How a New York Bachelor Regarded a
Washington Chaperon.

How a New York Bachelor Regarded q
Washington Chaperon.
Last season, relates Washington
letter-writer, a well-known bachelor of
New York city visited the national CAPT
tai to enjoy the social advantages of
the official season. While there he met
charming young woman, whom he in
vited to accompany him to the opera.
She accepted the invitation provided he
would permit her to ask some older
lady as chaperon. She secured the
companionship of prominent wealthy
spinster in the West End, who was a
mutual friend, and the evening passed
delightfully."-. Not long afterward the
young man invited the fascinating
chaperon to accompany him alone to
the theater, when, to his surprise, she
also demanded the presence of third
party, and for propriety's sakeproposed
her maid.
He accepted the position with as
good grace as possible, and upon the
evening appointed called for his COM
panion in coupe. The lady appeared,
cloaked and hooded, followed closely
by an ebony female attendant. When
about to step into the carriage, where
she had already placed her maid upon
the only vacant seat, she turned smiling
ly to her escort and remarked: "Mr.
A., will you be kind enough to sit
outside with the driver?" The highly
disconnected beau looked aghast for an
instant at such an unusual proposal,
but quickly recovering himself threw
open the carriage door, and, with an ex-
c1amation more expressive than polite,
replied: mo, I'll be hanged if I will
Let the darby sit with the driver, ifyou
must have her." 1t is needless to say
that his determination carried the day,
but the lady was comforted by the pres
ence of the sable chaperon, who occu-
pied rear seat in the privacy of the
box throughout the performance.

HIS REMARKABLE MEMORY.

A Jeweler Who Never Forgot Any Dia-
mond He Ever Saw.
There isno individuality in diamond.
Take it from the setting with which
you havegrown familiar, place it among
number of other stones of the same
size and the chances are a hundred
to one that you will not be able to pick
it out again. Despite this fact there
are some men long accustomed to the
handling of precious stones who can re-
member and recall one of them as easily
as though it were human face.
A curious instance illustrating this
odd faculty transpired in the Office of a
Maiden Lane jeweler the other day, says
the New York Commercial Advertiser.
Years ago now famous American
comedian went to Australia and played
a lengthy and successful engagement in
that country. just before he sailed
homeward Dan Mcguire, a manager
well known in Melbourne In those days,
presented him with handsome dia-
mond shirt stud as souvenir Of the
numerous pleasant hours that they had
passed together during his visit, The
comedian wore the jewel for a time
after his arrival here and finally gave 1t
to boy, one Of his distant relatives,
for Christmas gift after ityhad been
reset as ring.
The other day the boy, now grown to
be a strapping young man, took the
ring to the Maiden Lane jeweler to have
it repaired, and handed it over to
desiccated and gray-haired little Eng
ishman who stood behind the show
case.
He looked long and steadily 1T the
stone, and reminiscent. smile curved

PARlsIANs AT THE THEATER.

| "
They Go There with the Fixed Purpose
of Enjoying Themselves.
The French love for the theater can
hardly be overestimated. They love it
for its own sake, for what they see and
hear there. Even in Paris it is only the
more thoughtless votaries of pleasure
the busy idlers of the thigh life," (pro-
nounced ''igg-leaff'') who look upon the
theater merely as one of the many en-
vironments in which social business is
to be conducted. The sort of unrea-,
soning, automatic attraction toward the
theater, the love for its very atmos-
pherc, and the daily recurring home
sickness for its thronged auditorium
and deoxidated air, that one finds in al
most all classes in Italy, are not charac-
teristic of the average Frenchman, nor
even the average Partisan, says a writer
in Scribner's Leaving the s'high-lifeurs"
aside, you will find that when the Paris,
idler goes to theater or to concert,
he does so with the perfectly fixed in
tent of enjoying himself in definite
and predetermined way; he is careful
to know beforehand just what he is to
see or hear, and makes up his mind that.
the entertainment will be to his liking.
before he buys his ticket. Once at the
theater, his absorption in what goes on
on the stage is complete, and his disap-
pointment correspondingly acute if the
performance does not please him.
Then, when boredom has fastened upon
him-the thing in,life he most abhors-
he becomes most unpleasant person
to act to. The traditional cool apathy
of Boston audience does not begin to
be the wet blanket to an actors fire
that the unconcealed boredom of a
Paris house is. Loud expressions of dis
approval have gone out of fashion, and
are rather frowned down, but the un-
easy restlessness of house face to face
with dull play is communicative, and
more eloquent of discomfort than Kisses
and cat-calls. And the Partisan sell
dom, if ever, takes refuge in that favor
lite resource of the American when he
finds himself bored; leaving the thea
ter before the play is over and going
home. He likes his Grammatical or must
cal pleasure in large doses, partly as
matter of taste, and partly also for
reasons Of economy; for an evening out
means saving Of frewood and lamp oil
at home.

