Three lahorers were smoking their
pipes during the noon hour few days
ago on South Fifth avenue, says the New
York Times, when welLdressed young
man came briskly along holding an un-
lighted cigarette in his fingers.
MY man, said he to one of the labor
ers, @will you accommodate me with a
ight?"
@Sortinly, sor, replied the laborer
stolidly, and he fumbled about his cloth
ing until he found match, lighted it,
and passed it up to the young man.
Thanks, said the cigarette-smoker,
@but it wasn't necessary for you to light
a match. l would as lief have lighted
my cigarette from your pipe.
~Oi don't doubt it, sor, Oh don't doubt
it, returned the man, @but do ye see,

Lawyer Ashley, of New York, was
telling Judge Davy, says the Detroit
Free Press, a story of Daudet, the nov
elist, who is extremely near-sighted. The
story ran thus: Daudet visited some
place in which was kept many animals.
He sauntered slowly about, peering into
their cages, until he came to a secluded
spot where furry object not in a cage
attracted his attention. @Ahi" said the
distinguished Frenchman, "this must
be tame bear, and taking some cake
from his pocket he flung it, with a
There, old fellow" straight into the
face of a Russian nobleman, who, en-
veloped in his sables, had stopped to look
at the bears near by. Imagine his anger
and surprise. Daudet apologies, etc. !,
etc, etc.
The judge listened intently, but after
the lawyer had finished he said gravely:
Il can tell you something far ahead of
that in the way of mistakes caused by
near-sightedness.
"A friend of mine who lives in the
suburbs came from the city one summer
evening just at twilight. He had broken
his glasses and was almost feeling his
way along when he became conscious OF
somebody walking directly in front Of
him. 1t seemed to be short woman in
a bright gown, wearing wrap about
her shoulders, one end of which trailed
down behind her. She walked so heavi-
ly that my friend began to think that,
though short, she must be exceedingly
stout. A few steps more and the wrap
touched the ground and dragged in the
mud. This was more than his gallantry
could stand, so, STOPPING forward, he
said, Allow me, madam, to replace
your mantle, at the same time gently
raising red cows tail and placing il
across her back.

heard a rather interesting though
somewhat apocryphal anecdote the other
day in connection with Senator Black
burns first canvass for Congress. Black
burn, so the story goes, happened to be
passing through 0wenton, the county
seat Of Owen county, on the occasion of
the hanging of q noted criminal As a
hanging is a rather exceptional episode
in the State of Kentucky, the candidate
for Congressional honors concluded he
would remain in the place a few hours
and witness the event. The gallows was
ereCeed in the public square, so that no
citizen, however humble, should lose the
opportunity of seeing the unusual spec
tacle. 1t was, in fact, a gala day, such
as the history of Owenton had seldom
recorded The sheriff, in a spirit of true
Kentucky hospitality, invited Blackburn,
as one of the distinguished guests pres
ent, to occupy seat on the gallowG
Blackburn did so. After the prelimi-
naries had been arranged the sheriff con-
suited his watch AMI discovered that it
was not quite 12 o'clock, the hour fixed
for the execution. Turning to the
prisoner he said:
"You have ten minutes yet to live. Is
there anything you desire to say in the
meantime?"
The prisoner sullenly replied there was
not
AT this instant Blackburn sprang from
his seat, and advancing to the edge of
the scaffold said:
@If the gentleman will allow me his
remaining ten minules, will be glad to
announce myself candidate for your
suffrages. If elected to Congress -"
Here the prisoner very .impatiently ex-
claimed:
"Say, you'll Is your name Joe Black
burn 4"
Yes. sir, replied Blackburn politely.
With an expression of intense disgust
on his face the prisoner turned to the
sheriff.
"We won't stand on a few minutes
more or less, said he, "when the alter
native is presented of death on one hand,
or listening to one of Joe Blackburn's
long -winded speeches on the other Flip
the trap and let me go.
The good-natured sheriff obligingly
~fiipped the trap, and the next instant
the desperate SWING into eternity, while
Blackburn clambered down the gallows,
exclaiming as he went that he had lost
the greatest opportunity of his life.

a Nau Marina si.rnal shalI.

A new shell, to take the place of all
distress signals now used in marine sig
mailing, such as rockets and firing of
minute guns, which involve the loss Of
much valuable time, has lately appeared.
1t is intended that the shells shall be dis
tributed about ship, but particularly
kept on the bridge within easy reach Of
the captain. When he desires to give a
signal of distress, instead of losing time
in loading and firing cannon or touching
off rocket, he seixes shell, pulls the
cap off the detonator, scratches the
illuminate with the rough edge of the
cap, and throws the shell overheard. In
twenty five seconds there is an explosion,
and loud booming report is heard,
while column of water, flame and
smoke shoots up for at least one hundred
feet in the air. An extra appliance of a
rocket is attached to the shell used at
night, and this is thrown to q great
height by the explosion, and itself ex-
plodes in the air. The tin cylinders of
the shell then float about the water, and
as they have the name of the ship
stamped on them, they serve in time OF
disaster to tell of the ship they came from.

PRICE ONE CENT
Queer An,mals.

II is strange fact in regard to New
Zealand that the country is almost en-
tirely lacking in indigenous animals. The
only mammals it possessed. before the
arrival of Captain Cook. in 1869, says the
author of New Zealand after Fifty
Years, We're the kiore,-a little, dark
brown rat.-and two verv small bats.
The kiore is now rare and very shy
animal, but there are times when i makes
its appearance in vast numbers, coming
nobody knows whence, and going nobody
knows whittier.
Three or four years ago such a vista
ton of rats occurred ON the west coast
of one of the Islands countless swarm
of these little creatures travelled along
the shore, for a distance Of one hundred
and fifty miles. all going one way, and
all moving as fast as they could. Many
of them died Of hunger by the way, and
they were all exposed to terrible attacks
from a rat larger and stronger than them
selves.
Another New Zealand animal which is
somewhat peculiar in its habits is the
tuatara, lizard which grows from six
inches TO foot in length.
This creature is the very embodiment
of a negative existence. 1t is usually
found clinging motionless to a rock, per-
fectly regardless of driving spray or
binding sun. 1t wants neither food nor
drink, but is perfectly content to be kept
in glass case for months or even years,
and is very slightly affected by the want
of air.
Itmakes no noise, and moves so seldom
and so slowly that many persons have
watched those confined in glass case for
a long period, and then left them. under
the impression that the creatures were
only stuffed specimens after all. Yet the
solemn blinking Of the golden eyes, and
the slow palpitation of their leathAry
sides, bear slight witness to their sluggish
vitality.

Do Not Rub the Eve.

When you get a cinder or speck OF
dust or other offensive particle in your
eye. don't rub it Don't touch it Don't
pull down the lid Don't put your hand
near it. Let it alone This Is very hard
advice to follow, aud in nine cases out
of ten you win find yourself rubbing
your eye before you know it.
But if you can refrain from touching
your eye at all, the action Of that organ
will itself cast out the offending mote in
much quicker time, and with far less ir-
ritation, while your efforts would only
hinder it and perhaps fasten the intruder
so that it will stay long time.s
OF course if it is a particle of metal
you will consult a surgeon or occulist at
once; but ordinary substances are best
treated as above indicated. Some peo-
pie say, rub the other eye. but this is Of
no use.
