Il want an invoice to New York for this

A blank form was produced and Consul

them related to the age of the contents of
the box
'Twenty-six years old, said the man.

My sister" was the reply. Then he told
his story His sister had died a few DAYS
before and when he went to have the re-
mains shipped to New York he found that
it would cost $3.50 to embalm and inclose
them in a casket and $50 more TO shin
them across the ocean. As he did not want
TO pay 800 he had gone 10 a crematory in
Paris, had the remains incinerated for S25
and proposed 70 ship them for SIS. saving
$3.50 by the operation.
After this explanation he was given the
invoice, paid the usual fee and departed

The rarI. pnleher Bow Aprnn.

From the dimmest era, now lost in oh
security, the Paris butcher boy has worn a
uniform betokening the trade of which he
Is invariably "A cheerful ornament. The
apron he wears is most curious affair. and
he himself must be regarded as the aristo-
erat OF apron wearers, for he sports no less
than three aprons at once. Two of these
aprons are apparently superfiuous, as they
are rolled up and fastened at each side; the
third is worn in front and held in place
across the breast by a string made into a
peculiar knot az the back.
Whenever you see this odd knot YOU NAV
be assured a butchers apprentice has tied
1t. The method of making it requires az
delicate manipulation as does the success
ful arrangement of the white necktie. and
our gallant butcher boy takes as much
pains with its construction as any swell
dressing for ball. It's tying is profound
secret, and no matter what inducement YOU
oher he won't disclose it-you must become
a butcher boy TO find it out. With his
fresh, white aprons, ruddy complexion and
closely cropped hair-for never by any
chance does he wear a hat during the func-
tons Of his office-the butcher boy is by
no means an unappetizing object. Wide

acres in the Bots de Boulogne. and there
are 200 more than that in the Bots de Vim
cennes, at the opposite end Of Paris. When
II was time for the town to take of her
winter toilet and make her appearance in
spring attire it took nearly five hundred
thousand flower plants, and these were dis
tributed by hundreds of gardeners and
their assistants during a fortnight. Add
TO these plants and shrubs no fewer than
two hundred thousand trees that line

perhaps you can gain some idea of what
our eyes rest on in this town, town full

Pat McGrath Possesses a remarkable fe.
line. His cat was born with only three
legs. and as soon as the kitten became large
enough TO leave its mother, Pat constructed
a wooden leg and successfully adjusted il
to the little stump that grew ont where
pussy's fourth leg ought TO have been.
Pussy now trots along on four LEGS with
as much ease and comfort apparently as
though the wooden limb had been placed
there by nature. But here is the wonder.
ful part Of the story: Instead OF killing rats
and mice with her claws, as cats usually
do, pussy has learned to use her club lee
for this purpose, and it is said TO Be a very
amusing sight to see her run up to a rat
and knock him into insensibility with her
wooden leg. -Woodford CKy) sun.

Benjamin Shiffer, farmer of Tunkhan.
mock township, Monroe county, Pa, is re-
sponsible for an account of thrilling fight
between Southdown ram and an eagle.
The battle took place on Wednesday.
Farmer Shiffer was blowing on a hillside
when an eagle soaring above his flock of
sheep in the valley below attracted his at
tention. The eagle dropped, and in his
swoop attempted to carry off small lamb
from its mothers side He missed his
clutch and knocked the eve down in his
flight. Before he could renew his attack.
and while on the ground, the Southdown
ram lowered his head, butted the bird in
the breast and knocked it over. Before the
ram could follow up this advantage, how
ever, the savage bird had fastened its tai
ons in his back. Bleating loudly, he en-
deavored to shake the royal bird off.
After he had been severely beaten with
the birds wing he managed to shake him
self free. The eagle now tried once more
to capture the lamb, and did fasten its
talons in its back in spite of the mothers
frantic attempts to protect her offspring.
At this point the plucky old ram renewed
the fight He butted the bird several times
and finally got good one home under the
eagles wing, which kept him on the
ground. The eagle released the lamb and |
sailed into the ram again. The farmer ar
rived on the scene by this time, armed with |
a fence rail. He dealt the eagle blow on
the neck. breaking it and settling the fight.
As soon as the ram was freed from the
clutch of the birds talons he fell to butting
the dead enemy. The lamb was dead, and
It's courageous father had lost considerable
wool in the engagement. New York Even

who has the proper conception of

concern about what should be

not consist in chronlcing every

munity regardless of it's merits as
an item Of news or a matter OF
