An English Duke Receives a Tip.

The English journals mention an
amusing epilogue of pilgrimage to
Rome. Just after the last train which
brought the pilgrims back to London
had entered the Victoria station an old
lady burdened with packages was with
difficulty trying to find carriage when
a middle aged man, simply dressed, ap-
preached and offered his services.
Thinking she had to do with one Of
the employees, the good woman gave him
her bundles, which the obliging man
carried to the end of the station and
then, hailing a cab, placed the old lady
and her impedimenta within, and giving
the driver the address she had indicated,
called to him to drive ON. AS the car
riage was about to roll off the woman
placed fee of twopence in the hand of
the man who had rendered her the serv-
ice.
He was simply the Duke of Norfolk.
The duke pocketed the twopence, think
ing the adventure very original. More
over, it was the first time in his life that
he had ever earned any money by his
own labor,

A Much Travelled Volume,

In opening package of books wrapped
in tin, the custom house inspectors cut
with knife the binding, by Ruban, of a
"Poor Richard Almanack." The import
er made no claim for damage from the
government, paid the duty, returned the
book to Paris to be rebound and wrote
an ode to Diana of Poitiers, goddess of
book lovers, in gratitude for the miracu-
lous escape Of the text of his Almanack.
The book, rebound, came back fifteen
days ago. The owner supposes that it is
intact, but he does not know, and he
cannot learn even by paying the duty
again, for the official wants new in
voice, and the importer is naive enough
to think that he can persuade the official
that the first invoice, which is filed at
the custom house, accurately describes
the book on its fourth voyage across the
Atlantic. -New York Times.

Sine Cnnld nan nn Amerlcan.

A young Canadian woman told an Amer
lean, when he was in Canada, that she
could tell an American as far as she could
see him, by his manner, the cut of his
clothes and his general appearance. The
American confessed that he could not dis
tinguish an American from Canadian.
"Well," she said, there is a man over
there whom don't know, but do know
from his looks that he is an American. "
The other was not willing to give in that
he was beaten until it was conclusively
proved, so when an opportunity came they
listened to catch some of his words, in
order to decide the question by his accent.
This, too, proved unsatisfactory, and the
young woman, reckoning her brother to
come over to her, said; II wish you would
find out the name of that American stand
ing over there" What Americana asked
the brother 'The stout one, with the
gray beard and silk hat" she explained.
"Oh, pshawp replied the brother, don't
you know who that isf He's the post
master Of your own town." There was
neither low music nor a slow curtain, for
this all took place on a tennis field, but the
effect was just as good.-New York Trib-

Death Of a Noted Negro Woman.

Over the eastern branch of the Poto-
mac, in Anacosta, better known as Union
town during the war, there was buried
recently a woman whose story did much
to stimulate the antislavery sentiment
in the north She was a revelation of
the possibilities of patient negro ambi-
ton. Born fifty-six years ago, in Prince
George county, Md, she was a little
slave girl of six when her owner put her
out to service in Washington family.
At that age she began to hoard money to
buy her freedom. Year after year she
put by the pennies, for nothing larger
fell to her in tips.
She had collected 800 in coppers when
the attention of some of the public men
of that day was called to her. Hannibal
Hamlin, then in congress but afterward
vice president, became especially inter
ested. He told the story of Emeline
Belt with such pathos that $3.50 was con-
tributed by northern people. Then
series of entertainments was given to aid
her, and a few years before the war the
girl, grown to womanhood, was able to
hand over to her master 800 and receive
her freedom

Anescriptlon OF Klpling.

One of Rudyard Kipling's Brattle-
boro neighbors describes him, with
the fairness but the frankness of an
indignant New England woman, in
these plain terms: when l read his
scathing comments upon our Amer
lean ways and words, always think
to myself, That's pretty well for a
young man whose personal habits
are SO very far from pleasing or tidy.
But in conversation he does not of
fend in any such way as in print. He
saves all that for the Anglicans, who
want it. Really he is genial and
agreeable acquaintance, though at
first sight one would set him down
for-well, 1 think a tramp is about
as high in the social scale as Mr.. Kip
ing's appearance would warrant one
in placing him. New York Times.

About Orange you can hear number
less stories of Edison. Everybody likes
him. One man, who had for years been
in his employ as an experimentalist, told
of visit number of men-Jay Gould,
Sidney Dillon, Cyrus Field and others
paid to Edison at the laboratory one
day. Edison came out of his workroom,
where he was busy, and shook hands
with Mr.. Field. At that instant some
thing popped into his head apropos of
the experiment he was at work on. He
never gives an idea time to escape him.
Without word of excuse to the mag
mates, he turned on his heel and hurried
into his den again. They waited and
waited, and by and by, tired out with
delay, wendell their way down stairs.
Shortly afterward Edison came out and
asked:
where did those paupers go?"
"Down stairs.
did they walk?"

"That's right. 1 don't want 'em to

Then he stood around and told stories
to his men. He is a great man for
stories, and it is tradition among his
employees that they can tell him the
same story every day for week and he
will never tire of it. nor in fact show

rhe nendIr I,onnet pin.

But when will come the evolution Of

Model City to Be Built.

A Getty of the Future" such as Bel

Worlds fair of Paris, which is planned
for the year 1900.
The Inventions Nouvelles proposes a
departure from the usual toy arrange
ment of miniature models, Eiffel towers,

on a site sufficiently large to illustrate
practically all the most prominent new
inventions, as well as the fruits of mod

ing this future model city is to be COW
cred by renting out the houses, hotels,
ETC., as well as all the stores to the ex-

the entire site, with buildings, ETC., will
be utilized as the nucleus for a new

Naval Officers, Clothes.

American naval officers are men of
many clothes, and the official etiquette
of dress aboard ship is appalling to a
landsman. Every officer must have four
or five styles of hats and caps, at least as
many different kinds of coats, and even
prescribed styles of neckties in consider
able variety. The captain ordinarily
prescribes the uniform of the day, but
when flagship is within signaling dis
tancr of another man-of-war, the admiral
is the authority on clothes as on other
things. Blade.

An observant statistician makes the
amazing assertion that girls with re-

fortunate in catching good husbands
than young ladies whose features are of
the Greek or Roman type. Then there
may be method in the habit of some
young ladies of turning up their noses at
every man that approaches them.-Bos-

There is in Japan no kissing, not even

NEW YORK, June 1.-When the old New
York hotel was closed there was a free dis.
tribution of old Bibles placed in guests
rooms years before By the Bible society.
Johnnie Farrell, who had managed the
cafe for ten years, took one of the Bibles
home, and his wife discovered, in the back
cover, a marriage certificate which stated
that on a certain day in March, 1880, Anna

Ralph Preston, OF Richmond, Va, by the

had eloped.

a sacrilege. BY some strange fate copy

had placed her certificate of marriage in

thrown from upper windows. Some of
the older persons escaped by creeping on
the narrow ledge of the second story tothe
window of the next house. Two men
living in the rear of the burning building
got a blanket and used it as net in which
to catch the children dropped from the
windows above.
After the children had all safely been
dropped the older ones jumped. Hyman
Ehrenwost and his son, made the perilous
Jump in safety. but Mrs. Ehrenwost, who
was quite heavy, broke the blanket by her
great weight, and was severely injured.
