STRENGTH OF THE CzAR.

The Rochester Democrat and Chroni-
Gle says that Christian Petersen. a
Dane, now living at Wolcott, N. Y,
was until recently a member of the
King of Denmark's body guard. Pc
tersen is young fellow about 25 years
of age, and is splendid specimen of
physical manhood.
Early this summer the Car of Rus
sia, the Prince of Wales and other high
mightinesses came to spend the sum-
mer with the King of Denmark. 1t
fell to Petersen's lot to be detailed on
the Cars guard, and they escorted that
imperial parsonage wherever he went.
Ia May it became bis whim to go fish
ing daily each afternoon on small
lake near the royal castle. The Car
asked the officer in charge of the guard
to select competent oarsman to row
him about. In response to the latter's
question as to who among the men un-
derstood the management of boat, six
soldiers stepped from the ranks. The
Car looked them over and selected
Petersen. Thereafter, for about fort
night, bis only duty was to man boat
from to 5 p. m, each day and row the
Gar about. The latter, Petersen says,
caught very few fish, being too ner,
vous to become an expert angler. Yet
it could not have been through fear OF
nihilists or other evil.disposed persons,
for whenever he was ahoat the lake
was surrounded by 10000 soldiers, who
spread out in thin line clear around
the sheet, allowing no outsider even to
approach the shore.
Petersen describes the Car as a
huge, handsome man, very pleasant to
all who come in contact with him, and
of prodigious strength. He weighs
nearly 800 pounds, is 6 feet 4 inches tall
and without an ounce of superhuous
fat. On one occasion this spring he
gave public exhibition of his enor-
nous strength. He was complaining
of the quality of metal certain con-
tractor had supplied for the bayonets
used in his army, when the captain of
the guard ventured to suggest that
the sword bayonet used by his men
was of the finest quality of Norwegian
steel.
81 think not,' said the Car. "I will
wager you so francs that you have been
cheated like the rest of u.s."
II will take that wager" said the
officer, with satisfied smile. In an
instant the Car called one of the
soldiers to him, and, removing the
bayonet from the latter's gun, took it
between the thumb and fingers of either
hand. Then, standing erect, and ap-
parently with scarcely an effort, he
b,oke the tough steel in two pieces.
Petersen explained that this was
merely whimsical exhibition of great
strength, and no reflection on the
quality of the metal, which could not
be surpassed. But the soldiers of the
garrison subsequently tried to emulate
the feat, selecting some of their strong
est men for the trial, but were unable
to break the bayonets.

am asked to explain why some men
think it fashionable to turn up the bot
toms of their trousers, and how such a
fashion originated. Men may turn up
their trousers in wet weather without
reproach, because the doing so is neat
and thrifty; but to turn up trousers in
dry weather was first thought of by a
lot of London bank clerks, who sit ON
the razor-back tops of the Oxford
street omnibuses, and are apt to rub
the bottoms of their trousers against
the hardware of the seats. To keep
them turned up through the day prob
ably struck them as economical. But
| have never seen men of fashion in
London turn up their trousers under
any circumstances. In wet weather
they take cabs, but for one of them to
appear on Rotten Row in the season
with his trousers turned up would be
Justly considered as a serious breach
of decorum. | am aware that noble
earl at a wedding recently in this city
appeared at the altar with his trousers
turned up But am forced to con-
clude he intended that as a cynical
practical joke on the anglo-maniacs
and weak imitators he had met at the
New York clubs, who think it is Eng
lish to wear trousers turned up an inch
at the bottom.-N Y. Press.

The Black Serge Gown.

An effective trimming for a black
serge gown is black watered silk edged
with narrow ecru lace. The conspicu-
Gus revers are of watered silk, with the
lace finish and the fiaring cuff is treated
in the same manner. The vest in these
serge gowns is either a black watered
silk waistcoat, which fits in tailor-made
fashion, or it is a fluffy affair of black
chiffon, crossed with parallel insertions
of ecru lace. Gowns of black-faced
cloth are charmingly trimmed this year
with jet mingled with a touch of gold
passementerie. One fancy is to have
an infinitesimal band of the bright pas
sementerie outline the cores of the
otherwise sombre skirt. Black and
gold is combination much in favor
this season.-N. Y. World.

