LOST ONLY ONE PAIR.
UoA Who Leased States Told Tha1keeoy ,

1aa Who Lsased States Told Thaskorsy ,
Of But One Loss.
Thackeray once asked one OF the men
who lets out skates on the Scrpcntine
whether he had ever lost pair through
the omission to exact a deposit, and he
replied that he had never done so ex-
cept on one occasion, when the circurn-
stances made It almost pardonable. A
well-drcssed young fellow was having
his second skate fastened ON when he
suddenly broke away from the mans
hands and dashed on to the ice. The
next instant thick-set, powerful man
was clamoring for another pair. II
shall nab him now" he cried, ''for lam
. dab at skating" He was a sheriff. a
officer in pursuit of his prey, and very
animating sight it was to watch the
chase. He was, as he had boosted, .
first-rate skater, and it became present
ly obvious that he was running down
his man. Then the young fellow de-
tcrmined to run desperate risk for
liberty. The ice, a. usual, under the
bridge was marked dangerous" and
he made for It 1T hcadlong speed. The
ico bent beneath his weight, but he got
safely through. The sheriffs officer
followed with equal pluck. but, being .
heavier man, broke through and was
drowned. ssHis skates" said the mar
rator Of the incident, II got back after
the inquest, but those the young gem
tleman had on never saw again"

A very fine specimen Of the Kurdish

Of fifty-scven persons, who live in the
lap of luxury and feed on the fat of the

do any work, they keep twenty domes-
tic servants. They have no corn fields,
says the London Telegraph, no agri-
culture, NO anything but thirty Arab
stceds Of their own. The Armcnians
must provide the rest In spring Khallo
summons his dependents and dispatches
them on series of predatory expedi-
tions. They risk their lives, drive OF
herds of Armenian sheep, oxen, horses,
seize upon carpets and money, violate
women and girls, and return home al
ways laden with booty and sometimes
reduced in numbers 1t is not long

There turned up at Hamilton, in the
Bermudas, the other day, company Of
several hundred British tourists, includ-
ing Sir Arthur Sullivan and many
musical and literary folks of some dis
tinction. They were sorry and be.
draggled crowd, and their appearance
was partly explained by the fact that
they had left six weeks washing
ashore at one of the far-down islands
and had come away withont IT,, so that
everybody was 1T q low ebb of linen.
They were cheered with the hope that
the British cruiser Blake, whose cap
tain had promised to fetch up the miss
ing garments, would soon arrive in the
harbor. This hope was disappointed.

A STRANGE ORNAMENT.
The Eaieos TAsvxAs e Wa the Artists
Wheel

Wheel
An amusing little incident, connected
with the celebrated George Cruikshank,
is related by Edmund Yates in his
Fifty Years of London Life" It was
ut the time that Mr.. Frank Smcdley
was editor of periodical called Cruik-
shank's Magazine, which Aourished
only short time.
Mr.. Yates says that an interview be-
tween Crtikshank and Smedley was q
very comic sight for looker-on. The
old artist would bounce about the
room, illustrating by violent action and
gesture everything he said, wholly un-
restrained by fear of becoming gro
tesque. The little editor, screwed up
in his wheel chair, peered at his visitor
out Of the corners Of his small eyes, and
strongly appreciated every item Of the
performance.
Zone warm morning." says Mr.. Yates,
"Cruilkshank arrived in Jermyn street,
and pulled q chair in front of Smcd-
ley's desk, being evidently full of bust
ness. The old mans chevelurc in his
later days was always of an extraordi-
nary kind, long wisps of gray hair
being brought from the back of his
head over the scalp, and secured there
with narrow elastic band; but in adj
dition to this, on this occasion, Smed
ley perceived that Cruikshank had a
small perforated bone wheel fixed in
the center of his forehead.
$50 fascinated was Smedley by this
extraordinary sight that he could not
withdraw his eyes from it; and at last
Cruikshanls, finding his hosts gaze
stonily fixed on one spot throughout
the interview, testify demanded what
he was staring at.
Nothing replied smedlcy, trying
to excuse himself; but Immediately
after the little wheel became detached
and fell on the floor.
"'You'tc dropped something said
Cruikshank, poking after it with his
stick.
"'I? No, you,' said his host.
"'Eonsensev cried the irascible
George, who had now picked it up.
Nonsense! What do you think could
do with thing like this?'
"'All l know is that for the last half
hour it has been sticking in the middle
of your foreh ead,' returned Frank.
Impossible, sir! quite impossiblc!'
reared Cruikshank.
Eventually it. appeared that the
little wheel was venti]ator, which
had slipped from its original position in
the crown of Cruikshank's hat, and
stuck with the heat on his forehead"

