Introducing II Lecturer.

One of those English customs which
would be more ,honOred in the breach
than in the observance is that Of pre-
senting lecturer to the audience by
a chairman. This unnecessary pre-
siding officer, having read up on the
subject, rises to say a few words of
introduction, and sometimes antici-
pates some of the lecturers best
points.
In an English village loquacious
squire and a garrulous rector both in
PRODUCED a lecturer, and their "few
words" occupied nearly all the time
which had been allotted to the lect-
ure. The lecturer, however, was
equal to the occasion. He spoke
about twenty minutes, and then,
looking at his watch, said:
Ladies and gentlemen, / must now
leave, that / may catch my train, but
I will ask your permission before |
depart to suggest for your considera-
ton an occurrence which took place
on board a small American vessel.
"The captain, the mate, and a pas
senger dined together A roly-poly
pudding was placed on the table, and
the captain said to the passenger:
stranger, do you like ends?'
ono
oh, don't yer? Me and my mate
does;' and the captain cut the pud-
ding in two, giving one end to the
mate and appropriating the other "
The audience saw the point, and
heartily applauded.
An Englishman, a temperance lect-
urer. was invited to speak on total
abstinence. Being nobody in particu-
lar, he was placed last on the list of
speakers. The chairman also intro
duced several speakers whose names
were not on the list, and the audi
ence were tired out, when he said:
"Mr. Bailey will now give us his adj
dress"

ing, as 45, Loughborough Park Brix-
ton Road, and / wish you all good
night. Youths Companion.

NEW YORK papers in depicting
Chicago as pig seem to have reached
the climax of humorous possibility
and to be content there to abide.
Yet Chicago got only what New
York strove for and did not have
gumption and enterprise enough to
secure. Admitting for arguments
sake that Chicago is the fat-joWled
animal of Gotham cartoons innumer-
able, it still rises superior to the dog
in the manger.

IN SUSPENDED CARS.
= New Electric Road Which Is to Make
Three Miles Il Minute.


Three Miles Il Minute.
Preparations are now being made
at Passaic, n. j., to test novel in
vcntion, which, it is claimed, will
finally solve the rapid transit prob
lem. It was designed by Mr.. Alfred
Spear and is an elcvoted electric rail
road running on a single track, from
which the cars are to be suspended SO
that they run beneath instead Of
over the rail. The cars are to be
made of basket work, covered with
light wood, and are not to weigh over
1900 pounds each. They will be
pointed at both ends, so as to offer
the least possible resistance to atmos-
pheric pressure, and a speed of from
two to three miles minute 10 said
to be quite possible for them.
They will run on single track
road elevated on iron columns. The
cross beams on top Of the posts will
be about six feet long, sufficient to
support two single rails, on which

THERE is a sort Of impulsiveness
which often gets people into serious
trouble. We are fretted and vexed
at the acts of somebody else, and we
do not wait to think, but say out our
irritation; and wound deeply some
sensitive spirit. We are angry, and
we let passion rule us instead Of re-
Election. The impulsive person who
cannot control his temper is like one
who carries fire near gunpowder.

THREE TILTED PRlNCEsSES.
Royal Maidens Whose Trusting Hearts

Gossip Of the impending marriage

stirring Up the Texas Snakes.

General Dyrenforth's big wooden hy-
Grogen gas tank sprung leak last night,
and the circumambient air was loaded
with something which affected all ami
NAL nature in San Antonio. The small
lizard ON Alamo heights climbed into
the mesquite brush to get O breath Of
fresh air, and the jack rabbit ran for the
tall timber. The rattlesnakes relaxed
their grip about the tree trunks, and
were observed today in state of coma.
Humanity could do little more than hold
its nose and hold on tight. General
Dyrenforth is above all such trifies, and
with clothespin ON his nose he rode
about just as he did years ago in the
Chickahominy swamps.
The general wanted to honor lady
who was present, and brought forth a
10-pound bag of roselite. 1t was hung
to the limb of tree about 1000 yards
from camp. 1t was discharged with an
electric battery. A few moments later
the men in charge of the explosion
brought in dead rattlesnake four feet
long, two jack rabbits, and wild turkey
from General Breckinridge's preserve,
The rattlesnake looked like pin cushion.
He was killed by the shock, but his hide
was punctured millions of times by
splinters from the shattered tree. The
snake was as thick as gas main. His
head was donated to the University OF
Dallas. The incident has made the
Dyrenforth party wary of snakes.--

Never Too Late for Romance.

A marriage was celebrated near JEFF

which hope deferred made an old heart
glad Saturday an old man registered
at the Howard House in Jefferson He
wrote his name, "John McCabe, Ohio, y
in trembling hand, and began inquir,
ing about some of the older families OF
that section. Among the persons fol
whom he had asked were the Niblocks
and Daniels.
He had left jackson county in 1885,
being then eighteen years of age, and
was never heard of after. The cause OF
his departure was the preference shown
by his fiancSe, Miss Jessie Carmichael,
for young neighbor, Edward Toomer
He went into the then new country Of
Ohio, married, reared large family and
became one of the patriarchs of his sec
ton. Later his wife died, and great
desire came over him to see the people
whom he had known in his youth.
The old mans glee was great when he
discovered that the girl whom he haC
loved, now the widow of Toomer, was
still alive. He went to see her, and th'
result was a wedding. Cor. New Orleans

The scaffold upon which John Brown

rived at Washington for shipment to
the Worlds fair. The timbers are in
good state Of preservation, though they
have served the purposes Of a porch to
the residence Of q son of the man who
built the scaffold. The gallows itself is
o plain, substantial affair, which would
attract little attention apart from its
history. The timbers are evidently pine,
although they have been painted over at
some later period to preserve them. The
two uprights are big beams six inches
square, and the crossbar is in proper.

was put together have been preserved.

rhou..nds Of SINGING isira..

When the North German Lloyd steam
erHerrmann unloaded on Saturday TWEEN
ty large bundles shrouded in white cloth
were carefully lifted from the hold and
placed ON the dock. From each bundle
came chorus of angry twitterings and
chirpiugs and much fiuttering Of wings.
The bundles were loaded on truck and
were taken to the store of a bird fancier
in William street. There they were un-
loaded and the cloths removed. Each
bundle contained 252 little wooden bird
cages, each with q canary bird in it. I'm
mediately every one of the 5,040 birds
stretched his little yellow throat in an
effort to outsing his neighbor. They
caroled and trilled as merrily as il they
were looking out on green heath and
blue sky instead of muddy highway
half obscured by drive of wet snow.
Three men undertook the task Of giving
the birds grain and water, and the ops
Grafton consumed the major part OF u
day.
The canaries are of three grades-the
$3.50 birds, the $5 birds, and the $40
birds. The ordinary birds are worth
$3.50. A large fine bird, or one of par
ticularly handsome coloring, brings
twice that price, while q distinguished
vocalist will bring $40. All the birds
are males and singers. They come from
Germany, where they are bred in large
numbers. It is probable that all of the
5000 birds will be sold within few
weeks. This is the busy time in the
canary market, and within the past
week more than 10000 of these birds
have arrived classed as live stock
