81 have been to an eclipse dinner"
said young woman. There were anv
number of them, you know, of course
with the part of Hamlet left out. AT the
one at which assisted three gilt boys
at each end and in the center of the
table held aloft, respectively, in flower
figures, the dates of the last, the present
and the next eclipse. garlands of flowers
passing from one to the other. Atevery
corner lay pretty sketch, showing
earth, moon and sun in space and in the
proper positions to produce the eclipse.
1.-THE ices were served in gilt stars.
The host, who is an enthusiast in as
tronomy, had small telescope mounted
on the roof for use had the night been
clear, and, to be frank, had crammed
all the afternoon to be equal to the occa-
sion. 1t was loves labor lost, however
for we did not even go up to the roof,
messengers being dispatched from time
to time to return with the invariable
cloudy report. But it was great fun,
and everybody laughed when lobster
outlets la totalite were served. New

An Acrobat's Fall.

An act was given at Cordray's audito-
|r;nm performance recently that was not
printed on the programme. Stanley and
Mason do perilous act in midair on the
|trapeze. There are two bars suspended
Inv ropes from the ceiling, one large and
one small. Stanley was on the small
trapeze near the ceiling, and Mason on
tbe lower one. The man on top was
preparing to hang by his legs, let go,
drop, and, falling, catch his partner by
the feet Stanley, who had boil on the
Inside Of his leg, slipped and fell. His
PARTNER could not save him.
Every eye was riveted on the falling
acrobat and every heart stood still. To
the man himself it seemed an age. Ma
son, who was below, as quick as fash
measured the distance, and saw that il
his partner fell in that position nothing
could save his neck from being broken,
so, as Stanley descended, he gave the
falling man quick turn, somewhat
broke the fall, and the performer fell to
the floor with a hard sound and struck
on his back.
A dozen men rushed up the aisle to
pick up the man, and for moment quite
an amount of excitement prevailed. He
was picked up and carried behind the
scenes.
He had fallen twenty five feet, and his
only injury was rough shaking up and
a bruised back. Two minutes later
George Stanley appeared before the foot
lights and bowed. -Seattle Post -Intelli-

The Maid of RatisbOn.

Another political legion is gone. In
France the Maid of Ratisbon. who by
her intrepidity saved whole French
army from destruction during the
Napoleonic wars, has long been believed
in no less implicitly than Joan of Arc or
Jeanne Hachette of Beauvais or the
Maid of Saragossa. General Marriott. in
his memoirs. gives the true version of
the story. After the assault upon Rats
bon, he says, he was in command of a
column which was ordered to occupy a
bridge affording the only line of retro at
for the Austrians. Losing my way
among the streets of the town" he goes
on to say, Il suddenly saw young
woman spring up before me. crying:
Save me. am Frenchwoman.' She
was dressmaker established in business
at Ratisbon. | asked her to show US the
way to the bridge, but as we were still
under fire, she was afraid. Thereupon
| ordered her to be led by the arm at
the head of the column by two grena
diers. She shrieked. but it was of no
use One of the grenadiers was wound
ed in the arm, and the blood spurted
over the poor, terrified woman. She
tainted and had to be carried. Napo-
leon, having heard the story, asked to
see the little dressmaker and compli-
mented her upon the service she had
rendered the army. This was the origin
of the legend."-London News.

His Intentions Misunderstood.

There is Il certain small boy living in
the vicinity of the armory who has con-
cluded that the finding of pocketbook
Is misfortune. He picked up one the
other day on the street containing about
ten dollars. Being on his way to the
bakers he generously paid a score of
Sl.25 that was "hung up" there agains;
the family, and then meandered down
town to invest another dollar in a Buff
falo Bill gun and ammunition. But
when he reached home maternal per-
suasion so quickened his conscience that
he again started out in sorrowful ques.
for the owner of the money, who was
soon discovered.
And it is further alleged that this
owner would not abate anything from
the full amount lost and that the man
who sold the little fellow the gun refused
TO take it back after all the circum-
stances had been explained, 80 that even
TO this day the mention of that pocket
book causes shadow to creep over the
countenance Of that boy.-Springfeld

A farmer named Morrand found a
woman lying underneath tree near his
farm in st. jerome parish. She was
alive, but almost skeleton, unable to
speak and insane. She was Matilda
Grapin, domestic. Over month ago
she left house to go to church, but had
never been heard of again and was be-
lieved to be dead. She had laid down
under tree where she and her dead hus-
band had often sat together. She fell
asleep and slept for two days, and when
she awoke she had lost her reason. She
wandered about the woods for thirty
five days, and never tasted any food.
She obtained water from a brook. Since
she has been found she has been rational
at times and has told the above remark

He Wanted Quick Returns.

