Singular Happening ira New York Is
Settled Only by Oaths.
, John Donco, a Hungarian, % years
old, says the New York Sun, lives
with bis wife Bertha on the second
floor of the tenement at 537 East One
Hundred and Eighteenth street. James
Big, a Hungarian carpenter, lives
across the hall. Big went home at 1
o'clock yesterday morning drunk.
Mrs. DoncO was in bed with the door
unlocked, because her husband was
out. Big drifted into the wrong room,
and went to bed without awakening
Mrs. Donco.
Two hours. later Donco returned.
Then there was a scene Mr.. Big and
Mrs. DOncO, who were both asleep
when Mr.. DOnco returned, protested
their entire ignorance of each others
presence in the room until awakened
by the indignant husband.
Finally, in response to his wife's
pleading, Donco asked:
"Will you swear it?"
"Yes," said the wife.
"And you?" asked Donco, turning to
Big.
"Certaiuly / will" Big said.
The three, with a 16-year-old girl to
act as interpreter went to Harlem
court yesterday, and Big and Mrs.
Donco, laying their hands on the court
Bible swOre that the husbands unto
ward discovery was entirely the result
of accident, and that they were limo
cent of any wrOngdOing.
The husband said he was convinced
and the three went home the best of
friends.

In military stables horses are known
to have pretended to be lame in order
to avoid going to military exercise. A
chimpauzee had been fed on cake
when sick; after his recovery he often
feigned coughing in order to procure
dainties. The cuckoo as is well known,
lays it's eggs in another birds nest,
and to make the deception surer it
takes away IL of the other birds
eggs. Animals are conscious of their
deceit, as shown by the fact that they
try to act secretly and noiselessly;
they show a sense of guilt if detected;
they take precautions in advance TO
avoid discovery; in some cases they
manifest regret and repentance. Thus
bees which steal hesitate often before
and after exploits, as if they feared
punishment. A naturalist describes
how his monkey committed theft;
while he pretended to sleep the ami
NAL regarded him with hesitation, and
stopped every time his master moved
or seemed on the point of awakening.

All Birds Are Useful.

M. de Parville, the French natural
list, lifts up his voice against the pro-
tocol of the International Commission
fer the Preservation of Birds in so far
as it condemns many species to de-
struction. All birds, he says, are use
full. The massacre of birds for the
hats of silly women must end in the
fitting over of natures balance in ia
vor of insects and worms. M. de Par
vile asks for the suppression of bird
markets. He counted in one Paris
bird market last May 200 nightin-
gales, hundreds of pinsons, charming
little songsters, peculiar to French
woods and fields, and 1000 finches.
Shiploads of quails are sent from
North Africa to France for the food
markets. The goura heron, and bird
of paradise are becoming rare. The
plover must soon disappear, it's wings
being a favOrite trimming for hats,
and it's eggs has also, when dried and
hardened great Industrial value, imi-
tation of meerschaum being made
with it. Japan is the only country
that shows itself alive to the value of
all birds. Every species is now pro-
tected in the nesting time. M. Pichet.
an authority on bird life, unites with
M. de Parville in demanding protec-
ton for all birds, in the nesting sea-
son. They are mans n auxiliary