THE coRMoRANT AT WORK,



Than on the Surface.
Those who watch the cormorant's
diving feats are usually so interested
in the fortunes of the chase, as the
handsome bird dashes after the fish,
that not one visitor in twenty OBJ
serves that, from the mode of its enter
ing the water to it's exit, its methods
of movement are absolutely different
from those of the penguins The cor
morant does not plunge headlong. 1t
launches itself on the surface and then
'ducl1s' like grebe.
Its wings are not used as propellers,
but trail INCREASINGLY level with its
body, and the speed at which it courses
through the water is wholly due to the
swimming powers of its large and ugly
webbed feet. These are set on quite
at the end of the body and work inces-
sanity like trcadle or the floats of a
stern wheel steamer. Yet the condi-
lions of submarine motion are SO favor
able that the speed of the bird beloy
the surface is three or four times
greater than that gained by equally
rapid movements of the feet when it
has risen and is swimming on the top
The luster of the feathers in the clear
water, the cloud of brilliant bubbles
which pour from the plumage, like the
nebulous train of comet, as the bird
rushes through the water, and thu,
sapphire light of the large blue eye,
make the cornorant's fishing one OF
the prettiest aquatic exercises in the
world. Spectator.

MIR. Nelthorpe's Theory About tho
Treatment of Woman.

That man is only mortal and liable
to error is a well-establishcd rule, and
there are in the world certain num-
Der of men, each of whom considers
himself the exception that we all know
is necessary to prove a rule of this
kind
Charlie Nelthorpe was one of the
number. He was a prig of the first
water. He looked at all things and
discussed all things from supremacy
priggish point of view. but no subject
displayed his priggishness to such add
vantage-or shall say disadvantage
as the subject of women. On that sub
ject he held himself an indisputa BILE
authority. There was no reason why
he should. for he was young as yet, and
had really had no very special expert
ence of the opposite sex; but your full
blown typical prig generally rises SUI
perior to such secondary considera-
ton as reason. Charlie rose superior
to it, and would cxpound his views and
theories at as great length and with as
much assurance as if he had devoted
long life and highly-cultured intellect
to the study of that particular hero
glyphic which is called woman.
He was great believer in what he
called Systematic training" That is
to say he considered that women
ought to be treated according to GER
tain system that he had evolved from
his inner consciousness. The beauty
of the system in his eyes was the fact
that it required no notifications, but
might with safety be vigorously en-
forced in every case. Ii could not
fail.
Charlie was the lucky possessor of
an unencumbered esta tie with very
considerable rent roll. and he intended
to find woman who loved him for
what he was, without a thought for
what he had and who would have
shared a mud hut or a garnet with him
just as gladly as she would share his
fine old place in Yorkshire. When he
had found her, he meant to train her
on his infallible system That was
his programme, and it never occurred
to him to distrust his powers of carry
ing it out. His belief in himself was
absolute, and the infallibility of his
reasoning and judgment "A thing that
to his mind did not admit of the
slightest shadow of doubt.
When he became engaged, his male
friends were quite excited in their
anxiety to see the woman whom he
had deigned to honor with his ap-
prevail and when they had seen her
there was but one opinion among the
lot of them.
IAN uncommon nice girl, and any
amount too good for that prig Nell
thorpe Well well, fools for luck!''
That was the unanimous verdict
Lord Dolly Dashwood one of
Charities closest friends-by that |
mean one OF certain select circle who
frequently borrowed flyers of him,
which they forgot to repay-waxed
eloquent upon the subject
Sensible little girl, don't you know.
Knows how to talk to fellow. don't
Won know. Knows how to listen to a
fellow. too. Thrown away on char
