The Democrats were routed once
Upon the free trade cry,
They think their chances better now;
But why?
They say that signs OF victory
Are in the very air."
There may be something of the sort;
But where2
Though Grover was in 'SS
Defeated, they say now
He's stronger than he ever was;
But how?
The people will. they say, dispense
With services OF Ben;
And that's what they will do, no doubt;
But when?

Provisions for a Siege.

The French government, in conjunc-
ton with the Paris municipality, are
considering 1 scheme for the erection Of
stores for preserving supplies of frozen
meat, to be used in case of another
siege. Paris in time of war needs $50
tens f meat a day. At this rate all tie
focks of sheep and herds of oxen that
could BE brought together at the last
moment wculd last but a few weeks.
and it might be impossible to feed them.
The stores about to be erected will
contain even in time of peace large sup
plies Of meat, and Immediately upon a
declaration of war will receive 10000
tons of beef andt mutton. This repre-
sents fifty days full rations, or 100 days
half rations. The forts around Paris
have sufficient food to last three years.
Nelwar is likely to last this length of
time.-EchO.

rosecute I'll raid that place in five

prosecute I'll raid that place in five
minutes. We can't do anything with
out acomplaint and a complainant"
When went back three days later
the crayon portrait house was packing
up. TIE Sowing young woman in
charge permitted me to search among
several thousand photographs for the
picture Of the lady's dead son while she
told me- more contradictory stories of
the free erayon business than I could re-
member I'm a week. The rough shelves
were crowded with these pictures packed
on end I'M boxes. There were thousands
of Them Most of them were Of loved
ones who had departed this life. The
tender inscriptions, the elaborate in
~structions about care and return-the
aged parent, the short lived infant,
brother, sister, husband, wife, faces
photographed after death, tintypes, old
cherished ambrotypes in plush velvet
cases, forgotten and covered with Gust.
If the owners had written as often and
mclosed as many stamps as this n in
quirer whom I happen to know has done,
what a golden harvest these dusty por-
traits hove yielded!
Many of the pictures were in their
railing covers, and these bore the post
marks of every city in the Union. They
had just been torn open and the money
and stamps extracted, and, if no order
for a free picture in q five dollar frame
had been given, were chucked away in
the dust, as many of the originals have
doubtless been years ago. While Twas
there the letter carrier delivered mail
containing money and stamps, and the
scowling woman scowled more because
the amount was not larger. Verify the
crop of fools is perennial, and there is a
sucker born every hour.-New York

The forces behind William II are such

whose car lives in hourly dread of as
sassinatiou, and whose people are so
many items of an official budget, so
many units in a military report. The
German emperor walks about the streets
of his town as fearlessly and naturally
as any other man, although the life of
his grandfather was twice attempted
One day, in November of 1891. he
was walking with a guest through the
narrow and crowded thoroughfare Of a
city not far from Berlin. The side
walks were narrow, and as the emperor
is a fast walker, he frequently had to
step out into the street to pass other pc
d~estrians, and especially clusters of peo-
pie who stopped for a chat.
His companion, who had been in Rus
sia. was struck by the democratic man
ner in which the German emperor rubbed
in and out among porters, fshwives,
peasants and the rest of the moving
crowd, chatting the while and acting as
though this was his usual manner of
getting about. He was struck still more
by the fact hat no precautions against
a possible murderous fanatic appeared
to have been taken and ventured to
speak of this. The emperor laughed
heartily, and said, '.Oh, if 1 had to stop
to think of such things l should never
get through with my days work.

a Cats Risky Ride.

Conductor Barnes had a passenger
without a ticket on a Baltimore and
Ohio accommodation train frUlo Wash
ington recently. 1t was a small, sleek
cat of the masculine gender. 1t was
found in a car at Beltsville station,
twenty miles from Baltimore, and in
conformity with the rules of the road,
was put off when the train came to d
stop. But pussy vas refractory and de-
termined to get a free ride.
AS the train vas starting it sprang
upon a truck under one of the cars and
clung for dear life while the train roared
across trestles and swung around curves.
Though the T made a number OF
stops. the cat still kept his seat, and
when the locomotive painted into Camden
station at 20 o'clock he was still there.
He made no effort to get away, and

Good Accounts, but Hard to Collect.

The collector Of one of curlargest coal
houses told me yesterday that it was an
inter impossi3i'ity for him to get in any
money. Said he: Il went outthis morn
ing with bills against perfectly good Gus
TONERS, a~ggregating $1,000, and after a
hard days work was able to turn i'll
but $50. The fact of the business is
and its the only way / can account fol
it"-he continued. ne luxuries of other
DAYS have become the necessities OF to-
day"
The collector of one of the principal
livery stables in this city told me that
his firm were carrying between 5000
and $4,000 of perfectly good accounts
upon their books, and that it was really
difficult for them to get enough money
in to pay their feed bills and their men
| at the close of each week. "Not," said
he, s'that the bills are not perfectly good,
but there is either an inability or a dis
inclination to pay up at the present time
which makes the situation most embar-
rassing."-New York Recorder.

A Gun rh.t Tells of Poison.

The rhinoceros horn cup was once
supposed to indicate the presence Of any
kind of poison. 1t is no longer employed
in that capacity, and many persons sup
pose that the use of such an article was
purely a superstition. 1t had its foun-
dation, however, in a scientific fact
Most poisons are acid, and acid Of any
kind poured into a rhinoceros horn cup
will at once bubble and e~ffervesce. 1t
is exceedingly curious that such an ap-
parent superstition had its Foundation il
such a fact, but perhaps the ancients
knew more about such things than we
give them credit for.-New York Jour-

A station Agent in petticoats.

A station master in petticoats! Such
was the specticle which, according to an
amusing story which reaches US from a
provincial quarter, presented itself tc
the gaze of the hewildered passen.
gers as the train in which they were
| travelling steamed into a small south
ern town yesterday morning. The sta.
ton master. with his silver braided CAP
and uniform coat, but encircled as tc
his wait with q voluminous jupe which
desceE 4 to his heels, had bounded or
the l@, I'm, apparently unconscious OF
the odd figure which he was cutting
and it was only when roars of laughter
greeted his appearance that he became
aware of the very unofficial and un-
masculine character of his neither habili-
ments.
1t was all the a.ult of a refractory
goat. His wife had been in the habit of
going out early II milk this animal il,
provision of the children's breakfast.
She had gone away on a visit and her
household duties had devolved on her
husband; but there was the rub. The
goat. accustomed to the woman, woul!
not let the man approach her. The
station master. however, was not to be
baffied. Downing a petticoat left by his
wife, he returned to the charge, this
time with success: but iusc as the milk
can was full he heard a whistle, and
remembering his professional ayocation.

the queer costume in whichhe had dis
guised himself for the purpose Of enter
ing into the goats good graces.-Paris
