stole Busts from a Cemetery.

That too ingenious person who stole
bronze and marble busts from the ceme-
terry Of Montparnasse, touched them up
and sold them as effigies of famous he
roes, statesmen or orators, has at last
met with the punishment which his
lugubrious labors deserved. Moreau,
for SO the new kind of resurrection
man, to adopt the phrase of Dickens, is
called, came up before the eighth tri-
bunal of police, and was soon sentenced
to three years Imprisonment.
The singular thefts perpetrated by
Moreau in the cemetery long passed I'M
perceived. He was accordingly able to
make some money by his dismal and de-
plorable transactions, and it is consid-
cred probable that many of his trans
formed busts now adorn not only the
humble homesteads Of artisans in Paris,
but also the libraries and museums of
some provincial towns On one occa-
sion he is said to have sold the effigy of
a worthy professor of the Sorbonne as
that of a famous general of the revolu-
ton, whileo on another he passed off the
bronze presentment of a departed grocer
as that of a Demosthenes.- Paris Cor.

fine pointer dog of Mr.. J. A, Brown, of

hunter and retriever, with almost hui

was crushed off, leaving a piece of the

Mr.. Brown hated to kill his valuable

have become the wife OF T. w. Bing-

four years ago, after having spent
years in travelling in foreign countries,
he possessed style of conversational

The game of cards was first played in
the east, and seems to have had mill
tary origin. Cards were introduced
from Asia into Europe at the time of the
Crusades, and were first used by NEGRO
mancers to foretell fortunes. They soon
became popular amusement in the
south Of Europe, where the Saracens
and Moors taught the people how to use
them, and card playing spread to all
parts of the continent. The state records
Of Germany mention the fact that Ru-
dolph l, in 1875, was fond of the game
and played with his courtiers.
After the invention of paper the manu-
facture of cards became extensive, but
declined somewhat when card playing
was forbidden by several Of the German
states and by the English government
on account of the supposed immoral
tendency. Before the era of paper, cards
in the Orient were made of ivory, papy-
rus and canvas, less frequently of the
precious metals, and quite commonly of
wood.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

Sir Nicholas Kemeys, Bart, of Cefn
Mably, was accounted one of the
strongest men of his day, and ira
dition of him, corroborative of his
great strength, still exists in Glamor-
ganshire The story runs that one
summer evening, as Sir Nicholas was
walking in the Deer park at Cefn
Mably with some guests, an athletic
man leading an ass, upon which was
his wallet approached, and, respect
fully saluting the company, said he
humbly supposed that the huge gen
tleman he had the honor of addressing
was the strong Sir Nicholas Kemeys
The stranger being answered in the
affirmative, declared himself a noted
Cornish wrestler who had never been
thrown, and that having heard from a
Welchman, whom he had met at
Bristol, of the great bodily strength of
Sir Nicholas had made this journey
TO see his honor, adding that, if it
were not asking too great favor, he
trusted Sir Nicholas would condescend
to try fall with him. The baronet,
smiling, assented, but advised the
Cornishman first to go TO the buttery
and get refreshment
The Cornishman declined with
many thanks, saying he was quite
fresh; so they fell TO wrestling, and in
a moment the Cornishman was thrown
upon his back. The baronet, assisting
him to arise, asked him if he was not
satisfied of his strength. The reply
was, mot unless you throw me over
the park wall i The tale continues
to say that this was readily complied
with, when the unsatisfied wrestler
entreated that Sir Nicholas would
throw his ass after him over the wall,
which was accordingly done
A place is still shown in the ancient
park wall as the scene of the exploit.
A fine picture now at Cefn Mably, in
the possession of Col. Kemeys Tynte,
represents Sir Nicholas as of great
stature and apparent gigantic strength.
He was subsequently killed at Chep-
stow castle, in defending it against the
troops of Cromwell, having slain
many of the enemy with his own hand
in the sortie in which he fell. st.

How few people realize the results of
extensive drainage, such as a highly civ
ilized country presents. No inconsider-
able changes are wrought by artificial
drainage. Much Of surface water, in
stead Of being left to form marshes, sat
urate the soil or be taken up by evapora-
ton, is carried away underground
through drain pipes. Consequently the
air is not so moist as formerly, and the
soil, instead of being constantly chilled
by evaporation, is rendered warm and
genial. This result has been particu-
larly noticed in England and Scotland,
where very extensive areas have been
artificially drained.
Holland has been, one might say, re-
claimed from the sea. The water has
been dyked out, and many parts of the
country that were the bottom of the sea
are now dry land, and though below sea
level form the homes Of happy and in
dustrious communities. Years ago there
were along the lower banks of the Mis-
sissippi drowned lads" subject to over
/ flow and uninhabitable, covering an area
larger than the state of New York.
Many Of these lands have been reclaimed
! by means Of levees. Thus, by mans in
genuity, are the surface, climate and
general physical condition of the earth
being changed. New York Ledger.