A CURIOUS COINCIDENCE.
Two Soldiers of the Same Name, State and
Rank.

Two Soldiers of the Same Name, State and
Rank.
The recent death of Mai. William G.
Manning of Newport, Me-, says the
New York Sun, recalls the curious coin
eidence of two men Of the same name,
both belonging in Maine, both enlist
ing in Massachusetts regiments, and
both attaining the rank of major In the
volunteer service. One was the de-
ceased-the other being Maj. William
@. Manning of the regular army, now
stationed in Texas, brother of Prem
tiss G. Manning, prominent merchant
Of Portland. The similarity in the
names and rank of the two men has
frequently caused annoying and ludi-
crous mistakes on the part of the people
who mixed the soldiers up. On one &C.
casion the Newport major visited a
western city and his arrival was mem
toned in the local papers. Next day
he received note from a lady whom he
never heard of before asking him CURLY
why he had neglected to call upon her.
Was he too much taken up with other
people to pay any attention to her, or
did he not consider it worth his while
to call? and SO on, the epistle plainly
leading up to flow of tears The as
tonished veteran did not call upon the
lady and when they met she felt more
foolish than neglected. She was the
intended bride Of the other major. The
two soldiers occasionally happened to
be in the Same city at the same time,
and as both were well-lxnown innumera-
BILE blunders botheded them until they
got far apart again, and they often con-
graduated themselves that they lived a
great distance from each other.

A PENGUIN CITY.
The Orderly Habits of a Species of Aquatic
Rfrd6.


The Orderly Habits of Species of Aquatic
Birds.
During our recent cruise, writes
Falkland island correspondent, we
went ashore on sequestered island to
view what the captain called ''pen-
gum city," Sure enough, the whole
island, comprising perhaps fifty acres,
was laid off in regular squares by
streets running at right angles, the
lines straight and true as a surveyor
could have drawn them. AS Is well
known, penguins spend their lives on
the water except during the breeding
season, when they are obliged to seek
the shore. You will hardly believe me,
but 1t is nevertheless true, that the
birds not only lay out their city in
blocks, but pick up all the loose stones
till the whole place is as smooth as
board floor. Then they take possession
in couples, each pair selecting home
site-not to build nest, but merely to
preempt particular spot on the bare
ground.
The hen lays one egg, and only one,
and during the time of incubation the
male bird brings her food from the sea
or sits on the egg awhile himself If
she wants to go out and take swim.
But in this case, as in many others,
virtue is not ''its own exceeding
great reward" because the lady PEN
guins grow so fat and sleek under the
good care of their faithful husbands
that they are more eagerly hunted at
that particular season. The old birds
are too tough and fshy to be relished
by man or beast, but the tender young
matrons are in great demand both for
their oil and flesh. Even the eggs have
an oily and fishy flavor, and taste as
hens eggs might if cooked in kerosene.
The penguin is by no means a hand
some or graceful creature He has
wings like any other bird, but they are
altogether too short to fly with, though
they may assist him somewhat In
waddling over the ground. When In
the water he has no use for his wings
because his broad feet, webbed like
those of duck, propel him rapidly.
There are several varieties of him, the
largest, called the Emperor penguin, .
weighing from twenty-five to forty
pounds. It is funny to see colony of
these ungainly birds marching up and
down the streets like soldiers, all the
time standing erect and maintaining an
air of great dignity and Importance.
