MRnleh Her Heer.

On one occasion, when Mojeska was
playing at the Globe, she required a
bier to lie upon in one of her scenes,
and, it not having been provided, the
Polish countess sent to John Stetson,
stating that she wanted a bier.
" Wants beer, does she ?" said Stet-
son; "well, she can want and be
blowed. | amt providing beer for
these outlandish players. Tell her
she can't have it. The messenger re-
turned to Modjeska with Stetson's
message. The countess was furious.
" Go TO Mr.. Stetson," she said, "and
tell him that unless | have a bier |
will not go on in the next act" The
messenger duly repeated the message.
'i ~, ,n't chez" screamed
...-.. =. ~ if she won't.
That's the way with these furriners !;
they always want beer-beer-beer."
Then, as if relenting, he took 80 cents
from his pocket and said with a deep
sigh: "I suppose I'll have TO let her
have it. Here, go and get her a gal
lon." 1t is needless to say the coun-
tess got her bier.

A Genuine Jail BIRD.

One OF the most interesting speci-
mems on exhibition at the Smithso-
nian 400" in Washington, Is a
monkey-iaced owl. born and bred in
the district Jail. Truly he is a genu-
Inc Jail bird. He first saw the light OF
night in the caves OF the big old build
ing, but was arrested for disturbing
the quiet Of the establishment, and
now ekes out a miserable existence in
a cage. His face is almost an exact
counterpart OF q monkeys, so much
30, in fact, that were the rest OF his
body covered 1t would be difficult to
distinguish the difference. The bird
has a cage all to himself, and Is the
only one OF the kind on exhibition.
He sits all day quiet and unblinklng,
but at night, so the reporter was in
formed, he has high old time, and
makes the building resound with his
piercing shrieks.-Ex.

Selecting Her Presents.

A young lady Of Atlanta, Ga, who
was about to be married and desired
to secure acceptable presents adopted
a novel method OF accomplishing her
wishes. About two weeks before the
wedding she visited all the jewelry
stores, and at each called the proprie-
tor aside and told him of her approach
ing marriage, and then said: Now,
it is very probable that some of my
friends may come in here and select
me a present. It's horrid to get some
thing you don't like, so | want you to
look ont for me, and il you can satisfy
yourself that a present is about to be
purchased for me induce the purchaser
to buy something | will now select"
The proprietor could see nothing
wrong in granting such request, and
the young lady selected a number Of
pieces OF iewelry which suited her
taste. They were marked and the
clerks notified. This was repeated at
the crockery, music and book stores.
The scheme is said to have worked
well.-Boston Journal.

C.,am,,ies In washington.

Washington seems to be the focus
OF national calamities. Twenty-Five
years ago a President who was only
second to Washington in the hearts Of
the people fell the victim of an assassin.
William II. Seward came near meet
ing his fate the same night. Years
later President just installed was
shot in Washington railroad depot and
for months the country was agitated
with the varying accounts OF his con-
dition. Death came at last and was
not the more gracefully submitted to
in consequence of a report that If the
bullet had been correctly traced and
located the wounded President might
have recovered. Under the last adj
ministration the Secretary OF State
lost a daughter under circumstances
which warrant the conclusion that she
fell victim to what she conceived to
be her social duties. Walker Blaine
in the prime OF young manhood at
tended wedding one day, was taken
i'll the next, and died within the week.
The death of Mr.. Blaine's eldest
daughter is now announced, and an
hour after came the sad intelligence
of the burning of Secretary Tracy's
house and the death Of one or more OF
the inmates. Calamities Of this ma
ture happen in all communities, but it
seems as though Washington had
more than its share. The Blaine
family are now mourning for four near
relatives brother OF Mr.. Blaine, a
sister OF Mrs. Blaine, a son and a
daughter.

One MnS 20 Get Good MIX.

1t was quite early when the Around
er journeyed homeward the other
morning. Day was just breaking, and
the milk wagons rumbled noisily over
the pavements. One of these early
workers was stopped before a house
when two gentlemen in hard luck"
approached it. Saluting the milkman
one said, producing a tin pail /:
Gimme two quarts O. milk" As
the milkman took the pail he con-
tinued: It's for the City Chemist. +"
"Shw interposed his fellow tramp,
" he said you mustn't tell who it's for. .
But the milkman's eyes lit up with
q knowing look as he filed the pail
with choicest cream. So elated, in
fact, was he with his own supposed
cunning that he did not think about
payment until the two were out OF
sight. A few blocks further the
Arounder came upon the colaborers
regaling on rolls and cream. 1--WE
had to get up burned early TO work
it," vas the remark he heard. ."-Buf-

The Chief Justices Quotation.

More than one correspondent has
called our attention to the fact that the
aphorism, Z" 1t is the duty OF the peo-
pie to support the Government, and
not OF the Government to support the
people, belongs to ex-President Cleve-
land, and not to Chief Justice Fuller,
the latter having quoted it and given
the ex-President credit. We thought
that it had familiar tone, and now
easily recognize 1t as the sententious
wisdom OF which ex-President Cleye-
land has given the country other ex-
amples as we'll. An amusing feature
in the case is that some OF our con-
temporaries, who had never been able
to greet anything that came from
Mr.. Cleveland, except with a sneer,
have received this sentiment with
effusive admiration.-Boston Herald.

adopted which prohibits saloon

that a Lincoln Lodge has begun the

about six weeks ago against three

Lincoln who were engaged in liquor

The Coming city of the Northwest.

A correspondent, writing from
Spokane Falls, states that this city
bids fair to be one of the greatest real
estate towns on the Cost, and predicts
that the city, which now claims a
population OF less than % 900, will, in
the near future, swell to one hundred
thousand. 1t is. in point of location,
situated similarly to Denver, and, with
tremendous water power and natural
backing, promises growth unpre-
cedented.
