men, live more or less Ike gentlemen, on
the wages of an omnibus driver But they
have taken up the profession they have
qualified for by years of laborious, half di-
gested study.
They could not drive an omnibus il they
would. Who would trust horse in their

would select the pale. narrow chested

What Was the Matter with the cal.ea

A socially inclined young couple who
are comfortably quartered in one Of the
large apartment houses up town invited a
few friends to a card party one evening
last week. Owing to a misunderstanding
regarding the date not one Of the expected
guests appeared on the evening in Ques-
ton. The young wife was greatly vexed.
She had prepared tempting little supper,
and hel economical soul revolted at the
Idea of its being wasted. One of the fea-
lures of her table was a large ornamental
cake, which she had purchased at a neigh
boring confectioner's. She cut the cake
and endeavored to induce her husband to
eat a portion of it, but he did not like cake.
She was determined, however, that some
body should eat it, and she offered it to the
hall and elevator boys, of which there were
four. They accepted it with enthusiasm
and quickly disposed Of it.
The following day every boy was sick
very sick. A doctor was called, and his
Investigations led to the suspicion that
something was the matter with that cake.
He said that the boys had undoubtedly
been poisoned. The confectioner's shop
was visited, and the story of the mischief
breeding cake was told to him. He had
evidently heard similar story before, for
he hastily exclaimed: "Oh, it was part of
that varnish batch of cake. l am so sorry.
You must excuse me. My cook put in a cup
of varnish That is all You see l have
been having the woodwork in my store
vanished. Yes, that was it. He put in
some varnish. That is all"
The boys got well, and the story of the
"varnish cake" has been repeated all over
the neighborhoOd. When the bidden guests
who staid away from the card party heard
of it they were glad that they had misun-
derstood the date.-New York Times.

He Prcrerrcd to Stand.

A tall, well built man, dressed in the
latest London style, entered u Broadway
car at Thirtieth street the other morning
He was accompanied by a young woman,
who was also dressed in the height of
style from the English point of view No
body understood at first why the man
didn't sit down. There was plenty of room
but he remained standing in front of his
companion and looked down at her as they
talked. Presently he put up his hand to
grasp a strap. Then the passengers real
lied why he had remained standing. y
very broad, fiat gold ring encircled the
thumb of the hand held aloft, and it was
in plain view of at least half the passengers
in the car. He remained in that attitude
until the car reached Fourteenth street,

How Russian ,Ien Wear Their Goats.

When in Russia l remember well on one
occasion an athletic young Saxon shrug-
Ging his shoulders and exclaiming as some
figure went by muffied up in great fur
coat, OF which the collar turned up as high
as the top of the head, without using the
sleeves, but holding the garment on as one
might shawl or blanket, with the hands
very carefully folded inside: Look at that
now! think l could quilting himself up
and clinching his fist bowl over two or
three Of these fellows myself"
Incidentally it may be remarked that
this way of wearing greatcoat, even in
summer, is almost UNIVERSAL. G., with
out using the sleeves-so much so that it
is frequently so worn in the army by all
ranks in uniform, and there is a special
word n the language which designates
this peculiar way of wearing a coat.

The Rnyages of Cholera.

The discovery ot n metEGd that would
protect an individual from cholera would
be of great usefulness, for in India, the
home of that disease, the average annual
mortality therefron in the cities is 3 81,
and in the country 1.52 per 1000 living.
The army statistics snow that . 40 per cent
Of the European soldiers are admitted to
the hospital for cholera, while only 0.95
per cent. of the native soldiers are ad-
mitted for the disease, but the mortality
$3.50 per cent. for the former, 355 per cent
for the latter-is almost equal. In the va
rious epidemic manifestations of cholera in
various parts of the world the mortality
has often exceeded 50 per cent. of those
attack ed.
In 1884 and 1885 cholera was epidemic
in southern Europe and in Spain in the
latter year the official report states that
there were almost 10000 deaths. There
were fifty-one persons affected in each
thousand living, and the mortality was 36
per cent. These statistics stimulated in
yestigators TO attempt to solve the problem
of affording immunity to cholera.-Dr. S.

Book Titles.

There are titles of various kinds, of
course, some OF which do not exist in this
free and enlightened country, although it
may be doubted if good many Americans
have not just as great fondness for them
as those less fortunate people reared under
aristOcratic conditions But the titles Of
books, not of men, is a subject of consider
able diversity and interest. One can no
more imagine u book without title than
a man without name; we should have to
call it or him something, if only Memo.
Furthermore, an attractive title is as de
sirable as an impressive name. y great
book, like great man, might rejoice in
being called John Smith" but it would
plainly be somewhat handicapped in its
appeal to public attention. - Providence
