A story of tho Paris Commune.

The commune was also sublime. A
prisoner, man, had been taken with
ARMS in his hands. imprisoned, and con-
demned to death. His wife made heroic
efforts to save him, and succeeded in
securing the sympathy of a man who
had influence in these times. Her hus-
band was saved from capital punishment
and was condemned to transportation.
Left alone and abandoned, without
resources, she had formed an intimacy
with the man who had saved her hus-
band. After living for years with this
lover, 70 whom she Was deeply attached,
she be8ought him to apply for pardon
for her husband.
Although he felt he was DESTROYING
her happiness and his own, he did 50.
The husband returned full Of love for the
wife who had saved him from execution
and procured his liberation. On the
way home, however. he learned the
truth He changed his name, disap-

years. Then, when divorce became DOS

A Diplomatist Downed by a Kitten.

We remember to have seen distin-
guished diplomatist, trained to hold his
own in the courts of kings, and never at
loss to get out of an embarrassing posi-
ton or to meet an act Of rudeness by a
rapier thrust of wit, utterly put down
by a small black kitten. The diplomatist
had been playing with the kitten. but he
went too far. Instead of making fun for
the kitten he made fun of her, and this
she was quick to see and to resent. De-
termined to mark her sense Of mis- con-
duct, she at once put stop to the game
and calmly but resolutely placed her
small person in front Of the man of cere-
mony, wrapped her tail neatly round
her toes, and gazed at him with an air of
plying contempt.
1t was an electric moment. and the rest
Of the company watched with palpltat-
ing eagerness the struggle for ascend
ency. It proved, however, an unequal
contest. After few moments of regard
which told more of sorrow than of anger,
the kitten deliberately began to wash her
little black face, stopping every now and
then, paw in hair, to give look of faint
surprise, mingled with disgust, at her
antagonist. The situation speedily be-
came ridiculous, but not for the kitten,
and in very short time the diplomatist
had evidently admitted himself beaten.
The kitten then rose walked to the
window and placidly RaEad out at the
landscape, every curve II her back show
ing her sense of the bad taste which had
characterized the incident that had just
terminated.-London Spectator.

An InsoIvent Calf.

An insolvent calf would seem to be a
new thing under the sun, yet that such
a curious anomaly did once actually
exist is seen from an aneedote VI the
late Capt. William Kiborn, Of this
town. The worthy captain-"Capt.
Bill, " as he was Familiarity known, had
a keen sense of the humorous, and
likewise a dry way Of presenting what
ever struck him as lndicrous. Well,
many years ago, in the good old times
when neighbor dickered with neighbor
in almost every variety of deal, and
YOU lend me and III lend you" was
the most popular thing, especially in
sparsely settled districts, it IA the Gus

this way Of one neighbOr and another,
until 10! he had secured five quarters.
BY and by came the day of reckoning,
when this mans calf was sacrificed.
OF course, there were not quarters
enough to go around to pay his loans.
Capt. Bill heard of the slaughter of the
innocent, and assuming that quizzical
expression characteristic Of him when
secretly amused. and giving one of his
peculiar ahems, he raised a shout among
the bystanders by e~xclaiming, Tell ye

Changing Demand. in Restaurant.

A restaurant waiter In this city says
There are some things about peoples
habits of eating that defy explanation.
For instance. Monday is known in the
restaurants as sand wich day. for twice
as many sandwiches are sold then as
on any other day of the week, and,
what is still more curious, more corned
beef il called for on Monday than at
any other time. Saturday is deviled
ham day, for two orders of deviled ham
will be called for on Saturday TO one
on Monday, though why no human be
ing can guess.
Sometimes a most unexpected de
mand will be made for particular kinds
of food. Some days everybody that
comes in will want custard pie, and the
next day we will not need 70 cut a sin

had not made much preparation for a

Utilizing a Double.

ar. Robert Soutar's extraordinary
facial resemblance 10 Mr.. John Hol-
lingshead once stood him in very good
stead indeed.
A good many years ago Mr.. Hollings-
head became lessee of the Gaiety the

acting manager. Among those who
applied for the post wa Mr.. Soutar,
and upon seeing him Mr.. Hollingshead
at once engaged him, and for a very
curious reason. Like a good many
other men in similar positions, Mr.. Hol-
lineshead was often visited at the the
atre BY persons whom he was unwilling
TO see for various reasons.
When one of these gentry called il
was Mr.. Hollingshead's custom to get
Mr.. Soutar 10 interview him, the fact
being that the latter gentleman bore so
wonderful a personal likeness to the
lessee of the Gaiety that it was almost
impossible for any person not intimate

tinguish one from the other .-London

The SisaI Plant.

The leaves Of the sisl plant are of a
dull green color, four to six feet long,
as many inches wide and terminated
by a stout dark spine. The margins
are commonly described as smooth, a
they are without teeth, but in all the
plants examined by the Writer the
leaves were slightly rough on Il. s1ges,
and in many Of the young plants some
of the leaves had well developed teeth.
A full grown plant presents a rather
striking appearance, bristling all over
with the long, spiny tipped leaves,
thickly radiating from the short cylin-
drical trunk, which is crowned by a
sharp. slender. conelike bud. Indeed
a large plant makes one think of a q.
gantic sea urchin. The leaves as they
unfold from the bud slowly assume a
horizontal position, but remain rigid
and straight, never c%urving downward,
as they do in the century plant.
When the plant arrives at maturity
and has a sufficient store of nOurish.

known TO c~ultivators as the mast on

On the authority of DIR. Fraser Halle,
it is quite possible for a man TO see his
" brain. Fifty years have elapsed
since Purkinge observed that by pass
ing a candle 10 and fro several times by
the side of the eye the air in front was
transformed into a sOrt of screen, on
which was reflected what vas then sup
posed TO be "a magnihed image of part
of the retina." Sir G. then Mr.
Wheatstone believed it TO be the
shadow Of the vascular network. "
Mayo thought il was IAN image Of the
blood vessels of the retina." Sir Ben
jamin Brodie said that it was to him
really incomprehendble. By means of
more careful drawings DIR. Fraser Halle
resumed the exploration and succeeded
in identifying the picture with the rep
~resentation Of the anterior lobe of the
cerebrum."
The picture consists, he has long OBJ
served, of red cOnvolutions with dark
iu~terspaces," among which a whitish
admixture is sometimes visible. These,
he says, constitute exactly the image
of folds Of the interior lobe of the
brain with the burrows between them
The candle should be moved to and
fro about four inches below the eye
and three and a quarter inches from
the face. When the movement cease
the undulations of course also cease
and the image disappears. A reddish
mist appears first, and the image il
developed and defined. Night ID

The Ear.

As delicate as the organ Of vision is
that Of hearing, and as careful a watch
should be kept upon it, 80 that no loss
of that more exquisite sense may occur.
When several blind persons were ques-
toned As to which they would rather
do without, their visual organs or those
of hearing, the majority declared in
favor of hearing. We feed acompassion
for the blind; for the deaf we are not
often sympathetic. The spectacle Of a
sightless individual touches US 10 tears,
that of one who cannot hear provokes
almost a feeling of drollery. Yet, no
doubt, the loss of one organ is as pa
thetic a thing As the loss of the other
Many erroneous ideas still exist in the
public mind that interfere seriously
with the work of the skilled aurist. Too
many people think that the is so
delicate an organ that nothing whatever
can be done 10 alleviate any distress
arising therein, and allow a trivial dis
order, that might be rectiied by an
aurist, to bring about a case of partial
deafness that settles into permanency.
