fly trap, on account OF the extt=or-
binary manner in which it catches
flies. In shape it greatly resembles

which form the trap. are wide open,
but as soon as a fly touches any Of

A CASE OF BIG HEAD.

This Baltimore Man Can Not Find a
Hat to Fit Him.
A man with a head two feet one
and fiye.eighths inches in circumfer-
ence is a curiosity, and when Moses
Hall, colored, of Owings Mills,
walked into the store OF c. b Bates,
Mr.. Rates was nota little bit surprised.
At first glance Halls head looked as
if I: hat would fit it. That is an
unusually large size, but when that
hat was tried on it was too small.
Then Mr.. Rates bethought himself
Of an Cd derby which he had had in
his window off and on for over
year, with placard stating that it
woald be given to any one it would
fit. The size was Ii, which is the
largest Mr. Eate5 has sold in all his
ten years experience.
After some search the hat was
found and tried on, but to the dis
gust and establishment of the store
keeper it was too small. 1t rested
on the back OF Hairs head as a ten
year-old boys hat would rest on that
of an ordinary man. Mr.. Bates then
measured the mans head and found
that it would require a hat Sc size.
That Is twelve sizes larger than the
average hat worn by man. -Balti-

A COMEDY OF ERRORS.
That Was Enjoyed by All Paris Save One
Woman and the Police.


Woman and the Police.
Paris is shaken with mirth over
the tlibulations Of a commissary OF

Philadelphia Telegraph A certain
ady went to the Bon Marche the
other day and stole a quantity of
!aluabie lace She was arrested
forthwith and turned over to the
police. The eulprit was invited to
line that evening, and begged the
authorities to let her notify her ex-
oectant host, but as the authorities
ire not tender to thieves they calmly
ignored her request That evening
VI. Prelat the police official from
The left bank OF the Seine. hired a
;ab and went to the guilty woman's
CONS.
There he found so many stolen
FOODS that lie rummaged through the
entire place. and packing all the
stolen effects in a big black trunk
got his cabman to aid HIM in taking
t down to the carriage. The next
morning the gentleman whose din
ler was spoiled by the absence OF his
air guest called to see what was the

disorder Of the room denoted that
she had fought desperately for her
life, but he had murdered her
aud stuffed her corpse and all OF
the valuables he could find into a
missing black trunk.
The friend flew off with cries of
despair to notify the police of the
quarter OF this awful crime. The
concierge related the whole affair
to knot OF curious bystanders which
speedily expanded into dense
crowd. the police TOOK down the
description of the criminal who stole
the black trunk and the description
OF the cabman who drove a white
horse, ordered the locks changed on
the apartment so that no one could
enter without the knowledge OF the
police, and then withdrew with dig
nifty. Half an hour later, while the
crowd was still staring at the MUIR
der-stained house. the cab with the
white horse drove up TO the door,
and the supposed murderer alighted.
lie was instantly denounced by the
irate concierge, and being utterly
unconscious OF his own supposed
misdeed, was nearly lynched by the
furious mob before he sufficiently
realized the situation to produce his
police badge. when the crowd re-
specially dropped him. The unof-
Tending comissaire then found Him
self locked out of the apartment,
owing to the precautions of the
police, and was forced to send for his
colleague to open the door for him.
His search for stolen goods was sue
cessful, as he Melted about So, 00C

MANS COURAGE.

Now the battle smoke was thinned
BY the steady evening wind
Cloud or shadow there was none
And the penetrating sun
Filled up every niche and fold
OF the landscapes furrOwed mold
With the all pervadins i;ht
From our naked, walless hei.ht
We could see the thrObbing hear
OF the conflict like chart,
Barred before US in detail
Where we hung above the hail
OF the shot whose every tread
Left footprint marked in red
We could count from breath to breath
Every foes and cOmrade death
Every man of US deserted
Every effort Of our side,
Every movement Of the foe
In the moililg Teek below
Not man bus understood
All that passed and all that would
Come, as clear as he whose mind
Steered the sQuadrOns, deaf and blind
Through the breakers that upbursJ
Where the cannon did their worst
We could see our time draw near:
With the knowledge grew our fear
Every dying agony
Each Of US could plainly see
Seemed TO each mans calm despair
His own death prefgured there.
Through each smoke wreath's curtin; foam
Visions rose to US Of home
Memories Of tender words,
Perfumes, morning son Is Of birds
Faces to each man grew plain
He might never see gain
Voices whispered: The most brave
Hear no love words in the or I'VE
There We saw from where we lay
The days crisis, like a flower
Bloom into the coming hour
Saw our foemen's utmost strength
Hurled on all our lines at length,
Saw our need and n ,er grow
Felt the waitinE moments 20
While the balance Wavered yet
Saw how desperately met
All the lines before our bands.
Knew the day was in orr hands;
Knew that not one chance in ten
Was with any sons Of men
In the path that lay before
Then, in all that trenchant roar
When no man OF us could choose
Not know all he had TO lose
All We might and might not win,
Mounted orders Clattercd in
And with our great task plain in sight.
Our foes seen m the clear light
Steady, without sound Of drum,
Dumb, as a machine IS dumb
All our front with bayOnets mlr,cl,
