tortion was their purpose. He also stated
that he had received ''proof-sheet" OF an
article rejecting on his moral character,
which article Choynski announced would
be published by him in his paper.
Choynski pleaded in his defense that he
had no intention OF Matchmaking Liver
more, but that the article was written upon
information furnished him by person
whom he refused to name. lie said lie did
not write the articlel and did not know who
was its author.
Argument was made for the defense BIZ
Robert Ferral and Joseph Rothschild, and
for the prosecution by Assistant District
Attorney John l.. Love. At noon the jury

ton, returned TO the courtroom to have the
newspaper and letters, already introduced
as evidence, read. 1t then retired for fur
Their deliberations, and after twenty min

An Ant Renlx.

A we'll known Danish actor had re-
Gently an order conferred upon him. On
the day of reception he presented him
self at court to thank the king for the
distinction. A large number Of gentle
men were assembled in the ante-room
awaiting admission, and as the room
was very draughty the actor, who had
just recovered from a severe cold, craved
permission to keep on his hat. This was
granted, and comedian took a seat
In n corner and silently rehearsed his
part for the evening. Atlast the equerry
in waiting called out the name of the
actor, who, forgetting he had already
donned his hat, quickly snatched up a
tall sinner from a window ledge, and
thus equipped entered the audience cham
Der. The king, astonished at the ex.
traordinary apparition, burst into a
hearty laugh, while the actor was dun
founded at this exhibition of hilarity on
the part of the monarch.
"My good friend" the king said at
length, "you have afforded me plenty Of
amusement before today. Excuse my
saying that 1 a quite understand your
keeping a hat on your head, but what is
the use of the other which you carry in
your hand?"
"Ah, your majesty isright, as always"
replied the artist, as with a gesture of
alarm he put his hand to his head; 1.-TWO
hats arc most certainly too many for a
man who has lost his head."-Kielcr

An Impatient Animal.


In a store in Otis street is a firm whose
head resides in the suburbs, and who
frequently drives to and from his resi-
dence, leaving his horse at the door
with a weight attached to the strap.
The 'Doctor," as he is called, fire.
quently grows inpatient, casts long
ing looks around, and sometimes
whinnies for his master. The other day,
having waited oyerlong, as he undoubt-
eddy thought, Doctor reached down,
picked up the strap, and with the weight
dangling from his mouth set off in brisk
and independent fashion for home, leav-
ing his master to follow on foot or in
horse car, as if, having waited long
enough, how other people got home was
no concern of his.-Boston Herald.

She Makes Herself rnv.lu.ble to /. r

She Makes Herself Invaluable to = roor
OLD Women from the Country.
In o Fifth avenue stage an old and
meanly dressed woman unoonsciously
made the ride merry for three snowy and
fashionably attired damsels. First, she
fumbled in her rusty skirt a long time
trying to find her pocket; then she thrust
her hand through an unexpected slit in
her gown instead Of thesupposed pocket,
and the look of intense dismay on her
face as sho imagined some villain had
cut off that pocket sent the young
women into convulsions Of silent laugh
ter. Soon the poor creature recovered
herself, renewed the search and found
the pocket. Removing o handkerchief, o
snuff box and q pair of cotton gloves, she
at last produced the shabbiest pocket
book ever seen, causing a great number
OF mods and becks and wreathed smiles
from the trio of observers.
Then she fumbled a long time with
tho ~fastenings Of her treasury; these
finally undone, she took out brass thin
bic, a troche, a spool Of twist, q section
of q paper Of pins and last the solitary
nickle it contained. Then she peeped
about for the proper place to deposit the
nickel. None seemed to have been pro-
vided. The honest creature got on her
feet, and the thimble, tho troche, the
twist and the snuff box tumbled to the
floor, the pin sticking, like an old friend,
to her skirt. Needless, apparently, of
this disaster she pottered about the wall
behind her seat, pressing her trembling
fingers against every nail and button and
bit of fringe, but found no place for her
fare. Then she dropped to her seat with
a loud complaint.
"There amt no contribution box nor
nothin' for the fare" she said. "Where
I come from there's alters q box; n nov
my thimble n mysnuf box n my troche
is all Como to Joppy," and she began to
cry.
The merriment of the three damsels
was now almost beyond control, though
they affected well bred airs by covering
their mouths with dainty handkerchiefs
and looking out of the window. A
slight young girl, simply attired, but
with an air of elegance about her, had

observer of the scene. She now rose,
picked up the old woman's scattered
property. and handing it to her shyly
said:
"Allow me to hand your faro up, and
tell me where you want to get off. I'll
ask the driver to look after you"
After a deal more fumbling with the
ancient pocketbook a slip of paper with
an address was produced. The address
and the promised request were given to
the driver, who was charged to take par
ticular care Of the lady, us she was fee
BILE. The grateful old woman was as.
sured that she would bewell looked after,
and the young girl left the stage. As
she reached tho ground q gentleman
raised his hat and said:
"Good morning, Miss Gould"
She was Jay Gould's daughter Helen.

