A scared Animal.

Swift footed animals that have been

French leave in spite of kind treatment.
although in moments of danger such
renegades will sometimes remember an
old protector and volunteer to renounce
their habits OF truancy. The post trader

recognize the authority Of its landlord.
Juanita would absent herself for weeks
together and visit the post only as a
guest, or privileged member of an in
specting committee, for she rummages
the premises, appears and disappears
without asking anybody's leave, and re-
sents every attempt at familiarity on
the part OF her former owner, But one
evening she had just entered the store
when troop OF horsemen alighted at
the gate, and minute later govern
ment scout with big wolf dog stepped
up TO the counter, while his companions
deposited their saddlebags near the open
door.
Juanita cast an uneasy glance at the
blockaded door and in the next instant
caught sight of the dog and he of her,
when the attitude of both parties be-
came so disagreeably suggestive of an
impending set-to that the scout reached
for stick to chase the dog out. But
Juanita either misconstrued his motive
or had already made up her mind TO Sc
cure vantage ground, for just when he
faced about she leaped upon the counter
and with the next jump upon the shoul-
der of her old master, and there pro-
ceeded to ''get her back up" growing
vfciously and bristling up to twice her
natural size, like a cat.--San Francisco

About "A National Flower.

There is very little use in talking about
an American national flower. We are
not nation, no matter how many big
Ms we may put to the word, in the sense
that Englishmen and Frenchmen consti-
tute a nation. What is typical In one
section of our continental republic is
not typical In another, and an emblem
which might mean great deal In New
England or New York would have but
an artificial significance in Louisiana or
California State flowers we might
have, and to some extent we do have
them. California has formally adopted
the Eschscholtzia, or California poppy,
as It's emblem. Maine men wear pine
branch when they want to indicate what
state they have come from.
Our Massachusetts flower is naturally
the trailing arbutus, and that ought to
be formally adopted as our emblem. AT
the Grand Army encampment nearly
every state delegation wore something
which was characteristic of the state.
We comprehend ourselves better II we
divide ourselves up by forty-four, and
there are enough plants and flowers to
go around.-Boston Transcript.

Henry jacobson, who is employed at
the North Manukau Heads as beacon
light keeper, was out in his boat six
miles down the harbor when IL was
struck by squall and swamped and the
occupant left in the water. jacobson
dived and endeavored 10 relieve the bal
last, but without success He then
grasped an oar, and being good swim
mer struck out for land, but as strong
tide was running he was swept down
the harbor distance of three miles.
At that point he was attacked by u
large shark, which grabbed at his hand.
He protected himself, however, with the
oar. which he tried to ram down the
sharks throat. The fish then made n
circle around him and renewed the at
tempt. BY this time, however, Jacob
son had his sheath knife drawn and des-
perately stabbed the shark, ripping its
side open so that the water became red
with blood.
A further attack was made, when
Jacobson again stabbed the monster
near the tail and it swan away. At that
time boat came in sight jacobson,
too much exhausted to speak, was hauled
into the boat, having been in the water
two hours and thirty minutes. New

Illustrated Signs.

The pictorial sign is but little seen in
this country. Among the few that we
find are the District Telegraph com
pany's pictures, showing deceptive rep
resentations of fast speeding messenger
boys, and the colored signboards used
by nearly all costumers, some East
Broadway modistes and few Bowery
tailors. One clothing establishment had
the rather original idea of placing por-
traits of all the members Of the firm be-
tween the windows of the building, and
the same plan was later on followed by
an electrical belt doctor on Broadway.
The back view of gentleman with a
very high collar is familiar sign on
one of the city's launderies, and Steve
Brodie has had the scene of his first ex-
ploit reproduced in color. At Eighth
avenue and One Hundred and Thirty
fifth street shoemaker has for many
years hung out signboard showing q
cobbler with kit on his back mounting
horse and the inscription, Wont you

No Title for Whittier.

