Gently witnessed an amusing incident
at q railroad station in New Jersey.
A waiting passenger stepped over to
the counter where newspapers, knick-
knacks and tobacco we're sold and
bought a cigar. This he lighted and
strolled composedly about the room;
presently the porter of the place ap-
preached him, and with emphatic Hi
bernian tongue asked:
"Can you rade?"
"Quite fairly" answered the passen-
er. "Why?"
"Then what does that sign rade?"
demanded the porter, pointing to one
the ticket-seller's box.
"'No smoking" responded the pill
grim in q deliberate tone.
"Well, that's the rule, dye moind."

"Well, what does that big sign by

MONSTERS OF THE DEEP.
The Gigantic DeviIfLsh Stranded on
the Irish Coast.

The Gigantic DeviIflsh Stranded on
the Irish Coast.
Not long since the people OF Achill,
or Eagle Island, lying off the coast Of
Ireland, in County Mayo, were &C.
corded a privilege rare in the annuls
of the human race-nothing less than
the uncommon sight of q stranded
"devilfsh."
When first washed ashore at the en-
trance OF Blacksod bay the villagers
took it to be the carcass OF some gi-
gantic and unknown species Of whale.
After a couple or three weeks, how
ever, when it had been tossed further
inland by q terrific gale, the true
character of the uncommon visitor
was made known.
To what species Of the Oemmestre-
Plies the monster belonged could not
be ascertained, the creature being too
far gone in decay. The suckers and
the horny rings had fallen off before it
reached the strand, the parrot-like
beak peculiar to this animal being al
so missing.
The animal, though visibly shrunken
and distorted, measured as follows:
Length OF tenacles or long arms, 80
feet; circumference OF body, 60 feet;
circumference of ~tentacles near body,
4 feet each. Only four other instances
OF the appearance of this strange
monster in British waters have been
recorded. 1t is often asked why such
things ore not preserved in museums,
easily accessible to curious sight-see-
ers.
Do you know that it would take a
glass vessel as large as the hull of the
Great Eastern to show off such q
monster to any degree of perfection
whatever? Curious tales are often
told by mariners about this most gi-
gantic of water monsters.
Its enormous t~entacles are armed
with formidable suckers, nearly as
large as the average washtub, besides
hooks and spikes, each set with vici-
GUS looking teeth, all pointed inward.
Some naturalists believe that glimpses
Of the devil-fsh's arms have given rise
to the oft-repeated sea serpent stories.

SIGNS IN THE HEELS.

A CobbIer Says He Can Tell How a
Man Walks BY His Shoes.
A shoemaker says: As soon as a
man comes into my shop and takes
off his shoes 1 can tell whether or not
he is a good walker, and it is astonish-
ing to find how few men know thepro-
per way to step out.
If the shoe is worn down at the heel,

and the sole is worn most near the
toe, l know that 1 have to deal with.
poor pedestrian. The reason of the
difference in position of the worn spot
lies in the fact that the poor walker
walks from his knee and the good one
rom his hips.
Watch the passers-by on the street
and you will ut once see the differ
ence. Nine men out of ten will bend
the knee very considerably in walking,
stepping straight out with both hips
OH the same line, and the toe will be
the first to strike the ground.
The tenth man will bend his knees
very little, just enough to clear the
ground, and will swing the leg from
the hip very much US the arm is swung
from the shoulder and not from the
elbow. By SO doing he calls upon the
muscles that are strongest to bear the
strain and increases the length of his
stride four or six inches. The heel
touches the ground first and not the
toe. A slight spring is given from the
bali of the foot on making another
stride.
Men that walk in this fashion cover
the ground 80 per cent faster with the
same exertion than those that walk
from the knee. In pugilism the old
rule is to strike from the shoulder and
not from the elbow. In pedestrian
ism it is to walk from the hip and not
from the knee.--St. Louis Globe Dem

THE B~LAcK-PATcH FAD.

History of the Female Device That
Originated in the Time Of Edward

How any fashion SO ridiculous as
sticking black plaster on the face
originated Is a mystery which has
puzzled historians OF costumes and
customs from the beginning of the,
notion, which dates back to the court
OF Edward vi, where, it is recorded,
a foreign lady wore such q patch to
cover Il small wen on her neck; and in
one OF Bulwer's novels, Artificial
C%hangeling," which appeared Just be-
fore the restoration, we read OF one of
her heroines: "Her patches were of
every cut. for pimples and for scars"
So, you see, they are intended to
represent the lesser Of two evils, to
cover up something worse, but there
is one thing they positively will not
cover and that is the evident desire
on the part of the wearer to attract
attention to her face. 1t certainly
IS the emblem Of extreme gayety, to

after the foreign lady, yet it was
not original with them, since we read
of the fashion being i'll vogue among
the Roman danes in the degenerate
days, mark you. Have we reached a
corresponding state of degeneracy?
