Might Have Been Worse,

The Princess Charlotte, daughter OF
George w., was a young woman OF
great spirit and originality. One day
she took a fancy to make her will, and
in it bequeathed all her property to
one of her teachers. He was impru-
dent enough to keep the document,
and was in consequence, dismissed as
soon as it was discovered.
The gentleman who then undertook
his duties did so with great zeal, and
had reason to find one, at least, OF
his corrections productive OF good.
He CHANGED to enter the room when
the princess was reviling one of her
attendant ladies, in great wrath, and
after giving her a lecture on hasty
speech, he presented her with a book
on the subject.
A few days later he found her still
more furious, and using language even
more violent.
Il am sorry to find your Royal
Highness in such a passion" said he.
'Your Royal Highess has not read the
book l gave you"
"I did, my lord!" cried she, tempest
uously. II both read it and profted
by it. Otherwise I should have
scratched her eyes out!"

An Enthusiastic Muscovite,

The first Russian visitor on board
the French men of-war at Cronstadt
effected his appearance among them
in a somewhat peculiar manner. He
was a Russian soldier, who had an ex-
tended swim in the Baltic off Cronstadt
to where the French squadron was
approaching. When he reached the
first vessel, which was just about to
anchor, he chung to the side, shouting
with all his might the only French
word he knew, ''Vive la France!" Great
were the rejoicings when, the unclad
enthusiast was hauled on board. He
was treated to any number ofcognacs,
wrapped in French naval cloak, and
preparations were made to convey
him back to quarters in the ship, when
suddenly ethrewof his cloak, plunged
into the sea, and still shouting, give

come. st. Louis Republic.

MISPLACED TAKES"
The Terrible Misfortune That Befell

The Terrible Misfortune That Befell
Colonel Ochiltree. According to
the Types.
One of the best stories about typo
graphical errors is told by a New York
newspaper man, who was at the time
a proof-reader on the Dallas CONNER
cial. He lost his job through the care
lessness Of the foreman in marking
two sets OF TX" copy and hanging it
on the hook at the same time. The
mistake resulted in about the funniest
newspaper "bull" ever heard of. by
reason OF the fact that the separate
takes OF the different copy fitted to-
gether without q break. Tom Ochil-
tree, the red-haired ex-Congressman
and famous disciple Of the science OF
hyperbole, made a speech at the Opera
House on the evening in question, and
on the afternoon of the same day a
mad dog had been killed in the streets.
Perhaps fate recognized an affinity
between Ochiltree and a mad dog. At
any rate, the first stake" of the mad
dog item got mixed, and this is the
way two paragraphs p appeared in the
paperthe next morning.
"Hon. Thomas P. Ochiltree lectured
at the Opera House last night to an
audience that was inclined to be in
dulgent. Before the hour set for the lee
ture the familiar figure of the eloquent
Texan was prominent on the stage.

Promptly at 6 o'clock the colonel
arose and in a few appropriate remarks

Of the stage. .s."
With his tail tucked between his legs
he began to howl, to snarl, and to
snap at everything in sight. He froth-
ed at the mouth; he slobbered and he
pouted. His long and ugly tongue
hung out nearly a foot over his left
jawbone. It was black and heavy.
A citizen recognized that in such a
condition he was a menace to life,
fshed out a Colts revolver from his
hip pocket, and drew a bead on him.
Asharp whiplike report rang out and
a, pistol ball penetrated the brute's
left eye. He gave an agonizing yelp,

The Man-Faced Crab.

One Of the most singular-looking
creatures that ever walked the earth
or .swam the waters under the earth"
is the world-famous man-faced crab
OF Japan, It's body is hardly an inch
in length, yet the head is fitted with a
face which is the perfect counterpart
OF that of a Chinese coolie: q
veritable missing link, with eyes, nose,
and mouth all clearly defined. This
curious and unc amy creature, besides
the great likenessit bears to human
being in the matter Of facial features,
is provided with two legs, which seem
to grow from the top of its head and
hang down over the sides OF its face.
Besides these legs, two ssfeelers, = each
aninch in length, grow from the sschin''
OF the animal, looking for all the
world like 9 coloneps forked beard.
These man-faced crabs fairly swarm Ii

THREW HIS MONEY AWAY.

