A sad Mistake.

Mrs. Foster was from New England,
and regarded life very seriously, never
shrinking or turning back from the path
of duty which lay before her, but she
never realized that French was at all
necessary until she visited Paris. Then
she had TO rely upon a phrase book,
which relieved her mind of all care, but
greatly exercised the mental powers of
the natives with whom she came in con-
tact. Her nephew, who was studying art
il the French capital, secured for her an
invitation to reception given by a IA
nous French artist. Mrs. Foster went,
accompanied by her nephew (and the
phrase book. She thought she knew just
where to open and read her lines. She
was introduced in French to the artist
He spoke in French, her nephew replied
in French, until the dear old lady got
bewildered. But she felt that she must
say something. so she opened the inevita-
BILE book and read off the first sentence
which met her eye, giving it the true
New Hampshire twang. The artist smil-
ed sweetly, her nephew also smiled sweet
ly, but as Mrs. Foster saw the translation
in italics after the sentence she nearly
tainted. As her nephew led her away,
however, he Congratulated her upon her
introduction and knowledge of the Ian
guage.
"But, Henry" cried his.horrifed aunt,
"did you hear what said asked him
how soon could we get something to eat
that's what | asked HMM French '
Her nephew smiled he would have
liked to laugh. "Oh," he replied. "Did
you? Well, auntie, it doesn't matter, for
he asked me what in thunder you said,
and | tod him | didn't know. y Horpers g.

A Good Erc,,se for Once.

'Lias Blackburn was, in his day, one
of the most successful and notorious
moonshiners of southwestern Virginis.-
Still, 'Lias was by no means an unprln-
ciped man. His contempt for the reve.
nue laws was complemented by regard
for code OF morals, peculiarly his own,
that gave him no little worry, for it par
licuIarly inveighed against unreasonable
inebriety. 'Lias never was drunk with
out cause, and "any other reason why"
being no reason for drink to his logical
mind, he was often sober for five consecu-
tive days.
After one of these periods Of abstinence
'Lias found occasion to smuggle ten
gallon "kaig' into Tennessee. Lias had
quasi-conviction that in spite of his
generous guaging of the barrel, short
age might be noticed when he delivered
the goods, and the suspicion weighed ON
his mind more than the "kaig' on his
shoulder. When he reached the part OF
mountain trail called High Knob, the
greatest elevation thereabouts, he felt SO
worn out by worry and fatigue that he
decided to rest awhile. The beauty OF
night brought comfort to LASS soul
and the softuess of the turf to his bare
feet. He threw dowri the "kaig," stretch
ed himself on the grass, aud shut his eyes
for "fo'ty wiuks."
Around High Knob there is only one
thing thicker than huckeberries and
moonshiners it is rattlesnakes. Conse.
quently 'Lias, wakening bv sharp pain
in his right great toe, was not at all sur
pristd to see an immense rattler wrigglIng
away. 'Lias sat up. A great contented
smile spread over his face. He drew the
"kaig" trihe nearer, put out his left foot
and shook it at the retreating snake.
"Chaw away, ole man. said 'Lias.-
us just as well prepared TO you as tho
you'd given me six months notice.

An excursion from Bennington TO Mont
gomery was run the other day. A negro
man appeared at the ticket Office in the de-
pot and purchased ticket for himself
Then he said to the ticket agent;
"Bo~s,-I want mother round trip sour
sion ticket for corpse"
The agent opened his eyes in astonish-
ment An excursion ticket for corpse
was something new to him, even with his
varied experience.
The negro explained "You see, boss.
my brudder died yesterday, and want ter
take de corpse down to Montgomery and
let de family view the mains, and den
bring EN- back to Birmingham and bury
'cm. Dis will be heap cheaper jen fur de
family to cum up here"
The agent saw at once that this was
great stroke OF economy and enterprise on
the part Of the negro There were probably
dozen members in the family, and tickets
for them to Birmingham, and board while
here, would be quite expensive. The
corpse could get the benefit Of excursion
rates to Montgomery, and would pay no
board while there. Thus the negro sub
served his respect for the grief OF the fami-

Narro,r Escape Of Abduitah.

