A Division of Responsibility.

On the outskirts of one of our south
ern cities there used to be an old
colored blacksmith who did thriving
business, but who, in an evil hour, took
to himself young man as partner.
The money matters of the concern
soon became so involved that the old
man begged for release, but the
young man assured him that the law in
the case of partnership was SO peculiar
that it couldn't be broken. Six months
later, when the younger partner was
away, the old man consulted friend,
found out the truth, and nailed up the
following placard: The partnership
heretofore resisting between Micah
Davis and myself is now resolved. Wha
owes the firm will call on me. Wha

that he never will be. Now, although
Coussot has never done anything so
very remarkable, beyond writing some

verses. and posing with great success
as an art critic, wit, cynic, and leader
of fashion, yet he has "a vogue, and

1.-The Burial of Sir John MOORE

THE Burial of Sir John Moore"
was by Rev. Charles Wolfe. Nearly all
its incidents are incorrectly stated, as
the burial did not take place at night,
but by daylight, and the French, see
ing gathering in the cemetery, and
not knowing its purpose, opened fire
on it from battery and brought the
funeral services to a hasty conclusion.
The music is by John Burnett, an Eng

rought Shy Of the Trap.

Some years since, while hunting in
northern Michigan. tried, with the aid
of professional tIapper. to entrap a
fox who made nightly visits to spot
where tho entrails of deer had been
thrown. Although we tried every expe-
dent that suggested itself to rs, we
were unsuccessful, and. what seemed
very singular, we always found the trap
sprung. My 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 1
could badly credit his explanation. An
other year. in another locality Of tho
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

Looking Backward.

The superstition of the i'll luck Of

very ancient one. originating doubtless
from Lots wife. who looked back

an angel outside the doomed city Of the
plain. In Roberts Oriental Illustra-
tions" it is stated to be considered ex-
ceedingly unfortunate in Hindoostan for
men or women to look back when they
leave their house. Accordingly. if a
man goes out and leaves something be-
hind him which his wife knows he will
want. she does not call him to turn or
look back. but takes or sends it after
him, and If some great emergency obliges
him to look back he will not then pro-

Those familiar with the Fables Of
Esop' will remember the reputation
which Reynard bears among the rest of
the animals. 1t is questionable whether
any wild creature can compete with the
fox in craftiness. To look at him gen
orally, even in his ordinary habits, he
exhibits an amount of cleverness which
astonishes one. Should fox catch a
hedgehog, whose spines effeotually pro-
tect him from most of his enemies, he
does not waste time, as a fox terrier
will do. in endeavoring to worry his
prey. he merely rolls him to the near
est water. knowing that drop or two
will cause the animal to relax his hold.
1t is rare thing to catch one in a
trap laid at the door of his "earth"
even. If he is inside when the trap Is
set, he waits until some other animal
springs it and then energies to eat the
victim and the bait. Only when driven
by the terrible pangs of hunger will he
tempt fate In his own person. Most an
imals gorge themselves when they are
fortunate enough to come across a super
abundance of food. Not so with Reynard.

Napoleon and His Pipe.

Napoleon was a snuff taker in a mild
way, smelling of the tobacco rather
than shutting it, but never learned to
smoke Once only, according to his
valet, Constant, he tried pipe. The at
tempt. of which Constant gives hu.
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 masters 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. $50 his valet told him.
But" adds Constant, lat 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 1t,
which the valet did and returned the
pipe to his majesty. Napoleon took one
good puff and was SIS awkward this
time as before. The smoke got into his
windpipe, and instead of being expelled
through the mouth.it CAME out of the
uostrils and eyes. So Constant Gays ut
all events.
The emperor was nearly strangled,
and as soon as he recovered breath he
cried:
Take it away. The horrible thing
1t makes me sick.
1t was more than an hour before he
recovered his equanimity. and that was
the end of his career as smoker. -

In restaurants where women are en-

have no cash value anywhere, except

SO small that the problem of making

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

position. A complaint of customers

rebuked would more likely result in her

There are many men of an economical

largely due to the fact that at such
places they can refrain from tipping"

Weber said: 1.-The flesh of the horse
