Blondin's Narrow Escape.

1t isn't always safe to place too much
confidence in strangers, as good many
victims of the bunco game hare found
to their cost. Sometimes physical dam
ger results, as in the case of Blondin's
narrow escape
Blondin, the renowned rope walker,
usually carried man upon his back
when walking the tight-rope. Former
ly he was wont to bargain with some
one to accompany him on his danger
Gus journey. On the occasion of per-
Torrance in Chicago man offered his
services gratis. Blondin accepted them
and assembled to the rope with his liY.
ing burden. When the pair had
reached the middle Of the rope the man
began to laugh heartily.
What is it that amuses you?" the
rope walker asked, with establishment.
"Oh, a comic idea has just struck
me. I was thinking what sort of face
you would pull if, during the next half
minute, both of US were to fall down
upon the audience.
But we shall not fall, replied Blon-
din, reassurngiy.
But have determined upon this
occasion to take my life.
At the same moment the man began
to wriggle about so that the rope
walker nearly lost his balance. He,
however, soon composed himself,
dropped his balancing pole and gripped
the man so firmly with his hands that
the latter was unable to move.
Then, continuing his walk, although
in a great state of trepidation, he ar
rived safely at the end of the rope, and
allowing his living burden to slide
from his shoulders, he administered
box on both ears with such force that
the would be suicide fell down uncon-
scious. Since that terrible journey
Blondin has carried only one man, his
true and faithful son. on every occa-
sion.

Some Newspaper Stories.

Here are some newspaper stories told
at dinner given at the Gridiron Club,
of Washington, recently: A telegram
was once received at the Office of the
New York Herald from James Gordon
Bennett : There is something in the
air. Can you get at it ?" The we'll
known editor of an Ohio paper sent this
message: Things dull here. Can you
send US a sensation based on facts?''
In response the Washington represen-
tative wired back: No trouble about
the sensation. Send facts at once
Another incident was the case of one
of the society correspondents, who,
during Cleveland's administration, re-
ceived an unexpected telegram from
one of her papers on Christmas Day /:
Send five hundred words on how Mrs.
Cleveland took her Christmas turkey"
Flashed back on the spur of the mo-
ment went the answer Can do it in
fewer words than that Mrs. Cleve-
land took her turkey as Cleopatra did
her pearl-swallowed it.

Chinese La borers.

The wages paid to laborers are about
Cd. per diem, with rations. The work
ers are easily contented, demanding
only tho plainest of food, while for
housing they are satisfied in winter to
creep all together under long low
mat shed with a solid back to the north
wind. The severity of the weather,
however, usually stops all such work
before Christmas. What the men do
when they retire to winter quarters
can not tell but Cinnamon have a
curious alternating faculty, whereby
by abstaining from muscular exertion
they are able to economic considerably
in their eating. In times of scarcity,
when wages fall below certain range,
poor people sometimes choose not to
work, because they consider that they
would have to take more food to repair
the waste than the work done would
produce. -Macmillan's.

VICTIM OF APPEARANCES.
Running for Doctor at Night and shos
by Policeman.

Running for Doctor at Night and shot
by Policeman.
Talk about ill-luck, said Elmer L.
Fustace, according to the Globe Demo
c,af man is lucky nowadays if he isn't
killed by i'll luck.
Il was chased two blocks by an OIL
Ger and shot when I really did not
know what for at all.
1T was in Pittsburg, some seven
years ago, that my wife woke me up
one night and said that our little boy
was very sick and would go for doc.
tor. [ said of course l would, and
slipping into my clothes I grabbed my
hat and started out. J..
when I reached the first corner l
passed stranger who was running the
other way. I cut diagonally across the
street and ran towards the centre OF
the town.
Pretty soon I heard footsteps some
distance back and then several shots
were fired. I felt as though some one
had thrown stone and struck me on
the leg, but I couldn't run any more
worth a cent. I stumbled down, and
then drawing myself up put my hand
where I felt the pain and found that
my leg was moist with blood. l easily
realized that I was shot. The posses
sor of the revolver drew up before me,
painting for breath, and exclaimed:
You will rob people, will you? 1t
was policeman.
Il began to upbraid him most thor
oughly. Explanations nor excavations
did not help the matter any, and 1 was
taken in patrol to the station.
Il repeated my story, and insisted
that a doctor should be sent to my
house. The desk sergeant finally did
as I wished, and our family doctor
called at the house, and later came by
the station. It did not take me long
to convince the station officers that I
was not the party, and was set at lib
erty and removed to my home.
When 1 was able to get around again
sued the city for $4,000 and got it.
The point is, however, just this, that
man is never certain but that he may
walk blindly into a predicament and
have web of circumstances thrown
about him much as fly buzzes into
spiders Web.

