A student,s Clever schsm-.

There was a rather popular, extravagant
young fellow, well known and well liked in
all sets, whose popularity led him frequently
into financial crises He was the nephew of
Mr.. Mortlock, the great Cambridge banker,
and also of the Bishop of Ely. The relatives
did all they could-paid and paid until they
would pay no more, and at last desired him
TO take his name of the boards This be re-
fused to do, but adopted an unusual expedient
to have his debts paid
he hired apple stall and q small tent,
placed them exactly opposite Mr.. Mortlock's
bank, with the inscription in large letters on
the stall: Fruit stall kept by Mr.. Mortlock,
nephew of Messrs. Mortlock, bankers, and of
the right reverend the Lord Bishop Of Ely
No change given" he passed the day seated
in the tent in q magnificent velvet lined
cloak, books on the table; beside him there
was a plate TO receive donations, which
poured in-sovereigns and half sovereigns
abounded. AS there was room for two in
the tent, friends took it by turns to sit with
him. Mr. Mortlock, the banker, could not
move out or even appear at the windows
without seeing q crowd, whose sympathies
were all with the stallkesper and who enjoyed
the joke immensely. The result was iDevita-
ble He had TO be bought of However, he
did not remain at college; the authorities
found an esrlv excuse to get rid of him.

A "Reminiscences.

While the Texas veterans were holding re-
union in Austi2, not long since, two venera-
bic men who had not seen each other for
many years were talking about the early
history Of Texas, and how much better things
were managed in those days than they are
now.
Among the incidents of bygone days was
murder trial which took place in the days of
the republic Of Texas, not long after the bat
tie Of San Jacinto. A man was brought be-
fore the court charged with having murdered
a neighbor, the father of q large family. The
murderer himself was an unmarried man. The
presiding judge, having read the indictment,
told the prisoner TO stand up and said to him:
Bill Jones, you have not acted right in
this matter. You have deprived good wo-
nan of her husband and made orphans Of
her children. If l turn you loose will you
marry the widow and support the family of
the deceasedT'
The prisoner said that he was more than
willing to do so. In fact he had shot her
husband in order that he could do that very
thing.
The widow had no objection, except that
she wanted q little more time to fix up for
the occasion. She, however, announced that
she was ready, and the judge pronounced the
happy couple man and wife without any de-
lay.-Texas Siftings

INCITBD TO RIOTING.
Leaders of the Anarchists Of Paris and
Lyons Arrested.

PARIS, April 29.-FoTty more anarchists,
among them being an Italian who gave
his name as Capriani, were arrested in
this city today for attempting to create
disorders by workingmen. The anarchists,
committee have resolved that the orders
of the police for the regulation Of the
demonstration on Thursday viii be obeyed
by the anarchists
Twelve anarchists were arrested in this
city yesterday Among those taken into
custody are the Marquise DemOres, his
secretary, NJ Mondac, and NJ. Provost,
secretary of the Hair Dressers' union. A
number Of additional arrest have been
made throughout France of persons who
are charged with melting the workingmen
TO riot and pillage on May ].
Further arrests have been made at
Lyons of anarchists who were endeavor-
ing to incite workmen to violence. The
police of the city visited the houses Of a
humber of suspects and seized explosives
and a number Of letters from conspiratOrs
In other cities.
The Temps says the police discovered in
the house of the Marquis DemOres printed
documents designed to incite wOrkingmen
TO disorder and found in NJ. Dumont's
house a secret press manifesto urging the
troops to mutiny. They also ascertained
that certain anarchists intended to throw
dynamite in order to effect a bloody reYo-
luton on May day.

Tho Chnrsficks.

1t is pretty sight at the beginning of a
japanese or Chinese feast to see the host help
his guests to sweets, as then is displayed the
best and most graceful play of thechopsticks
One can take a lesson as the master of the
feast daintily lifts cakes or confections and
places them on the plate or paper before each
guest the Chinese chopsticks are longer
than the japanese, often metal tipped and
decorated, and are used again and again.
Mandarins carry their own silver tipped
ivory chopsticks to a feast, wipe them clean,
and carry them home again when il is over.
In the common restaurants in Chinese cities
the chopsticks constitute a lottery for the
patrons. All the sticks are kept together in
deep round box, and certain ones are
marked on the lower end with 4 Chinese
character or number. The ones who select
those chopsticks from the box are entitled 10
an extra dish or portion without charge. In
the old city of Tien-Tsin, particularly, one is
half deafened when he passes a restaurant by
the rafting Of the boxes of choPsticks and
the shrill voices Of the proprietors screeching
the merits of their establishments at the top
of their lungs.-Eliza Ruhamat Scidu1ore in

OTHER WORLDS THAN OURS.
Discoveries Concerning Sirius That POin
to That Belief.

TO Inaf BSA1efs
By means of the spectroscope a very won
derful discovery has been made respecting
Sirius Astronomers bad noticed that this
star was in rapid motion through space, as il
was found that year by year il was changing
its position in the heavens, tTayersing in about
fifteen hundred years space equal TO the ap-
parent diameter OF the moon, at velocity of
no less than twenty miles per second. OF
course, by actual observation the only motion
capable Of being detected would be that which
was square to the line Of sight, so that al
though Sirius appears to Us TO move across
the heavens, be may really be travelling In a
slanting direction, either toward or from US.
No one would ever have expected 10 be able 10
tell whether star was approaching 70 or reced-
ing from Us, yet even this seemingly unsolvable
problem has of lste years been accomplished
by the spectroSoope. DR.. Higgins, our great
est authority on this subject, having identi-
fed certain lines in the spectrum OF Sirius as
those of hydrogen, found on comparison that
these were displaced in such a manner as TO
indicate that the star was receding from Us.
Il has been estimated that this recession,
combined with the thwart motion Of twenty
miles per second, gives Us the actual move
ment OF Sirius in space speed of about
thirty-three miles per second.
These, then, constitute some OF the chief
items of informatioa about Sirius at present
within our knowledge.
There seems TO be no reason to doubt that,
IN common with other SUES, he has his sys-
tenn Of planets circling round him after the
manner OF our own sun and what q system!
Vast as ours appears, it is dwarfed into in
significance compared with q system whose
ruling orb is 5000 times larger than that
which does duty for Us. There seems, also,
no reason TO doubt that these planets are III
tended TO be the abode Of life; IL maybe that
at the present moment none of them present
any signs Of life, but l think we may safely
infer without improhability that each one Of
those worlds has q destined period in its de-
velopment during which life, similar 10 that
which now prevails on our planet, would be
in eIistence What a world such one would
be, in size perhaps not inferior to that OF our
sun, himself million times larger than our
earth, and 1t may be that as this Srian world
is so vastly superior 70 ours in size, its inhab-
itants would be on scale in proportion to its
dimensions, a race Of beings of such intellect
and civilization compared with whom we are
