A Queer Superstitfon,

Two young women were sauntering
along Eighth street when they became
separated by the crowd, and a tall man
passed rapidly between them. One Of the
girls Immediately started after him. She
didn't like to run, but his long strides were
fast taking him beyond her reach.
~Misterp' she called, but mister didn't
hear her.
Then she broke into that peculiar gait
which passes for running among her sex
and catching him by the arm breathlessly
said:
''Oh, misteri let me go around you, won't
yous'
And without waiting for permission she
went around in front Of him to his other
side. Then she smiled.
That's all, she said THANK you"
But it isn't all, +" said the man; "why
did you want to go around meS"
why, you see, you went between my
friend and me, and that's a disappoint-
ment, you know. So l ran after you and
went around you, 80 that it is now just as
If you didn't so between us."-Philadel-
phia Inquirer.

Some Clever Parrots.

Miss Amelia B. Edwards said of her par
rot that it hated above all things hideous
little Egyptian idol which she mum bered
among her treasures. A niece of the late
Peter Cooper has parrot whose bete noir
is the telephone. The minute any one takes
up the receiver the parrot begins to scold
and keeps up such chatter and chatter that
to hear a message is impossible. This par
rot is en- accomplished bird and viii run the

for three months thereafter neither was the

for years Theodore Parker's amanuensis,

a difference in a parrat's tones by whom it
is first taught and this one had caught the

MARK TwAiN'5 PIPE.

Just Now the Great Huznorist Smokes Ne
Cigars, bus 10 Plays Billiards.
Especial Corraspondeacs.l
NEW YORK, June &-The latest within Of
Marx Twain IL enc that causes his friends
sorne amusement sad the strangers who
know him by sight Gully some surprise. It
has also he'd 20 rather embarrassing oempd-
cations upon one or two occasions.
About the time that the humoristss
latest play was given its first representa-
ton he appeared in public places smoking
an old fashioned corncob pipe. At the
New York hotel, one of the most aristo-
cratic in the city, he lounged about the ele-
CANT marble feored lobby smoking the
plebeian pipe. Even while walking Fifth
avenne or Broadway be had It between bis
lips, thereby commanding general atten-
ton as the solitary Individual in all the
vast throngs who dared smoke corncob
on the public streets.
Why he does it no one surely knows, but
it is reported that he undertook wager
with friend, relating in some manner 20
the production of the play, and which re-
quired him, if he lost, to smoke nothing
but corncob pipe.
a few days ago while seated upon a sofa
clouds Of smoke from the pipe, be offended
guest, who, having stared fercely at him
as though wondering at the impudence of
a fellow who would do such thing In the
company Of well dressed gentlemen, at last
demonstrated:
Don't like the pipe" drawled out the
humorist; why that is a pity. It is like
some people in the world; you don't like
the looks of them at first, you understand,
but the more you know them the better
you like then."
The stranger, with the manner of con-
tempt, went away. Soon after he asked
the clerk II any gentleman, a guest at the
hotel, would like to play a game of bill
iards
'Why, yes, there; Mark Twain He's a
crack billiard shot, and is always ready to
play with q gentleman"
"Twain! Mark Twaint Why, should
be delighted. I never saw him, and I'd
like to know him Why, shall be hon
ored."
The stranger went to the billiard room
and the clerk hunted Mark Twain up, and
having found him led him to the billiard
room. The corncob pipe wasstiQ between
his lips. He cast his eye over the stranger
when the intsoductions were going on,
gently blew cloud Of smoke from his
lips, removed the pipe an instant and said:
Delighted to play. Please string for a
Lead while refill my pipe. Do you know
that find the angles lose their engularity
and the cue possesses strange power of
producing results If Ismoke my pipe while
playings Wish had another to offer you,
but I haven't" and he nonchalantly re-
filed the pipe. betraying in no way his
recognition of the stranger, who had re-
garded him as some lout who had strayed
into the hotel.
When tina stranger settled the score after
losing four straight games and the rubber
he said to.the clerk: ''Wel, he may be Pc
cuIiar about his pipes, but there's nothing
funny about his billiards"
It is expected that On or about the 21st
of June Mark Twain will return to his
habit Of smoking dozen Havanas daily,
the wager having terminated then.

An cid lady once told me that when she
was a girl she visited a bride friend, and
when tho husband CaIGs home at night,
tired, hungry, cold and cross, his young
wife rushed into tbs hall and seized him as
he struggled out OF his overcast, devoured
him with kisses, to which he responded:
There, there, my dear; perhaps il you
didn't want TO kiss me quite so much
should want to kiss you more"
OF course, the man was a brute, but his
brutality was founded upon a sound truth.
The great trouble with woman under
conditions OF permitted love is that she
layishes ont of the vast treasure house of
her affections a great deal more than the
objecs oan rcoCiye or assiBilate. Her own
powers Of losiRz and being loved are so
tremendously in excess of his that they
weary, terrify and satiate him long before
she has adequately expressed her own ten
derness.-MEs- Frank Leslie.

breakfast and Lunch Clubs Com bining
Pleasure and Economy.
There Is very notable revulsion of feel
ing on the part OF society in the matter Of
useless display and lavish expenditure in
entertaining From this time ont common
sense promises to enter more largely into
such matters, with the healthful result Of
feweF heartburnings and less marked
tendency todEspepsiA
The petty iealo1sies which beset the
average society woman when, in spite Of
the knowledge thst she has strained every
point % put forth her best appearance and
have her entertainment q success, she sees
her naighbor, blessed with larger INSTALL
nent Of this worlds goods, without the
slightest apparent effort, forge ahead, are
likely to make her feel old and forlorn
even before the close OF the first season.
Doubtless all these truths have had much
to do with the organization of two clubs,
which in every instance limit the expendi-
ture for entertainments at their various
meetings to a specified sum. The first of
these, the breakfast club, is composed Of
six members, and, like the second, the
Lunch club, IS en- organization of some Of
the most fashionable women in society,
the majority of whom, should they so de-
sire, are able to entertain IN the most Law
fish manner. The rule Of the Breakfast
club is that no one meal at which the mem
bers are entertained shall cost more than
So, exclusive Of flowers. At each meeting
the hostess OF the day has the privilege of
inviting one young Lady, who ia the only
outside guest present. By far the more
interesting of the two organizations, how
ever, is the Lunch club, which numbers
mine members, for which each hostess must
exercise her ingenuity to devise coa2se
Luncheon at the outlay Of s.. That the
thing is not only practicable, but that it
can be done with happy result, has already
been proved a number of times by the
