There is a little Noahs ark, with painted

didn't he take these?
The little girl who died last night what can
she be to him?
For Death is pictured black and stern, and
And she knew nothing of such things, for she
was bright and fair,
And sweet and tender as the smile that angel

A Barber Talks of Boards.

"Most men," said the learned French
barber to N. Y. iSWas reporter, ~im-
agine that they can control the direc-
ton in which their boards grow by
shaving. That is absurd. If you will
take a microscope and examine the
face of baby a week old you will see
that the cheeks and chin are covered
with very fine, sofkhairs. invisible to
the naked eye. The direction in which
they turn will never be changed. If
the child is male those hairs will
constitute the beard when it grows to
be man. If it is of the other sex
they will make the down which the
poets praise. Frequently men come to
me and express desire to have the
shape of their boards altered by chang-
ing the direction IN which the hairs
grow. To all these say only:
"'Messieurs, what you ask cannot
be. All the curling irons and razors
in the world are powerless against the
decree of nature. Moreover, it would
be foolish for you to make such a
change even though it were possible.
Nature is good artist, and if her
ideas are followed the result is always
good. A little training here or there
may be beneficial, but the general
plan of nature should be followed and
not opposed. Be thankful messieurs,
that you have boards, and do not try
to ruin Them So, too, tell those
with straight boards who wish to
make them curly and those with cur
ly boards who wish to have them
straight. It is possible to curl straight
hair and also to straighten curly hair.
but the effect is temporary and more or
less Injurious.

Life Grows Topsy-Turvy.

At the last election in New Mexico a
woman inquired of a group of men if
the polling-places were to be found in
a certain building. care you going to
vote?" they asked. mo, 1 am only
going to swear in the judges so that
the rest of you can vote" The wo-
man was Mrs. Flora Ellis Stevens, no.
tary public of Chama, who has for
several years administered the oath of
office to all the Election and Returning
Boards, precinct officers, etc, and who
recently swore in her own husband as
Justice of the Peace. Things are get
ting very topsy-turvy in this age of
transition. This woman might not
vote, yet the votes of men could not
be legally counted unless she gave
authority to the officials.

ANY WEAPON WOULD DO.
But the Other Man Concluded that He
Had Business Elsewhere.

One of the men who figured con-
spicuously in the pioneer days of Me-
braska was Colonel Peter A. Sarpy, a
distinguished Indian trader and a
member of the famous American Fur
Company. An old settler tells the
following story in the N. 7. Herald
about this eccentric pioneer:
Colonel Sarpy preferred the free
dom of prairies to the society of civil
lied life and spent great deal of his
time in visiting Omaha wigwams near
the old trading posts. He was regard
ed by the Omahas as their Nekagahhe
or big chief. In fact he married an
Omaha woman, Nakoma, to whose in
tercessions he was more than once
indebted for the preservation of his
life when attacked by Indians.
One night crowd of frontiersmen
were gathered in the store of Colonel
Sarpy and the conversation turned
upon the treatment of the Indians.
Sarpy portrayed in glowing colors
the ncble traits of the red man and the
injustice heaped upon them by the
whites.
A tall, gaunt-looking specimen over
in the corner, who was busily engaged
in whiting, listened with consider
able interest. He suddenly looked up
| and interrupted the speaker.
"This yere talk about the Indians as
good and brave and intelligent may
suit your traders who have been swap
ping gewgaws for their valuable buf-
falo robes and stealing their annuities,
but l have lived among them. too,
want you to understand, and Pn be
hanged if they are not lying, thiev-
ing race of dogs, who don't know the
difference between right and wrong.
The sooner they are killed off the bet
ter it will be for the country.
This was too much for Sarpy. He
advanced to the front of the speaker
and interrupted him in an excited
manner. "Do you know who l am,
sir?" he asked with considerable
emphasis. 81 am Peter A. Sarpy, sir
If you want to fight, sir, l am youl
man, sir! l can whip the devil, sir
Choose your weapons, sir! Bowie
knife, shot gun or revolver, sir! I'm
your man, STRIP
Here the speaker, by way of empha
sis to his remarks, snapped his pistol
at the lighted candle on the table
about three PAGES away, and all were
left in total darkness. The stranger
availed himself of this opportunity tt
make his exit by the side door, bein2
unwilling to serve as a target for th'
unerring marksman who would prob
ably have extinguisned him in sim
liar manner.

