 In some of the more strictly French sections of New Orleans the supersti tfons of the tickle European republic still survive. One of the most peculiar of these is that loaf of bread thrown into water will act as diviIing rod, and locate the presence of a dead body. Some time ago small party of citizens of French extraction were trying this experiment. One of their friends had been missing for several days, and the impression had gained ground that he had drowned himself in the river. Se- curing d boat and a loaf of bread, his friends had started out to ascertain definitely whether this was the case. When saw them they had been work ing for more than an hour, and waited long enough to see them abandon the task The general satisfaction all felt was due to the fact that the bread had simply foated in the river, and had not been attracted to any specific spot, this being in the opinion of the search CTS proof positive that the man had not been drowned in the river at all..-- St..

Tale of Tough and Small Man With a
 Bad Eye.

The first of the California passenger trains of the Atchison, held by the strikers at Raton for nine days, had arrived in Chicago. A number of the passengers went to the general offices and each had some stirring tale to tell Just as the delayed passengers were sitting down to dinner in the eating station, would-be tough of the som brero and spur variety waltzed into the dining-room with whoop. Address ing the girlwaiters particularly he yelled;
 II want you weemen to understand you don't pasture these cattle here no more, not none. The first time 1 see anyone of you heifers ehuckin' grub to anyone of these aristocrats 1 thereupon chucks bomb full O dyna- mite into the middle O this room and blows the hull cavayard to tophet"
 Hold up your hands, interrupted a small man with bad eye, Seated at the nearest table. The bad eye was gleam- ing behind a Colts forty-five and the sights were lined at the top of the toughs nose.

 'Now keep 'em there till stop graz in'," said the small man, and added parenthetieally: Maggie. give me a few more molasses fer these fapjacks. Sweets to the sweet, you know, an l don't want to belle my disposition"
 The tough's hands lad. gone up at the second command and there they stayed for twenty long minutes. The small man had a large appetite and the girls fairly fell over each other to wait on him. Just in front of him, on hat-topped sugar bowl, lay his ''equalizer,n cooked and ready for in- stant use. The passengers slowly filed out of the dining-room. Last of all came the small man with the bad eye, herding ahead of him the tough, with arms still in air. Five holes of appro- priate size and location to aceommo- date his legs, arms and head were sawed in a barrel and the tough was barreled up, bound with ropes and laid away in the baggage ear.-Chicago Herald.

HIS SPEECH BETRAYED HIM.
How Beggar Proved Himself to Be sn
 Arrant JInpoxtur.

Arrant lInpokfur.
 Look out for young man witha sandy mustaehe, of diminutive proportions, fair complexion, and light blue eyes and an imitation British accent, who is going around the city appealing to the sympathies of those whom he judges by their appearance to be Englishmen. He is an arrant impostor, deserving ot punishment instead of sympathy.
 The other night on Madison street he unfolded a tale of woe which was any thing but confirmed by his well-fed ap. pearance. listened to it with de- gree of slxepticism which was the inevi- table product of previous experience with beggars of various types.
 ''lIow long since you left England?" asked.
 Six weeks, " he replied, volunteering the additional but entirely uncalled-for information that he had not slept in bed for five nights.
 What were you doing in England before you left?''
 ''I was a clerk, , pronouncing it as it was spelled, ''in store in Liverpool l"
 You haven't yet become an expert pfoIesSlondi Deggaf, said 70 hlm, although you seem to be making pretty good thing outof it. Ifyou had only left England six weeks ago you would have said that you had been a clark in a Liverpool shop. Just re- member that when you next try to take in an Englishman and it may bedollars in your pocket"
 But the ungratefal scamp, instead o1 appreeiating my disinterested advice, hurled this at me:
 You are Mir. Mean. from Meanwhile. and wouldn't take | dime from you il the drinks went along with it"
 That speech betrayed an intimate ac quaintance with American slang which it would take an Englishman long years to acquire. Chicago Times.
