A Decidedly Mixed Pedigree.

Here is an amusing story, showing
the aptness with which lunatic will
turn an argument. An inspector visit
ing the asylum at Y was requested
by the medical superintendent to be
very careful to address certain patient
as "Your Imperial Majesty" the poor
man imagining himself to be julius
Cesar, and becoming furious If he did
not receive what he considered proper
respect The inspector was careful to
follow instructions, and all went we'll.
On asubsequent visit he again addressed
the patient by the same title. "What
do you mean?' was the reply; "don't
talk nonsense. I'm Plato" "Oh,n said
the inspector, 81 beg your pardon, but
thought you were julius Caesar last
year" well, yes, replied the lunatic,
80 was, but that was by another
mother" ...

oUTWITrING THE CLERK.
How = Clever Lawyer Got Back His Gil
ent's Deposit.


ent's Deposit.
'"The best lawyer story I know
Of" said a prominent clubman to a
San Francisco Examiner man, lis
this: A Napa County man arrived in
hotel, the name of which shall he un-
divulged. In the evening he handed the
clerk titty-doIIar bill tor sa1e-keep1ng,
saying: Pm going out to have look at
the elephant tonight and don't want
to carry much money around with me-
There happened to be only that one
clerk in the Office as he took the bill, put
it in an envelope and apparently stuck
it in the safe.
1.-TWO days later the visitor sauntered
into the hotel Office looking rather
sheepish and detected. Waiting until
he saw the clerk alone he sidled up and
said: Il will trouble you for that fifty
dollars, please
"'What fifty dollars?' asked the official,
coolly.
THE guest recalled the incident of
his handing over the money for safe
keeping, but in spite of his .insistence
the clerk denied all knowledge Of the
matter. VIII >reupon the man Of Nspa
County consulted a lawyer.
"'Procure another tifty-dollar BILL
said the lawyer, take a friend with
you, and go to the clerk again. Say you
lind you were mistaken and that you
discovered the bill in your pocket.
Ask him in your friends presence If
he will keep it in the safe until you need
it. Then come back to me for instruc-
TONS
''The visitor did as he was bid and
returned to his legal adviser the next
day. Now, go back to the hotel alone
and when you find your clerk disengaged
ask him for your money
''This the visitor did and the money
was forthcoming.
"'Now,' said the man Of law, when the
client applied for further orders, take
the friend who was a witness to your
handing over the second fifty-dollar bill,
60 with him to the clerk and ask for
your bank note again.
The ruse was entirely successful.
The clerk, finding that his victim had
witness to the transfer of his money and
that denial would be useless, stepped
behind the desk, dug the original fifty
dollar bill from his pocket, thrust it into
an envelope. stepped to the safe, and,
pretending TO take 1T out, handed back
his booty"

With Head TO the North.

The superstitious belief that human
beings should sleep with their heads
towards the north is now believed to be
based upon scientific principle. The
French Academy of Sciences has made
experiments upon the body Of O guillo-
tined man which go to prove that each
human body is in itself an electric bat
terry, one electrode being represented
by the head and tho other by the feet.
The body Of the subject upon which
experiments were made was taken i'm
medistely after death and placed upon a
pivot free to move in any direction.
After some vacillation the head portion
turned towards the north, the pivot
board remaining stationary. One of the
professors turned 1t half way around,
but 1t soon regained q position with the
head-piece to the north, and the same
results were repeatedly obtained until
organic movement ceased

Ladies' UnwrinkIed Stockings.

Society girls might take hint from the
actresses about how to avoid wrinkles around
the ankles that silk stockings will nearly always
make, says the Kansas City Times. Pull the
stocking on-make it look as smooth and neat
as you can-fasten it well at the top, then
take the point of the heel and pull it under the
foot toward the toes. This will take out three
or four inches of ''slack." Hold the point
firmly and put your slipper on. The pressure
This way of wearing the heel under the foot
is pretty hard on the silk, but it's the only way
to keep the unsightly wrinkles from the ankle
A woman whom / knew told her son this: "My
boy, don't ever marry woman whose stocking
wrinkles at the ankle.'

