however, that the whole military force is

Drinking from Lady's Shoe.

In London century ago 1t was no
uncommon practice on the part of the
fast men to drink bumpers to the
health of a lady out of her shoe. The
earl of Cork, in an amusing paper in the
COnnnOiSseur, relates an incident Of
this kind, and, to carry the compliment
still further, he states that the shoe
was ordered to be dressed and served up
for supper. The cook set himself seri-
ously to work upon it; he pulled the up
per part (which was of fine damasl1)
into fine shreds, and tossed it up into Il
ragout, minced the sole, cut the wooden
heel into thin slices, fried them in bat
ter and placed them round the dish for
garnish. The company testified their
affection for the lady by eating heartily
of this exquisite impromptu." Within
the last score of years, at dinner of
Irish squircs, thu health of a beautiful
girl, whose feet were as pretty as her
face, was drank in champagne from one

How q Young Mans Name Caused Him to

Salzburg is one of the most charming
summer resorts in German Austria. The
other day a young man arrived whose
appearance was 80 stril1ingly beautiful
that all the mothers Of marriageable
daughters tried to Guido each other in
their attentions to him. But this friend
ly intercourse had not lasted many days
when, all of a sudden, he found himself
Stunned by verybody. When he made
his appearance at a public hall of any
kind, he found himself the sole Occu-
pant of the place in a minute. One
evening all the fashion of Salzburg had
met at concert hall, when the stranger
made his appearance, sitting down in
one of the reserved seats His neigh
bors right and left jumped up and in a
few minutes the hall was almost empty.
The stranger stopped some of the fugi-
tives, asking for the reasons why he
was thus Stunned by everybody.

young man burst out laughing, and

is John Charles Hamburger" Then the
! Salzburgan produced list of arrivals
in which was printed the name, John
| Charles, Hamburgan. The mistake was
rectifed and on the day following the
young man formed the center of attrac-

HE STARED TOO HARD.
But the Old Gentleman Wished He Hadnt
Spoken About 1t.

An elderly man seated in Sixth ave-
nue. elevated train the other day, when
a pretty young woman entered and took
the vacant seat beside him. She WAS
followed by man who took the seat
opposite.
Now, this elderly man, says the New
York Recorder, was reading his paper
when this young woman entered, and
he continued to do so, but his attention
was attracted to the man opposite, who
was staring at her as only men can
stare. The young woman seemed an
noyed and bit her lip and looked in an
other direction.
GLOW insolent of that man! It's a
shame she should be so annoyed"
thought our friend beside her. At
length the good-hearted old man could
stand it no longer and he exclaimed, in
dignantiy:
Don't you know any better than to
stare at woman in that manner?"
A peculiar expression came over the
''starcrs'" face, as he answered: Il don't
know of anyone who has better right,
sir-she is my wife,
The interested passengers smiled and
the old gentleman got off at the next
station.

Amount of Salt In All Oceans.

Expert photographers and others of a
curious turn of mind and a faculty for
figuring on things that seem impossible
of solution have concluded that the
waters of the oceans and seas of our
globe hold not less than $1,000, 900, 900,
100000 tons of salt in suspension! II
these figures are correct and the oceans
should be entirely dried up, there would
be deposit of salt $50 feet deep over
every foot Of the great basin. If taker
out and spread upon what is now dry
land it would give US a salt covering
nearly 1900 feet thick.
