Defying SuperstitiOn.

Thirteen Philadelphia young men have
banded themselves together, if rumorS
are true, in what timid superstitious ones
will call suicide club. This Club OF
Thirteen, as its name hints, has been Or
ganized in contempt of almost all know:
popular superstitions. The club meet
ings occur on Friday evenings, and
ON the 18th of the month. in room ID
of house numbered Is. The fiery
headed member is the first to enter the
hall, and all pass under a ladder raised
in the room. On taking his seat the
president opens an umbrella handed him
by the cross eyed janitor, and sits under
it during the session The sergeant-at-
arms opens the proceedings by breaking
looking glass.
A skeleton sits opposite the president
at all feasts and two black cats stalk
around the room. The walls are adorned
with peacock feathers. Every member
is under solemn oath always to spill salt
look at the moon over his left shoulder,
stumble whenever alighting from a jour
ney, walk between couples on the street
and when together pass on either side of
a post. They are eager just now to pur-
chase raven and rent a haunted house
to hold their meetings in.-Philadelphia

An Accomplished CObbler.

II believe the finest shoemaker in the
world is the one employed by the gov
eminent at the West Point Military
academy" said an army officer. He
has been there time out of mind, is old
and bent and gray. but the shoes he still
makes for the cadets haven't their equal
in shape and durability. The cadet, you
know, is supplied with four pairs Of
shoes-a dancing shoe made of morocco
a furlough shoe made of the finest calf
skin, uniform shoe made of calfskin
but with thick sole, and winter shoe
made of cowhide. When | left West
Point l carried my cowhide shoes with
me. l marched every foot of the way
from Fort LeavenwOrth to Fort Bayard
a distance of 1900 miles, in the cowhide
shoes. That long tramp didn't phase
them, and ! have them yet. good as
new."-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

A Thief in Disguise.

Aminer operating on Sabe creek Idaho,
for some time past has missed a great
deal of amalgam from his sluice boxes
He determined to- keep watch for the
thief, and several nights ago he saw a
calf nibbl;r:; :,,r.sss near the boxes. often
reaching over the rim and drinking the
water that flowed over the riffler. He
however, paid no attention to the ami
NAL. The theft of amalgam still con-
tinued, and few nights ago, when the
calf appeared, he shot it. He ran to
where the calf was lying and saw hui
man leg, with the foot wrapped in sacks,
arotruding from the animals stomach.
It took him but second to realize that
he had shot the thief, who had been
cleverly disguised as calf. The miner
took the cnlprit to camp. and. much to
his surprise. he discovered that the THE
was young woman.-Exchange.

A ChameleOn's Bite.

The bite even of the largest chame-
leon does not fetch blood, though the
teeth leave indentations. l often pro-
woke them to bite me in order to
observe their habits, and only once.
when one caught me between the fingers
where the skin is tender, was really
hurt. On this occasion the thing held
on so persistently and firmly that !
could not for some time free my finger.
At last was obliged to call some one to
get it off by forcibly opening its mouth.
Even then it did not pierce the skin; its
teeth are too fine and regular, but the
dotted triangular impression of the lit
tie teeth was very red and distinct for
some minutes.-Cor. Forest and Stream.

A Husbands 81 .1ature Void.

A very curious case in which nus
band executed a will which had been
prepared for his wife. and the wife exc
cuted will which had been prepared
for her husband, has recently been de-
cid ed by the general term of the supreme
court of this state John and Jsne Mel
son. being husband and Wis. wanted to
make wills each in favor of the other.
and employed William Cowie to pre-
pare the instrument. which he did in
due form.
The wills were read and placed upon
the table for signature. Each then
signed one of the wills, made the re
quisite declaration as to the character
Of the instrument and asked the sub
scribing witnesses to sign. After exc
cution the wills We're sealed up in an en-
velope, which was not opened until after
the husbands death, when it was dis
covered for the first time that each had
by mistake signed the will intended for
the other. The wife brought suit in
the supreme court to correct her hus-
bands mistake in signing the wrong
will by reforming the language of the
Will which he did actually execute, so
as to make it conform to that which he
certainly intended to execute.
Her complaint was dismissed at the
special term. however, and the appellate
branch of the supreme court holds that
the dismissal was right. Mr.. Justice
Martin, in the opinion of the general
term, says in substance that there is no
will to correct, because the husband did
not make any will at all. The instru-
ment that he executed was his wife's
Will, and of no more legal significance
than if it had been blank piece of pa
per. No precisely similar case is re-
ported in this state, but there are Eng
fish and Pennsylvania decisions in point
adverse to the position of the wife.-Al-
bany Argus.

Lost q Valuable Relic.

When the Army Of the Potomac,
in the spring of 1862. moved into the
fertilization at Manassas and Centre
vile, the boys spent much of their time
gathering relics from the battlefield of
Bull Run to send home to their friends.
One day Il gawky member of the
Fourth New York brought in an unex-
ploded bomb and started to extract the
load before sending it away. He should
have taken it to an artilleryman. but in
stead took it to a blacksmith shop and,
with a hammer and cold chisel, sat
down OH the floor, took the bomb be-
tween his legs, placed the brass screw
at the point and gave it heavy blow.
The next instant the atmosphere was
dense with disintegrated blacksmith
shop. A section of the batting roof had
business over in another country, and a
chunk of the side wall went down to
visit the neishboring camp. Pieces of
iron and steel that were once tools took
an immediate vacation and fed to parts
unknown.
When the boys rushed to see what
was the matter there the man sat bolt
ui.right in the midst of the debris, with
his legs stretched out, a hammer in one
hand and chisel in the other.
''Gosh," he said, as he slowly crawled
to his feet, 81 guess the folks t homell
have to get along 'thout that she'll"
The only injury that had been done
him was the smuggling of his hair ard
whiskers. He wasn't even very much
frightened till the next day.-New

He Never LOSt-a Book.

once heard of a fine old bibliophile
who had the price put inside all his vol
umes. When asked to lend one he
would look inside it and say: "Yes,
with great pleasure. see the price is
thirty shillings, which will be refunded
when the volume is returned" He ar
gued that if the book were really required
the money would be cheerfully paid;
but he found these occasions were few
and far between, and. what is more. he
never lost any of his books or had them
returned in a dilapidated condition.
