Took Her for an Astronomer.

Paris Dispatch to the London Daily TELEGRAPH
Astronomers In petticoats are rarely met
with that it is not surprising if they collect
crowds around them when they are supposed
to be studying the stars in public place This
was the case with Mile .Laprevote, a'good-look-
ing cook, who, being abandoned by her lover.
frst'threw vitriol at him. and some time after
ward bought "a long telescope sat On a chair
outside her decelvers place of business and
began to watch his movements through her
powerful glass For considerable time the
small boys and idlers of the locality imagined
that mademolselle was devoting herself TO as
Economical pursuits but at last her attitude
and actions were observed not only by her
former admirer, but by his commercial
partner, and by many of his important
customers. As the owner of the telescope re-
fused to give 1t up and 90 away. she was sum
moned by her eN-lOver and has appeared before
a magistrate, to whom she unfolded a peculiar
tale. She said that she had known the plaintiff
for several years He resided with his family
IN a Hat OF the house wherein she acted as a
cook. but he had private room near the
roof, where servants usually have their quar-
tiers. tie once went into her sixth floor

qualntance between the two then commenced

everything that had passed between the plain

parts. Curlously enough. frog deprived of

mite period, eating what Is put in his mouth
and pursuing existence in 9 sort Of automatic
manner.
ToADs AND THEIR STONES"
The frog. like the owl, has been accepted as
a comic animal. unlike the toad. which has been
set apart with the bat as a creature of mystery
and even dread. OF all superstitions regard
ing the toad the most interesting is that which
relates to the stone in Its head. For centu-
ries this stone, which every toad was supposed
to carry. was believed universally TO be sure
charm against poisons and the evil eye, and
ladies and gentlemen commonly wore toad
stones az amulets. To determine a real toad
stone from false one this recipe was gwen:
Hold YOUR stone before toad so that he
may see it well and. if it be a good and true
stone. the toad will leap toward it to snatch 1t
from you, for he envieth SO much that a man
should have that stone"
Toad stones were costly because of the I'M
Willingness of the creature to give up its treas
ure which, even when dying, it would swallow
to conceal 1t. One sure way recommended for
securing a stone was this Take large and
old he toad and place him on u table upon a
red cloth, watch him carefully all night and
before morning he will yomit up his stone"
There are plenty of these toad stones now in
existence: they are OF particularly good ivory
and are shaped somewhat like an acorn cup
Unfortunately for the superstition, however,
science has discovered that they are nothing
more nor less than the teeth of the extinct
'hump-toothed shark" a fish that existed in a
remote geological age and left its teeth be-
hind 1t. To ind one was sufficiently rare to
render 1t a curiosity. and inasmuch as it did
not look like tooth or anything else in par
ticular, the mysterious object passed very well
for toad stone.
LIVING FOR AGES.
That toads have been found alive in cavities
IN rocks. wherein they must have been inclosed
hundreds of centuries before, there is the best
scientific evidence for believing. The only
theory advanced to account for the marvel is
that they were shut up while in a torpid state
by the forming stone and remained there for
thousands upon thousands of years i'll u condi-
tlon that implied 10 waste to their bodies and
therefore. 10 need of nutrition. When the
tools of the workmen released them they
quickly revived and awoke 10 health aud live
Illness after their sleep OF epochs. With what
emotions of mingled awe and reverence must
the ephemeral man of the nineteenth century
whose life Is but bubble on the shores of
eternity, gaze upon the hoary toad who, ill his
solitary crypt, has outlived the agesI

chester, Allegheny In front of the Hope fire
engine house they began campaign Of prayer
and racket. They intended to convert the
whole neighborhood. They reckoned firemen
among their worst foes. They feared the con-
slant intimacy of the firemen with confia-
grations had made them less fearful of the
fires beyond than they otherwise would have
been.
After a season Of prayer and war dances the
leader approached one Of the firemen saying:
Brother, come with US; We are on the road to
heaven"
How long have yon been on the way?" stol-
idly inquired the fireman.
1.-TWO years" replied the missionary.
'And you've only gotten us far as Pittsburgh"
'Yes"
''Well then, guess I'll take shorter route, :"
said the fireman, as he took a chew Of tobacco
and wandered back to the house.

Expected the Lightning Stroke.

From the Lewiston Me) journal.
A strange incident is told concerning the
fatal thunderbolt at Homer N. Chase's, at Buck
field. Mr.. and Mrs. Chase were in Auburn
Thursday afternoon and before the shower
were in the National Shoe and Leather Bank
in Auburn. Mr.. Chase was talking with
some Of the bank officials and was asked
if he was not going to stay over in
the afternoon and see the races. He said
that he thought not Il noticed just as came

over the west and it looks to me as though it
was right up in our vicinity. Lightning has
struck there good deal. Our house is on a
knoll with ledge and / have an idea that there
might be some sort Of attraction about the
ground" Mr.. Chase accordingly left for
home and, as is known, reached there only to
find that the lightning had descended upon his
home, prostrating his son and killing his hired

Is Mr.. Garrett's Painting an Antiquity?


A painting for which Mr.. Robert Garrett paid
5000 reached Baltimore on Tuesday by the
Allan line steamer Carthagenian and is now
held in the United States bonded ware house
at Locust Point awaiting the pay
ment of the customs dues. The
painting, says the Baltimore sun, was
shipped from London and Matthew Robson,
Sons d Co., who are the brokers having charge
of the matter in the custom house, said yester-
day that they had been informed by the United
States consul at Liverpool that the picture
be admitted duty free, il had
been painted prior to 1900 and could there
fore be classified an antiquity. The
customs officials, however, contend that the
painting was made since 1900, and as there is
no proof TO show that il was executed by an
American artist, 1t is subject to duty, and will
be held until the amount is paid. The customs
laws admit antiquities well as works of
art by American artists free of duty Mr..
Roth, the agent for the Messrs. Robson SAYS
there is no intention of resisting the customs
dues if the picture is subject to duty, but
that il will be taken out Of bond soon the
necessary amount for this purpose is received
from Mr.. Garrett or his representatives. The
duty on the picture will be about "a, 500.

100000 for a Pretty Chambermaid.

From the Chicago Inter-Oce
The snug little fortune of 100000 in cash is
waiting in st. Paul TO be turned over to a little
German girl who five years ago was cham
bermaid at the Palmer House. As there is
now no one in the housekeeper's department
of that hotel who was there five years ago. and
the girls friends know nothing of her where
abouts since that time, the st. Paul cousin who
was anxiOusty inquiring for Anna Hottie at the
Palmer yesterday afternoon obtained but little
satisfaction.
Some years before her appearance at the
Palmer the girl ran away from a comfortable
home in Bavaria to follow her lover to this coun-
try, the match having been forbidden by her
parents. The lover. however was not TO be
found on her arrival at New York ana after a
years unhappy residence with distant conuec-
tions in Minnesota she started out TO earn her
living, and, in spite of her Ipretty face
which might have led her in her poverty to
another life, became a chambermaid at the
Palmer. There all track of her is lost but the
Minnesota people are now quite anxious to
claim her dear relative, for an old aunt
with a won" attached to her name has lust
died in Munich, and through some technically
that 600 600 goes TO Anna Hottie.
