"A Woman's Age Sacred.

in a. case before a Paris court, III
which a popular actress had to appear
as a witness, the judge seemed to have
shown considerable, difidence about
asking the lady, as he was in duty
bound to do, what was her age.
Evidently he considered that such a
question put to a witness would be a
direct Indictment to perjury, so he
asked her her age before she had been
sworn.
How old are you, madame?" he
said.
After a little hesitation the lady
owned to being 20 years old.
And now that you have told the
court your age, " continued the gallant
judge, "you swear to tell the truth,
the whole truth and nothing but the
truth. -Pearson's Weekly.

bags of. decayed fruit, and when the
sisters appeared on the stage they were
made the target Of these fellows, who
soon. drove them, back behind the wings.

The audience was then dismissed, the

TO ABOLISH INDIAN SCHOOLS.

interested parties by the last annual re-

come to white children by the adoption

one, will take place during the coming

Hook, teaching aud explaining to him
the new method Of multiplication. We
had scarce half score mugs Of ale and
my head was clear as bell when I saw
a gray closked figure hastily enter the
door Of the Wursthaus. = ~
"You will agree, Herr Won Schneist,
that it is my bounden duty to search
your premises?" quoth the captain. T
"Assuredly, herr captain" he re-
piled, "but before you begin will
serve you and your men with some of
my new ale." Without giving them
time to answer he hust led toward the
big bait in the dark corner and straight
way dispensed generous measure OF the
beverage to them. Not having such high
opinions of the power Of his satanic
majesty as the citizens, they quaffed it
down, but pronounced it stale and flat.
Then began a scene Of turmoil and
confusion, enough to make the vrouw's
heart break with anguish. But though
the iron bound linen chest was turned
upside down and emptied of its contents
in an unseemly manner, and though
closets were upturned, beds overthrown
and the whole house pulled out at cor.
ners, she never murmured or complained.
But nothing was found, and though
the taproor, was lightly passed over
there was no place in it that man
could hide-except possibly the big butt
in the dark corner. That, however, was
full of ale-for had they not drank some
Of it?
And so the watch marched away emp
ty handed. and left to the host and his
vrouw the task Of putting things to
rights.
The gray cloaked demon was seen
several times thereafter, but no con-
certed attempt was made to follow it
up About two months from the time
of the fruitless search the few faithful
adherents of the Wursthaus noted that
both Hans and his wife wore very grave
faces. In a few days they announced
that young traveller from Boston was
dangerously ill in the darkened bedroom
up stairs, and the Dutch physician
who had but just arrived from Holland
was sent for. He came again and
again, and the faces Of the worthy
couple showed deep sympathy for the
youthful guest. Finally the doctor came
in the middle of the night and staid till
morning, but the soul Of his patient fled
before the dawn.
Heavy grief o'erhung the schneist
household, and the Wursthaus was
closed till after the funeral. Even then
old Hans showed settled grief in his
altered demeanor.
Observant neighbors noted that the
big butt in the corner was never used
after the soldiers drank from it, and
when few months had sped, and CON-
parsons came to be made it was found
that the gray cloaked phantom had
never been seen since the young stranger
was taken sick. 1t was also commented
upon that no, one came from Boston to
inquire about him. But there was a
many who believed till their dying day
that it was genuine ghost that had
been seen by Jacob Twiller ct al, Gid

Heavy firing in the barracks drew an
immense crowd which was ordered to

it was impossible to move quickly and
the impatient officers ordered the troops
to charge bayonets, which they did.
but, meeting with resistance, and five
shots being fired from the crowd, the
troops began firing upon the people. A
regular battle ensued and the crowd,
being unarmed, were obliged to fee,
leaving % killed and wounded. The
cause of the firing in the barracks was
that part Of the guard had attempted to
desert and resisted when arrested.
Fourteen were shot.