notice that you refer to the poet
Whittier as "Mr. Whittier" This,
take it, is in bad taste. Call him Whit
tier, John g.. John Greenleaf or Friend
Whittier, but never "Mr." Whittier.
He belongs TO that pure democracy NJ
Quakerism that permits no prefxes or
titles to proper names-no Mr." no
REV." no "Hon., no Esq, but plain
John, James, Charles, Dora, Rebecca,
etc. 1t does not accord with the gem
orally accepted feeling toward him. The
good Quaker poet is nearer to the hearts
of our American readers than any other
living poet, and those readers are sensi-
lively exacting in the particular Of the
treatment accorded him by others

Hang Your Clothes ON a Eickory aamD.~
After the rather unsatisfactory az
perience of last season the district COM
inissioners have decided to experiment
further with the Fl, hathing beach.
This time, however, there is to be no
risk of life, provided the plans of the
commissioners are successful. Last sea
son the beach was open TO all comers.
put In the future none but experienced
swimmers will be allowed tn enjoy the
privilege. With this end i'm view the
commissioners have, through their sec
Fetary, DIR. Tindall. addressed the fol-
lowing communication 10 the superin-
tendent Of the beach;
The commissioners direct me TO no.
tify you to permitpersons who can swim
TO use the public bathing beach till
otherwise notified You will not permit
any one TO use the beach unless satisfied
by personal observation that he can
SWIM"
A perusal of this order will show that
the commissioners have imposed rather
complicated and important duty ON Su.
perintendent Stevens. BY strict COM
pliance with the order no candidate for
cleanliness will be allowed TO enter the
water unless he can swim, and the su-
perintendent is first TO determine ones
ability in that direction by personal
observation" Just how Superintendent
Stevens is to separate the experts from
the raw recruits by mere personal OBJ
servation" is rather difficult to under
stand, unless he should subject appli-
cants TO an exhibition Of their natatory

An Accomplished Parrot.

On Sacramento street, near Kearny,
on any sunshiny afternoon one can see
hanging in front of q Chinese store a
large cage containing green parrot,
which bird is a most distinguished lin
guist. He possesses the faculty, so rare
among foreigners, of speaking Chinese.
He also speaks Spanish and English. To
singsong question addressed to him
in Chinese by his owner the parrot
gravely replied, Pretty Polly, goodby," :"
while in answer to the stereotyped query,
Polly want a crackerT he burst into a
food of Chinese. He evidently scorned
to reply to the time honored query, there
being no cracker in sight.-San Fran

Recently on the Marietta and North
Georgia railroad train ran over and
killed COW near Thompson, Tenn. n
day or two afterward, when the train
passed through, an officer arrested the
engineer and took him before justice
of the peace, where he was tried fo-
cruelty TO animals. The passenger train
was held four hours, during which time
the mails were delayed. 1t seems that
the prosecutors have gotten themselves
in bad fix.
Warrants have been issued by judge
for the arrest of the justice of the peace,

sheriff and the lawyer for contempt of

1t must take nearly half an acre Of
glass to cover the flowers of the White
House conservatory. 1t keeps two men
busy all the time to take care of it, and
the finest of all kinds of flowers from
orchids to roses are in bloom here. There
are broad india rubber plants which
are worth from $50 TO 800 apiece, and
there are some flowers which are abso
lutely worth their weight in gold. On
the night of White House dinner or

HALF A MILLION THERE.
A May Day Gathering Of the Teiling
Masses Of London.
FOREIGN ANARCHISTS GIVE THE
BRITISH A FRIGHT.