"As l was sitting in railroad station
the other day waiting for train" said a
traveller, II saw a 4-year-old boy walk up to
a box which had been placed there to re-
ceive the contributions of the charitable,
drop penny in the slot and pull the pad
lock. Evidently he had mistaken the box
for penny-in-the-slot candy machine
When he found that he got nothing, he
called to his mother, who was sitting near
She tried to explain to her young son that
he couldn't get candy from that box, but
that he would have the pleasure of know
ing that his penny would buy something
nice for some other little child. But the
little boy didn't appear to grasp this, in
fact he paid no heed to it, and there was
nothing for the mother to do but to take
him to a machine that yielded quick re-
turns for the money"-New York Sun.

A Georgia Mule Mine.

Squire Spudler has just discovered an
extensive bay mule mine on his farm
near here The squire was fishing down
by the creek near where an old Indian
mine was worked for mules, and he was
attracted by a sound resembling the
bray of mule coming from little cave
in the bank Of the stream. The squire
commenced search and soon discovered
the ears of mule protruding above the
soft earth near the water. Work was at
once commenced and several fine speci-
mems were unearthed. The squire's SON.
in-law started with one fine specimen to
a mineralogist's to have it assayed, but
it bucked and jumped with him, and,
after sending him off on a voyage of dis
covery toward the planet Saturn, went
on a grazing spree In the adjacent COW
lot. 1t is believed that the mine will
prove very profitable, and fodder and
corn have advanced to fifty dollars per
front foot.-Calhoun (Ga.) Times.

Every one should know by this time that
1t is dangerous to ask doctors or law
yer's advice even in the most casual ana
public manner unless one expects to pay
him for it. There is well authenticated
story of man in New York who CHANGED
to remark to celebrated physician once:
Doctor, have you any sure means OF
preventing seasickness'"
Certainly" said the doctor.
"What is it?"
"Stay on shore!" said the physician and
sent the man his bill.
Another gentleman, who was vale
tudinarian, met doctor Of his acquaint-
ance on the street one day.
Doctor" said he, ppm glad ! met you.
Do you know, Pm so weak that the least
bit of walking on these pavements tires me
out. What do you think I'd better takef
"A horse car, guess" said the doctor
crustily. And he. too, sent in little
memorandum of the amount due for TINS

"D''ss'8 sSoy ~ Now 10TH CITY.
1t used to be that Thanksgiving day in
New York was, like the day all over the
eastern part Of the country, day which
conferred around dinner. This dinner
was inevitable, and the families saw each
other then that never saw each other in a
group at any other time. The prodigal
returned for it; the poor relation looked
forward to it and praised it as it pro-
gressed heavily through its different
courses; and the several members of the
family tried to be more polite and genial
and loving toward one another at that
meal than at any other of the three times
S65 other meals of the year. There are
some who like family dinners, and there
are other wicked ones who sympathize
with the young woman who assented to
having family dinner by saying, eyes,
and let us have any family but our own!'
1t is an awful and solemn ceremony in
many homes, and it is made more so, as
a rule, by some one Of the elder of the
poor relations, who endeavors to enliven
the general gloom by trying to be 1.-THE
life Of the dinner" He does this by
growing reminiscent over the younger
members, and telling how pretty they
were as children, and how they used to
make him tell and retell the old story Of
the roast pig he stole the night before
Gettysburg, with which introduction he
promptly tells the old story again.
1t may not be so everywhere, but
around New York city this has all
changed. 1t is not that the families
around the great metropolis love each
other less, or that they have less cause or
less desire to be thankful, but great and
powerful and fascinating rival has come
to take the place of the Thanksgiving
day dinner, and it is known not only in
New York, but from Texas, or wherever
else Yale man is carrying a transit, to
Canada, or wherever else the Princeton
man is building bridge, as the Thanks
giving day game.
And now everybody goes out to see
Princeton and Yale decide the football!
championship. and instead of boring each
other around dinner table, grow hoarse
and exhausted in shouting for their ia
vorite son or the college of their son.
