French Umbrellas.

The best umbrellas were for a long time
made in France, where, in the middle Of
the last century, they were among the ar
tieles manufactured by the corporate BODY
OF BOursiers. Their general makeup was
very weighty and inconvenient, while the
top, instead of being tipped like walking
stick as today, was furnished with large
ring by which the umbrella was suspended
or carried The English umbrella of the
period was close copy. IL was once
thought legitimate to employ any one of a
number of queer mechanical devices in
umbrellas, so that some of the inventions
which appeared in France about a hun.
dred years ago were very amusing from
the present day standpoint.
The folding umbrella was one Of them.
Its rod was hollow tube containing a
strong spiral spring, which pressed upon
an inner rod, to the top Of which stretchers
were attached. BY pressing a trigger in
the handle the spring was released and the
umbrella flew open, being returned to II
folded condition by means of cords to o.
pulled, running along the outer rod or
cylinder.-Clothier and Furnfsher.

An individual who opened small tavern
near the field Of Waterloo was frequently
questioned as to whether he did or did not
possess some relics Of the battle, and he In
variably and honestly answered in the
negative
But he was very poo-, and one day while
lamenting to \ neighbor not only his pow
erty but the annoyance to which travellers
subjected him, his friend cut him short
with, We'll, make one help the other
make some relics "
But what can l do?" inquired the poor
man.
Tell them that Napoleon or Wellington
entered your shop during the battle and
sat down in that chair"
Not long after an English tourist entered
the tavern, and, inquiring for relics, was
told the chair story. The chair was bought
at an incredible price.
The next conner was informed that Wei
hngton had taken drink, and the We'll
hngton tumbler was accordingly sold.
The third arrival gazed with breathless
wonder at the nail on which Bonaparte
had hung his hat. The fourth purchased
the door posts between which he had en-
tered, and the fifth became the happy pur-
chaser of the floor on which he had trod
den.

An Embarrassed Attorney.

One of the visitors to the court house
was "Uncle Sammy" Moore, who received
a hearty greeting from the attorneys
around the building and the attaches of
the various courts. Uncle Sammy"
years ago made reputation by the man
ner in which he tripped up Albert G. Por-
ter, minister to Italy, but at that time a
practicing attorney. Mr.. Moore was juror
and Governor Porter was arguing the case
His main dependence was on the testimo-
ny of one William Fiscus.
Gentlemen" said Mr.. Porter, "the Fis-
Gus to whom l refer is not the Fiscus
who achieved such notoriety in the Clem
easel
"Yes, he is, Albert" interrupted Juror
Moore. "He is identically the same Billy
Fiscus."
This interruption SO embarrassed Mr..
Porter that it was some time before he
could continue with his argument.-In

Hannah's Bad Break.

A conscientious lady of this city had
hired new girl and was posting her in
her domestic duties.
"Now, Hannah, when | do not wish
to see any one that calls, expect you
to say not at home,'" said the model
mistress.
"But wouldn't that be lie, ma'am?"
asked Hannah.
"Not at all. 1t means mot at horae to
you,' which is quite different from say
ing that am out. Do you understandT
"Yes'm," said Hannah. II think
see what you are driving at"
She soon had an opportunity to put
her new learning into practice. A lady
called whom Hannah's mistress did not
wish to see and the girl met her with
the very bearing and front of truth, as
she said:
"Not at home to you, ma'am."
I think the face of the mistress must
have been study when she overheard
truthful Hannah's prevarication. - De-

Horses and Riders.

Some day an interesting article may be
written on horses that have made history.
Last month two horses came very near
changing the course of events in two en-
pires. On May 27, as Lord Salisbury was
driving down st. James street, one of the
carriage horses got its leg over the traces
and thereby upset the nervous equilibrium
of its companion. The two then bolted
down the street and could not be stopped
until they upset the carriage and made a
general spill. Lord Salisbury was lifted
out of the overturned vehicle, shaken but
uninjured. His hat, however, was smashed
Had it been his head, what difference it
would have made!
In Germany the young emperor's horses
have run away with him once more, but
this time, beyond rushing over hedge and
across field-they only afforded the en-
peror an opportunity for the display of his
customary coolness"-the episode had no
result. Had the runaway team broken the
emperor's neck what a prospect there
would have been before Germany and Eu-
rope! The heir to the German throne is
child of ten, who but the other day received
his first commission in the German army.
There would have been regency with all
its complications. of Reviews.

A Big Rudder.

The rudder of the French ironclad Bren-
nus is eighteen feet high, thirteen feet
wide and weighs seventeen tons. In trans
porting it from the shops where it was
made to the shipyard it was necessary to
suspend it between two fiat cars, as it
could not be placed upon single car in
any position, even by this latter arrange
ment the rudder just clearing the roadbed
and the arches of the tunnels through
which it was necessary to pass. This great
rudder was built with an interior frame
work of wrought steel, iron angles and
plates, and covered With steel plates, ex-
care being taken to haveit per-
fectly watertight. ht.-Chicago Inter Ocean.
