One of the richest of the Wall street
bankers, a gentleman of very am1abie dis
position usually, has conceived a violent
dislike of peddlers in consequence of a
smart trick that one Of that class played
on him day or two. ago. In defiance or
the conspicuously posted notice, "Beggars

soiled and hungry looking vendor of IL
Illuminated calendars pushed his way into
the bankers private Office and insisted that
the rich man must buy calendar to help
"a starving fellow creature" He bothered
the banker with his Ill smelling presence
SO long that his departure was purchased
for half dollar. The banker pointed to
two or three calendars hanging in his
office. and said that he had no use for an
other one.
The peddler, however, volunteered TO
leave one at the bankers house that even

offer, but when he reached home that even.

him to collect dollar from me"

banker, with rising choler.
II did," said the wife.
The banker muttered few harsh words
to himself and, summoning his butler sent
him out into the street with instructions
to find that blamed peddler and bring

Adopting Her Fatber,s Gospel.

The refrain Of a story to which friend
called the Bystander's attention has been
ringing in his ears for many day. A little
girls pious father was wont to comment
bitterly upon the evil things he saw and
heard, always ending his denunciation
with the consolatory reflection. "Well, it's
none of my business" One cold winter
day the little lady was out riding in the
city, wrapped in furs and closely mufHefl
in warm robes, when she saw child OF
about her own age scrambling along on
the icy pavement crying bitterly, the tears
almost freezing on her cheeks. She was
very poorly clad, having only some rags
about her feet, leaving the toes bare to
snow and frost.
The sight made a deep impression on the
little ones mind. All day long she could
talk of nothing but the poor, ragged Nttle
girl, and in her prayer before retiring she
was moved to lay the matter before the
Lord in the following addition to her &C
customed nightly petition:
"And o Lord, l saw little girl today
It was awful cold and there was snow IL
the street, too, but she only had On thin
ragged dress and no shoes at all. Oh
dear, she did look so cold, and did feel sc

The German Achilles.

The present emperor of Germany is IN
fortunate in having in his veins the blood
of ancestry tainted with eccentricity and
insanity One of his ancestors in the Fiji
teenth century was Albert, surnamed the
Achilles of Germany because he was so big
and strong. His mind was as weak, however,
as his body was strong, and so it was pro
posed to put the state under the care of a
regent. Albert heard of the plan and sent
for the counselors who Were considering
it. The latter were frightened when theg
saw their sovereign, his face plainly show
ing the anger be felt.
Albert turned to the Count Of Craven
stein, who presided over the council, and
with one blow Of the sword laid the unfor-
tunate nobieman dead at his feet The
others protested their loyalty, and threw
the blame for the proposition 10 depose Al

An Odd Superstition.

Two girls sat drinking coffee in ladies'
restaurant One of them had just put the
cream in her coffee and was about to stir
it with q spoon, when the other suddenly
cried out:
Don't touch it, Kate! Don't disturb it
for the world! Try and take it up without
breaking it,"
s'What is it?" asked the other, starting
back in alarm.
"Why, don't you see? There's money in
it. Look at that piece of silver floating on
your coffee"
The other looked and saw round white
spot about the size of quarter floating On
her coffee.
slip your spoon under it and take it out
witksrt breaking it and you will get
money that you don't expect. But if you
disturb it in taking it out the charm will
be broken. Oh, poor Kate! You won't
get any money. It's all gone"
The two fair heads nodded in sympathy
as the g-around-the-rosy in the cup
broke into airy nothingness and disap-
peared.-Detroit Free Press.

spends Its Winters on a Ship.

1t is twenty years since tDick'' first came
aboard the lightship which lifts and dips
over Brenton's reef, the toughest bit of
water in Narragansett bay, and one of the
most dangerous spots upon the Atlantic
coast. For twenty years he has shared
what the crew had to eat; has been their
gentle and affectionate pet; has taken his
part of the weather and enjoyed it all.
At just such time every spring he has
disappeared, to spend the summer on his
native shores, but every autumn has found
him back again at the ightship for the
fierce and dreary winter.
Age is telling on him, and for three or
four springs the sailors have watched his
departure with sad misgivings.-BostOn

Charging, Right Foot First.

When President Lincoln issued his first
cal for volunteers Garfield was member
of the Ohio senate. A legislative drill
squad" was organized, and at 10 O'Clock
the same night about sixty representative;
and senators assembled under the dome OF
the Capitol rotunda.
The first exercise, "sizing the men by
height" placed Senator Garfield upon the
extreme right of the company, and the ad
jutant general informed him that nature
had evidently designed him for a first ser
geant. AS such he would be expected tt
aid in the instruction of the recruits.
The position of the soldier" was mi
nutely explained, amid general merr1ment
and marking time'' followed, and ther
an advance of three PAGES to halt. The
alternate orders, Left! Right" had beer
executed fairly well, when Garfield sud
denly broke the silence.
'Say, general, why don't you go off with
the right foot first? That strikes me a:
good sense"
With that musket was sent for ant

The charge was ordered and executed
with vigor.
Hold, sergeant, that will never do,
said the adjutant general. "The whole
company is watching you. You advance
the left foot first Remember your ow7
instructions. Ready! Charge bayonetn'
A shout went up from the whole com
pany as Garfield attemptedito obey TIT
order, right foot first. He enjoyed the fun
as well as any of them, and as the senator
and representatives dispersed, shouts O
Left Right" resounded through tn,
corridors of the capitol.-Youth's Com

Did the Greeks Paint Their Sculpturesf

Did the Greeks Paint Their sculptures
In 1884 Professor Treu published a
pamphlet entitled "Sollen wir unsere
Statuen bemalen?", Ought we to paint our
statues?) which made profound impress
sion on the artistic world; and the perusal
of this led me to give the matter careful
attention. Being in Europe at the time |
had excellent opportunities for investiga-
ton; and starting absolutely without bias
or preconception 1 made careful Totes OF
every bit of evidence, pro and con, which j
came upon during trip through Greece
and Italy, and also in the larger northern
museums, as a result of which l became
convinced of the following points:
That from the beginning of their art OIL
sculpture, through its whole course, it was
the custom of the Greeks, and following
them the Romans, to paint their marble
statues and reliefs.
That this application of color was not re-
stricted to certain details, but covered the
entire surface of the marble, both nude
parts and draperies, with the possible ex-
ception of portions where the natural color
OF the marble served its purpose in the gen
eral scheme.
That the colors used were not merely
tints, but strong body colors, the aim on
the artist being to initiate nature In the
matter of color just so far as the sculpture
itself did in that of form; that is, with d
conventional ideaAyation or generalizar
ton by which the unpleasant features OF
realism were avoided-Edward Robinson
in Century.
