A Miser's Last wish.

The Vienna correspondent of the Lon
don News tells the following story of q
Rumanian miser: "a Greek died in the
small town Of Caracal, having always
lived on the aims Of his compstriots.
Before dying he made his wife swear
that she would bury him in the dirty old
overcoat which no wore every day. The
poor woman had to ask the Greeks Of
Caracal to help her to provide the costs
Of the funeral. A good hearted Greek
went to see her In her afiiiction, and
pointing to the body said he would give
her better coat to bury the man in.
Then she told him Of the dead mans
last wish. The Greek, whose suspi-
cions were awakened, told her that she
should certainly not part with the body
before she had we'll examined the coat,
tor there must be some particular reason
for the request. The widow unpicked
the lining of the overcoat and found
$1,000 in bank notes which the miser
wished to take to the grave with him.

Ingenious secret Correspondence.

At a recent trial in France it was
shown that the chemist Turpin, who is
undergoing five years imprisonment for
treason, made arrangements with a
friend to carry on secret corresponce,
A letter from the prisoner, giving the
necessary directions to his friends, was
read in court. An official inquiry was
made, and some interesting information
supplied by the convicts, from which it
was shown that when private news was
to be supplied to prisoner, formal
letter apparently containing nothing OF
importance was sent. This being read
by the Governor would be passed on to
the prisoner who, understanding the
missive, and that it was only necessary to
read between the lines written in milk,
he could make this perfectly deciphera-
BILE by rubbing it over with dirty fin
ger or an old slipper. Another ingen-
ious form of secret correspondence con-
sisted of leaving letters out of words. as
if the written were llliterate. The omit

The raising of snails for food purposes

the snail farm that may be established

who is largely interested in the plan to
establish snail farm at Muskego Lake,
near Waukesha. A part Of the invoice
of snails will be kept to be planted on
the farm as an experiment. Captain
Dreher has interested several others in
the deal, and they intend to give the farm
fair trial.

Climate Of the black soil region Of Russia

The BLACKLIST Of Paris TaiiOrs.

In Paris the Tailors' syndicate is pre-
pairing a new edition of their blackbool,
which was originally published II years
ago. The blackbook contains the names
and descriptions of those persons who do
not pay for their clothing. Once man
is inscribed in it he is unable to obtain
clothing at any establishment unless he
is prepared to pay cash before delivery.
The work in question contains num-
ber of curious details with regard to the
delinquents abhorred of tailordom.
Among them are 254 tradesmen and only
concierge; 1875 commercial travellers to
2 priests and antiquaries; 94 students to
8 translators, 3 hairdressers, 3 walters
and 3 house painters; 81 pubhcans, and,
curiously enough, precisely the same
number of journalists and men of letters;
70 professors, 80 engineers, 46 artists, 40
actors, 40 servants or walters, 81 drug
gists, SO financiers, 33 architects, 81 doc
tors, 81 jewelers., "a workingmen, 16
musicians, IA persons of independent
means, 10 bookmakers, sculptors, /
Egyptologist, ex-mayor and negro"
Even as it is, with the aid of the infor-
nation given in this book, it is said that
the Partisan tailors are cheated out Of
from 2 to per cent. of the money due
to them.-Paris Letter.

Anointed the bridegroom.

There is row in the fire department.
1t grew out of joke played upon one of
the paid men attached to Hose II, who
was to be married last night.
Before dressing for the ceremony he
went to the bathroom to have bath.
The boys had previously removed the
lock from the door, and when he got in
to the tank they made their appearance
and gave him a liberal painting with
ointment used on horses hoofs. His
body was smeared with the sticky stuff,
and then he was scrubbed down with
brushes and water.
A neighboring druggist was applied to,
who recommended oil to remove the
stuff. This only set the ointment all the
harder, and the victim had to don his
clothes and go to his wedding with his
unique adornment.
No formal complaint has yet been
lodged at headquarters, but one will be
when the honeymoon is terminated

Preachers and whiskers.

Whiskers was the chief subject of dis
cussion at a rather informal meeting of
the Ministers alliance yesterday morn
ing. When DR.. Armstrong appeared
with freshly shaven upper lip and q
face as devoid of hirsute adornment as a
new born babes, the subject was found,
and he was promptly called upon to ad-
dress the alliance upon the Rise and
Fall of the Mustache." DR.. Armstrong
told how he had cut off his mustache
and nearly scared his little ones to death.
Upon being questioned he admitted that
the operation was performed late Sum
day night, but said that it was done for
the good of his congregation and for the
improvement of his voice. He wanted
the word of God to proceed from the
mouth clear and plain and distinct, un-
hindered by any obstruction. He closed
his remarks by saying that he had sac
rificed his beauty for the benefit of his
congregation, and that he was aware
that the more his face was covered the
better looking he was.
DR.. Tigert responded with fervent
"That's So" and DIR. Armstrong came
back at him by saying he had already
been mistaken for DR.. Tigert.
DR.. Haley said he thought all ministers
should either be smooth shaven or wear
full beard. The doctor himself sup
ports very luxuriant beard, slightly
tinged with gray, and it was thought that
his opinion might therefore be biased.
He urged all young ministers to shun
the alluring mustache unless backed up
with crop of chin whiskers. A mus
tache, hesaid, looked unclerical.-Kansas
