AtHA -'lilh LII xaLiHhs
In his jour,aeyings to Courland Prime
Bismarck managed to pick up one Or
two Lithuanian phrases, md on o1e o.
casion terrified a couple Of luflies nearly
out Of their wits by an unexpected dis
play Of his acquaintance with t}leir ma
tive lunguage. TIC was sitting at R
table dhote in Frankfort opposite to
two Young lu4lies who were carrying
on an nninlut,,u conversation. They
laughed very frequently, AMI appeared
to be critit:lsi1t& tho company. From
sundry Indications Bismarck gathered
that ho waH singled out above tho rest
as an Object of ridic11le. Tie knew suffi-
cicut to convince himself that they were
talking in Lithuanian. The latlies quite
naturally supposed themselves perfectly
snfe in speaking a lurbaric dialect which
''nobody would understand" and en-.
joyetl the. fun immensely. Meantime
Bismarck whispered to Il friend who WAS
sitting next to him:
"When you hear me spenk II few
words in Il foreign language, please hand
1ne key"
AT dessert, when tho ,nerriment Of tho
yos,ug Indies wis ut its height, they
heard. to their gre,tt CONSERVATION, tho
gentleman opposite calmly say to his
neighbor:
"Dohd ,nnn to azlel<' (givo me the
key. 1Ie got his key, but tho 1aaies sud-
denly turned crimson, jumped up FROM
their seats and fled out Of the: room. -~

On Tuesday a very successful perform
ance Of the "AntigOne" of Sophocles was
given at Bradfeld college, near Reading.
For the first time since the overthrow Of
the ancient world Greek play was pro-
duced under much the same physical
conditions as prevailed at Athens. An
accurate copy Of an ancient theatre had
been constructed out of disused chalk
pit, the spectators sitting on broad, low
steps, which rose tier above tier of semi
circle from the level Of the orchestra.
The blue sky of perfect June day
overhead, the scent of the incense burn
ing on the altar round which the sena-
tors chant in rhythmic cadence the
strophes and antistrophes of the chorus,
and the stately pageant of the stage
beyond, combined to produce an impress
sion which few of their audience are
likely to forget. The effect of the voices
in the open air was excellent, the BOYS
having been trained to make every word
heard. and the occasional half inter
ruptions from bird singing in the leafy
borders of the rural playhouse only I'M
creasing the charm of the whole perform
ance. The acting throughout was re-
markably good and very unmodern-
the players wisely refraining from any
attempt to copy the mannerisms of Mr..
Irving and Miss Terry. The dresses and
the stage arrangements generally left
nothing to be desired. London Spectator.

A valet of Louis XIV published
cook book in 1866, in which he gives
as follows the reason for the inven-
ton of the hollow soup plate:
The plates of the guests will be
hollow in order that they may help
themselves to as much soup as they
may want without being obliged to
take it spoonful by spoonful, because
of the disgust they may have for one
another on seeing the spoon go from
the mouth to the tureen.
Guests. it will be seen, used their
own spoons to fill their plates, the
large spoon to be used for serving
the soup not being invented till some
time later. Yet, even a hundred
years after the invention of the soup
plate Q749), a work on civility adj
vised that all the dishes should be so
placed on the table that every one
could reach them with his spoon,
and that if the soup was served in a
dish (tureen) every one should help
himself with his own spoon without
seeming to be in a hurry. A work
on manners that appeared just be-
fore the French revolution-that is,
at the close of the last century
deemed it best to advise its readers
that it was impolite to pass the spoon
back and forth between the mouth
and the tureen. Golden Days.

UnpleasantIy Affectionate.

An English traveller in Persia had aIk
rived at Abadeh, where European tele-
graph official, Mr. G., welcomed him
Hospitality and invited him to remain
for the night. He says;
An hour later was comfortably set
tied upon the sofa when my rest was
suddenly disturbed by loud bang at
the sitting room door, which, flying
open, admitted two enormous animals,
which | at first took for dogs.
Both of them made at once for my
sofa, and while the larger one curled
comfortably around my feet and COM
posed itself to sleep, the smaller one,
evidently of a more affectionate DISPOSE
ton. seated itself on the floor and com
menced licking my face and hands, an
operation which, had dared, should
strongly have resented.
But the white, cleaning teeth and
cruel looking green eyes inspired me
with respect. to use no stronger term;
for had by this time discovered that
these domestic pets were panthersl To
my great relief, Mr.. G. entered at
this juncture.
Making friends with the panthers, 1
see," he remarked pleasantly. They
are nice, companionable beasts"
That may have been true at the time.
The fact remains, however, that three
months afterward the "affectionate
one" half devoured a native child The
neighborhood of Abadeh, Mr.. G. in
formed me, swarms with these animals.

Pets of English Regiments.

It may not be generally known that
there is a special reason why the Royal
Welsh Fusiliers should have a goat.
They are a very ancient corps, and at an
early period of their existence it was the
custom to have a goat with shield and
garland ON it's horns to march at the
head of the drums. Every LIST of March
being the anniversary of their tutelary
saint, David, the officers used to give an
entertainment, and after the cloth was
taken away bumper was filled around
to the Prince of Wales, and the goat,
richly caparisoned for the occasion, was
led thrice around the table in procession
by the drum major
In 1884 the then regimental goat of
the Welsh Fusiliers died and her mai
esty presented the regiment with two of
the finest goats from hock-the gift Of
the shah of Persian Windsor park,
and since that date the queen has con
tinued to supply the Welsh FusiYiers
with goats as occasion required. The
pet of the Second battalion Derbyshire
regiment used to be a ram; that of the
Eighth Kings Royal Irish light dra-
goons, now hussars, a horse; the Royal
Warwickshire had an antelope, the Ros-
shire Bluffs a deer and the Fifteenth
lancers a tiger.-Pall Mall Gazette.

