The popularity Of Loie Fuller in the
French capital has given rise to a new
adjective. A French writer recently,
in describing Sarah Bernhardt's dresses
in the revival of LA Dame aux Ca
mellias," which the beloved Sarah plays
in a new manner now, wrote that the
one Of the second act was Of white
brocade with a Vatican back, "and at
the top a huge Alsatian bow Of satin
wired out to look like wings. The
long ends Sarah brings round her Loie
fashion as she SITS" The revolving
Fuller, pictures Of whom were the
features of the Strand Magazine last
month, may now consider herself bound
for Immortality.

"A REMARKABLE STORY.
A French Baby Girl Who Inherlts
S~leepiness From Her Mother:

SsSSSssSSS ssos
1t is generally known that lettuce
makes o:,e sleepy, if eeats very much;
but it's faction probably has eve been
observed to extend 80 far as in a case
recently noted in Paris. 1t is the
story Of acertain little baroness who
had been taken by her baron to sup
per at a swell restaurant previous to
his departure on diplomatic mission
to Morocco. The lady was in that
happy condition that prefers green
apples to all the diamonds in the
market, and a luscious salad to the
wisest charms of the poet.
At the supper the romaine was the
whi,est, frmest, sweetest ever ia
tigucd with oil and vinegar by a man.
ipulatino garcon, The little baronne,
who adored her husband, actually
swore q big, lady-like swear that she
wou;d aaS nothing but lettuce till the
ba,cn rajurned from Morocco. Many
a time. in his Moorish exile, the i'm
pati=::t aaron feared that his progeny
wo";a bear the nIark of a lettuce
he,:i: on each little right arm; and
that his daughter, if he ever had one,
when she grew old enough to wear a
decollete ball dress, would scarcely
thank ner parents if her pretty arm
appeared tatooed with green leaves.
The baroness, if she did not absol-
utely live on salad, made the lettuce
her principal article Of food, and,
though her friends found her very
sleeE;s', they took her silence for de-
vot.on &c Ter absent love. When the
artac;le TO the Morocco mission re-
tu:n>d, some months after, he found
himself the father of a mignonne little
daughter; and, to his delight, both her
arr.;' were as smooth and spotless as
polished pink coral. But the cherub
passed twenty-five hours out OF the
twenty-four asleep. 1t slept so dill
gently that it's parents were really
alarmed, and the baron would have
welcomed a midnight pedestrian tour,
such as most fathers regard as a hide
Gus assault OF fate. But the baby
didn't neeI to be put to sleep by such
means. She needed to be Weakened.
No bad results had followed up to
last accounts, bat the baroness was
not eating any more salad and was
devising schemes for preventing her
little daughter from becoming a mere
rab5it.-N. Y. Recorder.

BRUlN IN A ScRAPE.
I:e Shoves His Head Into a Cask
and Can't Get It Out.

tie Shoves His Head Into a cask
and Can't Get 1t Out.
A party of hunters on the Florida
coast came suddenly upon a DEAL
proving about a beach and gravely
inspecting such articles as were brought
up by the waves, wn!ch were richer
than usual in plumber from the fact
that there had recently been a severe
storm. The author of "Wild Sports
in the South" thus describes bruins
treatment Of such wreckage: HI
would first look at III article, then
SINE. it, touch it with his paw, and
finally, after deliberately seating him
self. with his hind legs projecting in
front, turn his head on one side, and
try to crack his new acquisition with
his teeth. The burlesque gravity OF
his was in~discribable. He
threw away a cocoanut as being too
hard to chew, ate an orange with
great satisfaction, and presently. dis
covered a small cask, which he endeav-
ed to open. BY dint of much biting
he enlarged the bunghole so that ne
could insert his paw; then he held the
cask on one arm and kept the other
paw busy in rapid journeys thence to
his mouth. But this method Of get
ting at the contents did not
satisfy him, and presently,
standing erect on his hind feet, he in
serted his nose in the barrel and then
his head. Now, q bears nose is SO
sharp that it goes through a small
place very easily, but, owing to the
heavy folds Of skin about the neck
and the fact that the hair and ears
are set backward, it does not possess
the same facility for coming out. Bruin
was fast. He began to pull back,
but as he pulled thu barrel came with
MIN, and as he rolled on his back,
paving Intellectually at its convex
sides. it merely revolved around his
head as if it were on a pivot. Then
alarmed at the sound Of our laughter,
he took fright and ran, wearing the
cask on his head Ikea helmet. Up
the hill he rushed, lost all of
direction, and rolled head over heels
squarely among US. Picking himself
up he reared and began growing and
waving his paws, but was speedy re-
leased by one of the negros, who
broke the barrel with a blow from his
club and scattered the mackerel with
which it had bean filled. The bear re-
warded him for his service with a
blow of the paw which lail him on the
sands, and in another second was
himself stretched there by the dis
charge CT two rifles"
