footpads who stood up" ID. H. Foley in

Police Court yesterday and held for trial on

them to answer called attention to the NUM-
erous robberies recently committed. and said
that 1t is for the safety of the general public
that when criminals are once captured they
should not be dealt leniently with. 1t was
Tor that reason that he fixed the bond at
such R high figure.

Barnum was bringing lot of Con-
necticut deacons and such like persons
up to New York in his yacht one Sun
day morning. They were all in need
of shaving. 1t was found that the
only man in the party VINO had u razor
was Baruum. He agreed to lend il on
condition that each should shave one
half Of his face first, and then pass the
razor on. The razor was to be passed
around u second time, when they could
all shave themselves completely.
This would insure fairness and an
equal division of the use of the razor.
Barnum began by shaving half his
face. He gave the razor to the Others,
who used it in accordance with the
agreement. When it returned to him
again he shaved himself completely
and threw the razor overheard. The
dcacous and others had to walk up

GOOD GERMAN STORY.
The AcronAutic Feat OF a Fat Landlord
md Itx End.

A balloon ascension without parallel
in German aeronautics took place near
Stoekerau recently. The day before.
Joseph Strohschneider. aeronaut and
rope-walker. had announced that he
and Carl Pramper. the landlord of the
village tavern, ITO the White Rose"
would ascend on the following after
noon.
Now. every one knew Strohschnei-
der rode only on trapeze in his as
cents. and that Pramper was not an ex-
pert on this apparatus. Moreover.
Pramper was thick-set and had
family. The recklessness OF the un-
dertaking was so apparent that the
police We're at once appealed to by
Pramper's wife and friends. and he
was officially forbidden to make the
ascent. The police failed. however
to take measures to enforce this order,
and SO the next day Pramper appeared
with Strohschneider on the platform
before the assembled population of the
district for miles around. who had
heard of the daring feat promised by
the aeronaut and the white Rose"
landlord.
As the balloon was being filed a
great hue and cry was raised against
Pramper's ascent, and the crowd even
tually became so turbulent in its de-
monstrations that Strohschneider had
to make haste to escape being mobbed.
Only Pramper was cool. When tho
balloon was ready he retired TO a little
leanto. reappeared a minute later in
oeronaut's costume, and then with
white face and shaking limbs shot up
on the trapeze with Strohschneider.
There were shouts of execration.
Mrs. Pramper and her two daughters
tainted and every one else watched in
horrificd suspense the soaring balloon.
IL slipped away toward Leitzersdorf.
The crowd pushed madly along under
It. running riding, driving and all
shouting vainly for Strohschneider to
descend. for Pramper was seen to be
losing his courage, and his legs and
arms were dangling nervously over tho
ropes OF his perch.
HALF way between Stockerau and
Leitzersdorf the hurrying crowd could
see that Pramper and Strohschneider
were quarreling. The gestures of the
aeronaut became more violent, till he
eventually struck his companion a
blow in the face and toppled him of
from the trapcze. The figure of the
landlord came whiriing down. The
crowd gave one great groan of horror
md then was still. When the body
struck. all except the fainting women
hurried to the spot The rnutilated,
bleeding, and almost unrecognizable
rernuius of Pramper vere not there
only q very cleverly made effigy of him
dressed in his everyday clothes.
Strohschneider had stripped the land
lord to clothe the eftigy in the little
lean-to at Stockreau. and the portly
landlord, instead of having endured all
the horrors OF an aerial life-and-death
fight, was sitting in his underclothes
in Strohschneider's draughty dressing
soom, anxiously awaiting the return OF
his proper garments

Who Should ..E.ow,, rIrs,.

A great deal of nonsense has been
talked about the question of whose
place il is to bow first when lady
and gentleman meet upon the street or
in any public assembly.
1t is very absurd TO say that man
should always wait until a lady has
recognized him. In this, as in most
other matters. common sense and
mutual convenience are the only
guides. Many ladies are near-sighted;
many others find great difficulty in
remembering faces.
The important thing, OF course 3
that q man should not presume.
When two people meet who are
really acquainted it is not the man
who should necessarily bow first OF
the lady-it is which ever of them is
the first to perceive and recognize the
other.

impossible. to save it without slavery?
And so we might go on and wherever

Doc Day. I'm the Year 1a,so1.

As most of the readers of this gen.
GRAFTON well know. dog days include
the period from July 3 to August IL,
and take their name from Sirius,
known as the ''Dog Star" Sirius is
the most brilliant of the fixed stars,
and is at the head of the constellation
CAMS Major, or Great Dog. This star
during the period 3hich we refer to as
dog days. rises with the sun or within
the same hour. Owing to this, the as
tronomers say that the dog star rises
..heliacally'' from July 8 to August IL.
The Egyptians, who worshiped the dog
as sacred beast. as did several others
of the ancients, attributed the extreme
heat of summer to the influence of the
CAMS Major constellation; the present
Egyptians, however. know nothing OF
this myth, with the exception of the
sects known as the Copts. But with
other nations it is different With
many the superstition has been per-
petuated and handed down to gen.
Grafton after generation until the pres
ent time. when the most intelligent
people of the realm speak of dog days
as season OF baleful glares and
breezes. But in the far future this
viii be all changed. By regular shift
ing OF the point where the sun crosses
the equator, which is caused by what
is termed the procession of the equi-
noxes," the time will come, in about
