HER SWEET REVENGE.
fou Can't Always Judge n woman's
Parse by Her Clothes.

The shopper is bit careless of her
appearance-that is to say, she has the
courage of comfort and most alb
normal liking for old clothes. says the
n. T. Recorder. Notwithstanding. she
is large, liberal. and exceedingly
considerate buyer, spending irst and
last many dollars for the gauds and
gewgaws dear TO the souls of her
friends and family out of town. She
was shopping 10 behalf of one of them
when this experience befell. Fair
Catherine had written, inclosiug
liberal check and saying: II want an
evening gown. Won't you please buy
it without regard to anything but your
own taste?'
Catherine is sweet and 20, willow
slim and graceful as Greek goddess.
Her cousin at once decided to buy for
her creamy China crepe, with girdle
of gold and golden touches here and
there. When she sat about getting it.
purposely she chose an uncrowded.
rainy day. Naturally. too. she wore
stout shoes and her seeond-best bon
net. Thus garbed she went into !. big
Broadway shop and sought the silk
counter. 1t was in charge of lofty
young person. whose eyes caressed the
ceiling as his fingers caressed his
mustache. At first sound of the shop
per's voice he did not stir. When she
repeated Show me your China
crepe" he dropped his eyes, looked
her over superciliously, and said:
Who are you suying for?' My
self" she returned; whereupon he
leaned over the counter and said famil-
iarly: My good woman. you have
come to the wrong place. We keep
only tirst-class goods. People like you
have to 60 on the avenues 10 get what
they want"
do they' Well. let me see some
fine things once in my life. " the would
be purchaser answered. ConcIiated
by her meekness. the lofty young per-
son showed her some of the hand
soonest things in stock. After looking
them over the lady bought few yards
of silk that pleased her. sent up 800
bill in payment. and ordered it sent 10
her home one of the haudsomest
apartment-houses ia the city. When
her 800 change came back she said 10
the now obsequious young man: Il
am sorry TO have to go elsewhere for
the bulk OF my purchases.
Only that and nothing more. But
she left behind her salutary sense of
the deceitfulness of appearances.

FOSSIL FOOTPRINTS.
Several Marks OF KeptiIes's Feet Dlssov-
cred In Hoiyokp.

Several footprints Of reptiles OF va.
rious dimensions have lately been dis.
covered about three miles from Hol-
yoke. Mass. upon the rock in e. l..
Bosworth's quarry. near the shore oi
the Connecticut river which have
caused considerable excitement and
ELECTED many inquiries.
These discoveries occur not infre.
quently. more than twelve thousand
such footmarks having already been
brought to light. aud, in fact, it is well
known throughout the scientific world
that the new red sandstone Of the Con-
necticut valley which extends about
one hundred and ten miles from north
to south aud average about twenty
miles in width from east TO west. Is
one of the most prolific repositories of
fossil prints. Slabs of this stona hav-
ing upon them the wonderful indenta.
tions can be found in almost all the
museums OF this country and Europe.
"A few days ago" says naturalist,
accompanied by my friend, Prof.
Woodman, who is. as the world knows.
one of the most profound scholars in
the natural sciences. | tied Mr.. Bos-
worth's quarry. The soil over the
rocks. which is not very thick at that
locality, has been removed aud left ex.
posed an extensive area, upon which a
large number of tracks are apparent
Prof. Woodman said that in all his
ramblings through the world he had
not seen such large number cluster
ed together in so crcumscribed q
place. Several of the tracks can be
traced from one end of the quarry TO
the other
There Snot only large number Of
them. but they are of various sizes and
were made by animals of different
species. though the conformation of
the foot indicates that they belong to
the same genus. Some OF the tracks
measure Is inches in length and 10 in
width; others are 10 inches long and
there are others that do not measure
more than 3 or inches and are of
proportional width. a slab taken out
near the edge Of the public road which
forms the northern boundary Of the
quarry has two large. wcll-deineated
tracks upon its surface feet inches
apart, which indicate the stride in the
steps of the animal.
All the tracks bear the same con.
formation of the foot--that is. all have
only three toes and the steps bear the
same characteristIcs--they are single:
that is, made by bipeds. There is no
doubt they are much smaller now than
when first made. The mud in drying
up must have contracted considerably
to become as the rock is to-day--of ?
crystalline texture.
