Stranger than Fiction.

The daughter of Jewish merchant
at Hamburg resided in Berlin with a
brother and made the acquaintance
OF an orthodox Christian solicitor.
They fell in love with each other, burt
the solicitors father made his consent
dependent on the. young lady's con.
version to Christianity. But the fa-
ther of the latter expressed a wish
that his daughter should remain q
Jewess, at any rate until his death.
In spite of this she was baptized on
a certain day i'll December, last year,
at 2 O'Clock, Immediately after which
she became engaged to the solicitor.
About an hour afterward q Telegram,
from Hamburg announcing that the
death OF her father from an apoplep-
tic stroke had taken place on the same
day at 2:3O o'clock.
When the fathers testament was
opened it was found that, besides the
share of his property legally belonging
to his daughter, he had also bcqueath-
ed to her q legacy of 20, 900 marks,
under the condition that she remained
q Jewess till his death. Her CONVEX
sion, however, having taken place hall
an hour before she lost the legacy.
Legal proceedings were instituted by
her to dispute the validity of the
clause, but they have been unsuccess-
ful.-Galignani's Messenger.

"A fact but little known is that be.

ter, there is another individual who
has the curious prerogative of remain
ing covered in the presence OF the Brit.
ish sovereign-namely, the Master of
Trinity College, Cambridge. Anent
this curious anecdote has been mar
rated: A superstition prevails con-
cerning the necessity for exercising the
right or losing it altogether, so when
on a certain occasion the Queen visit
ed Cambridge University, the then
well-known and highly popular Mas
ter Of Trinity kept his hat on during
the proceedings. The Queen appar-
emily did not notice the circumstance,
and the Master began to feel uncom-
Portable. At length just as her Majes-
ty was about to depart, he deferen-
TALLY approached and said: "Your
Majesty has perhaps wondered that
should appear SO far wanting in re-
spect as to keep my hat on lll day,

Rails That Travel,

A St. Louis civil engineer, says the
Globe-Democrat, says the rails OF the
St, Louis bridge were never station
ary, but constantly crept to the east
that is, in the direction of the heaviest
travel. The rate of progress, he said
was about $50 feet in the year, or
would be if the rails were permitted to
creep as they pleased, which, OF course,
they are not permitted to do.
It reminded him of hill in south
west Missouri, over which a turnpike
road was constructed, and, do what
they would, the people could not keep
the road up and down the sides OF
that hill in good condition. The
stones would creep to the bottom,
and in six months the road would be
as bad as ever. They finally had to
take up the gravel and macada,n and
replace them with gooa-sized blocks

How to Kill Your Town.

Buy of peddlers as often and as
much as possible.
Denounce your merchants because
they make a profit on their goods.
Make your town out a very bad
place and stab it every chance you
get.
Refuse to unite in any scheme for
the betterment Of the material interest
of the people.
Keep every cent you get and don't
do anything of Il public nature unless
directly.
Tell your merchants that you can
buy goods good deal cheaperinsome
other town and charge them with en-
tortion.
Ii a stranger comes to your town
tell him everything is overdone and
predict q general crash in the town in
the near future.
Knife every man that disagrees
with you on the best methods OF in
creasing business.
When you have anything to say of
your town, say it in such way that
will leave the impression that you have
no faith in it.
Patronize outside newspapers to the
exclusion of your own, and then de-
nounce them for not being as large as
the city papers.
Ifyou are a merchant, don't advertise
i'll the homepapers; buy a rubber stamp
and use it.. It may save you a few
dimes and make the paper look like it
was printed in q one-horse town.
II you are farmer, curse the town
where you trade as the meanest place
on earth. Talk this to your neighbors,
make them think the business men
are robbers and thieves. twill make
your property much less valuable, but
then you don't care.-Exchange.

A Fakir's Neat Trick.

A wandering sleight-of-hand man
was entertaining the loungers at the
Gibson one afternoon with an
exhibition of his tricks. After showing
them good number of them, he said:
"But I have one good thing that l
call the dime trick"
OF course they all wanted to see that,
so heinstructed a good number of them
to give him dime after having mark
ed it and carefully noted the date.
About dozen OF the bystanders did
so, land he took them all, shook them
up and then showed each man a mother
dime than the one he had marked, ac-
companying each dime with the ques-
ton:
"Is that yours?"
Each man OF course said "No," and
he turned away. saying; ''Then they
must all be mine."
The crowd was too much sold to
kick-except themselves, for having
bitten so.-Fromt the Cincinnati Times.
