A Case of Genuine Self-Forgetfulness in q
Generous Action.

Case of Genuine Self-Forgetfulness in a
Generous Action.
Genuine self-forgetfulness in gener-
GUS action is always admirable An an
ecdote of such a deed, unique in its
way, has recently been told A gentle
man whose veracity cannot be i'm
peached relates the incident. Nearly
all Australian snakes are vcnomous,
Some authorities even go SO far as to de-
clare there are no non-venomous snakes
in the great island.
A young lady Of high social position,
whose home is at Brisbane, was walk
ing in the garden one day, when she
saw laborer employed on her fathers
grounds just ahead of her. When
within few feet of the man she was
Mortified to see a small but exceedingly
vcnomous snake dart its ugly length
from bush which the fellow was pass
ing, and fix its fangs in his bare arm.
The young lady uttered cry of
alarm, ran forward and hit the reptile
a stunning blow with her parasol han
die, and then, without a moments de-
lay, produced her penknife, opened it,
and cut cross through the wound
made by the snakes fangs. She next
applied her lips to the wound and
sucked out the poison.
The man was but laborer and his
arm was not overclean, but the noble
young woman did not stop to think of
that. She knew what to do, and with.
out squeamishness she did it, and saved
the mans life.
''The heroine of this incident is now
my wife," concluded the narrator, ''and
it was the story of her bravery which
first attracted my attention to her.

He Was onto Her Game.

A few evenings ago a gentleman
stepped from a train at one of the Lon
don stations, when a young lady
skipped up to him, threw her arms
rapturously about his neck and kissed
him many times, saying:
s'oh, papa, I'm SO glad you have
come!"
The old gentleman threw both arms
around her and held her firmly to his
breast. Soon she looked up into his
face, and horror stood in her eye.
"Oh, my, you're not my papa!' sho
said, trying to free herself from his en-
brace.
"Yes, am," insisted the old gentle
man, holding her tightly; "you are my
long-lost daughter, and am going to
keep you in my arms till get police
man"
When the officer came he found the
old gentleman's diamond pin in the
girls hand. Once Week.

IN THE GERMAN VILLAGE.


seen the fair, but if he departs without
having turned his steps westward
through that wonderful avenue of mys.
teries and dropped in on the queer peo-
pie of all lands, he will find himself
sadly deficient in information whom
his friends in his distant home inquire
about the sights of the Plaisance OF
which they have read so much.
While embraced in the general plau
OF the fair and considered part and
parcel thereof, the enterprises of the
Plaisance are private, and partake
somewhat of the nature of side-shows.
Each one has a fixed price of admission,
which of itself is but a mere trifle, but
when once within the gates the cost OF
entering is apt to be largely increased
if check is not placed upon ones ap-
petite for viands and drinks of all
kinds, and if this desire to possess the
curious and beautiful souvenirs on sale
is not promptly curbed.
The first thing that strikes the eve or
the left on entering the Plaisance from
the fair ground is the picturesque Blar.
ney castle and its surrounding cottages
which compose the interesting Irish in
dustrial exhibit, presided over by Lady
Aberdeen. This is the only enterprise
in the Midway Plaisance not operated
and promoted for private gain. The
profits accruing from this exhibit &c
into fund created for the purpose o1
making the people of Ireland self-sus
tanning and for removing the taint oi
poverty from. the Emerald isle. It is q
worthy enterprise, and presents some
very interesting and entertaining fea
lures, among them being the celebrated
B]arney stone, which is set in an ex
act reproduction of the historic castle.
The entrance to the village is q gen

town eating house here, and they mean
that total stranger has had a hearty
meal, can't pay for the same, and the
proprietor is willing to accept his
promise to settle the bill some future
time. In any other place the man
would be looked upon as dead beat
and either kicked out or turned over to
the police. Here he is treated like a
gentleman and put on his honor. A re-
porter went in. ate fifty cents worth of
well cooked food, took his check to the
cashier and said:
"I'm dead broke to-day"
"What name, please?" he asked.
John Smith,
Every well; come in any time; glad
to see you. Good day."
He recorded name, date and amount
and the reporter departed. Three days
later he called to pay. He did not
look at all surprised as he hunted out
the slip and made change Indeed, it
was just what he expected, for ten
years experience had taught him that

a mere trifle. The proprietor of the

Regularly every day, at stated inter
walls OF about two hours, may be heard
the plaintive wall of the muezzin who
from his lofty perch on the mosque
