Great QueotSoa.
Macallister McIlhenny had four dol.
lars IN his pocket, and he 1T once made
mp his great mind that now was the
time to marry, SO he donned his best
and sailed forth. There was one girl
Macallister McIlhenny would have
given his right arm to have rs his own,
and she had not encouraged him to
propose because she knew he was nat
broke most Of the time. Many aneven-
ing had she sat up listening to the ten
der words OF Mac in . stuhty par
lor, when just around the corner
was = delightful ice-cream resort; and
oft they heard the merry voices Of
youths and maidens ON their way to
and from the place. Yet Macallister
McIlhenny never once said '.ice cream
to the dry and parched object of his af-
fections.
On the occasion herein chronicled, he
found her just starting out with her
mother, and rs mothers don't count,
she could not make that excuse for
leaving him, and with little sigh she
resigned herself to the inevitable and
sat down.
81 beg your pardon" he said, with
easy grace, "but why should we stay
in hers7 Ask your mother and we will
adjourn TO the ice creamery. Don't
you know it has never occurred to me
to 60 there?"
Macallister McIlhehny was an 20
complished and versatile liar.
''It would be pleasanter there than
here, think" and she called, ''Oh,
mamma" in . tone which somehow
sounded rather more suggestive than
he liked. At amy event, they all went
to the resort 1t Macallister's expense,
and when once more they had re
turned home, and the mother had dis
appeared. Mac felt that the opportuni.
" of his lifetime had come and he EN-.
braced it.
"You know. Miss O'Harrier," he said,

took her little hand in his.
"What is the question:" she inquired,
with = charming hesitancy. gently with
drawing her hand.
'Will You be miner" he asked, plump.
", for she was plump kind Of . girl.
''Yours? Oh, Mr.. McIlheany." !" and she
rose to her feet trembling.
"Yes, mine." he exclaimed. making .

She held up her pretty hands as II

"Mr. McIlhenny, she said firmly and
slowly, 81 will"
Then he made another wild grab 1t

She drew back.
'.Well, no, Mac, she laughed with

J.. The surface of the earth is slowly

the last man win Be drowned.

her revolutions finally cease, viii be
drawn nearer and nearer to the sun
until the last man will Be literally

4. The amount of water ON the earth's
surface is slowly drying up; the last
man will die begging for . drop Of
moisture with which to wet his parched
tongue.
S. A gigantic planet or comet il like

event our great luminary would blaze

2. The suns fires will gradually burn

FUNERAL FLORAL TRIBUTES.

Enormous Display In the Pros eesIoa which
Did Not Include Carnot's Body.
In none of the accounts describing
the procession which l have seen was
justice done to the display of flowers.
There were tons of them, not only
piled upon the ten special cars built
for the purpose and each of which con-
tanned At least two tons, but there
were thousands of wreaths carried up.
on the shoulders of bearers in front ot
special delegations. Every public body
and every society and delegation TAX
ing part had its wreath. Despite the
oppressive heat and tremendous crowds
one could not help feeling refreshed ~
these sweet-scented and generally ar.
tistic emblems were borne past. It is
estimated that six hundred thousand
dollars was spent in this way, while
only twenty thousand dollars waa
voted by parliament for the remainder
Of the funeral arrangements The
most striking fact in connection with
the funeral cortege, however, was this
The coffin which. was borne along
with SO much pomp and ceremony
from the Elysee to the Pantheon did
not contain the remains of President
Carnot Only two or three persons were
aware Of this fact on Sunday. As Z
matter Of fact, the remains Of NJ. Car
not were removed to the Pantheon
Thursday in the dead of night. 1t will
be remembered that Mime. Carnot re
fused to have the remains Of her hus-
band embalmed. The consequence was
that, owing to the very hot weather,
decomposition set in much sooner than
would otherwise have been the case.
On Thursday morning the body had
swelled SO much Is to break the sides
or the oaken coffin, and another and Z
larger one was substituted. But later
in the day those whose ddty il was "a
remain constantly in the Chspelle Ar.
dente became very forcibly aware Of
the presence Of odors Of the most un.
pleasant and dangerous description,
and it was then decided to remove the
remains and substitute another coffin
in the chapelle. The consequence waa
that the thousands of patriotic French
men and sympathetic friends who filed
through the chamber on Friday and
Saturday actually made their homage
