An Ant Renly.

A well 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 our comedian took a seat
in one 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.
tr%aordinary apparition, burst into a
hearty laugh, while the actor was dunn
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 can quite understand your
keeping q hat on your head, but what is
the use of the other which you carry in
your hand?"

replied the artist, as with a gesture Of
alarm he put his hand to his head; "twc

A Mine of neeswax.

No one has over been able to give an
authentic account of how such enor-
nous quantities of beeswax came to be
deposited on the beach neal Nehalem.
Specimens are found along tho beach in
various places, but it is most plentiful
neal the mouth of Nehalem. AS the sea
shifts the bars pieces of it are washed
ashore, and large quantities are found
by blowing in some of the low land near
the beach. There are spots where the
sea has never reached in the memory of
tho Oldest settlers, and which are cover
ed with a good sized growth of spruce,
where deposits of the wax may be found
by digging.
Specimens of the wax may be found
at the house of any settler on the beach,
and to all appearances it is genuine bees
wax. Several tons have been unearthed,
and n man shipped a large amount to
San Francisco once, for which he re-
ceived $500. In quality it is as good as
any in the market, and has retained its
familiar odor through all its rough usage
and age. It is supposed by some and SO
stated that it came from the wreck of a
Spanish vessel over a century ago.
Others say it came from a wrecked Chi
nese junk. These traditions in regard
to the wrecks come from the Indians
and are not reliable. It is possible this
beeswax is really ''lost treasure which
people are digging for on the Nehalem.

Statues in London.

Near one of the entrances of the most
beautiful park in London there arc four
eyesores that were once, no doubt, pretty
groups of statuary. 1t is years since I
noticed them first. but even then they
were hardly recognizable Is over 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
c%hurchyard was minus its nose when l
saw it first, and remained in that state
for about ten years. And goodness
knows, u nose is q useful member in
England, in winter especially.-Max

An Inn patient 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 z"Dector," as he is called, fire.
quently grows impatient, casts long
ing looks around, and sometimes
whinnies for his master. The other day,
having waited overlong, 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.

A P%hiladelphia Hero,

A man came to the conclusion that it
was an act of moral cowardice to tip a
waiter i'll a restaurant. The cowardice
lay, he argued, in being afraid of the
walters scorn at the apparent parsi-
mony. He determined to be morally
brave thereafter. The opportunity came.
He finished his dessert and the waiter,
in the customary manner of solicitude
assumed by walters when the customer
looks good for an ample tip, placed his
coffee before him. He weakened a trifle,
but resolved to brace himself. He drank
his coffee somewhat more deliberately
thai usual, hoping to attain a state of
mental composure, but as the time ap-
preached for disappointing the attentive
negro, who already saw in his minds
eye q big round shining coin, the brave
man grew less equal to the deed he had
resolved to commit.
He handed the waiter q greenback in
payment of his bill and dallied with the
finger bowl while the waiter went to get
tho change. The change came back on
the silver plate, two quarter pieces ly-
ing, us usual, q bit aloof from the rest
of the change. The mans eye sought
that of the waiter as he tremblingly
reached for the change, and he behold
on the negroes face an expression of OK
pectancy almost realized. With a dni-
cult stimulation of calmness he succeeded
in grasping all the change, including the
two quarter pieces. Daring not to look
at the walters co%untenance, he fastened
from the room looking as if he had COM
mitted q crime. "Ifelt SO, too" he said,
as he related the incident afterwarl,
land l won't subject myself to that feel
ing again for any consideration. I could
feel that writer's glance of contempt
upon my back"
Awoman finds it quite easy to be NOR
ally brave under such circumstances.
Why is it so?-Philadelphia Press.

Looking Out for the Cake.

She was the blacklist and brightest of
little darby girls, a regular Topsy, only
IL years old. who washed the dishes,
swept the floors and did all sorts of odd
jobs for a Maine household, and when
she wasn't otherwise occupied caught
flies. One of the ladies had a cake in
the oven and cautioned the little wench
not to bang the doors as she had been
doing, telling her she would cause the
cake to fall. Shortly afterwards they
noticed that 'Ginny seemed to have lost
her voice and confined her talk tc
whispers.
why in the world are you whisper
ing at such a rate, 'Ginny? Why dom
you speak np?' asked the mistress.
"Cause Tse 'fraid Missy Ellen's cake'I

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, OF,
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 at life that had been buried
in their Shiny depths for centuries. 1t
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.

Put Your Hand Into Hot Metal.

Put Your Hand Into Hot Metal.
It is more or less true that the naked
hand may be plunged with impunity
into molten metal. NJ. B%ouligny, who
made a special study of what he called
the "spheroidal" state of bodies, proved
on his own person that it is possible to
plunge the hand into molten metal and
yet sustain no injury. The theory is
this: The hand Of the operator having
been carefully moistened with a very
volatile liquid, such a alcohol OF ether,
is to be plunged rapidly into the molten
metal; for some cases the natural hui
nudity of the skin may do as well. The
moisture is thrown by its sudden con-
tact with the metal into the spheroidal
state, and there is therefore no actual
contact between the hand and the metal,
but a thin layer of vapor is i~nterposed
between them.-Chatter.

Safety chains between passenger cars
are largely in use, and although proba-

is toward their general use. Passenger

And q smile of radiant beauty,

Like a ray Of golden sunshine
That lights up some darkened place.

And gone where the shadows gray.
For that smile Of friendly greeting
Had banished tho gloom away.

How free from care or sorrow
Thy happy life would be,

Circus Rings Alvays tho samo.

How solidly custom has grown at tho
circus is shown in the fact that the ring
is always 42 feet 0 inches in diameter.
Go where you will, skirt tho world from
China to Peru, with diverging trips to

Sahara, look in all the great towns,
Paris, Vienna, Babylon, and never a
circus will you find without a ring AZ

was and so it always will be. There is
reason for this remarkable uniformity.
Circus riders and circus horses, natur-