HER HUSBANDS FILTRATION.
Tt Turned Out to Be Harmless Affair
After ALI.


Mrs. Bellefeld is very jealous of her
husband, says the Pittsburg Chronicle
Telegraph, and her friends know of her
falling. One of them had little fun
at her expense the other day in conse-
of an afternoon call Mrs. Dukane said
to her:
"Oh, by the way, I saw your hus-
band today at the church dinner at
the old post office"
"YesP He seemed to be enjoying
himself, I supposed"
"He did, indeed. Was he never in
love with Miss Dinwiddie before he
married you?"
"I'm sure l don't know, but it's quite
likely. Was she at the dinner today?"
Eyes, and / saw her bend toward
your husband and say something in a
confidential, low voice"
"You didn't catch any of the CONVEX
sation?"
"No."
Mrs. Dukane took her departure and
Mrs. Bellefeld waited impatfently for
her husbands return home that even
ing.
"Oh, you shameless mani" she ex-
claimed, as he took off his overcoat
and hung it on the hall rack.
@What's the matter now?" he asked
in deep surprise.
"There you are, putting on an inno-
cent face, as if the whole town wasn't
talking about your firtations with the
Dinwiddie girl"
"Flirtations!' he repeated in dazed
sort of way.
Eyes, firtations. Now don't pre-
tend she wasn't at the old post Office
today when you got your dinner"
"Yes, she was there"
"Oh, you'll admit that much, will
youp"
Certainly"
"Then what were you and she talk
ing so confidentially aboutP"
"We weren't talking confidentially. +"
Il suppose she didn't even speak to
you?"
"Yes, she did,"
@Ah! Now I've got you. Tell me
what she saidI"
@She was one of the mattresses and
she asked me if / would take coffee OF
tea"

Paradise for the Pine smoker.

In Washington man may place his
good old brier pipe in his shapely
mouth and walk around smoking. ac-
cording to the dictates of his own con-
science, none daring to make him
afraid. 1t is not SO in all parts OF the
country. There are places where such
conduct would cause him to be ostra-
cized by society. There has long been
a deep-rooted prejudice against the
pipe; man might appear in public
smoking cigar that would cause
horses to swoon three blocks away and
nobody would say anything, but if he
smoked pipe on the street his social
doom was sealed. Reason, however,
has resumed its majestic sway. leveled
the barriers of superstition, and con-
quered the armed hosts of prejudice,
and as result the man who smokes is
happy Washington Star.

pidn,t Fade in the wash.

We had stopped the wagon to let
the horse drink at the creek crossing
the highway when woman rode up
from the other way on mule. She
had bride made of old rope and no
saddle at all, and was riding man
fashion. Behind her'was bag of corn
for the mill and in. front four live
chickens on the port side of the mule
to balance gallon jug on the star
board. 1t was queer-looking outfit
taken altogether, and as the woman
crossed the creek and rode past us the
mule brayed, the chickens squawked
and the bag of corn tried to fall off
backward. Each of us gave her
"howd'y" as she passed, and she kept
her nerve fairly well. Two miles the
other side of the creek we came to

Prince George and the Bluetacket.

When Prince George, duke of York,
had the independent command of the
Thrush, on the West Indian station, it
fell to his lot to have to convey, as
prisoner, a young bluejacket belong
ing to another ship, who had been hith-
erto constant offender and continu-
ally on the blacklist. From his de-
meanor, however, and by close obser-
vation of him, Prince George came to
the conclusion that there were many
seeds of good in the man and the MAX
ing of better career and secured his
transfer to the Thrush. He had the
man brought aft before him on the
quarterback and spoke to him as prob
ably he had never been spoken to be-
fore. He told him that he was heHce-
forth transferred to the Thrush; that
as commanding officer he put him in
the first class for leave and gave him
a clean sheet as regards his pastsof-
fenses.
81 do not ask you to make me any
promise as to your future behavior. I
trust to your honor and good feeling
alone. But remember that, by the
rules of the service, if you offend again
in any way, or break your leave, I
have no option, but am bound to put
you straight back again to that class
from which now remove you. Your
future is in your own hands. You
have had no leave for twelve months
Go ashore now with the other special
leave men. Yourpav has been stopped.
and no money is due to you. Here is
a sovereign. l trust to you not to
misspend it. You know as well as
do what you may do and what you
may not do. God help you to do the
right and keep you from wrong"
The man was completely overcome.
He of course answered nothing, but
saluted and then marched forward
again. His commanding officers con-
fidence was not misplaced. During
the rest of the Thrush's commission he
was never once an offender, but showed
himself as active, willing and smart
hand as any in the ship, and after
working hours he was the life of the
forecastle. In the ship in which he
has subsequently served he has main
tanned his good conduct and attained
a petty officers rating.

