WHARF He Got II,

The little son Of we'll known ply
stefan was entertaining playmate at
his fathers house. As children will,
they ransacked every nook and corner Of
the building. Their curiosit1 led them
to explore the recesses Of closet, In
which the doctor keeps his Instruments
and other personal effects, among which
is complete skeleton. Tho strange boy
was frightened when he first beheld the
grinning remnant Of what once had been
a humanSbeing and started 10 run AWAY.
The DOCTORS son, however, had seen the
skeleton so often that he entertained for
it only that feeling Of contempt beeot-
ten by familiarity, and In d littlelwhile
succeeded in so alaying the fears of his
companion that the youngster began to
handle the thing and rattle it's dry bones.
Where did your father get Ait9" he
finally asked. II don't know. was the
reply. "but I guess it was his first pa
tient, for he's had it an awful long
time Butte Miner.

Napoleon and His Pipe.

Napoleon was snuff taker in a mild
way, smelling of the tobacco rather
than snufing it, but never learned to
smoke. Once only, according to his
valet, Constant, he tried pipe. The at
tempt, of which Constant gives hui
morous account, was on this wise:
An eastern ambassador, Persian or
Turkish, had presented the emperor
with handsome oriental pipe, and one
day the fancy took him to use it. Con-
slant, at his MASTER request, got every
thing in readiness and applied the fire.
1t remained, of course, for the emperor
to set the tobacco alight by drawing in
his breath. So his valet told him.
"But," adds Constant, "at the rate
his majesty went to work the thing
would never be DONE He contented
himself with opening and shutting his
lips without breathing the least in the
world"
Finally he put the pipe into the Wallets
hands and commanded him to light it,
which the valet did and returned the
pipe to his majesty. Napoleon took one
good puff and was as awkward this
time as before. The smoke got into his
windpipe, and instead Of being expelled
through the mouth it came out Of the
nostrils and eyes. So Constant says at
all events !
The emperor was nearly strangled,
and as soon as he recovered breath he
cried: 4 y u.
'Take it away. The horrible thingl
It makes me sick.
It was more than an hour before he
recovered his equanimity, and that was
the end Of his career as 9 smoker. -

Fought Shy of the Trap.

Some years since, while hunting in
northern Michigan, I tried, with the aid
of q professional .trapper. to entrap a
.foxzwho made. nightly visits to spot
where the entrails of a deer had been
thrown. Although we tried every expe-
dent that suggested itself to us, we
were unsuccessful, and, what seemed
very singular, we always found the trap
sprung Ny companion insisted that the
animal dug beneath it, and putting his
paw beneath the jaw pushed down the
pan with safety to himself, but though
the appearance, seemed to confirm it I
could badly credit his explanation Ans
other year, in another locality Of the
same region, an old and experienced
'trapper assured me Of its correctness and
said in confirmation that he had several
times caught them, after they had made
two or three successful attempts to
spring the trap, BY the simple expedient
Of setting it upside down, when, Of
course, the act of undermining and
touching the pan would bring the paw
within the grasp of the jaws.-Mr. Gre

They Get Only Smiles and smirks From
| Mem at Restaurants. na'u ~
In restaurants where women are en-
ployed as walters the average man seems
to be Of the opinion that smiles or
smirks are tantamount to tips" al
though they cost the giver nothing and
have no cash value anywhere, except
perhaps as elements to be considered in
estimating damage in breach of promise
suits Why man should consider it
more or less obligatory on him to give
gratuity to the man who waits upon
him, be he white or colored, while his
conscience relieves him Of all such obi
cations when a woman performs a SIM
liar service for him, is one of those mys-
teries which the feminine mind is in
capable of solving. l have conversed
with several mattresses" on the sub
ject, and they have always told me that
they would infinitely prefer dimes to
smiles, more especially as their pay is
so small that the problem OF making
both ends meet is for them particular
ly hard one
1t may be said in defense Of mascu-
line custom in this matter that the con-
duct Of the recipients Of these amatory
demonstrations would justify the opin-
ion that they prefer them to small Pc
cuniary emoluments, but the cruel fact
is that the girl employed in restau-
rant who doesn't act more or less as a
flirt stands no chance of retaining her
position. A complaint Of a customers
familiarity instead of causing him to be
rebuked would more likely result in her
own dismissal It ism t alone for wait
ing that she is paid. She is expected to
make herself attractive. y r '15 .
There are many men Of an economical
turn Of mind whose patronage Of restau-
rants where women are employed is
largely due to the fact that at such
places they can refrain from Tipping
without being suspected Of meanness.
And a dime saved is 90 cents earned.
But all the same woman, who waits
on table in restaurant is just as
much entitled to tip as q man, and
the fact that she doesn It get it is only an
other link in the chain Of evidence which
shows that the average man will always
take advantage Of a woman in pecuniary
matters if he gets chance-that is to
say, for doing the same thing he will
always pay woman less than he will

Tho Middle Temples Secret.

While making some alterations in
Middle Temple hall for the installation
of the electric light into that stately
edifice the workmen found a box con-
cealed, in a recess Of the wall near the
roof. It was opened; and in it they saw
a skeleton in perfect state OF preserva-
ton. From the appearance Of the bones
it must have lain hidden there for q con.
siderable time-perhaps a couple Of GEN.
turtles or more. Whether the skeleton be
that of lawyer or client cannot now
be ascertained, or it may even be an os-
seous framework which has been used
in an atonical demonstration to Illus
trate how much the law can take out OF
a man. What the skeleton was in life
and how it got into the box in Middle
Temple hall are mysteries. London