A Patent kisherman

One of the oddities of the Column
bia river is the patent fishing
wheel" an automatic disciple of
Walton, which stands on the Oregon
side of the river, about a mile below
the famous cascade. The whole de
vice consists of a jetty of rocks built
out from the shore, with an outside
sluiceway in which the gigantic fish
ing wheel constantly revolves. 1t is
an undershot wheel, and having
been built at time when the river
was remarkably low, can be raised
or lowered according to the stage of
water. The persons who built this
odd piscatorial device understood the
habits and instincts of the salmon,
the inny beauty for whose capture
it was specially erected, it being well
known that in making their runs"
they follow the shore line instead of
taking to the middle of the stream.
A sluiceway to the slackwater
caused by the jetty has been built,
and the salmon in attempting to go
through this are caught in the net
buckets that are fastened to the arms
of the fishing wheel and safely de-
posted in a trough. This trough or
gutter communicates with the
round up pen on shore, where the
''catch" is canned and shipped to all
parts of the world Besides several
hundred young fish unfit for canning
from /, 800 to 5000 adult salmon are
caught every day in this fishing
novelty, and it is safe to say that
there is not a more curious machine
in the world today.-St. Louis Re
nrhlic

1t is most peculiar sight to see
the canal boats which are burdened with
ice coming down the river. There are
hundreds upon hundreds of them now
being hurried to the metropolis. The
whole deck of the boats is covered with
earth several inches in thickness to pro-
tect, as far as possible, the precious COM
modify from the ravages of the sun.
On several of the boats which passed
the city yesterday grass was luxuriantly
growing from the earth which covered
the decks.-Albany Argus.

Hnw the Mends Dnnce.

The serska reja is pantomimic dance.
Each couple has its own turn of leading
The cavalier places his partner in front
of him, facing her, and while the band
keeps playing and the company singing
one of those peculiarly stirring Wendish
dance tunes he sets about adjuring her
to grant him his desire and dance with
him. She stands stock still, her arms
hanging down flop by her side. The
cavalier capers about, shouts, strikes
his hands against his thighs, kneels,
touches his heart-with the more dra-
matte force the better. At length the
lady gives way, and in token of consent
raises her hand.
Briskly do the two spin around now
for the space of eight bars, after which
for eight more they perform something
like cross between a chassez croisez
and jig, and so on for little while,
after which the whole company joins IN
the same performance. AS finish the
cavalier islands" the band and his part
ner some liquor, and merry round
dance concludes his turn of leading to
the accompaniment of tune and song.

A foot Yankee. seated upon load OF
brooms, drove his team mp before ING
door of an establishment where he ex-
pected to find a purchaser. Jumping
from his seat he entered the store and
the following colloquy took place;
Yankee-Can't | sell you a load OF
brooms today, mister?
Dealer-No; don't want any.
Yankee-Better take 'em-sell 'em dog
cheap
Dealer-Don't want 'em; got enough
brooms.
Yankee-I'll tell you what III do. If
you'll take the lot I'll let em go for one
dollar dozen. You know they're with
double that
The dealer stroked his chin for mo-
ment, as if in deep thought, and then re-
piled:
"Well, don't want any brooms, as |
told you, but | don't mind making a
trade with you"
Yankee What sort of trader
Dealer-Well, I'll take your whole load
at one dollar dozen and pay you one
half cash, you to take the other half iR1I
trade.
Yankee-No you don't mister! You'll
charge me such an all fred profit on the
other half that might come out at the
little end of the horn.
Dealer-Oh, no; promise you that
you shall have the goods just at what
they cost me.
Yankee Wall, mister, that's what !
call square dealin. It's bargain.
And he commenced to unload the
brooms in pile on the sidewalk. When
he got through he walked into the store.
There you are, mister; fourteen
dozen, which | calcurlate makes just
seven dollars comm to me-"
Dealer-Yes. that's right; there's the
money. Now what goods do you want
for the other seven dollars?
Yankee Wall, dunno. You see,
mister, hain't much posted in your
other truck, so guess I'll take brooms.

The Humane society of Pittsburg has
turned up a genuine wild boy. He is
colored, aged 10, and his name is sup
posed to be Harry Allen. He was
brought from the mountains of Virginia
because his parents, who lived there in a
semi-civilized state, could not keep him
at home He would run away ever since
he was old enough to climb up the noun
tain side Sometimes he would be in
the woods alone for month at time.
He lived on berries, roots and live birds.
which he could catch with the facility

raw. His hands are like claws, and the
pupils of his eyes dilate like those Of a
cat.-Exchange.

A curious legend regarding the
cuckoo is found among the Danes,
which, with some notifications, is
likewise current in many parts of
Germany, in England and the north
of Europe When in early spring
time the voice of the cuckoo is first
heard in the woods every village girl
kisses her hand and asks the ques-
ton, "Cuckool cuckool when shall
I be married." and the old folks in
quire, "Cuckool cuckool when shall
l bereleased from this worlds cares2"
The bird, in answer, continues sing
ing Cuckoo" as many times as years
will elapse before the object of their
desires will come to pass.
But, as some old people live to an
advanced age, and many girls marry
late in life, the poor bird has so much
to do in answering the questions put
to her that the building season goes
by; she has no time to make her
nest, but lays her eggs in that of the
hedge sparrow.-London Queen.
