And She Smiled,

Awoman who looked to weigh 400
pounds, but probably fell little
short of that figure, was descending
from a Bleecher-street car the other
day, when a man who looked to
weigh about seventy pounds, but
might pull down 100, sought to as
cend. They met. They bumped. They
gazed at. each other in a cold way.
Neither would recreation the moment.
Then the mans natural gallantry
was called in question and he said:
"Ahl I am in your way"
liam in yours, rather" she replied.
ooh, not at all. If I wasn't so fat
I could move quicker. l often envy
you people who move about so live
~"
And she looked into his face, saw
that he was serious, and her efforts
to strike a girls gait as she moved
to the curb provoked a platform
passenger into saying:
"That didn't cost him q cent and
it did her q thousand dollars worth

Left His Sermon at Home,

Left His Sermon at Home,
When clergyman finds himself in
a dilemma, says the London Tele
graph, he does well to take the con-
gregation into his confidence. The
pastor of subur ban parish assembled
the pulpit the other evening to preach
his mcknight sermon, but when he
opened his manuscript covers he
found, to his horror, that the dis
course he had brought with him was
not the one he intended to deliver,
but was what he had preached to
the same congregation on the pre-
vious Sunday. He did not feel equal
to an ex-tempore Grafton, and, firm
~ convinced that honesty is the best
policy, he faced the stern facts of the
situation boldly. Without circum-
locution he told his expectant hearers
exactly what was his difficulty,
and then left them to recover
from the effects of their surprise.
A moment later supplied fig
ure might have been seen hurrying
to tho vicarage close by, and before
many minutes had elapsed the par
son, breathless but triumphant,
again assembled the pulpit to enforce
the moral and spiritual lessons en-
bodied in the homily he had accident
ally left at home.

Smoking on the Street.

Cigars were never made to be
smoked on street cars or on the
broad boulevards of city when a
gentleman is with q lady. Yet it is q
common occurrence to see a man
walking with a we'll dressed woman
and putting smoke from the weed into
the faces of other pedestrians. After
dinner and in the house is the proper
time and place to smoke and really
enjoy q good cigar. A gentleman of
this city, who had been In the habit of
buying expensive cigars and smoking
them in the open air, discovered that
he did not appreciate them SO much
as he did the post pradial smoke. He
turned over q new leaf and bought q
quantity of cheap cigars to smoke
wilhelm the street, and saved his good
and expensive brand for home con-
sumption. According to his expert
ence there isno appreciate difference
in the street between a three-for-fiv
cent cigar ard one of three-for-a-dol-
lar.-Washington Post.

Military Discipline.


A group of army men were discuss :
ing the other day the reverence which
Gen. Sheridan at all times exhibited
toward Gen. Grant. To illustrate
this trait of Gen. Sheridan's one of
the company related the following
incident:
"Gen. Grant and Gen. Sheridan
were travelling in a steamboat to-
gether, accompanied by other Off
GERS. Among the passengers wss a
young Englishman who frequently
used to take a hand at poker with
the distinguished travellers. The linn
it usually was fifty cents. On one oc-
casion the Englishman wanted to
get up to light a cigar, and requested
Gen. Sheridan to play his hand,
which consisted of four Jacks pat,
for him. On the Englishman's re-
turn he asked how his hand had
PANIED out.
"'Oh,' said Sheridan, the General
(meaning Grant, bet me fifty cents,
and called him and won you the
pot
"The Englishman looked at him
in amazement, and then suffered
out:

cipline, but Pm hanged if I ever
heard of it going that far. '"-Wash-

RECORD OF CASUALTIES.

A terrific storm of rain and hail deluged
the streets of GAINESVILLE, Texas, to the depth
of three feet and destroyed over $50, 700
worth OF property. The cloud-burst was
preceded by O four hours rain, accompan
led by thunder and lightning. A creek which
flows through the center Of the town rose
up and swept away forty dwellings, but the
whole city came to the rescue and only one
life was lost
Broonop Fashngbaum, of the town of Au-
burn, Wis, was burned to death near his
home. While attending a brush fire his
clothing became ignited. He was quarter
of q mile from the house, but his cries attract

gone twenty five rods. and was trying to dig
. hole in the mud in which to throw himself
He lived several hours although terribly
burned. He was seventy-four years Of age.
Aplumber while trying to find leak in the
gas pipes in the Krummann block at SiouxCity

place, ripping the plastering from both store
ceilings and breaking the plate glass in the
front windows. causing $1,000 damage
cleared OF their contents, the entire stock be-
ing thrown to the floor by the force of the
explosion. The loss on stock will be more than
on the building. Several persons were in tn !,
store and it seems almost q miracle that NO
one was injured.
The heaviest hail storm on record passed
over Baltimore from northwest to south
east. Many thousands of windows in the
city were broken, the damage being confined
mainly to the western exposure. The stones
were very large, some measuring more than
two inches in diameter and Weighing more
than four ounces each. Many of the car
tracks at the foot of the hills are covered
to a depth of six inches with soil washed
down upon them. The wind attained q ve-
locity Of thirty miles an hour, rapidity de-
creasinE after the passage of the storm.
Fire destroyed the Unicorn silk mill at
Catasauqua, Pa. The entire building was
destroyed, together with machinery and a