The New York Dialecf,

The New York boy, city porn and
bred, can be detected in a moment by
the peculiar way in which he pro-
nOunceS the eur" sounds in such words
as birth, bird, earth and heard. All
the rest of the country pronounce
those words burth, burd, urth and
hurd. Not so the New Yorker. He is
carefully taught not to do so in a. the
public schools, as well as by his par
ents at home. The queer little twists
that enter so largely into the language
in marring one of the cardinal sounds
that compose it is thus expressed in
Gotham tongues: Ur-yith is how a
New Yorker says earth; hur-yid for
heard, and mur-yid-dur for murder.
Those of us who were born in New
York have heard the public school
teacher insisting upon this peculiar
twist. Most of us, too, have heard
nice, careful little girls on the way
home from school correcting careless
companions by insisting that "you
must not say burd; you must say it
nicely, buryid." The Southern man
who m to New York betrays his
nativity by calling Houston street
"HewstOn street as that name is pro-
nounced from Texas to the Chesa-
peake, but New Workers play as
strange a trick with another name;
for we call Coenties slip Quincy slip"
AS no one would do that naturally we
detect strangers by that pronuncia-
ton. The name of Hoboken is an
other that we trife with, calling il
Habucken, instead of as we should.
Put in ways and by words other than
these one can pick out a New Yorker
anywhere, whether it be in Boston or
in Chicago or in San Francisco.-New
York Commercial.

SPLINTER THROUGH THE BODY.
A Draughtsman Transfixed by q
Long Silver of Onk.

N ghtsman Trana6XPd by n
Long Silver of Oak.
A most extraordinary accident &C.
CURED at the works of the Globe COM
pany, manufacturers of filing cabinets
and office goods, recently. An oaken
splinter about eighteen inches in
length, was flung from a rapidly re-
volving rip say and forced through
the body of a young man, an employee,
who happened to be passing at the
moment. The victim was MI. George
f. KrOeger, a draughtsman for the
Globe File works, and his duties took
him into the room where the saw was
in operation to see how some certain
work was getting along. AS he en-
tered a piece of oak was being sawed,
and a wedge-shaped silver, about
eighteen inches long almost a sharp
point at n end, and an inch and a
half at the blunt end, was trimmed
off. KrOeger passed to the rear, with
his left side to the saw, at this in
slant.
Like a flash this silver was caught
up by the whirling saw and flung, just
missing the sawyer, and catching
young Kroeger. 1t caught him at the
left thigh, making a slight cut and
tearing in through the flesh, COM
pletely piercing the right leg at it's
juncture with the body, the iron-like
oaken point protruding through and
tearing his clothing.
Kroeger reeled from the force of the
awful blow, falling against the wall,
doubled together in his agony, and as
he tumbled his hands instinctively
sought the weapon of death, grasping
it with both hands, with a mighty
effort he pulled it out and flung it
from him, and rolled like a ball upon
the floor in an agony that cannot be
told in words. The alarm was given,
a doctor was sent for, and young
Kroeger was carried to the office. He
was unconscious all the while. His
wound was attended to as well as
could be hurriedly done. He then in
sisted upon being taken home, refus-
ing to go to the hospital. 4 cab was
secured and he was driven to his
home, 696 McMicken venue. Strange
to say, he rallied, and when visited in
the evening, he was doing well and
was without much pain. He will I'M
dcubtedly ecover. Had the hurt been
a half an inch higher death would

The French Pay the Highest.

At this moment, when the French
budget is being discussed in the Cham
Der, and when the ministry proposes
new taxes in order to face the deficit
of $4,000, 900 francs for the year 1896,
it may be interesting to note that
France is the country which now pays
the highest taxes. 1t has also the
largest debt of all at the rate of 662
francs per head of it's inhabitants.
The rate is AL francs in England; 365
in Austria-Hungary; $50 in Italy;
351 in Spain; 162 in Russia; 270 in
Germany, and 146 francs in the Unit
ed States. The standing national debt
of France amounts to 25,00O,0O0,00O
francs to which must be added the
special debt contracted by the depart
ments the cities and the communes or
townships.-New York Tribune.

woman's Greatest Charm.

J. am quite sure that men regard
"sweet simplicity as the greatest
charm in women, and especially in
girls. This does not mean simplcity
in the slmpering sense, but an absence
of that affected air of holiness and
m~annishness which has lately been as
sumed by too many really loveable
girls. Then, too, sincerity in express
sion is n of the characteristics that
charm men,. To be sincere and candid

not taken suddenly ill but on the con-
trary l can hardly state the exact time
when 1t began. The first symptoms
