A Pie-Ratical Equine.

The horse "Charley" which is used by
the clergymen of the Church of the I'm
maculate Conception is inordinately fond
of pie. 1t makes no difference what kind
of pie it is, or of what shape it is; pie he
wants and pie he must have. If he is
harnessed to the carriage when pie is
being baked in the kitchen, he will walk
up to the steps and pound with his fore
feet until his friends bring him out his
pie, and he cannot be driven out of the
yard until he gets it. On one occasion,
while he was allowed the liberty of the
yard, he smelt the familiar odor, and walk
ing up the steps he marched straight into
the kitchen and when the cook came up
from the cellar there he stood calmly sur
veying the range. The cook was nearly
scared to death, as there were no men in
the house, but gathering her wits to-
gether, she got into the pantry and grab
bing freshly baked pie held it to "Char-
ley's" nose and backed out the door and
down the steps, the horse following the
pie Waterbury Republican,.

FAT MEN SOMETIMES SINK.
A Case that Should Interest the Adipos
Fisherman of Buzzard's Bay.

A Case that Should Interest the Adipose
Fisherman of Buzzard's Bay.
The story of the fat man who fell over
board in New York harbor and f1oated
around for an hour or two until he was
mistaken for whale and towed to shore
unhurt, has set the old watermen and
wharfInen all agog with reminiscent talk.
They tell peculiar tales of happenings to
fat men which have occurred under their
eyes and in which they took part.
John McClain, the veteran watchman on
the Thomas Clyde pier, above Chestnut,
told number of incidents TO a Philadel-
phia Record reporter concerning the float
ing tendencies of fat men.
During the war McClain was a night
watchman on the piers at Washington
avenue. One dark night Government
feceiving vessel came up the river, and
when it neared the Washington pier two
sailors jumped overheard to make their es-
cape. One was gigantic fellow and the
other man of medium size.
Before jumping overheard the fat man
fastened $500 in double gold eagles in a
leather belt which was strapped around his
waist. He could not swim a stroke. When
they touched the water he houndered
around, but did not sink. Shortly after
ward tremendous swell carried him un-
der the pier, where he was knocked sense
less by the piling. When the body was
found, several hours afterwsrd, it was not
at the bottom of the stream, but plump
against the planks of the pier, with the
head above the water. The man never
sank, but was drowned while insensible.
Superstitious sailors concluded that it was
the gold that kept him on the top of the
river.
A similar incident was cited by Mr.. Nc
Claim. 1t was many years ago and late in
November when a huge Jerseyman tum-
bled unseen from boat while crossing the
Delaware from Camden. He wore heavy
boots and big overcoat. Not being able
TO swim he could not get ashore, and after
he had been in his cold bath an hour he
was discovered by the watchmen and pulled
out. He was nearly frozen to death, but
otherwise was all right.
Custom House Officer McCleary says,
however, that fat men sink as well as the
lean. He says that he weighs 225 pounds,
but when he dropped into the Delaware a
year or so ago he went down faster than
McGinty, and would have stayed there
had not help been offered.

Curious Charities.

Resides the endowed schools and aims
houses, small and great, which abound In
England, there exist a countless multitude
of charities of the most diverse kinds.
Some are quite obsolete, as when man
has given funds for redeeming Christians
captured by Barbary corsairs, or TO furnish
forth soldiers for the wars ia Ireland
Though perhaps some day the last-men-
toned use NAV be revived); others are for
public works, maintenance OF churches,
repair of sea-walls, and so forth. In one
parish some Jealous Puritan in the days
before the civil war, when preaching was
not so much attended to as the "godly"
party wished, has endowed "lecture-
ship" in the parish pulpit, fruitful source
of modern quarrels; in another some latent
High Churchman in the dead-water reigns
of the Georges has made q bequest for the
maintenance Of a second divine service
every Sunday, or the administration of
holy communion at least once ina quarter.
Some charities are Of a more convivial
and mundane character, There is mid
land town in which jovial testator has
ordained that yearly, upon Midsummer
Day, ever male iIhabitant of certain
street should be supplied out of the rents
of a certain farm, ''for the promotion OF
good fellowship" with glass Of beer and
4 pipe of tobacco, and that every child in
the street between the ages of three and
ten should have cake. OF like nature is
the beer which flows for the benefit of
thirty wayfarers at the gates Of the hospital
of st. Gross, near Winchester. Other char
tiles are of less cheerful description. So,
at Exeter, Mr. Griffith Ameredith founded
a charity s'for the buying of shrouds for
prisoners who should suffer at Ryngswell,'
the old place of execution at Heavitree, in
the suburbs of Exeter. We learn from the
reports of Charity Commissioners that al
the beginning of this century these shrouds
cost IS Cd each.
Euglishmen are inclined to deride the
French plan of promoting the moral quail
ties by. prix de vertu, and are not generally
aware that the like useful institutions
abound in their own country. So, for one
instance, a citizen of Devonshire town
in the year 1874, made it part of large
charity which he founded to give pen
sions to "any five religious and godly mer
within the county of Devon 1t is be
Iieyed that the trustees of this charity
have never, even in the worst OF subse

A Specimen Wisconsin, Horse.