FRENCH COOKERY,
How That Nation Became Celebrated ir
 Culinary Way.

How That Nation Became Celebrated ir Culinary Way.
 In France cookery took new de parture under Louis XIV, who had Cir his younger days at least) prodigiou appetite. ''I have often," writes Mime de Baviare, ''seen the king eat fom plates Of different soups, a whole pheasant, a partridge, large plate of salad, two good slices of ham, plate Of pastry, and then he helped more than once to fruits and sweetmeats" The expenses of the royal kitchen in those days were almost fabulous, and the courticrs seem to have vied with the king in the extravaganza of their bou- quets, says a writer in Blackwood's Magazine.
 Some of the most famous sauces, such as Bechamel and Soubise, date from this reign; and one of Mime. de Sevigne's most eloquent letters describes how Vatel, the prince of Condos cook, killed himself in despair at the nonarrival of the fish. on which he had been depend ing-a contretemps which modern fe- male cook would probably be more likely to accentuate by first going into mysteries and then spelling the rest of the dinner.
 Louis XV. inherited his grandfather's taste, if not his appetite; and his petits soupers, tables volantes, and silver kitchen apparatus are all historical. 1t was he, too, who first gave the dis tinction of cordon bleu to female coob-for this title, the blue ribbon of the kitchen, is never properly applied but to a chef. It was on the occasion Of . dinner of suPcrlative excellence be- ing served up by an unknown artist. Come, now, France" said Mime. Du- barry; ''I demand a reward worthy of your majesty. You have made my negro a governor, and I cannot accept less than a cordon bleu for my cuisi- niere"
 In the next reign came the revolution, and there seemed some danger of the science of cookery being swept away with the nobles and chefs of the old regime; but it survived the storm, and gained fresh life and vitality under the republic and the empire. Napoleon himself was no great epicure, eating hurriedly at all times, and whenever his appetite prompted him; but his chancellor, Cambaceres, kept splendid table, and was fortunate in having the llustrious Careme as his chef de cuisine.

BETRAYED BY HIS HABITS.

A Thief Who Was Fond Of Eggs Is Dis
 covered in a Curious Way.
 A theft has just been brought home to man by means of an egg. Some days ago, says the Galignani Messen- ger, NJ. Douet, pottery manufacturer, living in the Rue Goudon, Paris, was disagreeably surprised on returning from the theater with his family to find that his house had been ransacked, al- most all the furniture destroyed, and sum of six thousand francs in gold and notes stolen. The next morning he put Nj. SiadouX, commissary of police, in possession of these facts, who thereup- on proceeded to the spot and opened an inquiry. In the course of his search he found broken egg, from which the white only appeared to have been sucked. He brought the circumstance to the notice of NJ. Douet, who then re- membcred that carter named Delbars, whom he had dismissed for dirty habits, wG5 accustomed to eat eggs in this way. They arrested him along with his brother. When questioned as to how and where they had spent their time on the night of the robbery they were em- barrassed, and finally confessed that they had broken into NJ. Douct's house for motives of revenge.

A Dangerous Proceeding.

' A workman at the Davenport Ga. ) gas works concluded the other day that he would electrocute a troublesome eat He placed the feline in a tub of water and turned on the current. It was found that the tub had to be moved slightly, and while moving it the execu- tioner got his finger in the water and nearly electroeuted himself. After he was brought to, with a desire for venge- ance, he renewed the experiment. There was no hitch in the proceedings this time, for just as the cat opened its mouth for the forty-ninth yell after it had been placed in the tub, the current was turned on and it died with its mouth open.
