Too Good 9 Loke.

Lord Bowen, an English judge, was once tempted to sum up ironically. It was the case of q burglar who had been caught, having entered from the roof and taken the precaution to leave his boots on top. His defense was that he was in the habit of taking midnight strolls on the roofs of houses, and that he was tempted by curiosity to have a look at one of the interiors. Lord Bowen said, sarcastically: If. gentle men of the jury, yon think it probable that the prisoner considered the roofs of the houses a salubrions place for an evening walk; if you suppose that the temptation to inspect the interior of the houses beneath him was the out come of a natural and pardonable curi- osity, in that case, of course; you will acquit him, and regard him as a thoughtful and considerate man, who would naturally remove his boots be- fore entering the house, and take every precaution not to disturb his neighbors.n To the judges amazement, the jury took him at his word and ac- quilted the prisoner. Lord Bowen never attempted to joke with . iury again,

ALI-5EN-ALI, THE CoBELER.
How He Lost His Wives and His Faith st
 the Samc Time.

Ali-Ben-Ali was and is renegade. He believes in three gods, and drinks spirits of wine, corn and rye. He also believes that women have souls and that, while there are many houris in heaven, there are more in hell. When the muezzin calls to prayer he puts his thumb to his nose and spreads his fin gers out, which is his Turkish way of expressing derision. Once upon time hc owned seven slaves, four of whom were white, Great men were his friends. Now he cobbles shoes, says Vance Thompson in the New York Ad vcrtiscr.
 He might have been happy man to this day had it not been for that devil of an Alcibiades. Ali-ben-Ali was sit ting on his feet, looking through the open door out on the blue waters of the Bosporus and the low sandy shore beyond when the Greek came up. He was 6 low-browed Creek. He was peddling slippers with long red points which curled over like rams horns. Ali was absorbed in thinking of his seven female Slaves. He kicked the Greek in the back violently two or three times. but otherwise ignored his presence.
 The subtle Greek departed. Under his low brow he devised this revenge He wrote letter to the sultan.
 Wen see about this.' said the sul- tan. "Mesrour, off with Ben Ais head and bring me his seven nice wives"
 Mesrour returned in half an hour, the seven slaves, of whom four were white, trailing after him,
 Ben Ali is dead" he said.
 Mesrour lied. Ben Ali. by bribes, had secured his escape and. disguised as bale of tobacco, was stored away in hold of vessel bound for New York He is in New York now to prove that this tale is no lie. He cobbles shoes. At times he drinks strong spirits Then he curses the com nander of the faithful and Alcibiades, the low-browed Greek. The sultan is ! Mohammedan. and him Ben Ah curses: the Greek is a Christian and is cursed of Ben Ali.

Sixty Miles of Locusts.

The African Steamship company's steamer Winnebah, which lately ar rived from West Africa at Liverpool, had a most unusual experience when stealning between the attitudes of Cape Verde and St. Louis, Senegal. Tor sixty miles the vessel steamed through locusts, which were so thickiy packed together on the top of the water that they completely covered the surface for miles around. Indeed, they appeared to be lying on the sea as far as the eye could reach. The locusts had no doubt been blown from the Morocco coast into the sea. They resembled gigantic grasshoppers, and one which was secured was five inches in length Of course, all of the locusts had heen drowned.