Story of a Young Physician Who
Was Victim Of Circumstances.
When the doctors, in jovial mood,
get together they invariably tell stories
if they have any time on their hands.
Half a dozen Rochester physicians
were feeling particularly happy and
exultant a few days ago. They had
passed a delightful hour in making an
examination of the body of a man
killed in an accident. and were we'll
pleased with each other and the gen
tleman who had furnished them with
their scientific amusement. When
they were through their work they adj
journed to the office of one OF their
number and began telling experiences
and "reminiscences. They told of ex-
citing amputations and exhilarat..
operations until it came the turn OF
the Oldest man present to speak.
Then such a tale was unfolded as
brought tears to the eyes OF many
present.

the old physician, II practiced in a

"When came to know the young

that [ wanted his head. You all know
that l have always made brain dis

the mans head, with it's abnormal de-
velopment, would be a splendid SUBJ
ject for study. The chap fell in with
my proposal. Igave him $3OOs and
he made a will in which he mentioned
me as the heir to his head. To be sure
the fellow was young, but so was I,
and Twas willing to wait.
"Well, gentlemen, within less then a.
year after we had completed arrange
ments the young fellow was killed."
E'Lucky man." said one OF the listen
ers, and all the others gave evidence
that they thought the doctor was for
tunate.
"But, gentlemen" continued the old
physician, 1.-THE fellow was struck on

A VILLAGE POO BAH. !.
"a Reporter Seeks Information in a.
Sullivan County Settlement

"A Reporter Seeks Information in a
Sullivan County Settlement.
A reporter for the Sun seeking infor-
nation Of a former resident, visited
Oakland Valley, Sullivan County, the
other day. While awaiting the Month
cello train at Port servis the reporter
inquired OF a group OF loungers where
he would be most likely to obtain the
required information. 4 .,. r.
"When you get off the train," said
one man, "take the main road, and in
the first house to the right lives an old
fellow who can tell you allyou want. "
"Id see the supervisor if were
you,' said another; she has held Of
fee nineteen years and knows every
body" ~-..
cor the postmaster. In those little
villages the postmaster knows every
body's business suggested third.
'tTake the little path down the hill
and you'll come to a sawmill. Ask
the boss" was the next suggestion,
and it was followed by this:
"There's only one storekeeper in the
village; ask him."
The last one was: "Old Ben Case IL
tell you all you want to know"
At the foot of the very steep hill
leading from the railroad station the
reporter met a 6ne-looking, well-set-
up man in top boots, rough trousers,
a wooden undershirt, and a SLOUGH
hat, who in answer to an inquiry,
said he was Ben Case. He knew all
about the man the reporter was seek
ing, and gave the information. freely.
AS there was no way of leaving the
village until the next train, five hours
later, the reporter determined to visit
the other persons to whom he had
been directed. He thanked Mr.. Case
and walked to the sawmill and asked
to see the boss. The workman direct
ed him to the general store near by.
There he met Mr.. Case again. In an-
swer to an inquiry for the sawmill's
owner, or for the general storekeeper,
Mr.. Case replied: "They're me-"
AS it was unlikely that he could give
more information as general store
keeper and mill owner than he had AL
ready given, the reporter asked to be
directed to the supervisor, and again
the reply, s'That's me-"
"You seem to be nearly everybody
here, Mr.. Case. Where shall find the
postmaster? He may know more
than you've told me'
"Waal, don't think so, but you
ask him if you like. I'm the post
master"
Unwilling to ask any more ques-
lions, the reporter started for the
white house to the right of the road.
There two young women, busily en-
gagged in domestic duties, said their
father had gone to the store, but
would return in a few moments.
Would the visitor wait? The report
er waited and in about an hour the
Ubiquitous Mr.. Case arrived.
Come, girls" he said, "I'm ready
for dinner. Lay plate for the strang-
er. He wants to see me bad"
