Speetacles. Shipped With Car-Loads of
 Iowa Potatoes, Sold as a Side Line.
 There are number of potato-ped- dlers going about from house to house in Kansas City selling their wares from wagons. They generally go in pairs, one driving the horse, the other the bargains From all parts of the town stories have been conVerging to the Star about 'side-line," to use the drummers' vernaeular, which these gentlemen carry and with which they try to delude unsophistieated women. From all reports there are none such in Kansas City, for none so far have been deluded.
 The peddler goes to the bael-door with handful of large, open-eyed, clean-skinned potatoes, which he offers for sale. If no sale is made he turns to go, and then returning as if he had just remembered something, he pulls pair of gold-rimmed speetacles from his pock ct, offering them to the housewife with the remark: Here is pair of fl me gold spectacles which I found in carload of Iowa potatoes. If you want them you can have them for two dollars tor one dollar or fifty cents and down.. know they are gold, for took them to a jeweler to be tested.
 An east side lady had two visits from the spectacle gentlemen. At the sec ond visit, after he had produced the spectacles, the following dialogue took place. "oh, yes, said the lady, you got them out of car of potatoes
 ''Why, yes" replied the potato spec tacle man. How did you know2"
 And they were Iowa potatoes, were they not?" asked the lady.
 "To be sure" said the peddler.
 Then" said the lady, the potatoes in Iowa must all be near-sighted or they grow greatly variegated crops in that state, for from the number of pairs of speetacles that l have heard of coming out of cars of Iowa potatoes they must be very common up there." But by this time the peddler had van- ished around the corner of the house. Kansas City Star.

tlon of the marriage, on the ground of eonstraint. and she finished by marry ing the happy M. de Gentry. The prince of Hohenzollern, cousin of the king of Prussia, was ordered to marry Antoinette Murat, a cousin of the Beau Sabreur" and king of Naples, and although both the prince and Antoinette declared that they mutually hated one another, the marriage nevertheless took place, Napoleon being of the opinion, like Mrs. Malaprop, that married life had better commence with little hatred. One morning the Due de Croy was in- formed by his friend, the prefect of Mans, that Napoleon had resolved that his daughter should be married at once to general, and that an order to that effect would be delivered to the Due de Groy on the following day But the duke was man of recourse, and there being in the house an amiable cousin, one Fernand de Croy a marriage be- tween the two cousins was celebrated by the parish priest. When the formal order of Napoleon arrived the next morning. the duke replied that he was
 sdesolated, but that his daughter had already married her cousin Fernand. But 1t was not safe to try to outwit the umbrageous emperor and a few days afterward Fernand, the married man. was drafted into regiment of cavalry and sent to Russia, from which country he eventually re- turned, minus an arm. As late as 1872, the Minister of Police Savary issued a circular to all the projects of depart ments, ordering them to send to Paris a list of all the heiresses in their re- spective departments, with full par ticulars as to age, personal charms, and amount of property, either in pos session or in expectation These lists were sent to the emperor, who divided his time impartially between their pe- rusal and the monthly returns of the positions of his regiments and their presumed equipments. In fact the emperor, whether from policy or freak, or from both was an inveterate match maker, and never troubled himself about the Conscientious scruples" of either the ladies or gentlemen con eerned. Mile. So-and-So was ordered to marry Gen So-and-So, and vice. versa, and the emperor expected to be obeyed by the more or less happy couples, as he ex- pected his regiments to obey him on the battlefield. The endeavor to make a rough-and-ready soldier, like Napoleon, a hero of romance, is de- cided failure-but the very attempt to do so shows to what extent the modern revival of the Napoleonic legend is car ried. The best that can be said for Napoleon in his character of match maker is that he sought to fuse the new nobility of his own creation with the old French titled families, and in this way to revive and strengthen the noble caste, which the French revolu- tion had partially succeeded in de- stroying. In this respect, as in many others, the genius of Napoleon was di- rected toward the revival of the old regime in more despotic form than during the reigns of Louis XIV. and his descendants. ts.-Paris American Reg ister.

Germany's Youthful Criminals.

A German paper states that i'll conse- quence of the considerable increase in the number of youthful criminals in Germany between 1s and IS years of age the imperial ministry of the in terior at Berlin is contemplating the reorganization of the compulsory edu- cation system. The government has in view the imitation of English insti- tutions All the German laws our Ber- lin correspondent points out have the great fault that the interference of the authorities is permitted only when a child has committed some crime, but they give no handle against morally debased children who are still free from crime The number of youthful criminals has risen from 42,240 to 46,- 4e8-that is, 10 per cent. in one year..

 It would seem that dress reform for women might be an undertaking exten- sive enough to occupy all the time and exhaust the energy of it's advocates, but no-with woman's characteristic desire to accomplish something just be- yond her reach, she must agitate the question of a change in the customary evening dress for men, and put them, if she can, into velveteen coats, knee brooches and silk shirts.-N Y.

FOREIGN GOSSIP.

--The rare instance of the coming of age of whole trio of triplets was cele- brated recently at Whitenast, near bennington, England. Generally, in case of triplets, the children die soon after birth, but occasionally they sur vive and reach maturity. One case is on record of quadruplets, all of whom
 were reared.

FEMlNlNlTYs SUBTLE CHARM.
She Filings About Her the Grace that Fancy
 Attaches to Her Sex.

A meeting of the Healthy and Artistic Dress Union," which was founded in London four years ago for the purpose of making dress Hess hideous" and more hygienic in it's prin- ciples, is another proof of the continued effort women are making in the direc- ton of dress reform All the members of the union expressed their preference in most realistic manner, for there is a choice even in this branch of costunl- ing, and every possible eccentricity of emancipated dress, from the simplest cycling costume to the broeade gown, was displayed on the forms, their wooden substitutes, or spread about the room.
 The greater portion of the women appeared in divided shirts, few in the jacket and lxnickerbockers, and others in something they call the rational dress" which is a species of reform which boasts of a petticoat. Those who went to the meeting on bicycle took a turn around the room to display their different costumes, and 1t was generally conceded that the nearer approached the masculine dress the better they were suited to the exercise One conspicuous figure was a woman clad in pale-green walking suit made with drapery and short skirt so loose that the wearer had perfect freedom. A gown, which was termed artistic, was made of brocaded silk with yoke and loosely falling skirt. Another cos tune, which was the original idea of the woman who wore it, resembled barris- ter's robe. Sanitary corsets, stockings, and petticoats were on exhibition, and also shoe which has a division to keep the large toe In it's natural position. Snaanhes uuere made on the aubiectEs Q4
