a Hint For Rainy Weather.

During q recent stormy day gentle
man who had no umbrella. and who had
just come into town by local train
perceived before him as he stepped into
the street q person whom he took to be
an acquaintance, and who had fine
new umbrella hoisted over his head.
Running upto him, therefore. he clapped
him on the shoulder, saying as he did so
by way Of joke. "rll take that um.
brella, ii you please" The individual
thus addressed looked round and dis
closed perfect stranger, but before the
other could apologize he said hurriedly:
"Oh, it's yours, is it? Well, I didn't
know that. Here, you can have it." and
broke away. leaving the article in the
hands OF the first party to the converse
ton. This narrative, which is strictly
true, affords valuable hint to persons
who may be caught out without protec-
don from the rain.-London Tit-Bits.

A Clever Parrot.

F. <. Zeigler OF Columbus, Pa, has a
parrot named Dick that is considered
one OF the family and is perhaps one of
the most intelligent birds of its species
IN the world. Dick always takes hand
In household matters. If Mr.. Zeigler's
son does not get up in the morning at
the usual hour to go to the office, the
parrot will say to the girl, "Call Glenn"
and he will insist on his command being
obeyed. Irecalled on one occasion when
the family was earnestly discussing some
local event Dick broke in as follows:
Papa, do you love mammal Eyes, OF
course do replied Mr.. Zeigler, when
tho parrot blurted out, "Oh, you old

OEe of the novelties of the year In
shipbuilding is the turret deck steamer
built by W. Doxford g. Sons of Su,der.
land, England, which is practically a
modification of the whaleback type now
largely used ON tic great lakes. In the
only vessel Of thi design yet built the
hull is shaped like most other vessels
from keel to water line, but from the
water line the shell is rounded off up-
ward and inward until it terminates at
the upper deck level in an upright struc-
ture, misnamed turret, running fore
and aft. The vessel has no sheer, the
deck reaching in perfectly straight
line fore and aft.
The plating, running inward from the
water line to the turret deck is thick and
strong like that of the hull proper, so
that the whole skin of tho vessel above
and below is Of the same thickness.
The engines are placed aft, as In
whaleback steamers, so that from the
engine room to the forecastle there is a
long, continuous hold, interfered with
only by the necessary bulkheads. The
boats accommodations for engineers
and crew are all abaft the engine room,
but the captain and officers are placed as
usual under the bridge forward

The Smallest French Conscr,u,.

The smallest conscript in France is
Louis Bernadat of Luret, in the depart
ment Of the Allier. This martial per-
sonage is barely 70 centimeters In light,
which is just about 29 inches, or 2 feet 4
inches, in our measurement. Little Ber-
nadat came of age this year and was
summoned to draw his number out Of
the CONSUMPTION urn like his fellows Of
the same age, and he grayely presented
himself as hidden. At first, when his
name was called out, it was thought he
was some child who had been brought
in and was told to answer as a joke. But
on looking at him again it was seen that
he was dwarf with q slight mustache.
As the top of his head did not reach
to the level of the table on which the urn
was placed, a gendarme in attendance
laid hold of him by the collar and lifted
him up to draw his number. The father
of this lilliputian soldier, who of course
will not really be made to serve, is a
well to do farmer, who is very fond of
him and has refused several seductive
offers from sEowmen who have wanted to
exhibit him.-London Views

Three Curious yyor.ls.

Filibuster. freebooter and buccaneer
are words cuiously interrelated. The
French and the English sea adventures
once made common cause against Span.
ish settlements in the new world, and all
three Of these words came in time to de-
scribe the rude sea soldiers who de.
spoiled the Spanish main and the towns
upon the coasts Of the Spanish possess
sions. Filibuster is said to he the result
Of an attempt to make French word of
freebooter, aad the English borrowed it
back from the French because it sounded
less frankly brutal than the English
word.
Buccaneer was originally French in
form, and it meant at first one who
hunted the boucan or wild cattle and
hogs Of the West Indies; then one who
made jerked meat of their flesh, and
finally. because this meat was used to
provision the ships of the sea rovers, a
alibuster or freebooter. York Sun.