Stenciled Oil Painting gs.

From the New York Star.
''The increasing interest in art Matters"
said Mr.. j. Staples Rowe at the Glenham Hotel
yesterday, "has given rise to very funny in
dustry-the manufacture Of Stencil paintings
The tradesman buys or tries some pretty pic
ture as model. An artist covers it with very
fine tracing paper and draws on one sheet the
outlines Of everything painted in blue; second
sheet receives the outlines of everything red;
third, yellow; a fourth, green; fifth, orange;
sixth, brown, and SO on. These tracing papers
are then transferred to stenciling board and
the outlined forms cut out with steady knife.
Everything is now ready for work. hundred
canvases of the same size as the original are
taken, and a boy or man workman paints each
with one stencil in one color. When all of the
stencils have been used the picture is said to be
rough-fnished. The artist smooths on the bad
points and lines, varnishes the canvas, and the
thing is DONE In this way 100 copies of a fine
picture are made at cost of not over three
dollars apiece Each is framed in a coarse but
glaring frame They are sent to cheap stores
auction-rooms or given to peddlers. The stores
sell them for twenty-five dollars on an average,
while the peddler offers them for 800, and often
sells them for ten and even less. There is usu-
ally handsome profit to all concerned"

STOCKINGS THE PROPER THING

Hint For Those Who Contemplate Max
ing Wedding Presents.
From the Philadelphia Press.
If you should happen to be in despair as to
what present to give to a bride at Easter tide,
it may help you out of the difficulty to know
that the fashion has come down to giving silk
stockings. When the daughter Of the Prince of
Wales welded the Duke of Fife, among the
many gifts she received were stockings Of the
finest silk and of all styles. 1t quickly became
the rage in London to give silk stockings as
presents, although there are people who regard
it as somewhat indeicate.
Shopkeepers say that this sort of present is
very much in demand, and so good an author
ity on all social customs as Mrs. Astor has de-
cided that there is no indelicacy in such pro-
given by Mrs. Astor this winter the favors for
finest candied violets and rose leaves These
gifts created good deal of comment at the
time, but Mrs. Astor leads the way in all things
socially and has had hosts of imitators.
Miss Stokes, who recently became the Baron
ess Halkett, and who received as many hand
some gifts as any bride of the last ten years. re-
served one table for the display of handsome
hosiery received from her friends. The men
about town and others who have been on famil,
| lar terms with Herman Oelrichs, who is SO soon
! to wed Miss Fair, of San Francisco, have
already begun to leave orders in the various
| shops for gifts to this bride, who is to bring
dowry of S., ,000, 900 to her husband. AS it il

Georges suddenly awakened from his long

the artist, as he at length opened the door to
his self invited guests.

The second division formed on Main

Seamen and Longshoremen, although the
Oakland Lathers helped to swell the line
and made good display.
This division was commanded by Marshal

Union, and the musical accompaniment was
furnished by Walcott's and Blum's band.

A LEAP 10 ESCAPE DEATH.


Little Mamie Burke's Remarkable Dis
play of Seif-PossessiOD.
Little Mamie Burke, aged years, living
at 1912 Woodland avenue, recently showed
q spirit of self-poSsession seldom met with
in a child of age. Mamie was playing near
her home. and in her play went on the new,
railroad bridge under the old county bridge
across small stream in Malinsyille. While
on the bridge she was startled by the ap-
pearanee of an approaching train. With
quick thought she measured her chances of
escape, aud, without the least hesitation,
adopted the method which seemed the SAT-
est. She slipped through the ties of the
bridge and jumped into the shallow stream
beneath.
Several men passing near the place saw
the brave little ones leap, and. going to her
rescue, soon landed her on the bank. The
leap had saved her life, and when helped
from the water she was enly slightly cut in
her forehead from striking one of the stones
in the stream.
Mamie was taken to the University Hos
pital, where her wound was dressed, after
which she was taken home.-Philadelph
Times.
