TERRIBLE Triple.
The Awful Mistake of Some Liquor-Lovins
.. LabOrera

The Awful Mistake OF Some Liquor-LovIns
Laborers.
Some years ago, said the roadmaster
OF an up-country, reports the New
York World, "a curious thing han
pened in the freight shed here which
scared the boys terribly. We received
large shipments of whisky which are
unloaded at the junction from one
road and transferred to another. The
barrels generally lie in the freight
shed day or two before they are put
on board. 1t is an old trick among
freight handlers to knock hoop a little
out OF place and bore hole in thewhisky
barrel. After generously sampling the
contents the hole is plugged up and
the hoop knocked into place again. The
companies often complain of shortage,
but proof of the milking as they cali
it, is very hard to obtain.
"a cask came in one day which un-
mistakably contained whisky, and ow-
ing to the irregularity Of the address it
was held for instructions. For several
days it lay in the freight shed, and by
means of a small hole and straw the
barrel-pushers soon tested the liquor it
contained. ALI of them considered the
flavor to be remarkably fine. Finally
one of the more reckless said: ''Say,
boys, this barrel will never be claimed.
Let's smash in the head The others
soon agreed, and in jiffy one of the
men broke in the head with a hatchet.
My Godr he shouted, there's man
insider and he fell in faint beside the
barrel
"'Whatp yelled the others, and they
all made rush to the cask. Sure
enough, there was man inside, stark
naked ard with the top of his head
neatly removed, showing the brain.
SGlIe medical students had shipped the
body in barrel of alcohol to a medical
professor, and by an error in address
ing it the barrel was detained.
''Well, this was better than any pun
ishment for the whisky-stealers. That
little thing saved the whisky-shippers
many hundreds of dollars, for not a
man has since sampled any spirit casks.
It was little too much for them"

MIXED THE BABIES.
Mothers Who Loved to Dance We're Dis

Mothers Who Loved to Dance We're Dis
tracted for n Week.
Some time ago there was dance in
a Canadian settlement for the benefit of
the settlers and their wives. Most of
the married ladies had babies with
them, whose noisy pervcrsity required
too much attention to allow the ladies
the full swing of their souls pleasure
in the dance. So a number of young
men present gallantly volunteered to
watch over the refractory infants, SO
that their mothers could indulge with
out let or hindrance in the sweets of
the eight fantastic" exercise.
The gallant offer was readily and
confdingly accepted, but no sooner had
the women left their dear charges to
the care of those mischievous young
rascals than they commenced stuffing
the infants, changing the clothing and
giving one the apparel of another until
they were transmogrifed.
The dance and the music continued
into the ''wee sma' hours and then it
was time to go home. The lights were
lowered and each mother hurriedly
took q baby, in the dress of her own,
and started for home, which, in many
instances, was fifteen miles away.
The following morning there was a
prodigious row in the settlement.
Mothers discovered what had occurred,
and then commenced some of the tall
est female pedestrianism on record.
Living as they did miles apart, it re-
quired two full days to unmix the ba-
bies and as many months to restore the
mothers to their naturally sweet dispo-
sitions. Those young men never vent
ure into that settlement now. It
wouldn't be safe.

HE IS AN EYGLISHMAN.

Englishmen are apt to know their
 rights and insist upon them even if they are married, and an Englishman
 has just set himself against Woman in a way that will make him famous
 if he is able to go on as he has begun.
 His wife is 8 member of the West End
 Women's club, and she was to read paper at certain meeting of the
 club just like man. Her husband came home the evening of the meeting and found her all ready to start for the club with her paper. He felt that he must awake and arise or be forever fallen. So he began to talk to her about the duties of Woman. He soon found that she knew more about them than he did and could out-talk him. Then he issued his ultimatum, and it was an ultimatum which has brought many good man down. He told her that if she was not at home by il o'clock he should return to his mother tAiS AAS<Ab AANCA liAAitos i9AiI "IliL " tiiV meeting intending to maintain the sacred cause of Woman, but she weak ened and was at home at Il, without having read her paper. What her husband said when she came home is not on record, but it is probable that he said that it was better to please her dear husband than the West End Women's club. But the West End Women's club feels that it has been trifed with and refuses to accept the explanation of the woman who preferred to disappoint it rather than allow her husband to re- turn to the maternal roof
 If the example set by this sturdy Englishman is generally followed the hand on the dial of progress will re- ceive a decided setback. It has seemed all right for women to go home to their mothers when displeased, but if men take to doing the same thing there will either be much more or much | less emancipation.

A Tat woman's Dilemma.
From the Phllad elphia Record.l


 Among the passengers on Bryn Mawr accommodation train few days ago was a very stout old lady. She occupied an entire seat, because there was no room beside her for anyone else. She looked worried. Finally, when the train was nearing Haverford station, she leaned over and tapped the should CT of young man in front of her. Pardon me, young man." she said; ''can you tell me what the next sta tion is?'
 'Haverford, ma a'am."
 Well, young man." she continued, when we get there will you help me off the train?'
 The young man expressed his will lingness to do her that service, but he looked so surprised that the old lady made an explanation.
 T wouldn't ask your assistance, young man." she said, "but tried to get off two stations back, and couldn't. You see, am so stout that I have to get down the platform steps backward. The conductor saw me, unfortunately, and thinking from my position that was just boarding the train, he helped me on again.

cIYILTZ1T7ON TN JAPAN.

| The way Japan is licking China indi-
 cates that she is highly civilized na-
 ton, and if any more evidence that she is is needed it can be found in the way
 her victories were celebrated at Tokio
 the other day. The thing couldn't have
 been better done in "the land of the | free and the home of the brave" On l the day of the performance long excur-
 sion trains ran into Tokio. An inn mense procession marched four miles,
 the van reaching the disbanding point was completed. Purchasers of 175, GOO tickets were admitted to the park where the celebration proper occurred. Guilds. schools, employees of factories and mer- cantile houses marched in the process sion, as also high officials, chambers of commerce, deputies from the interior, and groups of masqueraders. There was music by bands, blowing of horns and of conch shells, and all kinds of noisy demonstrations. Hotels over flowed with guests, and many private houses were thrown open to the public. The marching column sang an ode, Flag of the morning sum-" written and composed by Japanese poet. There was an immense triumphal arch of evergreens and yellow chrysanthe- nuns, the latter worked into the in- scription, May the empire live for ever." There was huge open air altar on which the patriotic people piled their offerings, and around which relays of priests offered ceaseless prayers until
