A Mania for Decorations.

There are Frenchmen, according to M.
Simon, who collect decorations just as
others collect postage stamps. In GER
tain official positions it appears the one
thing IS hardly more difficult than the
other. II knew" he says, 1.-TWO public
officials who had this i~noffensive mania.
One was fat. The chain on which he
hung his medals spread across his ample
chest and struck downward and was lost
to view in his waistcoat pocket, in the
interior of which the imagination pic
tured further honorary insignia. The
other was thin, to his great disgust, and
he could only exhibit some thirty deco
rations in a row. Some one advised him
to wear a double line, just as unruly
cOnvicts wear a double chain. He did
so, and he vas quite right. His breast
was a collection of all the animals of
creation in gold, silver and enamel. It
amused people to look at all this while
he was speaking, and they were very
glad of this little distraction, for he was
an ass."-London News.

A typical Mississippi Steamboat.

The City OF Providence was one Of II
long line of Mississippi boats edging the
broad, clean, sloping levee that fronts
busy St. Louis. She was by far the
largest and handsomest of the packets,
but all are of one type, and that is
worth describing. They are, so far as |
remember, all painted white, and are
very broad and low. Each carries two
tall black tunnels, capped with a bullying
ornamental top, and carrying on rods
swung between the tunnels the trade
mark Of the company cut out of sheet
iron, an anchor or an initial letter, a
fox or a swan, or whatever.
There are three or four stories to these
boats-frst the open main deck for
freight and for the boilers and engines,
then the walled in saloon deck, with a
row of windows and doors cut alternately
close beside one another and with pro-
fuse ornamentation by means of jig saw
work wherever it can be put, and last
of all the Texas" or officers quarters,
and the bureau" or negro passengers
cabin, forming the third story.
Most Of the large boats have the big
square pilot house OF top of the Texas"
but others carry it as part of the third
story in front of the Texas" The pilot
house is always made to look graceful
by means of an upper fringe of jig saw
ornament, and usually carries a deer's
head or pair of antlers in front of it.

The Shape of the Shoe.

Our Puritan fathers wore shoes mod
erately peaked. About 1880 square toes
made their appearance. In the reign of
Mary, who died in 1868, there was a
proclamation issued that no person
should wear shoes over two inches wide
at the toes. Square toes began to lose
favor i'll 1857. In u newspapers from
ZIG to 1875 round toes became more
common, and peaked ones less, accord
ing to descriptions given of shoes on
runaway slaves and servants. From
1877 shoe toes continued in a small pro-
portion and became mostly pointed.
This shape lasted nearly a hundred
years. Square toes began again in 1926,
and in 1886 were succeeded by round
toes. Boston Herald.

Interpreting the Scriptures.

"There is a queer old preacher down
in NV country" said a native born Mary
lander to a party of friends in the Man.
haitian club one evening last week. The
man had just returned from a visit to
his old home after a long absence and
was amusing the company with anec-
dotes.
He is about seventy years old" con-
tinued the speaker, land he has had
little or no education and is utterly in
capable of preaching a sermon. He be-
lieves every word, letter and punctua-
ton mark in the Bible is inspired, and
his method of teaching his flock Is to
read from the Scripture and expound
and explain his reading to the best of his
ability.
"Of course the good old man quite fire.
quently runs up against some passage
most difficult to interpret. His method
of extricating himself, as I have reason
to know, is unique. l was listening to
his exposition of Solomon and all his
glory the other Sunday and wondered
how he was going to do justice to the
great king in the matter of his thousand
odd wives. All of a sudden he came up
on the passage, which he read through
slowly. Then he paused, mopped his
brow and said:
Brethren, we have come across a
difficult passage. Let us, however, not
shirk our duty. We must look the diff
Guilty firmly in the face and pass on to
the next verse And he promptly pro-
ceeded to do so, to the evident satisfac-
ton of his fock."-New York Herald.

A Shocking Organization.

The Liars club is all that its name i'm

fishermen whose improbable stories have
given a bad name to honest, truth tell

about the number of fish they caught
for the world. The biggest liar is chosen
president. and several gentlemen of
prominence in our community have held
the office.-New York Times.

\ Description of the Heart,

Here is a question and answer of a
high school pupil:
Briefly describe the heart and its func-
tons or work. The heart is a comical
shaped bag. The heart is divided into
several parts by a feshy petition. These
parts are called right artillery, left ar
tilleTy, and so forth. The function of
the heart is between the lungs. The
of the heart is to repair the differ
ent organs in about half a minute.-Miss
a. c. Graham in University Correspond
ent.

MRS. LESLIE SAYS NOTHING.
Neither Denies Nor Affirms That She is
eekin a Divorce.


Mrs Frank Leslie refused to deny or
affirm the report that she had taken
steps to secure a divorce from Willie
Wide.
ut is purely a domestic matter" she
said, and while l am always willing to
discuss questions of public interest, l
prefer you to report me as saying nothing
on the subject of my reported divorce.
The statement has been published that
l declined to take the name of MI. Wilde
until he made it worth something-until
he made a name for himself. That is all
false. l took the name of Mr.. Leslie
after his death at his request. 1t was a
good move from a business standpoint.
After | was married-within a month, in
fact-I applied to tive court of common
pleas for permission to use the name
Frank Leslie. Again it was purely a
business move"

A REAL A STORY.
The Serpent Got Into the Hornets Nest
to Catch the Hornets.

The Serpent Got Into the Hornets Nest
to Catch the Hornets.
w. S. White, of Fredericksburg, Va,
is credited with prOmulgating the follow,
ing story: He claims that while travelling
to Tappahannock he saw a large black
snake crawling among the branches Of a
tree that stood by the roadside. Follow
ing the snake with his eye, the observer
saw an unusually large hornets nest at
taChed to one of the branches of the tree,
and toward which the snake was advanc
ing.
When close to the nest the snake cOiled
Itself about a limb, releasing its tail, and
with it gave several hard raps upon the
exterior of the nest, as if knocking for
admission. The noise of the blows and
the swaying of the nest caused the hOr-
nets TO leave their home and prepare for
an attack upon the intruder. The snake
ceased tapping with its tail as seon as the
hornets left the nest, uncoiled itself, and
quickly disappeared, taking the place of
the hornets within their nest
Presently the snakes head was seen to
peer out, and its bright, black eyes glisten-
ed as he anticipated a feast from which the
bravest man would shrink with fear. The
snake drew his head within the entrance
hole to the nest until nothing was seen
of it except an occasional forked tongue
that darted in and out with lightning ra-
piditY. Thinking the coast clear, the
hornets began to return to their nest,
when the snake took them in as fast as
they would enter. Watching the pro
ceedings for some time, our informant
concluded that the hornets had been
safely hived, and he stood up in his
buggy, tapped the nest with his whip and
awaited the result.
No hornets appearing the nest was
then knocked to the ground, opened,
and his snakeship discovered in a torpid
condition, with his size greatly increased
The snake was killed, and post morton
held, with the following result Stomach
stuffed with dead hornets.
