DruniZarus In Denmark,

The police in Denmark havea Gu
rious way of dealing with the drunk
and incapable found in the streets.
They summon cab and place the
patient inside it, then drive to the
station, where he gets sober, then
homo, where he arrives sober and
sad. The agents never leave him
till they have seen him safe in the
family bosom. Then the cabman
makes his charge, and the police
surgeon makes his, and the agents
make their own claim for special
duty, and this bill is presented to
the host of the establishment where
tho culprit TOOK his last overpower-
ing glass.
The publioans, however, have in
several towns protested against this
system. They say the proofs are
often insufficient and the police sur,
geons too summary in their exami-
nation; further, that many notorious
evildoers sham drunk in order to
get the landlord into trouble. They
therefore claim that they shall have
their own doctor to examine certain
cases and defend the publican inter
est. London Standard.

Kussian Superstition.

A professor who visited tho Rus

pose Of making anthropometrio
studies Of the local inhabitants mar
rowly escaped with his life. The
measurement Of the heads gave rise
to the conviction that he was the
devil in person affixing his seal to
their foreheads, and the more cour-
ageous among them resolved to at
tack him and if possible to destroy
him. Fortunately the ispraynik of
the district prevented the Infatuated
peasants from carrying out their in
tentions.

Romn With tho Children.

"Chauncey Depew advised fellow
diners recently to join with their
children in their play and romp
with them if they would enjoy life, !"
said young father recently. "Well,
I took his advice" he continued,
"but I find that my little boy Of 8
years can stand good deal more
than I can.
'..He led me a merry dance this
morning playing hide and seek all
over the house. When, after an
hour, told him we had had enough
of that, he proposed something else
and SO on until I was on the point of
collapse.

children, but you should get into

The SInaI } Boarder.

1t doesn't pay to be too funny. A
man who formerly boarded at a
Maine hotel used always to call for
cold hen" when he saw chicken on
the bill of fare. The table girl and
cook thereupon prepared for him,
and Whenever chicken was served
an old hen also was provided, and
this particular boarder always got a
generous piece of that After this
order of things had continued for
three months without the boarder
suspecting the joke, one day he called
the waitress to him and told her he
was getting sick of old hens, and
he'd like to have a taste of chicken.
Very we'll, y was the reply, you
can have it, but you ordered old hen
regularly, and as this house always
pleases its guests when it is possible
we've been giving you what you or
dered. Phillips Photograph.

rronol or Encltsh E.andscane2

In Franco English painters have,
broadly speaking, learned their bust
ness. They have imbibed Gallo
prejudices and learned to treat ma
tura in the manner Of French artists
and dwell upon the peoulialities
which those artists, have developed
from the study of a country which
is essentially different in color, at
mosphere and significance from our
own. And then they have returned
to England, and settling at Newlyn
or elsewhere have endeavored to see
England through French spectaclas
and have produced such q queer,
hybrid hotch potch of the two coun-
tries as never yet mortal man re-
joiced in.
All this, I am sorry to say, has
been hailed with tho utmost jour
nalistic enthusiasm. 1t was novel
it was foreign; it was enlightened
it was, in fact. everything which a
writer, properly Disguised with his
country and properly regardless OF
the traditions of his country's art,
would most admire. And I confess
that absolute success seems at the
present moment to have attended
the propaganda. l walked through
the Royal academy with tolerable
care twice recently, and though
saw, as I always do see, much that
was fine and interesting hardly saw
one single landscape painted in the
old English manner.-Harry guile,
in National Review.
