
genuine love, and she put all her soul
into the glowing pictures that she
sketched on the conch shells and bits
Of floating spar and stones washed in
to perfect ovals by the restless ebb
and flow Of tide.
Each of them was little gem in
its way, and as they was sold, one
by one, to the find ladies rnd languid
invalids at the hotel, it gave Alice a
secret pang part with every one.
But it was her bread winner, that
decliate taste Of hers in color, pros
pective and line. Farmer Aylmer
was old and feeble, and. it pleased
Alice to think that she was helping
the kind grandfather who had been
all the parent that she had ever
known.
Up to this time she had no rival in
this special line of art, and she was a
little amazed when old David an.
nounced the appearance of this new
artist on The field of action.
But if he has an invalid wife to
support, I can't SO much blame him,
she Thought. Poor fellow Everyone