Before We Turn to Dust.

How long will a human body remain
in the earth before it decays until it can
not be distinguished from the surround
ing clays is a question as yet undecided
by the scientists. Much depends upon
the character of the soil and the differ
ent elements of which it is composed.
In countries Astounding in limestone, or,
again, in regions thoroughly saturated
with alkaline waters, human flesh will
retain a natural color and frmness for
an indefinite period of time. The boys
of Ireland have yielded up bodies fresh
and natural as life that had been buried
in their Shiny depths for centuries. It
is said to be an historical fact that the
bodies of three Roman soldiers were
found in a peat bog on the Emerald
Isle in the year 1869, A. D., fresh and
life like, although they had been buried
almost sixteen centuries.-Exchange.

Plant Motion.

Motion seems to DO necessary endow-
ment of life. "Plants," says Gray, "have
no need of locomotion, and so are gen
orally fixed fast to the spot where they
grow. Yet many plants move their
parts freely, sometimes when there is no
occasion for it that we can understand,
and sometimes accomplishing byit some
useful end. The sudden closing of the
leaflets of the sensitive plant and the
dropping of its leaf stalk when Jared,
also the sudden starting forward of the
stamens of the barberry at the touch,
are familiar examples.
"Such cases seem at first view so
strange and so different from what we
expect of q plant that these plants are
generally imagined to be endowed with
a peculiar faculty denied to common
vegetables. But a closer examination
will show that plants generally share in
this faculty; that similar movements
may be detected in them all, only-like
those of the hands of a clock or Of the
shadow of n sun dial-they are too slow
for the motion to be directly SEEM"

Statucs In london.

Near one of the entrances of the most
beautiful park in London there are four
eyesores that were once, no doubt, pretty
groups of statuary. 1t is years since !
noticed them first, but even then they
were hardly recognizable as ever having
been ornamental. And there they stand
yet, blotched, battered, scabbed scarce
crows, such as one could not match in
any town in tho world. Half the statues
in London look like the victims of cry
sipelas. In some tho disease is more ad-
vanced than in others. Queen Anne's
was the most distressing case. The fig
ure of that sovereign lady in st. Paul's
~churchyard was minus its nose when l
saw it first, and remained in that state
for about ten years. And goodness
knows, a nose is a useful member in
England, in winter especially.-Max
O'Rell.

Circus Rings Always tho ssme.

How solidly custom has grown ut tho
circus is shown in the fact that the ring
is always AZ feet 8 inches in diameter.
Go where you will, skirt the world from
China to Peru, with diverging trips to
the frosty Caucasus and the desert of
Sahara, look in all the great towns,
Paris, Vienna, Babylon, and never a
circus will you find without a ring AZ
feet 8 inches in diameter. So it always
was and SO it always will be. There isa
reason for this remarkable uniformity.
Circus riders and circus horses, natur-
ally nomadic, are by their life made
very much more SO.
Wherever their wanderings bring them
they must find the ring always the same,
else they will be disturbed in their per-
Torrance, if not really rendered incapa-
BILE. Trained to the forty-two feet nine
inch ring, the horse and his rider have
grown used, worn n might say, to the
exact angle of declivity toward the CEN
ter OF the ring which the radius of twen-
ty-one feet and a given speed produce.
The mound on the circumference of the
ring always has on the inside a bevel, so
to speak, of earth, at the same angle as
that into which radius and speed throw
the driver. As for speed, that, after the
horse has gone round two or three times
and is warmed to his work, is the same
through the act. In fact, a strap gener-
ally holds his head SO that he cannot get
beyond a certain pace.
The ringmaster snaps his whip and
walks about excitedly, the clown shouts
eli! hi" the rider skips about on the
horse, to which he gives an occasional
clip with his whip, the band plays taste,
and faster, and louder and louder, with a
preponderance of bass drum and cym
bal, and the horse joys on at the same
old pace, until with the last ium1
through a tissue balloon the act is ended
and Mile. Petitpas gracefully seats her
self on the flat saddle and shakes out he,
spangled skirts. Then the horse know,
that that part of the show is over, anj
without waiting to be guided trots off t,
the stable tent, where his rider, if she b
kindly d~isposed-and circus riders al
ways are kind to their horses-gives hin
an apple or a bit of candy.-Bostol
