SAW THE EMPEROR.
A Persistent Yankee Who Forced His
 Way to Royalty.


 The newspapers recently stated the fact of the presence of an American oak in the imperial gardens at St. Peters, burg, says the St. Louis Globe-Demo- crat. Concerning this tree curious story was told many years ago, appar- ently with absolute verifcation. When MT. Dallas, afterward vice president, was in St. Petersburg as American min ister, he was )ne day visited by tall, awkward Yankee, who, being requested to state his business, immediately said that he wanted to see the emperor. He was assured that obtaining an inter view with the emperor was no easy task, but not being disposed to take refusal he was requested to leave his name and return in about a fortnight, when his application would probably be considered and determined. A week or two later the American minister was surprised by visit from the tall Yan- kee, and, beginning to assure his visitor that an interview with the emperor could not be obtained, the Yankee re- sponded that he had already seen the emperor, had just called in at the em-
 
 bassy for the purpose of saying good by, as he was on his way home. Mir. Dallas was dumfounded, and inquired into the particulars, when he found that the man actually had, by sheer force of brass, succeeded in passing the guards at the palace and seeing the emperor. ''I gave him a present, too." What was it?" inquired MT. Dallas. "An acorn from Mount Vernon from tree that grew over Washington's tomb. The emperor planted it in the garden with his own hands. I followed him out and saw him plant it." Strange as the story was, it was true, and the oak now growing in the imperial gardens at St. Petersburg sprung from the acorn carried thither as a present to the em- peror by the long, awkward American.

Some of the Disadvantages Famous Men
 Must Suffer.
 Fame has it's own peculiar bitterness, says the Youths Companion. Isn't it pleasant to go back with laurels to your old home?" asked some one of cele- brated artist, who replied, quizzically: 'It would be, except that many of my townsmen think me a house-painter. That is a worthy trade, but still it is not nay trade" Yet such a sting is not the sharpest to be imagined.
 A century ago there lived famous almanac-maker named Partridge. One day, while travelling in the country, he stopped for dinner at an inn, and after wards called for his horse, in order to continue his journey.
 ''If you will take my advice, sir, /" said the hostler, you will stay where you are, unless you want to be over taken by heavy rain.''
 Nonsense" was the reply. It doesn't look in the least like rain"
 He proceeded on his way. and was thoroughly drenched by the shower in which he had refused to believe. Turn ing back, he was met by the hostler, with broad grin.
 "Wen, sir," said the man, ''you see was right, after all"
 "Yes, you were right, and now you must tell me how you came to know about the rain"
 "Well, sir," replied the man, lyon see we have book at our house called 'Partridge's Almanac and whenever that fellow promises us a fair day, we know it will rain. Now this day is put down in the almanac as settled fine weather I looked at the prediction before I brought your horse out, and that was how could put you on your ovuard g

A SUBMARINE MONSTER.
The Gigantic Cuttlefsh Recently Found
 in Ireland.

Not long since the people of Acbill, or Eagle island, lying off the coast of Ireland, in county Mayo, were accorded a privilege rare in the annals of the hu- man race-nothing less than the uncom- mon sight of a stranded "devilfsh." When first washed ashore at the en- trance of Blacksod bay the villagers took it to be the carcass of some gigantic and unknown species of whale. After a couple or three weeks, however, when it had been tossed further inland by terrific gale, the true character of the uncommon visitor was made known. To what species of the Gmmestrephes the monster belonged could not be ascertained, the creature being too far gone in decay. The sucker and the horny rings had fallen off before it reached the strand, the parrot-like beak peculiar to this animal being also miss ing. The animal, although visibly shrunken and distorted, measured as follows: Length of tentacles, or long arms, thirty feet each; circumference of body, sixty feet; circumference of tentacles near body, four feet each. Only four other instances of the appear ance of this strange monster in British waters have been recorded, says the St. Louis Republic. It is often asked why such things are not preserved in mu- seums, easily accessible to curious sight seers. Do you know that it would take glass vessel as large as the hull of the Great Eastern to show off such monster to any degree of perfection whatever? Curious tales are often told by mariners about this most gigantic of water mon- sters. Its enormous tentacles are armed with formidable suckers, nearly as large as the average wash tub. besides hooks and spikes, each set with vicious looking teeth, all pointing inward. Some naturalists believe that glimpses of the devilfish's arms have given rise to the oft-repeated sea-serpent stories.

unaI Scientinc Methods Arc Doing for
 the Fair Sex.
 This is the era of the heavyweight athletic young woman, who walks abroad with the swinging tread of a grenadier, shoulders erect, chest ex- banded and head held high, young woman who thinks nothing of ten- mile walk and is altogether a new type of American independence, says the Boston Post.
 She is the evolution of the modern college. Higher education has done it all, and before we know it we shall have raised a race of amazons and the girls of Laselle and Wellesley will be challenging the boys of Yale and Har- yard in rowing and racing and football athletics.
 Prof Bragdon, of Laselle seminary, is authority for these facts: Since the opening of the seminary in September up to date forty-two young women have gained pounds or over; three, 14 each; two, 16; one, 19; one, 20; one, 22, and the record breaker has gained g pounds in a little over four months. The featherweight of them all weighs ; S1 pounds, the heaviest plump 167, and they are the healthiest set of girls in all New England. So much for cal isthenics, athletics, physiology and hygiene in the curriculum of higher ed ncation, for Laselle specializes health and avoirdupois even above Greek and T.ofin

MAJESTIC PALMS.
They Are Very Useful as We'll as Orna-
 mental.

