They Arc Exalted Among Men In Their
Own Country.
A Mussulman having served his term
in prison Is regarded almost as saint,
no matter as to the crime for which he
has been condemned. For a Moslem to
say that he has been confined in prison
is to make claim upon the respect and
admiration of his fellow believers. A
certain Mohammedan was released re-
Gently from prison after a term Of three
years for forgery. On his way to his
house he was met by a crowd Of his fel-
low believers, who cheered him loudly
and slaughtered he goats before him,
over the carcasses Of which he had to
step. For three days afterward his
house was crowded with visitors COM
ing to congratulate him and to express
their respect and admiration for him.
Among them were the most prominent
men of the Mohammedan community
Of the city. Nor were these ovations
expressions Of disapproval Of the pun
ishment he had suffered. for his guilt
had been proven to the satisfaction OF
his most ardent friends and defenders

PHoMpr JUSTICE.
A Specimen OF OldJTime Massachusetts
Law and Order.

A Specimen Of Old-Time Massachusetts
Law and Order.
In the "History Of Beverly" Mass,
the following anecdote is related Of q
good Justice Of the peace In the old
colonial times. On q cold night in win
ter, q traveller called at his house for
lodging. The ready hospitality Of the
Justice was about being displayed,
when the traveller unluckily uttered q
word which his host considered pro-
fane.
Upon this he informed his guest that
he was q magistrate, pointed out the
nature OF the otfense, and explained the
necessity of its being expiated by sitting
an hour In the stocks!
Remonstrnnce was unavailing; for
custom at that time allowed the magis-
trate to convict and punish at once, and
| in this case he acted as accuser. witness,
Jury, judge and sheriff, all in one.
| Cold as it was, our worthy Justice,
aided by his son, conducted the traveller
to the place OF punishment, an open
place near the Westinghouse where
the stocks were placed. Here the trav-
eler was confined In the usual manner,
the benevolent executor Of the law re-
naming with him to beguile the time
of It's tedium by edifying conversation.
At the expiration of the hour, he was
reconducted to the house, and hospit-
ably entertained till the next morning,
when the traveller departed with, let us
hope, determination to consider his
words more carefully before giving
them utterance in the hearing Of Q
| conscientious maoistrate.

BAssANo WAS oFF,CIous.

Napoleon Ill Made an Insolent Duke
Apologize to q Yankee Student.
"His years of study In Paris and Ber-
lin form one OF the most enjoyable
periods In the career OF an American
professional man." said one Of our most
famous surgeons to New York World
reporter. ''They did at least in my
case. When was in Paris the Ameri-
can minister presented lot of us at the
T,uileries- We got to the audience
chamber little late, and the young
duke Of Bassano, tremendously hand
some young fellow in splendid court
uniform, with gold spoon fastened on
the lapel OF his coat, came up to us with
a naughty air and demanded what we
meant by being so late for his majesty's 8
audience His manner was so insolent
that several Of us came pretty near
drawing the swords which we wore
with our presentation costume and
pinking him In the RIBS. Afterward we
saw Louis and he gave US special audi
ence. We demanded through the minis
ter an APOLOGY from the du ke de Bassann
and got II, the emperor accompanying
II with letter OF regret that the Incl.

Of Bassano, by the way, was no fair

THE FIRE DOGS OF NEW YORK.
Bluh, Ono Of the Principal Members OF

Blufk, Ono Of the Principal Members OF
the Fire Department.
The fire dogs Of New York deserve
mention, says the Illustrated American.
Bravery is a very common quality
among these active, bright-eyed dogs.
Bluff Is q typical fire dog. He belongs
TO Capt Peaslie, who Is justly fond OF,
his big Newfoundland. Bluff has not
overcome his bad habit Of jumping up
and barking at the horses, and looking
back at them while running to fire.
This habit causes much anxiety to his
master, who has lost two dogs that were
run over while indulging In this trick.
He evinces the greatest disgust when
his boon companions, the fire laddies,
clean the engine house, and when the
place Is inundated with water and soap
suds he abandons his friends and site on
the opposite side Of the street, growl-
ing, showing his teeth and manifesting
his displeasure in q hundred and one
disagreeable ways He goes regularly
TO one of the large hospitals, which is
quite near his engine house, and carries
home a small basket Of bones for his
breakfast. One day, just after the
kitchen door had been shut behind him,
he heard the alarm sound in the engine
house. Dropping his basket, he barked
furiously, and jumped up at the door.
The frightened cook, thinking that the
dog had gone mad, hastened to open the
door just as the engine dashed out of
the engine house. OF ran the break

clothes. He was hailed with cheers o1

LOVES QUEER FRANKS.

A Young FPonchman Plays Spy Upon His
.N Sweetheart.
For some time the course Of true love
had run very smoothly between young
Paris shopman and an apprenticed mil
liner, says the London Telegraph, and
marriage was arranged between the
tained on both sides; banns were pub
ished duly at the mayors Office and
everything was being made ready for
the eventful day, when the lover took it
into his head to make private inquiry
on his own account. He resolved. in
fact, to find out some of the past history
Of his betrothed, and for this purpose
he disguised himself by means Of false
whiskers and mustache and decided
to appeal to the concierge or porter of
the dwelling wherein the young lady
resided. He set to work badly, how
ever, and his first step as an amateur
detective betrayed him. He went to
the wrong house and as he was talking
to the porter and that functionary's
wife they noticed the false hair and be-
came suspicious. Having told him that
the lady whom he mentioned did not
live In the place they asked him who he
was. He replied, hesitatingly: ''An Of
fetal from the prefecture ofpolice, and
then left hastily. The porter stepped
out of his lodge, lodged the sham de-
tective down the street and had him az
rested by o constable. AT the police
station the amateur was obliged to tell
everything and was discharged with an
| admonition from the commissary.

Women in Street Cars.

A Washington street car conductor
said recently: "Women behave like
idiots on street cars. If woman wants
to get of from a crowded car she lifts
one hand slightly from her lap and
holds It in a limp attitude, which she
imagines is gesture. Finding that the
conductor can't see this from the back
platform through number of people
standing she gives the paw O sort of
waggle. This usually excites the atten-
ton Of some man by her, who asks her
If she wants the car to stop and pulls
the strap. 1t is the same way when a
woman desires to get aboard. Usually
she stands stock still at the side of the
road and doesn't make q motion, though
possibly she may turn up one hand
slightly from the wrist as a signal, or
even waggle 1t In q feeble way, until
the driver asks her II she wants to ride
OF course, this notion. Is that it is the
ladylike thing. -Four women out of
FIVE have an inclination to jump off be-
fore the car stops, which the conductor
has to restrain by placing his arm fn
the way"

American Lace Curtains.

A reporter Of one of the oldest saH

Goods Chronicle for information reias-
ing to certain customs matters, and III

Orchids In India.

Hunting the orchid was q lucrative
