Charley Tells the Judge Why His Talk
 in" and ''swearin" Don't Tally.
 What makes this story good is that 1t is true. A lawsuit involving a barge had been brought. The plaintiff aimed to prove that the barge was so i'll constructed that when it was launched the middle sank nearly five feet deeper than the ends They depended good deal on a colored man, who can be known as Charley, be- cause that was his name. Charley was known to have said on certain day that the barge had sunk fully five feet. Indeed he admitted as much to a lawyer who was attorney for the plaintiff. At the trial this was the way the questions and answers were put;
 Charley, how did the barge set on tho water when 1t was launched?'
 Set like duck, jedge-jes' like a duck.'
 But didn't you say on the 17th of last June that tho barge had sunk fully five feetP'
 II mout hev, jedge I mout hcv. :"
 Well, how does it happen, Charley, that on the 17th of last June you said the barge sank fully five feet, and now you say the barge floated like duck?"

The Ruin of the Chiffonnier.

The chiffonniers of Paris have lost their trade at least it has become so totally modified that they no longer pursue it in its ancient form. The waste and dirt from every house used to be poured out into the street before the front door each evening at or 10 o'clock, and the chiffonnier, with his lantern and his hook in his hands and his basket on his back, arrived at once and raked the heaps over to see what he could find in them, but it became forbid den either to throw the refuse into the street or to bring it out at night.
 It was prescribed that it should be car ried down in the early morning in box, which is placed, full, at the door and is emptied before Q o'clock into the dust carts, which go round each day. The chiffonniers, therefore, have no longer the opportunity of picking over the dirt, for it has ceased to offer itself in an accessible form. They have for the most part to carry on their trade after the refuse is dis charged from the carts at the depots, and consequently have almost disappeared from the streets They cannot be regarded as loss, for they were of necessity dirty and bad smelling and looked, as they prowled about with their dull lanterns in the dark, like specters of miserable evil ness; but, all the same, they were thor oughly typical of old Paris.-Blackwood' s Magazine

They Were Girls, and There Was a Base
 Intruder at the Meeting.
 It was the regular monthly meeting of the Murray Hill Girl Bachelors club. Miss Sophia Greengoggs had read her able paper on Man as Failure With Great Big F." Miss Passe had recited an orig inal poem entitled Waiting" not an old maids confession by any means, but the autobiography of a female waitress at the seaside Then followed touching song by Miss Highsee entitled "She Had to Darn Her Own Silk Hose Because Her Husband Wouldn't. :" After this came debate, "In Russian Tea Should It Be Four Fingers of Gin to One of Tea, or Vice Versaf" Then came thesis by a Boston poetess entitled Man as Woman's Stepping Stone to Higher Things"
 Then it was moved and seconded that the sergeantess at-arms expel and forever after exclude from tho sacred precincts of tho club everything male even to But tons' and the tomcat Felix. It was then resolved that woman was the only true inhcritor to tho privileges of the earth and that man had stolen her birthright that she alone was at once the wisest, most diplomatic and heroic of all the crea- turcs of the mundane sphere, tho only unQdulIeu anu lTuc ncIOl15 III all O2l- gencies and emergencies of life
 The resolution would have been fuish- ed and carried with overwhelming eclat had not at this very moment the presi- dent paused in the recitation, turned a deadly pallor, and shricking mounted chair Confusion reigned, four of tho her oines tainted, 19 others mounted tables and convenient furniture while two climbed up the chandelier just as wee little mouse scampered across the floor Instantly the sergeantess at-arms flourish ed a small poker above her head, and with that the little mouse made bee line for the nearest hole
 After quiet was restored the president put the following resolution: Resolved, That the reason the honorable body arose in such consternation with the advent of mouse in tho sacred precincts of this castle of femininity was not because 1t was q mouse, but because that mouse was of the opprobrious sex, which this estima- ble body has sworn to repudiate once and forever '
 But how do you know it was a man mousef" inquired one of the more coura- geous of tho council. Because he had whiskers?"
 "No,' replied the learned president "I knew it must be a male mouse because it was proved here that in his game with woman it only takes littlo poker to put him in a hole"
 There was a dead silence for ten seconds, and then the samovar exploded. York World.

A VISION IN GRAY.

the wcarcr's peck was ruff1e of feathers, white tipped, and on her head gray felt hat, with brace of green and gold wings and a twist of striped silk.
 Rack plush which the uninitiated would describe ns velvet, handsomely embroid- cred in jet, is fashionable material for mantles, and feather trimmings vie with fur for favor Marabout, with tufts of ostrich feathers at intervals, is formed into fringe with series of feather tails, bor- dering the mantle.
 Some of the shapes touch the ground Then there are all round cloaks, with one or two capes edged with fur. Others, again, take the form of pelisses, or double capes, three-quarter length. The pelisses, as rule, fit at the back and are loose in front, the sleeves being q portion of the cape. Sometimes plush mantles have long ends made of tho same and worked in jet.
 Ono of the most original capes is drab cloth, with circles all over it, cut out and embroidered, and a black paillette intro duccd into the center of each wafer.
 It goes without saying that these are all veritablc "robes de luxe," in which, after all, lies the very best source of inspiration for clever and tasty woman in search of good ideas of dress
 Less costly garments take tho form of long cloth capes, many of them brown, with mink collars, or some of the many fancy woolens, which are corded or bro- caded, while others resemble matelasse. Then there are cloth jackets, double breast ed, with large sleeves and large revers, and - plenty of round mantles with strapped seams.
 Very charming looks youthful wearer in toilet that may do duty as reception or high necked theater gown. The skirt IS of glace silk in pale but bright tone of turquoise, striped with black lines from waist to hem, the bodice of blue crepe de chine, gathered into a corselet of jet, large jet buttons securing it round tho left shoulder. As usual, however, the sleeves are the important feature. You will ob- serve that the puff begins not at the shoulder, but beneath fiat folded band of the crape, ballooning out over the elbow and disappearing into deep cuff of jet. From this to the sloping shoulder of which our grandmothers were so erro-
