Esoneratod After Forty Years.

There lately arrived at Meme, seaport
town of Prussia, bent. white-hared and
careworn man whose coming produced a
sensation such as could not have been made
by the appearance # any other living per-
son. He was Gustav Gebhardt. who forty
years ago was butcher in Memel, and was
accused Of having committed a double muir
der and was condemned to death. On the
morning set for his execution his cell was
found empty, and he could never be tracked.
After some years respectable citizen, when
on the point of death. confessed TO his pastor
that he was the murderer, and that, there
fore, Gebhardt was innocent. Advertise
ments of the news were inserted in all the
native and foreign papers, summoning Geb-
bardt to return TO Memel, but nothing was
heard of him. At last, however, the facts
reached his ear anu lie went back to his
home FIX

Fair. Fat and Fifty.

There was very funny incident con-
nected with a fire in miliner's shop in
Brooklyn recently which somehow or other
did not get into print. The proprietress is
fair. fat and fifty and highly excitable. On
the discovery Of the fire she made rush to
the showcase to save some b0nuets. She
got inside and before she Was aware of it
the door had swung to and had locked her
securely in. And then the fun began. The
case was in full view of the crowd, who be-
gan to guy and chaff her. No key could be
found to fit the snap lock- so the fremen
carried the case and its contents across the
street, where the crowd began waT-dance
around the unfortunate lady. Finally, in
sheer desperation, the old lady broke the
glass and made good her escape amid the
cheers of the assembled crowd.-N. Y. Tele-

One as Pernicious as the Other.

A gTain-dealer explains how much money
the farmers can make by going through
their wheat fields and plucking out the rye
stems, claiming that when the wheat is mar
keted 1t will grade from 10 cents higher
wit bout the rye. The rule might be applied
further. Any man can make money by
keeping rye out of his stomach, and among
men will be graded much higher than if he
took his rye regularly every day. RE in the

The Pretty Conceit of British Maidens.

Inc fretty Concert OF British Maidens.
One of London society's men, clever
artist, has set OF cups for afternoon tea,
which a lot of his girl friends recently gave
him. Each one placed photograph Of her
self upon the inside OF the cup, which,
when full of tea, cannot he seen. His studio
is so pretty, his .4-o'clock so delightful, that
his guests more frequently want to prolong
tea-sipping indefinitely. In despair he com
planned to these girls, whose active hands
soon solved the problem by giving him the
cups referred to. Each guest was told his

whose face, and slowly slipping would only
reveal it by degrees. That day ive'minutas
only was spent in tea-drinking, and as the
clever young artist knew each man we'll,
and was the "confidant" of every girl, he
was voted to be the best fOruue-teller in all
London, for every man declared he was well
satisfied with the emphasizing and the for

Meteoric Iron Stones.

A very magnetic sample of meteoric iron was recently found at Pipe creek, near San Antonio, Tex. It has been examined by A. R. Ledoux, says the Chicago Globe, who finds that it con- sists of magnetic portion, G9.11 per cent. The magnetic portion consisted of iron, sO.94 per cent; nickel, per cent; and the non-magnetic portion contained silica, sulphur, lime, magnesia. phos- phorus and ferric oxide. O. W. Hunt ington has been examining specimen from North Dakota, which fell in 1885. It consists of 90.24 per cent. of iron, to- gether with nickel and traces of phos- phorus and copper. The iron is so mal- leable that it can be rolled out into thin ribbon in the cold, and it breaks like soft, semi-solld material. The meteor ite weighed 4,015 grammes, and from its peculiar shape and appearance ap- pears to be thick scale blown of from the spherical surface of 8 large body.