One morning the talented and efficient
Caliph of Bagdad awoke in humor al
most as bad as that of a man who is try
ing to write with stylographic pen.-
He telegraphed Immediately for Abdul
lah, his grand vizier, who came running
with his tongue hanging out.
Last night" said the Caliph, 81 had
dream to the effect that all the married
women in Bagdad threw themselves on
their knees before me aud bewailed their
condition. You are responsible for the
welfare of my subjects, and | want this
thing stopped, and by the beard of the
prophet, if you don't put stop to 1t, Ill
put period to your existence"
"Humbug!" replied Abdullah, "there
is not one married woman in Bagdad who
would swap places with any unmarried
woman. They are all chronic kickers,
but nevertheless, there are some who are
happy"
"Well, you find one and bring her
here before the first of next month, or off
goes your head under the civil service
reform rules"
Abdulah supposed that in unearthing
happy married woman he had the soft
est i b in town, whereas it was harder
than tracing lost umbrella.
The first call he made was on the Ca
liph's own wife. He supposed that she
could not help being happy, but he was
surprised when he found that she was
the most miserable of her sex +; that for
abiect wreichedness she captured the
entire bakery and some of the adjoining
buildings. She had discovered in her
husbands pistol pocket letter addressed
to him and signed "Your loving wootsy-
tootsy Fatima."
As Abdullah was leaving the place he
met on the stairs Bridget Muldoon the
scrub lady. She had Chicago feet and
was not happy because her husband
would not allow her to compete in a
beauty show.
We have not space TO record ABB
dullahs failures to find happy married
woman in Bagdad. He finally said TO
his own wife, where he thought he had
sure thing of it, Emily, | suppose you
are happy woman, are you not?'
81 might be happy if / only had a
husband who would supply me with a
few decent clothes to wear. This is the
third fall I've worn the same bonnet
Verify, Abdullah, you are no good, re-
piled his loving wife.
Abdullah, perceiving that great sor-
row was gnawing at her heart, caused the
conversation to drift into other channels.
AS the first of the month was rapidly
approaching, Abdullah began to listen
to hear his own head drop into the bas-
ket with a nauseatiug reverbera'ion.
"IlI let you off this time" replied the
Caliph, "because while you were Oft in
the country have discovered a happy
married woman myself il Bagdad."
"Impossiblel I've asked them all
Who is this happy woman p asked Alb
dullah.
"Your own wife. She told me that
she was always happy when you were
out of town."

Language Of me Forehead.


Descending to the analysis of single
features il will be instructive to look crit
ically at the writing in the forehead.
1t is not always an easy thing to meas
ure by the eyes the actual width or height
of this portion of the head, because of the
volume of hair which often encroaches
toward the eye, but it is fairly safe TO con-
clude that the size of forehead has dl-
rect relation TO brain capacity.
This is subject only to qualifications as
to intensity and activity which need not
now be considered.
For all purposes within the range of
this sketch it may be said that high
and broad forehead denotes Intellectual
ity, with an acute nervous temperament,
although only too often lack of balance.
A slightly sloping forehead indicates
availability of talent, aud when the slope
is caused by high perspectives lying over
the eyes it may be taken as showing pow
ers of keen observation.
If the slope is found without this full
ness over the eyes it may be accepted as
the evidence of weak reasoning powers,
for the forehead is undoubtedly the seat
Of the mental faculties.
Mirthful women, with fine sense OF
the ridiculous, are usually marked by a
distinct prominence at what may be call
ed the upper corners of the forehead
Fullness in the centre, partly covered by
the hair suggests good nature aud friend
illness, while roundness between the hair
line and the center Of the head plainly
indicates aboundiDg generosity and SYM
pathy.
Most women have an active apprecia-
ton of the artistic and decorative, and
hence it is that in most faces is seen a
plumpness over the eyebrows. A notice
able development about half an inch
above the outer end of the eyebrows is
characteristic Of pronounceably musical
persons.-Lodies' Home Journal.
The steamship Seneca, which reached
port the other day, was converted into
regular aviary by $50 Cuban parrots,
which were consigned to bird fancier

course of training under the tutelage OF
Cuban women. All the parrots are young,
some less than eight weeks old, and fully
two thirds of them have still to De fed by