Accepting the Inevitable.

Few people have the courage or
philosophy to join in laugh at their
own expense, particularly where per-
sonal peculiarities are concerned. Tie
Duches of Orleans, mother of the Re-
gent of Orleans, who governed France
during the minority of Louis XIV, was
remarkable in this respect, Aware of
the fact that she was not merely plain,
but positively ugly, she resolved to
make the best of it, and dismiss self
consciousness as far as possible But
l never liked people to look at me at
tentively, she wrote, land tried to
avoid notice. paid little attention to
dress, because diamonds and dress were
sure to attract attention. On great
days my husband used to make me
rouge, which I did greatly against my
will, as I hate everything that incom-
modes me. One day ! made the Coun-
tess Sessions laugh heartily. She asked
me why never turned my head when
ever l passed before a mirror-eyery-
body else did. I answered, because [
had too much self-love to bear the sight
of my own ugliness. 1 must have been
very ugly in my youth. I had no sort
of features !; with little twinkling eyes,
a short. snub nose, and long, thick lips,
the whole of my physiognomy was far
from attractive. Except for the good
ness of my disposition, no one would
have endured me. Perhaps there WAS not
on the face of the earth such another
pair of ugly hands as niue. The king
often told me SO, and set me laughing
about it !; for as was quite sure of be-
ing very ugly I made up my mind to
be always the first to laugh at it. This
succeeded very well, though l must
confess it furnished me with a good
stock of material for laughter"

A Surprise PARTY,

He was a comfortable looking, mid.
dle-aged man searching for boarding
place, and he struck one that was just
started, and was the first inspector to
ascend the druggeted steps.
A neat maid answered his summons.
This was surprise number one.
He was shown into a cosey parlor
where CRATE fire was burning.
This was surprise number two.
There was an open piano on which
some classic music was displayed.
There were also some new books on
the centre table.
This was surprise number three.
In a moment the mistress of the
house entered. She was young, we'll
dressed, and did not greet the stranger
with commercial smile.
This was surprise number four
The gentleman explained his wish
to become a boarder, and soon the
landlady showed him room which
was comfortably and substantially fur
nished.
This was surprise number five.
He remarked to the lady:
This room is not elegantly fur
nished. 1t looks like home.
Did I advertise elegantly furnished
rooms?" asked the lady anxiously.
No. That's why I came. I think
now there is nothing but the meals.
May ask if you have cabinet pudding
often?"
Never, sir
Nor molasses pie?'
Il never heard of it,
This was surprise number six. It
was almost a shock.
Madam" said the new boarder, u
am well-to do and can give you good
references. I perceive by your dress
that you are widow Let me be your
only boarder for life I am a single
man"
This was rather in the nature of a
surprise to the widow, and she asked
time to think of it, but wedding in
the near future is foregone conclu.

HIS NARROW ESCAPE,
The Train Was stopped in Time to Avert a
Disaster.

