1t Is quite interesting - study the diff.
ferent ways men have Of wearing their
cuffs. A certain class Of men always
wear the largest size they can buy, and
another class get those but little larger
than their wristbands. As rule the
small, weazen faced man wears the larg.
est cuffs. He generally gets No. II and
always allows them to come down over
his hands. The fat man generally wears
small cuffs and rarely has them in
sight. Another conspicuous character
is the man who always keeps his little
finger sprawliny around in the attempt
to push his cuff up where it belongs.
Examine his hand closely and you will
find u small callOus on the outer edge Of
his little finger. Why does he persist in
wearing them in this way? He realizes
that 1t looks untidy and that they are an
annoyance to him, yet you could not in
duce him to have his shirt sleeves made
any shorter or to wear sleeve supporters.
Then again you meet the mHn who
always wears the cuff machine" an
ingenious continuance that attaches the
cuff to the shirt sleeve and may be raised
or lowered at will. Next comes the man
who saves his laundry bill by reversing
bis cuffs. aud the man who has them
Joined 70 his sleeves. Enquirer.

Mr.. FIELDS DESCRIPTION OF A THRILLING
SCENE IN NIDOCEAN


But our work was not over. After landing
the cable safely at Newfoundland We had an.
other task, to return to midOccan and recover
that lost 10 the expedition Of last year 1850.
This achievement has perhaps excited more
surprise than the other. Many even now do
not understand IT," and every day ! am asked,
allow was Il doneT" Well, Il does seem rather

ocean ~ miles deep. But II Is not 90 very DIM
cult when you know how.
Once. on the 18th Of August, We got the
cable up and had II In full sight for Ave
minutes-a long. Shiny monster, fresh from
the Ooze Of the oceanS bed-but our men began
TO cheer so wildly that II seemed to be fright
ened, and suddenly broke away and went
down into the sea. This accident kept Us at
work two weeks longer, but finally, on the last
night Of August. we caught II. We had cast
the grupnel Thirty Times.
Il was a little before midnight on Friday
that we hooked the cable, and u was little
after midnight Sunday morning when we got
Il on board. All who were allowed
TO approach crowded forward 70 see II,
yet not word was spoken only the voices
Of the officers In command were heard Civ
ing orders. All felt as 10 life and death
hung on the issue. II was only when II was
brought over the bow and on to the deck
that men dared TO breathe. Even then they
hardly believed their cyCs some crept toward

Then came 4 reaction In the public mind.
ExtnyAgant lHuslatiOn gave way 10 de-
nunciRtion and deriSiOn. Was the cable q
gigantic bumbug. hoax, or another John
Law "bubbleH" More moderate critics
asked u the telegraph plateau was not for
all myth and the submerged cable prob
ably knawed In two by abrasion on the
Jagged peaks Of submarine mountAinsl
The motives Of Mr.. Field and bis coadju-
tor were severely criticised. and enemies
asserted that the alleged dispatches BY
caLls were foryerieA
Yet Mr. Field bent every energy toward
q renewal OF the scheme. In 1851 the
United States was involved In an expcn-
sive war, and, although feeling the need Of
u cable. had a Load Of war debt In prospect
that II an end to DREAMS. An incident
Of tbs%wAr, however, helped 10 renew In
teTess' n n cable on both sides Of the ocean,
for when England was about to declare
hO1ilities with this country on account OF
the Trent affair il was freely Hvowed that
a Telegraph across the Atlantic would
have warled of the crisis by transmitting
u word Of explanation In mick o. time"
After five years Of agitation, or in 1854,
eGOO,0DO new capital VIA subscribed, a new
cable and new machinery were ordered and
the mammoth steamship Great Eastern
was bought and placed ut the service Of
the company to lay the cable In July,
1885, all WIS ready for another start, and
paying out began on the Irish coast. After
two breaks in the current, which were cor
rected by picking up many miles Of wire
and splicing in new sections, the Great
Eastern completed two-thirls OF her jour
ney, and suddenly the cable broke and
slipped OF into the sea.
Mr.. Field Stood watching the Straining
cable the moment Of the calamity and
when 1t WIS over walked into the saloon
where the gentlemen Of the expedition
were at lunch. and for the first time In the
history Of the struggles his lips quiVered
and his checks were blanched. Instantly
the great ship put about and shortly stood
south Of the line paid out! Grapnels were
thrown, and after raking the ocean bod
two miles deep n whole afternoon and
night, the irons caught In some object un-

Italy's King Acknowledges His Mistake In
. Dispute With Peasant

Italy's King Acknowledges His Mistake I'm
Dispute With . Peasant
The good nature Of Italy's king is well illus
trated by an anecdote from the days Of the last
royal hunts at Mona, says the New York Sun.
King Humbert is accustomed to take his sport
with the gun in pretty much the same clothes
as other persons and without attendants.
thereby distinguishing himself from his i'm
perial German ally, who has insignia Of his
high office all over his hunting costume and is
accompanied usually on the chase by noblemen
and funkeys.
Shortly before the end Of his last season the
kings hound started hare about two miles
from Monza and the king fred. At the same
instant another shot was heard, and an Italian
peasant with an old-fashiored gun and mon
grel dog hurried up from the opposite direc-
ton. The peasant mistook the simply vet ele-
gantly clad sportsman, who disputed his DOS
session OF the hare, for O Roman dude, and
caught up tho royal arm stretched toward the
dead game. There was hot discussion, which
ended in the triumph Of the kings superior
logic and his taking off the hare. .
A. At the royal castle the king gave the hare to
the servants thatthey might prepare it for his
supper, and stood by a. they dressed il for the
pan. When the entrails were removed the
bullet that caused the animals death was
round. II was OF the old style for . gun Of the
pattern OF fifty years ago. The king looked at
1t and at once sent out q messenger to summon
to the castle the peasant who had disputed the
possession Of the hare. When the old man
was led into the kings presence the latter
stretched to him both hands and said:
my dear man, have Just discovered my
mistake. The hare belongs. to you As IL is
already roasting. however. i can do no more
than to ask you to help me eat it."
The peasant sat Mt the kings right hand ct
dinner that evening and, although high society
spoiled his appetite. he jingled his wine glsss
against that Of his sovereign and rode homie,
considerably sxhilaxatsd. in the royal carriage.

The Persian New Year.

From the Galgnani Messenger.
The annual ceremony Of No Ruiz, when the
Persian new year begins. is thus described BY
Mrs. Bishop, the English traveller: ''Some
hours after the close of q splendid ceremony
in the audience chamber, chiefly religious, at
which the shah burns incense on a small
brazier, he descends to the garden. and walk
ing alone along an avenue of royal guards
with the crown Of the kajars blazing with
jewels, carried in front of him, he seats him
self on an alabaster throne. The foreign min
listers have been received previously.
The throne is large platform with a very
high back and parapets of bold stone fretwork,
supported on marble lions and other figures and
is assembled by three or four steps. The popu-
lace, which to the number of many thousands
are admitted into the garden, see him seated
on his throne, their absolute lord and MASTER
the lord Of life and death. A voice asks if they
are content, and they say they are. hymn Of
congratulation is sung chief of the Kajar
tribe offers the congratulations of the people Of
Persia. the hakim of the people hands the king
a jeweled kalian, which he smokes, and showers
of gold fall among the populace."