Bag Resembling Miniature Arsenal
Found in the street-That Was the
Only Exciting Incident of the Day
Apart from the Wonderful Gathering
of PeaceabIe Armies of workinemen
and Women-They Ask an Eight Hour
Day.
LONDON, May May day was OBJ
served here in a very quiet manner. A
large procession formed on the Thames
embankment, and marched to Hyde
Park, where monster meetings were
held. Many speakers addressed the
crowd, including Cunningham E. Gra-
ham, the socialist member Of the House
Of Commons, Tom Mann and Ben Tillott.
the labor leaders and Stepniak, the Rus
sian Nihilist. Resolutions were adopted
declaring in favor of the eight hour day
and calling upon Parliament to pass an
eight hour law bill. There was no dis
turbance.
The Hyde Park gathering was the
largest demonstration of workingmen
ever organized in this city. Workmen
began to assemble on the Thames en-
bankment at ten in the morning. Each
contingent was headed by band of
music, and every company Of paraders
carried banners. The men themselves
were bedecked with rosettes and favors,
The procession made bright spectacle
and applause was frequent as the toilers
marched along in perfect order with all
most military precision. The procession
occupied nearly three hours in entering
Hyde Park. The number of persons who
took part is variously estimated at from
10000 to 100000. A large force Of
mounted and footpolice and conting-
ent.of the st. john Ambulance Associav
ton were present. The assemblage dis
persed quietly.
The Woman's Trade Uaion passed
resolution IN favor of cooperation to seii
cure fewer working hours.
A black bag was found today in se-
cluded street beside Woolwich arsenal.
1t contained a quantity of gun cotton,
dynamite and gun powder and a belt
filled with cartridges. Several docu-
ments written in a foreign language, re-
ferred to a person whom the police are
now tracking. It does not appear that
any attempt was made to. cause an ex-
plOSion.

PARIS, May MAY day was ushered
in with the police on the qui vive and the
strongly reinforced garrison of Paris
ready for instant service. Hitherto on
May day it has been customary for work
ingmen to march to the Chamber of
Deputies and present petitions. Dele
gates were also sent to the Hotel de Vile
for the same purpose. This year, the
day falling on Sunday, the workingmen
were debarred from following their
usual custom. At an early hour, process
sionists began to form for the march to
the Sale Favier. Only 5000 men took
part in the procession. A man named
Culine, imprisoned last year for taking
part in the rioting last May day at Four
mics, was chosen president and a num-
Der OF speeches were made. M. Vail
liant delivered a harangue, in which he
declared that this was the last time the
claims of the workingmen would be
urged in this form. The workingmen
intended this year, he said. to deliver
their ultimatum to the government on
the question of an eight hour day. If
this ultimatum did not result successful
ly, they would resort to more energetic
measures to secure the granting of their
demands.
Up to 4 this afternoon, Paris was per-
fectly quiet. Thus far the streets have
not presented the hustle usual on Sun
day, many persons fearing conflicts be
tween the police and workingmen and
passing the day at home. There was no
display of police or soldiers, but every
one knows the authorities were ready to
put down with strong hand any at
tempt at rioting.
The Petit Journal says an unknown
man placed an iron pot filled with pow
der and scrap iron in china shop on the
Boulevard Voltaire. He was compelled
to decamp before he was able to ignite
the fuse attached to the impromptll
bomb.
The first authentic report of a May-day
dynamite outrage was received from
Tours. Early this morning a bomb ex-
ploded near the Guise barracks. The
noise of the explosion was terrific. AT
first it was enormously supposed that
Anarchists had attempted to blow up the
national powder works. The populace
for time were greatly alarmed. Sol
diers ran to the spot where the explosion
occurred, and found man lying sense
less in a pool of blood. He was badly
injured. No doubt is entertained that
he is the victim of his own crime. He
was taken to the hospital under arrest,
and at last reports had not regained con-
seriousness.
A despatch from Chartres states that a
panic was caused among the people who
attended services at the cathedral there
today by an explosion in the nave of the
building. For time it was thought
that Anarchists had attempted to blow
up the cathedral. 1t was found the
noise was caused by the explosion of a
squib placed in the nave by mischievous
urchin.

cHloAeo's MAY DAY.
The Police Broke Into the Ranks and
Seized Red Flags.

CHICAGO, May IAN immense process
sion was the feature of the May day Gel
ebration here. Three red flags were car
ried by three separate organizations in
the line. The police broke into the
ranks, seized the flags and
arrested the bearers who were
afterwards warned and released. The
arrests caused no commotion. There
was no disorder on the lake front where
the speeches were made.
