What Sarah said to Mary.

1t was on a Madison avenue car
at 8 o'clock. Among those who had
seats were eight men. Among those
standing up were two shop girls.
After waiting for a reasonable time
for someone to offer them seats one OF
the girls said:
MARY, it's too bad, isn't it2'
"What, Sarah ?" asked the other.
"That they are all bow-legged."
"Who ?"
"These eight gentlemen. l have
patronized this line for five years and
/ never saw bow-legged man give
himself away by standing up in car.
1t wouldn't be reasonable to expect it."
"Of course not"
In just FIVE seconds eight men were
on their feet, bowling and smiling and
asking Sarah and Mary if they would
not be so everlastingly kind and oblig-
ing as to take seats-take halfthe car,
in fact, and they took it.--Ex.

on the morning of the day of his
decision.
GOOD morning, sir professor.
What is the news?" asked the
king.
Nothing special, sire only the
people of The Hague are talking a
good deal of nonsense" said Thor
becke, with diplomatic deliberate
ness.
"Humph! Concerning my min
isters?"
mo, SIRE" droned on Thorbecke,
concerning you"
concerning me?" shouted the
king, land what, oh, honored prof
essor, concerning me?"
'Sire, | hardly wish to repeat it,
-
Enough. [ wish to hear it,"
"Well, sire, the people of The
Hague say you are as crazy as a
Loom"
Biff! Like shot, the short,
heavy body of the king bounced
from the bed to the floor. Purple
and speechless, he caught up a silver
inkstand to throw at Thorbecke.
His hand became entangled for
moment in the bed curtains. Thor
becke strobe up to him, thrust down
his keen white face to the level of
the kings eyes, and said in tone
of icy indifference
"And if you strike me with the
inkstand the people of The Hague
will be right"
The king dropped the inkstand in
the curtain that had caught it and
glowered at the professor, who hast
ened to pile reasons why the Neither
lands should remain neutral during
the Franco-German war. A few
hours later, in the presence Of all his
ministers, William III. tore into bits
and stamped on the declaration of
war which he had all but forced OIL
his unwilling subjects.-New York

A path with sun and shadow rife;

No pulsing of the heart the breath

And is this all Of death

The revolution of DR.. Pantaloon
Perez in Uruguay was short-lived.

the purpose of revolutionizing the
Government. Expecting to rally the
soldiers to their ranks, they walked
boldly into the barracks OF the ar

His adherents should have known
better than to follow a leader who
called himself by the sartorial name
of Pantaloon. His revolution" was

The British Medical Journal throws
more light on the mysteries of jam
making. An inquiring stranger, it
says. who was being shown over a
British wine mandatory, was struck
by several high mounds of crimson
dust. These he was. told were the
refuse of the wine presses in which
the juice Of raspberries, currants, and
other fruit used in the business was
extracted for making wine. AS it is
seldom that anything is wasted in an
English factory, an inquiry was made
as to the form in which these mounds
of dust would re-enter the market;
the visitor was promptly told that it
was disposed Of to Lawmakers to give
the appearance of fruit to the pulp of
tnrnip, vegetable, apple, or what not,
which forms the basis Of the confec-
tion. 1t would seem that almost
anything will do to make jam of, as
the chemist can produce flavor to
initiate every kind of fruit. 1t is
commonly supposed that orange-peel
is picked up in the streets wherewith
to make marmalade. Probably this
is SANDER on the preserve maker;
but, according to the report of a case
heard this year In metropolitan po-
lice court, rotten oranges in the con-
dition Of "black pulpy substance, {"
and quite unfit to eat" as the in
spector very sapient1y remarked, are
considered by the owners of the fruit
as good enough to be chopped up for
marmalade." Oranges for this "excel-
lent substitute for butter at break
fast" it was shown, cost only one
dollar box, whereas fruit for eating
costs three dollars. A disquieting
fact. indeed.

The Ozark Mountains, in Missouri,
are a sort Of wonderland which need
some Western Washington Irving to
develop. What with wildernesses,
marble caverns, lost silver mines and
outlaws caves, the whole region seems
to belong more to the domain Of
romance than of fact. There also are
the clans that smack of the Scottish
Highlands, and rude system Of ven
delta, which, however, is distinctly
American, and stops at nothing short
of the church door, sometimes not at
that. Miss Murfree has written up
the Tennessee mountains, but the
Ozark hills are at present Illuminated

SYRACUSE, n. ~, Dec 4-Except for the
close Of the argument on the question in
volved in the misdistrsbution Of Republican
lallets IN the towns e Catnillgs, Clay and
Elbridge the election contests are in statu
quo. At the hearing before Justice oBrieu
the main contention for Nichols and Ryan
Democrats contestants respectively fol
senator and member Of assembly, was that
the transposition Of the ballots destroyed al
secrecy. The Republican defense was that
the transposition was mistake, undiscOver-
able until the opening Of the polls; that the
ballots intended for one district were voted
in another, though they were not marked
within the meaning Of the law, and that the
circumstances were such as 10 fully Justify
the casting OF the ballots in question, there
being no possibility Of obtaining any Others
of an official character. Justice O'Blien re-
served his decision
