\ SUNDAY EVENING BURGLARY.

while Frank Lewis Was 1t Church His
House Was Robbed.
The residence Of Frank P. Lewis, ct COL
University street, was burglarized last
evening and $50 IN cash, besides articles of
minor value, was taken.
When Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis returned from
church about 8 O'CLOCK, they we're sur
prised to find the curtains all down and
the house within all lighted up. The cause
Of all this was apparent. A side door had
been pried open and the house ransacked
from top to bottom. Bureau drawers had
been pulled out and articles of all descrip-
tions thrown about the floor. The main
object seemed to be money, and the
burglars' desire was satisfied to some ex-
tent by the finding of $50, which Mr..
Lewis had left in his room.
There is reason to believe that the bur-
glars were surprised in their work, a. q
chisel, used in prying open the door. was
left behind. The police were notified, and
have the case under consideration.

How Innr Man ninr live.

comes to maturity quickly peishes' and

the sooner bodily decay ensucs. More wom-

The janitor had an old friend who was
pantryman on one of the Old Dominion

the ianitor was out. Hewas disappoint-
ed because the steamer he worked on
sailed the next day Saturday, and he
told me there was a storm brewing and
he was afraid Of a rough passage.
Sunday morning l got my breakfast,
went out and got a paper and then went
down into the engine room in the base
ment. sat there talking to the fireman
perhaps 10 or 20 minutes. All this time
the front iron doors were locked and the
key in my pocket
At once we heard the front door above
thrown violently open, and it seemed as
if O hundred people came rushing in on
hemain Office floor. The fireman jumped
up and exclaimed, Crank what the
devil is thatg' listened a moment and
somebody up stairs screamed; ''My God!
My Godl We are lostl We are lostp
We were both pretty well frightened,
but we rushed up stairs and found every
thing as quist as the grave not a soul in
sight and the front doors locked as / had
left them.
The next morning when l looked in
the paper what should / see on the first
page but an account of a shipwreck, and
it was the very same ship that the poor
pantryman did not wish to sail on the
Saturday before. His name was among
the lost. Now can any one explain what
it was heard that Sunday?-Cor. New

Teocl,inr uorses Lesson.

Teaching q new horse to come out OF
his stall at the fire alarm signal and
range himself alongside the pole is not
80 difficult as might be supposed.
Imagine n pair of new horses assigned
TO an engine. The surroundings are more
OF less terrible to them, but they are
very gently and carefully handled and
gradually lose their fear. Their tuition
begins at once, and the driver is their
teacher, assisted by the other men.
The ordinary signal is given, as if for
a FIRE. The stall doors open, and the
horses are led out put in position, and
in few minutes led back This process
Is perhaps a dozen times repeated. Great
pains are taken that the animals shall
not strike against anything, or be by any
means frightened.
The unusual spectacle Of harness sus-
pended in air is apt to disturb them at
first, but they are led slowly up TO itand
induced to smell of it and inspect it on
all sides
After they have been led to their posi-
tions a few times they are allowed to
come of their own accord when the sig
nal strikes. though a man stands behind
them TO touch them up little if they do
not start promptly at the opening Of the
doors. Two weeks constitute the aver
age periodof instruction, but horses have
been known 90 learn in one lesson. 9th
ers, however. are months in arriving at

Nerve Jarrinr Jocularitics.

There is nothing in the world which
produces the sense of mental nausea
more completely, or is more certain TO
turn the intellectual stomach, than the
use of certain jocularities Of speech with
which many people think ft TO adorn
their conversation. The people who
seem TO find it impossible TO speak of an
unmarried man except as "a gay bach
elor." with whom the sea is always "the
briny" or the herring pond" and a
horse "a fiery steed," who eternally talk
about "Sunday-go-to-meeting' clothes,
and who have such phrases as 'no extra
charge" "agitate the tintinnabulator,
''tho noxious weed, "the pipe of peace"
40 winks, and "braving the elements
forever on their lips, are capable of pro-
ducing sense of disgust in those who
care TO see language kept bright and
clean which is absolutely intolerable.
It is difficult to say whether these cant
phrases-that is, a perfectly proper de-
scription of them-are more odious when
used consciously or unconsciously that