TWO BIG EATERS.
4 Brother and Sister Who Performed
Prodlejous 0astronomic Fsst&

A Brother and sister Who PsrformsA
Prodlsious Gastronomic Fsat&
One of the odd characters described
by Gen. Thiebault in his memoirs Is .
young man named Schmitz big
Schmitx" he was commonly called on
account of his extraordinary physique-
six feet two inches in height and enor-
mously stout. He could not ride in any
ordinary carriage, and in the houses
where he was accustomed to visit
special chairs were provided for him.
In the house of Thiebault's father such
q chair was kept in the dining-roon
and another in the parlor. Big Schni.z
and q companion were once driving 70
Berlin when their carriage broke down
and the second man went to the .nc2rcst
village in quest of some one to repair
it. Unhappily, 1t was Sunday, ,.and no
one was willing to work.
In this dilemma the young man re-
sorted to trick. He said to the work
men:
81 am carrying to the king giant.
My instructions are toilet no one sec
him on the way; but we must get to the
city, and if you will come and repair
the carriage, will show him to you"
The workmen hastened to see the
wonder, and so far as appears were not
disappointed when the giant" was pre-
duced.
Gen. Thiebault declares that at the
table Schmitz was obliged to sit at en-
angle, other wise he could not get near
enough to it to reach his plate. 1t was
well understood, also, that in company
he must be put with the greatest eat
ers and drinkers, so that he might eat
something like as much as he needed
without being put to shame. When he
had his own way he would sit at the
table three or four hours.
He had q sister who was also very
tall and stout and a prodigy with the
knife and fork. Thiebault tells for
true the story that once on setting out
for a drive for few miles she put inc
the carriage basket con tanning Sky
four hard-boiled eggs
Having. nothing else to do she began
to nibble an egg, and at the end of thc
drive, which could not have taken moo
than an hour or two, she had eaten,
without drink of any kind, the whole
sixty-four eggs! And, according to the
story, she was not made sick!

ROAST BEEF OF OLD ENGLAND.

AAar1eaa Aoo4 11oaasg CompotitIon fron
Colsaial aad Oshsr soarees.
Whence comes the meat we eat? asks
the Pail Mall Gazette. The suburban
butcher win tell you that it is all home
killed. 1t not home fed; the domestic
cyn1c that Welsh mutton commonly
browses on Australian plains and that
Scotch beef loses half its virtue because
OF tho voyage across the Atlantic. The
truth, rs usual, lies between, and II one
had happened on the Society OF Arts in
session the other night one would have
learned some interesting facts from E.
Montague Nelson as to this more than
ordinarily interesting subject A quar-
ter OF century ago It struck people
that the United Kingdom could not
grow enough meat to feed her popula-
tion, which, by the way, it may be said,
eats more than twice as much meat as
any alien people. As usual, commit
tee was appointed, and it sat until 1870
without arriving at any definite conclu-
sion. At this time America was export
ing to the United Kingdom a large
quantity Of live stock, besides . profu-
sion OF timed meat, while two years
later the trade In chilled beef was
started, and gradually grew until in
1894 1t reached one hundred Thousand
tons. In 1880 the Australian colonies
began to be factor in the question of
supply. Early In that year the first ship
ment Of frozen meat was made, and the
trade has since attained huge proper
tions. In all, $4,000, 900 frozen sheep
and lambs have come to our shores,
Of which New Zealand has supplied
$4,000, 900, Australia, s,0o0,0oo, the
River Platte, 1900, 900, and the Fall<.
land islands, 150,OO In the early
stages of the business freight from
Australia was AID per pound; it is
now Id, and fair profit can be made
at this figure. There are now over
eighty ships engaged in the trade, with
. carrying capacity of about 2,5o0, 900
mnde in the shipment of live cattle
from Australia And the trials already
