Samson ana tho 5.wsone.

In town IN New jersey there used TO
live dentist whose name was Samson.
As II TO prove that there Is sone&hfng fn
name, this DR.. Samson was a powerful
man, and has mighty right arm never
failed TO bring with it whatever hisforeeps
had fastened upon. As st-ong a sam
son" had q local signihcance Ia thai town.
L happened, hswever, that DIR samson
did not like references toths significance OF
his name. Like many other men whose
names mean something" he bad heard
these jokes until he was heartily tired OF
them.
One day q townsman came in who had \
tooth TO be pulled The "paetnnt'' was .
foppish, rattle headed fellow, who tried to
keep up his courage By putting on q JEST
ing exterior.
Now, doctor" he said nervouSly, IT
suppose you won't drag me around tho
room more than three times? Three times
and then out. you know"
Are you zfraids' the dentist asked
"Oh no, not exactly, but it's LITTLE
alarming, don't ycu know, to have sam
son tugging away at your jaw"
Il suppose said the dentist, looking .
little sour, that you arc afraid I'm going
on an expedition against the PhilisGines. T"
Against what"

When the Duchess Of Buckingham found
herself dying she sent for Anstis, the her
aid, and settled all the pomp Of her funeral
ceremony. She was afraid of dying before
the preparations were ready.
why" she asked, won't they send the
ranopy for me to see9 Let them send it,
even though the tassels are not finished"
And then she exacted, as Horace Wal
pole a6irms, a vow from her ladies that if
She should become insensible they would
not sit down in her room until she was
dead. Funeral honors appear, indeed, to
have been her fancy, for when her only
son died she sent messengers to her friends,
telling them that if they wished to see him
lying in state she would admit them by
the back stairs.-New York Ledger.

Women Crowding Into journalism.

I have employed women in Office work in
newspapers with considerable satisfaction,
and in numberless cases l have found that
they could do some kinds of reporting far
better than men. 1t is a mistake to think
that women are only1it to write fashion
articles. The editor of one of the great
Sunday newspapers Of New York Is
woman. And she not only manages to
keep her paper in full touch with the
times. but she often leads in public thought
and opinion
Most editors give women chance by be-
ing unfair TO them. l think the day is
coming when women will do large pro-
portion of newspaper reporting. In nearly
all the big cities they are now doing little
of it. Even the house Of parliament has
been forced to admit woman to the re-
porters' gallery, very much to the disgust
of the male reporters. Coates.

ORIGIN Of the Harlequin.

John Rich, the son of Christopher Rich,
the manager of the theatre IN Lincoln
Inn Fields, London, was very illiterate
man, with strong dramatic instincts.
From his inability to speak upon the
stage he originated the silent harlequin,
and by mere dumb action could rival the
power and pathos of the most accom-
plished tragedian.
Previous to this, and, indeed, for some
time afterward, harlequin was a speak
ing part, and David Garrick played him
as such IL the theatre at Goodman Fields.
It was in the year iii that Rich ap-
peared in pantomine called Harlequin
Executed
Jackson, in speaking of Rich's wonder
ful abilities as pantOmimist, says: "On
his last revival Of The Soroerer' 1 saw
him practice the Matching of harlequin
by the heat OF the sun, in order to point
it out 10 Miles, who. though excellent
in the line Of dumb significance. found
it no easy matter 70 retain the lesson
Rich had taught him. This certainlv
was masterpiece IN dumb show. From

Ing of motion. his feeling of the ground.

the whole progression, every limb had

which spoke with most miraculous organ

The tight fitting spangled dresses which
are now worn by all harlequins were not
adopted until the present century.

Some Curious Patents.

A western man has patented shield to
prevent horse from being cut by wire
fences, and this consists of sort OF armor
of padded cotton or leather which Is
strapped around the neck, breast and front
LEGS of the horse. Another way OF prevent
ing horses from hurting themselves on
these fences is found ia the electrical dlyis-
son. The wires are charged with cleo
1ricity, and when the horse goes against
them he gets s. shock which drives him
hack. In the same division there is an
electric plan for preventing horses from
cribbinQ. The manager is charged with
electricity, and the moment tine horse at
1empts to crib be gets a shock. Then there
IS a chicken hobbler consisting OF spring
attached TO a hens leg, which, if the hen
attempts to scratch, viii move her onward,
and viii in fact walk heT right out of the

And tl1rnut Of the waves comes never nigh,