A PRETTY ROMANCE.
Gifted San Francisco Young Woman
Artist Had Interesting Start

Gifted San Francisco Young woman
Artist Had Interesting Start
People who noticed in The Examiner
window splendid cast of the head OF
Sitting Bull will be interested to hear
the pretty romance of the young artist
whose work it was.
1t was modelled by Miss Alice Ride
out, young lady of less than IS years
Of age. who has already shown such tai
emit that she bids fair to take front rank
smong the host of artists that the Pacific
slope can claim as its own.
Her first start in her chosen profession
ran be directly traced to a large English
mastiff owned by her family, although
her artistic aspirations date back to her
early childhood. One day, while accom-
panied by The mastiff, she passed the
open door of a sculptor's studio. The
animal rushed in and, with apparent de-
liberation, knocked over the pedestal
upon which was placed for exhibition
the artists latest work An arm and
leg were shattered, and the piece lay
seeming wreck on the floor. The at
tendant was wild.
The girl endeavored to make excuses
for the dog, but nothing would answer.
Offers were made to pay for the damage,
but to no avail. The man, dreading that
upon the artists return he would lose
his position, was inconsolable. The girl
begged to be allowed to repair the piece,
and after repeated entreaties the man
consented, with the remark that while
he did not believe it could be fixed, he
was very certain she could not injure it.
He mixed the clay for her, and watched
with interest the Impractical fingers
doing the work that the accomplished
artist had so lately finished and taken SO
much pride in An hour passed with
most gratifying results; the arm was re-
stored and was perfect; the attendant
was happy.
Another hour the leg approached com
pletion, when 10, the artist appeared on
the scene. He took in the situation at a
glance, and unnoticed by the occupants
of the room watched the work Fin
ished explanations are in order and
given The artist is charmed, declares
the work of restoration has added new
charms to the piece, and having heard
from the girl the great ambition of her
life, went with her to her home and in
sisted that her parents should allow her
an opportunity to learn the art for which
she evidently had SO much inherent tai

4 DOG STORY.
A "Reminiscences of Old Days whs= Crino-
line Ruled.

line Ruled.
II happened in the old crinoline
days. Ny aunt. who was then living
in country town. had gone out shop
ping one morning and was standing
IN High street, talking TO a lady
friend. a Mrs. Gumwortiy, the doc
tors wife. She any aunt had on a
new crinoline that morning, in which.
to use her own expression, she rather
fancied herself Ii was tremendous
~ big one, as stiff as wire fence 1t
set beautifully. They were standing
in front of Jenkins, the Diapers, and
my aunt thinks that it (the crinoline)
must have got caught up in some
thing, and an opening thus left be
tween it and the ground.
However this may be- certain it is
that an absurdly large and powerful
bulldog, who was fooling round about
there at the time, managed, somehow
or other to squirm in under my aunt's
crinoline and etfectually imprison
himself beneath it, Finding himself
suddenly in a dark and gloomy cham
Der the dog, naturally enough, got
frightened and made frantic rushes TO
get out But whichever way he
charged there was the crinoline in
front of him. AS he flew, he of course,
carried it with him, and with the
crinoline, of course, went my aunt.
But nobody knew the explanation. My
aunt herself did not know what had
happened. Nobody had seen the dog
creep inside the crinoline.
All the people did see was staid
and eminently respectable middle
aged lady, suddenly, and without any
apparent reason, throw her umbrella
down ia the road, fly up High street
at the rate Of ten miles an hour, rush
across at the imminent risk of her life,
dart down it again on the other side,
rush sideways, like an excited crab.
into a grocer's shop, rush three times
round the shop, upsetting the whole
stock in trade, come out of the shop
backward and knock down postman,
dash into the roadway and spin round
twice, hover for a moment, undecided,
on the curb, and then away up the hill
again, as if she had only Just started,
all the while screaming out at the top
of her voice for somebody TO stop her.
OF course everybody thought that she
was mad. The people flew before her
like chaH before the wind. In less
than ten seconds High street was a
desert. The townsfolk scampered into
their shops and houses and barricaded
the doors. Brave men dashed out and
caught up little children and bore
them to places Of safety amid cheers
Carts and carriages were abandoned
while the drivers climbed up lamp
posts. What would have happened
had the show gone on much longer
whether myaunt would have been shot
or the fire engine brought into requi
sition against her, it is impossible
having regard TO the terrified state o.
the crowd, to say Fortunately fol
her she became exhausted With one
despairing shrek she gave way, anC
satdown on the dog, and peace reigneC
once more in the sweet rural town. ~
