Asleep While Standing.

On one Of the rainy days recently an
unfortunate tramp received a greal deal
Of attention from the passersby along
Park row. He was a complete and
unique specimen of his kind. He was
standing against a building fast asleep.
The drizzle that was falling blew into
his face, and he was growing wet and
presumably cold, but there he stood
straight up, sound asleep, with his back
against the stone wall. His head would
droop, and those watching him thought
he would fall down, or that his head
would be jerked from his shoulders, but
when his head almost touched his left
shoulder he would straighten up slowly
in his sleep and keep it in position for q
few minutes. Finally SO many small
boys gathered around him that the muir
muir Of their voices awakened him, and
with look Of disgust at those who had
disturbed his slumbers he slowly mean
deEed to some Bowery lodging house to
finish his nap.-New York Times.

How Billiards wore rnxented.

The English are very fond of the curl
GUS game Of billiards, and letter has
been discovered In the British museum
which gives the origin of the national
sport. It was invented by a London
pawnbroker, whose name was William
Kew. Kew not only lent money, but he
sold cloth, and for the latter purpose had
a yard measure, with which he used to
compute the amounts. One day to dis
tract himself he took the three round
balls which are the emblems of his trade
they may still be seen in front of GER
tain shops in London and placing them
on his counter began to hit them about
with the yard measure.
He found it made a pretty game. He
got kind of skill in making one ball
glance off the other, and his friends who
saw him thus employed called the game
Bills yard. Tt was soon shortened into
billiards. But the yardstick was the in
strument with which the balls were
knocked about, and difficulty arose as to
what to call it. They called it after the
name Of the pawnbroker-a Kew.-Paris

It is reported that ammonia is to fur

the chemists may not admit it, but it is
evident enough to laymen that ammonia
is just a smell. "A big, strong smell, to

have harnessed SO elusive thing and

energy which very likely needs super

Nature is enormously effectual, but
she will not work for man unless he

point of view is not mans. She is q
wonderful scavenger, but she is just as
ready to carry off live baby as a dead

cleaning the streets. The more colossal
the odor the harder she is at it. It is
not our way, or ought not to be if it is.
1t is glad thought that now that some
one has found out how to put smells to
work we may hope that presently the

a proper apparatus and made to carry it.

HOME FOR AGED MEN.
What the Managers Say of Worthy
Portland Institution.


At the annual meeting of the managers
of the Home for Aged Men last evening,
the following officers were elected:
President-I. P. Harrington.
Vice Presidents-W. VI. Thomas, w. G. Da-
Secretary-H E. Emery.
Treasurer-AugustuS Cummings.
Auditor-Henry Fox.
Directors-Eben Corey, w. L. Putnam, Geo.
S. Hunt John Sparrow, j. E. Blabon.
The managers, in their annual report,
say: ''Twelve constitute the family.
One has died since the last annual meet
ing, but the others have continued in
fairly good health in spite of a long and
lingering winter and a tardy spring The
government has remained as before. An
efficient matron, a devoted physician and
a practical ladies' committee have aided
the managers in every way, and their in
fuence has been sufficiently contagious
to inspire the inmates with spirit of
good will without which this institution
would not be deserving of the name of
home. The principal donations received
during the year were the Walker, Nc
Lellan and Greenleaf requests. These
gifts demonstrate one fact, that the
Home for Aged Men, quiet and modest
in its operations, is cherished and re-
membered by the men and women whose
thoughts are always turned toward the
worthiest objects of the city.
ssThe list of benefactors includes many
persons. Whenever any particular want
has been made known, it needed but a
slight suggestion to have the deficiency
supplied. An exhibit was desired for
the Columbian Exposition; at once two
gentlemen furnished it. This is cited
Simply to show the feeling displayed.
Such evidences of friendly interest are
of the greatest assistance in carrying out
any plan, and they have been especially
helpful in this quarter.
'sThe invested fund of the Home
amounts to some $4,000, from which
there is fair income. That this fund
may increase is the wish of all concerned,
for in no other way can greater field of
usefulness be opened.
.sFor all helping hands the managers are
extremely grateful in rendering their
thanks once more to the people of this
city; they take this occasion to invite
the passer by when he or she has spare
moment to step inside the home and
have brief chat with the aged men.
The latter appreciate such visits, and
who knows but that the visitor may UNI
Willingly receive reflection of the sum
shine and happiness that he is endeavoring
to bestow."

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
A Night at the Circus.

Dan Rice, the oldest circus clown
alive, and probably the only one who oc-
cupies such space in the heart of the
small hoy, has not yet lost all desire to
wear the pyramidal hat and variegated
trousers. The jolly old soul recently
attended performance of Nellie Nc
Henry's "a Night at the Circus" in New
York, and declared he could no longer
resist the temptation to revive the good
old one-ring circus of othel days where
people could see the show with one pair
of eyes without breaking their necks.
Uncle Dan said he have to take off his
hat to Nellie McHenry. 'sThat's some
thing like it, said he, ''that's the best
show I've seen since Dan Rice quit the
business Nellie McHenry will be at
Portland Theatre this and Saturday
evenings. b
The Man From Boston.
In the part of Capt. Harcourt, in the
play of 1.-THE Man from Boston," Mr..
John u. Sullivan has an opportunity to
show how much advancement he has
made in his dramatic career. The part,
that of a gentleman yacht owner, who
by his quick thought and action at criti-
cal moments proves himself to be the
friend in need who is friend indeed,
calls for quiet, forceful acting, the en-
tire absence of buster or rant being a
marked characteristic. The foot ball
game between Yale and Harvard, the
specialties,. land the realistic pugilistic
encounter between the Boston gladiator
and Dan Dwyer, each contribute an adj
ped interest tog the performance. The
play will be seen at Portland Theatre
Tuesday.

An Epidemic of Color Riots.

In this country there is an epidemic Of
color riots. At least an aesthetic for
eigner pronounces this lack of harmony
in color disease. Take. for example, a
combination which is very stylish, that
of a clear, decided blue and green-not
transparent shade, but a green that is
glaringly bright. There is absolutely no
excuse for such a combination, but it is
one of the caprices of fashion, and fash
ion too often rather than taste or reason

was in sight. He called his son telling
him some one of his young friends had
favored him with an unusually pretty
basket. But the doctor noticed card
addressed to himself on top of the bas-
ket. Then he came to little booklet
containing appropriate verses and names
of the donors, long list of those Of his
parish and some of his friends away.
Soon among the bonbons on top the bas-
ket he came to what he thought was a
big lozenge. 1t was $40 gold piece.
Indeed he soon came to the conclusion all
that the gold hadn't been shipped out Of
the country, for by the time he had got
to the bottom of the basket he had
