Tho Grounds at Chautauqua.

Chautauqua is IL village of tents and
houses, Swiss chalets and board shan
ties, "halls," u hotel and an amphithea-
tire whichis a strange looking place when
empty and q remarkable spectacle when
filled. It is on a side hill, which has
been excavated to form q hollow, which
is lined with closely set tiers of benches,
separated by paths which converge and
slope down to the platform below the
organ loft. The sides are open. The
roof, which rises toward the center, is q
perfect sounding board. The amphithea-
tire will seat about seven thousand per-
sons. Its acoustics are admirable. When
there is any entertainment in prospect
people go there hours before the time
appointed in order to secure seats. Men
take books and papers and women read
or work to while away the time Of wait
ing. Those who arrive late form part
of the crowd, sometimes eight or ten
deep, standing around outside under the
projecting roof, which forms q shelter

Diplomacy of Walters.

My waiter knows as much English as
1 do German, and so we get on beauti-
fully. On n of the hot days when he
came for my order I YEARLY said, II
will stick to beef" "Stickterbef; vot
vas dot? We don't hat some dose stick
terbef," said this steady and stolid son
Of Germany. He knew "rosbef' and
"befsteak," but "stickterbef" was too
much for him. A negro waiter will
never acknowledge that he does not
know the thing you ask for, o that
they do not keep the article, but he will
always lie out of it some way.
Someyears ago the learned DR.. Thomp-
son and | went into an eating house
where there were negro walters, and l
gave my order, whereupon the doctor
calculated, Duplicate for me-" and con-
tinued his talk.
"What is dat you say, sar?' asked the
man of color.
Duplicate for me-" said the doctor
impatiently.
1--WE have no duplicate today, sar.
Wednesday is our regular day for dupli-
cate, sar," said this man and brother.
The doctor laughed until | was
ashamed of him.-Portland Argus.

Against the Chinese.

Chief Of Police Crowley. of San Fran
cisco, who has been at the head of the
police department for eighteen years,
has filed u strong Indictment against the
Chinese of that city. lie says the Chi
nese there commit more crimes against
tho law in proportion to their number
than any rae or community, and the
detection of the perpetrators of such
crimes is more difficult than the detec-
ton of criminals of any other class, be-
cause Cinnamon refuse to disclose the
identity of their criminals. They have
no regard for the obligations of an oath,
and are becoming more vicious and inn
moral year by year. The chief favors
the removal of the Chinese quarter
Exchange.

An Honest LAWYER.

Hon. William L. Marcy was one morn
ing talking with a friend when he re-
ceived a letter, saying in substance:
Enclosed find our check on q New
York bank for $1,000, which we send
you as a retainer in a suit, the particu-
lars of which we will write you in a few
days"
"What shall I dol" asked Mr.. Marcy
of his friend.
"Put it in your pocket and wait for
business" was the answer.
ono, sir" said the upright lawyer,
otis q bribe."
He thereupon inclosed the check in an
envelope together with a note, telling
his correspondent that after he had
learned the character Of the suit he
would accept the retainer, if the case
proved one which he could undertake.
The letter was sent by return mall

A Lecturer comp1imentsd.


While Max ORell was on a lecturing
tour in this country he was one day ap-
preached by a young man who thanked
him earnestly for his lecture the previous
night, saying: II never enjoyed myself
more in my life" The pleased lecturer
grasped his admirers hand. II am
glad" he said, "that my humble effort
pleased you so much" YES" said the
young man, 'it gave me immense pleas
ure. You see. I am engaged to a girl in
town, and her family all went to your
show, and / had her at home all to my.

His Mind Unsettled by a Dog Bite.

His Mind Unsettled by q Dog Bite.
A curious case presented itself at the
Pasteur institute Wednesday in the per-
son of q man who had received a slight
bite on the little finger Of his left hand.
The hand and forearm swelled to enor-
nous proportions and caused the man
e~xcruciating pain. The hydrophobia
question has been agitated so much late
ly that the man at once concluded that
be was becoming a victim of the dread
malady. Tuesday night, while he and
his wife were peacefully sleeping, he
suddenly awoke and almost bit a piece
out of her neck. This circumstance as
much as anything else put the man in a
distressing state of mind. He deter
mined to apply for admission to the Pas
teur institute.
While waiting in the parlor his mind
suddenly became a blank, his face as
sumed a CHASTITY hue, and the eyes stuck
out in their sockets to much more than
their normal size. He talked wildly,
and could remember nothing that had
happened. All at once he came out Of
his strange condition and talked natural
ly. He said he remembered losing his
senses, but further than that he knew
nothing. The dog that bit him is COM
mon II and is not mad, but the physi-
clans at the institute think that the mat
ter has preyed so forcibly upon the
mans mind that it has temporarily un-
settled him.-New York Tribune.

Liver medicine, made me feel like a

Florence Nightingale,s Fortune.

Miss Florence Nightingale has been
left $500 a year by her sister, the late
Lady Verney, who died last May. The
two sisters were daughters Of the late
Mr.. William Edward Nightingale, Of

name was originally Shore, he having
come of a good old Yorkshire family.
He married in 1918 the widow of Ed
ward Nightingale, took that name and
purchased the estate of Embley Park,
Hants. He left two daughters, the ED
est Frances, who became the second
wife of Sir Harry Verney, Bart, and
the famous and admirable Florence, who
nobly undertook the conduct of the war
hospitals at Scutari and in the Crimea
from 1854 to 1856.-London Letter.

Tho Tuxedo Coat Astonislles Iondoners.
Although tho new evening coat made
its appearance in several directions dur
ing last season, it has not met with such
a measure of support as to elevate it
from u fad into a fashion. 1t is with
some surprise, therefore, that Mr.. Charles
Warner is seen to wear one of these
strange garments in the drawing room
scene in "a Million Of Money" Does
this betoken u boom in coats? Are we
to cut off our tails and become gentle
manly in jackets? That is what a gen.
eral wearing Of the new coat means. It
is merely the old coat curtailed. The
upper front of the coat is cut in just the
same shape as the swallowtail, so as to
show the utmost expanse of snowy shirt
bosom. At the part where the tails
commence the coat ceases. 1t is actu-
ally nothing mor than a glorifed copy
of one of the ordinary morning jackets
Worn for so many years.-London Court
Journal.

MYTH,

There is no line storm. Such direct
assertion requires a certain temerity
within the confines Of New England,
since popular faith in the equinoctial is
strong hereabout, and can with difficulty
be dissuaded from such a choice tradi-
ton, but the fact remains that the regu-
lation gale supposed to be due in these

GOOD NIeHTl

The silver moon finds rest,
Among whose raven locks, with unkempt care,
Shine stars as pendants there,
Tireless and watchful, though long thy vigil be,
Breathe I to thee,
Good night

Gay silence guards from slip,
Across whose peaceful, deep illumined eyes
Soft, misty yelling flies,
In whose strong, tender arms tho Garth rolls

Breathe I to thee,