There is horse in the First Ward that
is fully qualified to travel with Barnum.
The animal is nothing but steady-going
carriage horse, and, though he was known
TO be remarkably apt in unfastening gates
and opening feed bins, the full degree of
his talent was not disclosed until the re-
cent storm. Finding that his shoes were
too smooth for comfort during slippery
trip, he pushed the barn door open and
started on steady trot for the black
smiths. Once in the shop he stood back
and waited his turn as decorously as
though "going a-shopping' on his own
hook was an everyday occurrence. Finally
one Of the men brought out his tools and
began tapping on the four-footed custom
er's shoes as though putting on new set.
The animal showed unnistakable signs of
approval, and when the hammering was
finished trotted out and made his way
home, perfectly contented.-Janesv'ae Ga

An Evenings Amusement.

We were seated Ia the pleasant parlor
of a town house and F., with his
violin, and mamma and little sister at the
piano, had given US some very charming
music. There was still an hour before the
children's holiday bedtime should arrive,
and some one proposed that it should be
spent in pleasant game of word-guessing.
The sweetest and the dearest. obliging,
as usual, volunteered to go out of the room
while line of poetry was selected. The
line, from stanza of the "Ancient Mari
ner," was presently chosen:
1.-THE wedding guest he beat his breast
And our friend came in, and beginning at
one extreme of the circle, asked questions
of each person in turn. She was allowed
to ask any sort of question she pleased,
and the person questioned, in his or her
reply, was obliged to bring in deity, and
with as little emphasis as possible, the
word which had been assigned, for each of
us had taken word in order. Thus, No.
l had "the;" No. 2, wedding" No. 8
"guest," and so on. The questioner was
permitted three separate guesses as to the
word on hearing the answer of each, and
you would hardly believe that the famil-
lar line went twice around the circle be-
fore it was finally discovered.
Such an exercise is very much to be
commended for an evenings pleasure at
home. 1t gives an opportunity for nimble
wits in constructing puzzling sentences (;
and those who take part in the game
gather up sheaf of poetical lines which
Iinger in the memory. Odd bits of in
formation come to hand; and even we'll
read people are sometimes surprised to be
told that the line they thought belonged
to Moore was really written by Campbell,
or that some sentiment which they had
attributed to Shakespeare came from a
long-gone classic source.
After this game, if there be nuts and
apples for sociability, and a song or two
from the pretty daughter or the older
brother, another violin solo. or chapter
from "Ben Hur,n or some other good book,
the evening will be voted charmingly
satisfactory. For reading aloud at home,
'The Capitals of Spanish America" by
William Eleroy Curtis, has proved delight
ful, enlisting the attention of everybody,
and giving the pleasant experiences of
travel without going away from the fire.

In summer, when the conversation on
the piazza flags, such quiet amusements as
these come in very we'll to put the listless
mood to fight. 1t is worth while to plan
a little for an evenings enjoyment, so that

An Eastern Race which Docs Not Hold
Women as Slaves.

Women as Slaves.
From the New York Star]
That New York is a great cosmopolitan
city, with nearly every nation on the globe
represented in its population, is fact well
known. That we have 1000 Armenians
among that number is not so well known.
It is a fact, though. / met an intelligent
young man, r. Arminski, a few nights ago,
and he told me a number of interesting
facts about his people.
"My people," he said, shave been long
under the subsection of the Turk, and
though we are fighting race, there are SO
many internal dissensions among my peo-
pie that we have never been able to throw
off the yoke of the Sublime Porte. We
are one Of the few Eastern races which do
not hold our women practically as slaves;
but in Armenia woman has her accred-
tied rights of property holding and prop
erty earning. Although under Turkish
rule, Armenia makes good wine and spirits,
this she does under special charter Sc
cured from the Turkish Government
through the Armenian Patriarch in Con-
stautinople. He is at the head of the
Armenian Church, as the Pope is of the
Roman Catholics, or the Russian Archi-
mantrite is of the Church of Russia. The
Armenians are thrifty people, and her
workmen are skilled in many lines of labor
Especially are her artisans skilled in the
following fields: In weaving shawls, rugs,
altar cloths and cloaks; in embroidery,
when the real Turkish and Arabic styles
are followed, rather than the European; in
wood d-working and carving, as metal-smiths
and jewellers, where they excel in the man
ufacture of cheap but exceedingly orna-
mental jewelry.
'In religion the Armenian is, possibly.
more bigoted-if many use the term with
respect-than the followers of the Greek
Church, and between them and the Moslem
there is always the broad chasm of re-
ligious intolerance, even if they could ever
be united with their conquerors on other
questions. How could it be otherwise
under the oppression under which
the Armenians groan. When you pay
about three cents on a dollar tax
here, your Armenian brother pays seven
teen cents, and the tax-gatherer imposes
special taxes and fines to suit himself Yet
the religious feeling is SO strong among the
Armenians, that upon several occasions
when they could have combined with the
Greeks, Russians or Roman Catholics, and
succeeded in throwing off the Turkish yoke,
they have refused to join forces with what
they called the heretics.
"The Armenians are emigrating in large
numbers. There are about 1000 in this
country, of which fully 1000 are in this
city. There are colonies in every Euro
pean country, the greatest of which is that
In Russia. But Armenians go there no
more. The military services exacted of
them, and the taxes, have effectually
checked emigration in that direction, and
those who have gone there have begun to
move on and take up residences elsewhere.
Wherever they are, however, and with all
their religious fervency, they make good,
industrious citizens"

[St. Louis Globe Democrat
There are many colored people in the

not merely sect, but in some rude, savage

She reigns as long as she continues to

equivalent. Chosen for such qualities as
would give her natural supremacy-per-

every fierce and ignoble sort, she wields no