The Train Was stopped in Time to Avert a
Disaster.
He had just boarded Fourth street
car when his face turned ashen gray,
and, with choking sound in his throat.
he clutched at his inside pocket, leaped
from the platform to the street with a
cry of Stop thai train Stop that
train r and darted down Central ave-
nue. like maniac. overturning ban
ana stand, knocking down small news
boy and eluding the clutch of vigilant
policeman who pursued him on a run
with q roar of Stop, thief, stop! = says
the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
Stop that train T. he yelled to the
elevator boy as he sprung through the
entrance of the Grand Central, tripped
over the rubber mat and rolled head
long into the waiting-room.
Stop that train, for heavens sake !"
he screamed, as he jumped down the
stairs in mad leaps, crushed woman s
bonnet box and knocked the breath out
of Cleveland travelling man in his
furious fight.
Will no one stop that train q he
walled. as he fought with the turnstile
tender at the gate, and, at last, hurting
him back against the grating, plunged
through the gate and ran down the
shed on the wings of the wind, waving
a parcel over his head in despairing
appeal to the brakeman on the rear
platform of the fast disappearing New
York vestibule limited.
Stop that train, for the sake of all
that's holy! !" he howled, as he butted
a truckman in the stomach and upset a
tram of fifteen Saratogas. Stop that
train I" shouted the trainmen in the
shed. Stop that train = whooped the
passengers from the windows of the
other cars along the way. Stop that
train T. shrieked the dishevelled and
terror stricken man, pallid with fear.
Stop that train y
With grinding of wheels far out in
the yards and a snort of steam the en-
CINE stopped the conductor leaped to
the ground and ran back, pale with
anxiety, to the spot the porter climbed
half way out of the window with start
ling eyes; and the breathless man,
darling up to the car, hung gaspingly
to the rail as he handed to the brake
man package, and choked:
Please hand them to Mary-they re
her curtin irons-she would a skinned
me alive eff I'd forgot en-
As the train rounded the last turn of
the old canal bed a brakeman, with
face like a thunder cloud, passed
through the coaches solicitously inquir-
ing for Mary.

CHINESE JUSTICE.



Queer.
The crooked ways of the Chinese
justice are strikingly exemplifed by
some cases recorded in the Pekin Ga
zeHe
In one commandant at Oh 'ingchow,
having reason to suspect that some
wanton acts of mischief done to his
roof were due to the spite of mis-
guided clerk, he told one of his cor
porals that the man was "sorcerer.
The record of proceedings in the Chi
nese courts goes on gravely to say that
the corporal thereupon went out and
had fight with the clerk and after
wards laid against him a complaint of
sorcery. The commandant then al,
ranged with the corporal that the latter
should accuse the clerk not only of
practising witchcraft, but of having
asked assistance in assassinating the
commandant. Afraid to refuse favor
of his superior, the young man obeyed,
and convenient witness was duly pro-
vided. The civil authorities apparently
had their doubts, and the case was re-
moved to higher court. Then the
corporal became frightened lest his
share in the conspiracy should come
out, and went to see the commandant.
Being refused admittance, he threat
ened to expose the whole matter and
so alarmed was the commandant at the
threat that he straightway shot himself.
1t is at this point, as one commenta-
tor has remarked, that the peculiarly
of Chinese justice comes in, - for no
sooner did the authorities hear of the
commandments suicide than they SEN
fenced the unhappy corporal to death
by strangulation for comprising" his
superior's self murder !

The Apple I'm Legend and Fable.

There are few myths which play so
conspicuous role in fable and story
as the apple. 1t shone golden in the
garden of the Hesperides. Aphrodite,
like Eve, held it in her hand, and the
serpent and the dragon mounted guard
over it. Solomon sang its praises, and
in Arab story it is the fruit of healing.
Odyasseus yearned for it in the garden
of Alkinoos, and Tantalus strove vainlv
to reach it in Hades and the Edda
tells US that Idursa, the Goddess OF
Virtue, treasured apples, the gifts OF
the gods, of such wondrous virtue that,
as age approached, she Lad only to taste
them to renew her youth. Thus she
secured perpetual youth, until Ray
noroks proclaimed universal annihila-
ton. In many a northern story the
golden bird seeks the golden apple in
the kings garden, and when the tree is
reached and found bare of fruit, does
not Frau Bertha tell her love that it
was because of mouse that gnawed at
the roots ? In the mythology of the
north, the apple is ofttimes the tempter,
and occasionally makes the nose grow
SO prodigioLsly that nothing but pear
will suffice to bring it once more into
presentable shape.