1uSy ATe very USe1ul as we'll 8s Orn8-
 mental.
 The talipot, or great fan-palm, grows for about thirty years, and reaches height of more than hundred feet. Then for the first and only time, it blossoms. What looks like a single huge bud four feet in height is devel- oped, and finally bursts into pyramid of snowy plumes composed of number less small cream-colored flowers.
 The cluster is sometimes twenty-five feet high, and at it's base has diam eter of forty feet. As Miss Cummings says, in her 1.-Two Happy Years in Ceylon:" ''It is a glorious object, and is visible from an immense distance, as it often grows among fiat surroundings such as rice fields"
 The natives turn the leaves to thou sand uses, domestic and literary. When on a journey, and especially if they are on pilgrimage to some sacred shrine, each of them carries portion of one of these great leaves tightly folded into a long, narrow form, like gigantic closed fan.
 This serves as a SunShade or rain cloak by day, and at night several friends contribute every man his palm leaf, three or four of them, with the pointed end upward, forming very fair bell-shaped tent And very pictur- esque few groups of these tents look when pitched in some forest glade round blazing camp fires.
 Formerly the exact grade of every great noble was shown by the number of such sunshades which he was en- titled to have carried before him, and on state occasions a leaf, inlaid with pieces of glittering tale, and folded like huge fan, formed the ceremonial canopy which was held above his head by one or more attendants.
 The leaves attain their largest size when the tree is about twenty years of age, at which time they sometimes measure twenty-five feet from the base of the leaf stalk to the outer edge of the fan.

COAL GAS IN LATIN AMERICA.
Places Where Immense Profits Are Made n, on Fuel.

Places Where Immense Profits Are Made H, on Fuel
 ] It is singular that so rich and large city as Mexico, with 400, 900 inhabitants, should have only one small gas works, and make its gas from resin and wood at price equal to S6 per 1000 feet. Nicaragua has no. gas works at all, since it would be too expensive. Coal is worth $25 on the coast.
 Further south, in Buenos Ayres, is a different state of affairs; the city has 800 miles of gas piping and one gas com pany makes If per cent. profit on it's stock. The price is S5.2O per l, 1000 feet. The coal comes from Cardiff, Wales, of which the freight is from s to SS per ton, and the coal costs from SIS to S15 per ton. This seems the price generally throughout South America, and the wonder now is justified, why Americans do not step in and take away the trade rom the British. Our state department has issued a special number of Consular Reports on Illuminating gas from which he above data are gleaned.

AN ELEGANT" TRANSLATION.
A Divlne's Peculiar Attempt to Improve
 the Scriptures.

A Divlne's Peculiar Attempt to Improve
 the Scriptures.
 The King James version of the Bible is classic of classics, but there have not been wanting men who fancied that it needed retouching and refining. Dr. Harwood, an English divine of some two hundred years ago, went so far as to make a new and elegant translation, says the Youths Companion. His pur- pose, as he modestly expressed it, was to 'tclothe the genuine ideas and doc trines of the apostles with that propri- ety and perspicuity in which they them selves, apprehend, would have exhib- tied them, had they now lived and writ ten in our language" Some of his att tempts to avoid ''the bald and barbar- ous language of the old vulgar version" are worth quoting as terrible examples of what elegant writing is not.
 The plain-spoken warning to the Laodicean church is improved thus:
 "Since. therefore, you are now in a state of lukewarmness, disagreeable medium between the two extremes, will, in no long time, eject you from my UedTD WILL ldSI1OlOuS COHlCIupCs
 The translator is especially happy in what may be called his personal euphemisms. Nicodemus is ''this gen. tleman;" one of the apostles Athenian converts is "a lady of distinction" and the daughter of Herodias is ga young lady who danced with inimita ble grace and elegance" The father of the prod igal is "a gentleman of splendid fam ily," and St. Paul no longer leaves ''cloalh" at Troas, but a portmanteau," as was certainly more becoming to a dignified ecclesiastic.
 On the Mount of Transfguration St. Peter no longer says in vulgar. every day language: "Lord, it is good for us to be here," but "Sir, what delectable residence we might fix here"
 The apostles saying: "We shall not all sleep, but we shall all bc changed" becomes ''We shall not all pay the com mon debt of nature, but we shall, by soft transition, be changed from nor tality to immortality"
 The magnificent is thus rendered.: "My soul with reverence adores my Creator, and all my faculties with transport join in celebrating the goodness of God, my Saviour, who hath in so signal man. ner condescended to regard my poor and humble station. Transcendent goodnessl Every future age will now conjoin in celebrating my happiness"
