The two men spoke simultaneously and

Dernhardt's Fads.

One of the notable oddities OF charac-
ter that distinguish Sarah Bernhardt is
her love Of making pets OF all manner of
queer beasts and reptiles, such as would
give the ordinary woman cold chills. 1t
is an asp, or an alligator, or "a horned toad
that she takes to her bosom and lavishes
her sweetest caresses upon, and the Wis.,
itor to her boudoir il almost sure to get
a succession of short, sharp shocks from
stumbling in dark corners across all
sorts of horrid little beasts. Her fancy
changes much, and on a foreign trip she
is sure TO pick up half q dozen new afro
cities, 30 that her menagerie is looked for
on her return with interest second only
to that bestowed on her divine self. Her
recent tour in South America was ex-
pected to be productive Of q whole reti-
nue. Of new horrors, but her fancy took
a new turn. She got back to Paris two
or three weeks ago, and her menagerie
accompanied her, but it consisted only
Of three little pumas, 10 monkeys Of va
ried degrees Of hairy ugliness, and an
aviary Of 800 or 80 different birds.-Ex-
change.

Prince and station Master.

Thcdcath of Mr.. Henry Farnham, who
vas for many years station master at
Takeley, one Of tho village stations on
tho Great Eastern Railway company's
Whitman, Braintreo and Bishops Stort-
ford branch line, recalls nh amusing in
cidcnt in winch tho Prince Of Wales
played a leading part. A few years ago
the prince and u party Of distinguished
guests alighted at Takeley for tho pur-
pose Of visiting Lord and Lady Brooke
ut Easton Lodge, Essex. BY some
means tho Prince Of Wales became dc.
tached from the rest Of the party, and
did not reach the barrier until q few
minutes after the others had passed.
Mr.. Farnham was doing duty as ticket
collector, and not then knowing the
prince ho promptly ~accosted him with
"Ticket, please"
The prince mentioned that he was ono
Of Lord Brooke's party. Tho station
master was not, however, satisfied with
the statement, and ho firmly refused to
allow his royal highness to pass unless
he produced u ticket or furnished his
name and address. satisfactory expla-
nations were eventually forthcoming,
and tho prince was permitted to rejoin
the party. Though somewhat embar.
raised when he learned the princes iden-
tity, the station master was not greatly
pcrturbcd. Indeed ho received the in
telligence with the philosophical ques-
ton, why didn't he tell me that he
was the Prince of Walesl" His royal
highness heartily enjoyed tho incident.
His royal highness seldom visits Easton
Lodge without being reminded jocularly
Of his attempt TO ride without u ticket.

KpgIihh Hatred OF GIadatone,

The hatred Of Gladstone is almost uni.
versal among the upper and upper mid
die classes in England. This hatred,
too, finds expression in a violence OF
language which is seldom met with In
any country except during a period Of
revolution or civil war, and has long
been banished from English social and
political life. One hears him in the best
circles treated as an old villain, for
whom capital punishment would be too
good, and frantic desire for his death is
openly uttered, That &c. o. NJ" stands
for Gods Only Mistake" is one Of tho
grim jokes of tho Conservative clubs,
and old ladies will avow their willing
ness to walk miles with peas in their
shoes to see him hanged. Stories OF his
abandoned profligacy are of course not
generally told in public, the subject be-
ing a delicate one, but they are q very
prominent part Of the Gladstone legend
