An unanpreciated Clown.

The popular clown. Anatole Durow, Is
lodged for the present, to the great sor-
row Of his Partisan admirers, in Plus-
sian house of detention. he was to have
performed on Tuesday in q Paris circus,
with his educated pigs and rats. The
artist and his Quadruneds owe their
great popularity i'll Paris to their Russian
birth. But the justice of Prussia out of
hatred to Russia aid France is hinder
ing the Parisian folk from the enjoy
ment of their anticipated delights. A
week ago Durow was on his journey
from St. Petersburg 10 Paris. There was
a long delay on the RuSsian-Gerlnan
frontier, and the clown tried good hu-
moredly to make the time pass as agree
ably rs possible for the first and second
class passengers b. giving an impromptu
entertainment.
Unfortunately his jokes took the
shape of such depreci2tory attacks upon
the German emperor that some of the
audience farcicd that he must have
taken leave of his wits and forgotten
that he was out of Russia and not yet In
France. The Germans were indignant
at his uncallcd for insults to their ruler,
which had probably been got up for the
sympathetic Paris stage. When Durow
stepped ont of the train ct the Fried
richsstrasse station in Berlin, he was
courteously informed by the police that
he would have to accompany them to

BURGLAR Eceps . Safe.

On Monday the burglar who broke
into Colonel Arthur Payet's house. III
Belgrave square, few nights ago, was
charged at the Westminster police court
and committed for trial at the Old
Bailey. 1t appeared in evidence that
this prisoner, named Thurgar. alias
Knot, has struck out new line in the
business Of craftsman. Since August
last, when ne came out of prison, he has
rented a safe at the Chancery Lane Safe
deposit, il order no doubt to avoid any
unpleasant association with receivers of
stolen goods. When searched by the
police the safe was found empty, yet 10
doubt, but for the accident of Colonel
Paget's appearance at the moment when
Thurgar was taking Mrs. FACETS jewels,
it would now contain plenty of articles
of value.
There is something very amusing in
the picture of the apparently respecta-
BILE middle class gentleman who rents a
safe and is constantly depositing i'll it
heavy packages, but who is in reality a
noted burglar. The writers of melo-
drama have never dared to draw so i'm
possible picture as this; and yet, after
all, they might with perfect propriety
have brought the millionaire and Bill
Sylsesstogether in the corridor of the
Safe deposit.-London Spectator.

To Take on Old Paint.

1t is very seldom now that you see a
painter burn off old paint with u spirit
lamp or torch. though there are still a
few who stick to the old method. The
easiest way to clean paint off wood, or
even metal, is to mix lime and salsoda
pretty thickly in water and then apply
freely with Il brush. After short time
the paint can be scraped off without diff
Guilty. ANY amateur can use this recipe;
only little care is advisable, as the
mixture will remove skin from the
hands or face even more rapidly than it
will remove paint from wood or metal.

Co,or to capture q Live whale.

Captain Amos Chapman, of Boston,
but formerly of Provincetown, has ar
rived on the cape and is shippinga crew
of old experienced whalemen for new

In an interview with the captain he

s1isers with Good motives.

Occasionally men have become misery
from good motives, as did an Italian
physician, who denied himself the COM
mon necessarics Of life. and when he
died was mourned by none until his
will was read, when it was found that
he had left his entire fortune to be ex-
pended in bringing water from the
mountains to his native. village. So
also when Bethlehem hospital was built
an east end miseT gave a donation of
e10O. When a collector called for the
amount he was found scolding servant
for throwing away a match which had
not been burned at both ends.-Cassel's

necessity for xeepinr Clean.

An old physician being appealed to
for some general comprehensive rule foT
the preservation of good health, replied,
keep clean" Cleanliness, from med
ical point of view, generally means the
absence of noxious germs. The laity
generally comprehend in the term free
dom from foreign substances, while the
psychologist and moralist have refer
ence to purity of mind and soul. All
these combined wouldn't form the first
principle of good health. Freedom from
all filth with reference to the body and
its surroundings, freedom from contain
nation of mind and soul, would make
the individual not only free from ma
terial pollutions. but would inspire him
with sense of cleanliness, a feeling Of
purity that would cleanse life and glorify
the consciousness of living.
There is a meaning in the word
"clean" that penetrates beyond things
seen and touches the mental and spir-
itual nature of humanity. Cleanliness
in material sense may not abhor dissl-
pations and debauches which impress
life with sense of impurity, vitiating
the sources of health and impairins its
judgment Keep CLEAN is an admoni-
ton carrying with it an inspiration
which not only invigoratcs life, but
makes it ENJOYABLE and beautiful. Clean
illness brings rot only comfort and
health, but it ndorns living, gives exist
ence a charm, imparts consciousness of
life, real enjoyment, thought and feel
ing of existence, the purpose and sane
tity of living. There is world of mean
ing in the two little words "keep

Sweet. but Costly.

Stolen kisses may be sweet, but they
are rather dear at the present market
price at Valparaiso. Senior Talca, of
that town, kissed lady without asking
permission while walking in the plaza.
The lady appealed to the law and the
gay Talca suffered Imprisonment for
sixty days. In an evil moment he also
appealed, and was kept in Jail 200 days
while his appeal was being considered.
The result OF that consideration was the
addition of thirty days more to the origi-
nal sentence. We hope the lady is now
satisfied; the least she can do is to return
Il kiss which has cost the giver so many
pains.-London Globe.

W. 2. Jackson. Of Norway. had an

New YORK, Feb. 1l.-General Nelson a.
Miles of Chicago, was asked if he approved
of tie policy of enlisting Indians as sol
diers in the regular army, as suggested by
Secretary Proctor. lie said that he did
not believe in it.
THE regular army of the United
States" said General Miles, ''is not a
kindergarten or a school, and l do not be-
lieve it wise to enlist Indians, who have
little knowledge OF the civilization of the
whites, in the service for the purpose Of
civilizing them. We might just as well
introduce Cinnamon into the service or
any other element that does not readily
sssimilate with US. The strong point OF
the army Is that every soldier is patriot
who loves the flag and will fight for it
under all circumstances,
General Miles outlined the possibility of
regiment of Indians being sent TO New
York or some other eastern port TO empha-
size his belief in the undesirability of the
red man as member of the regular army.
The Indians be said, make good scouts.
but he did not think they were well quail

believed il was wise policy which con-
greSs had adopted authorizing the appoint

should deal with the Indians, as they un-