They Escape the Net Spread for Them by
 Narrowing in the Mud.
 The following is fair sample of how cunningly crocediles, in common with all other wild animals, can conceal themselves in moments Of danger. says the Westminster Gazette. After a happy week spent in the jungle with a friend of mine we halted for break fast, before making the last stage for headquarters and home. at a place called Poonarhyn-Anglice, garden of fowers-and while at breakfas' were amused by watching a number of croc- odiles, about eight or ten, stunning themselves on the surface of small lake, or tank. as it is there called, of ahou. an acre in extent. 1 sudden thought struck me.
 1T say, Murray, what fun it would be to try and catch some of these beggars in a net" ''Bravo." said he. Lets try it presently. Appu, send the horse keeper to the village and tell him to bring up all the men he can find and some long fishing nets. We will give good santosum" (present).
 The villagers scented some fun, and with the further stimulus of santo sum very soon turned up to the num- Der of thirty. It was now eleven o'clock and scorching hot, the air quivering over the bare, sandy plain in which the pond was situated. It was breast deep, as we knew, including about one foot or eighteen inches of heavy mud. We tied two nets together so as to make one long enough to reach across the tank, about thirty yards, and this was heavily weighted along the bot tom and arranged to be drawn with long ropes from each shore.
 Immediately behind the net came a line, and men about yard apart, with long, pointed poles with which to prod the mud along the bottom of the net, and So drive the malingering gentle men into proper position in front of the net. My friend and his servant (for all entered into the sport) fol- lowed close up to the second line.
 At it we all now went, splashing, shouting. stamping and hauling, but big but-not a sign did we find of a single one of the brutes that we had seen before us when we came to the edge of the water We dragged that water backward and forward more than once, but our only reward was a deadly thirst that lasted us till late that night.
 They had burrowed deeper into the mud than we could reach them, for nothing-I doubt if even rat-could have escaped unseen out of the water

Corizs as Fuel.

With every indication that coal is going up it is timely to suggest that a couple of girls in Paris used to keep themselves warm by burning orange peel and empty spools. Corl1s are also recommended. There is q story told of well-known English curate who pock- eted every cork he came across at a dinner table. When questioned as to this singular habit he b1ushed and said he gave them to the poor. A sufficient number of corlls would keep a coalless man with good fire all day. Fir cones are also advised, and make a fine. eheerv blaze: likewise corncobs.

Reduced to the Ran Ks.

Different ideas exist in England from those prevalent in Germany with regard to the attitude to be adopted by soldiers toward escaping prisoners. Whereas Emperor William some time ago aroused much unpleasant com rnent by promoting a corporal who had shot at and killed in crowded street an escaping prisoner, at Wool rich sergeant and a corporal have just been reduced to the ranks and sentenced to a months imprisonment for having discharged their carbines, without injury to anybody, in public thoroughfare at deserter who had broken away from them.

 Year to the Liquidation Of Debts.
 Nobody in Germany has felt the evil effects of the agricultural depression more keenly than has Bismarck. To persons who have read of the magnifr cent presents given to Bismarck by the old emperor it has been a surprise to learn recently that his estates are heavily mortgaged. His present from the old emperor after the Austro-PruS- sian war of 1866 was $500, 900, and with this sum he bought his palace at Var zin. After the Franco-Prussian war he received from the same hands the Saxon forest at Friedrichsruhe, valued at S750, GOO. He inherited the ancestral estate at Schoenhausen. On April l, 1885, Bismarcl's seventieth birthday, his admirers throughout the world gave him that portion of the Schoen- hausen property which his father had been obliged to sell when times wero hard. The money value of the gift was some S400,000 Bismarck is also distiller, forester and the owner of a large brick yard. Despite all these ad- VantageS, however, says d WTtuer III tle Home Journal, he has found 1t inpossi- ble to lift the mortgages, amounting to about $750,000, which have incumbered his estates for many years. Of his gross income more than S32, ,000 must be devoted every year to paying the in- terest on his debts. The burden is not agreeable to the old chancellor, and he I,oc of+aO reoarlxnd 4O hic friandS ca- gently that his ambition to leave an unincumbered property to his children would never be gretified.

Tn the Russian army there is one particular regiment of infantry of the guards formed by Emperor Paul, tue men of which are recruited, not so much with regard to their height CT the color of their hair and complications as to tho shape of their noses. Elm peror Paul had a typical I<almuk nose of the most exeruciatingly up-tilted pattern, and since then, out of con- pliment to hin, all of the officers and men of this particular regiment have noses of the same shape, the sight which they present ol parade being somewhat startling.