4 FOOLISH RESTRICTION.
1t Is Not "Good Form" to Carry Parcel.

It Is Not "Good Form" to Carry Parcel
 Tn England.
 h London it is not considered ''goot form" for gentleman to carry through : the streets a parcel, however small CT elegantly wrapped. He may carry q book, if it is not too large ard is not i wrapped up, for book is a book; but q parcel may be pound of cheese or Q dozen rcd herring. The restriction is a foolish one; a form of class distinction that is inconsistent with the highest civilization, in which every man will be 6 gentleman if he is thoughtfully con- siderate of others, whether he is a laborer CT rides in carriage. The au- thor of England, Without and Within, !" gives an anecdote Of an easy-going English gentleman, who was not bound by the absurd law against parcel-carry- ing.
 A shoemaker had missent to him a pair of shoes intended for a neighbor, and had probably sent to the reighbor the shoes that should have been sent to him. As he had no prejudice against carrying bundles he went with the shoes 10 IIlS trlonQ house.
 On arriving at his friends door he asked to see MT. Dash, but was under stood by the servant to ask for Mrs. Dash, and was ushered into her pres ence. The lady, who had never seen him before, looked up and curtly asked:
 ''What have you there?"
 'Mr. Dash's shoes," replied the gen. tleman.
 ''Oh. yes: it's all right Mir. Dash is out, but he'll be in soon, and if you want to sec him you'd better take seat ln the hall and wait till he comes"
 But, madam" began the gentle man, who wH.5 baronet's sen.
 Never mind, never mind: it's all right. Step out in the hall, please, ard wait fer Mir. Dash"
 The gentleman. of course, appreciated the situation at once. But he was too we'll bred, and had too keen a sense of humor to explain, which would have both mortified the lady and prevented him from enjoying her mistake. He stepped into the hall, intending to give the shoes to servant and leave the house.
 But meeting his friend coming in, he gave him the shoes and, after few words, badc him good morning. Though pressed to remain, he refused, knowing that his return to the wifc's presence would cause her embarrassment.
 His consideration for the feelings of another person would have made him gentleman if he had been hod-carrier.

I was holding down the Summit office in the Sierra Nevada mountains, and mcssage came to me: Have one hundred gallons of coffee ready for us." Good heavens! we were in quandary. How were we to get one hundred gallons of coffee in few hours? We'll, all set to work. Every grain of coffee that was procurable was obtained and ground up. Every utensil that could hold coffee was pressed into service. Pots, pans, teacups, basins, jugs, were in requisition. The train came along, and l, proud of my prompt ness and ability to execute so large an order, rushed up to the commanding officer and said, cheerily: 'I have got your one hundred gallons of coffee all right, colonel" "Who ordered one hundred gallons?" replied the colonel, haughtily. "You did" "To the deuce! I only ordered ten gallons. What in thunder shall I do with one hundred gallons?" 'I don't care what you do with it. You have got to pay for it" The colonel swore, and so did I. Do you suppose that we have ground up every bean there is iu the neighbor- hood just for the fun of the thing? There is your dispatch-one hundred gallons" He paid for one hundred gal Ions, and presented us with it; but it was hot discussion while it lasted, but it was nothing to my chagrin. was expecting unlimited praise; instead of that was called blockhead.

HIS OBITUARY.

4 Soldier Who Had Twice Been Num-
 bered with the Dead.
 It has often happened to public indi- viduals to see, through some error. their own obituaries in print. An en- barrassing consequence of this blunder is that one feels obliged ever after to live up to the good things said of him when he was supposd to be no more. Mir Frederic Villars, the artist, says in the Cosmopolitan:
 Twice during my career have been given up as 'gone over to the ma jority" first. when I was reported to have been killed in the advance of Hicks Pasha's army against El-Obeid, in the Eastern Soudan, at the time when that force met disaster at the hands of the Mahdi and his followers.
 I was walking in London with 2 cousin. when we were greatly aston ished by noticing several posters of the evening papers, mentioning my name in the Soudan. Presently friend of my cousin came up and said to him:
 My dear fcllw, this is sad news about your cousin"
 What's that?" said he.
 "Why his death in the Scudan."
 That's all nonsense" was the reply. "This is Frederic Villars by my side. Allow me to introduce you"
 His friend stared at him with disgust and dastonishmcnt.
 Its all very we'll" said he. "I know you can't resist joke, but this sort of thing is really too bad. Your poor cousin is lying in tho desert, dead, and you are joking"
 Have no fear" said I. "I am the man, and am every moment more and more satisfied at the fact"
 Then" said he, believing at last. 'I must hurry back to the Savage club. There's colleague of yours, with his back to the fire, holding forth to the members about the campaigns he has seen with you"
 "Hcld hard" said I. 'Is he saying nice things about me?"
 "Ycs, of course"
 "Thcn," continued. "by all means leave my colleague to his pleasant thoughts"
 This colleague at the Savage has never forgiven me for knocking all the sentiment out of his funeral oration by Dersistinr in being alive When he and meet now, we only lift hats.
