Trick In Making Change.

A curious incident occurred in Paris
restaurant the other day. A high official,
happening to be in the Montmartre dis
trict about dinner time, walked into a
restaurant frequented much by foreign
ers, and took his dinner there, his bill
amounting to francs. When calling
the waiter to pay for his meal, he hand
ed him a 20 franc goldpiece, which the
waiter put into his mouth, as is the Gus
tom Of the Paris walters Making
change, he only gave him 2 francs The
gentleman looked up and said: "Beg
your pardon, want 10 francs and not
francs.'' excuse me, sir, said the
waiter. "You gave me 10 franc piece.
See?" And Herewith he took from be-
tween his lips smaller gold coin,
showing it to the gentleman. The Off
;cial, considerably wrought up for being
taken for fool, without any warning
gave the waiter such slap in the face
that the go franc piece given him fell
ont of his mouth and rolled across the
room. The gentleman got his change,
land purposely forgot to tip the waiter,
WHO had received quite setback by the
STRIKING argument Of the guest
Paris letter.

Duchess and Fishwife.

An old fishwife, one of the order that
was more frequently seen dozen years
ago than today, and who runs about
barelegged in very brief tartan petit
coat, with a creel Of fish upon her Shout
ders, had been often promised by an ally
in the servants hall that she should
some time see the young duchess in her
own home. She was therefore posted
one day in distant corner OF the hall,
from which she looked out in obvious
discomfort as the lady and her guests
filed in to dinner When the dining
room door had closed behind them, she
was asked what she thought of the
duchess
''The duchess!" she repeated in the
shrill tones Of supreme disdain. "Dinna
ye try for to make me believe my ain
Teddy was there. saw muckle Draw
wives tricked out in shining stones and
feathers, each with her mon by her side,
but my bonnie duchess wasna' VII them.
Ma, ma, dinna ye try for to max me be-
lieve that
1t then transpired that she was look
ing out for tall, willowy form, clad
in simple homespun, with sailor hat
poised lightly on dainty head, such as
she saw when she trudged to the rear of
the castle with her creel. and that she
would not have the tiara and satin train
at any cost.-Madame.

butchers, Bargain Days.

Bargain days. are no longer pecul-
lar or restricted to the big dry goods
and combination stores. The butchers
and grocers have entered the field. The
grocers have had to make occasional
cuts for some time, because nearly all
the large shopping emporiums deal in
groceries, of the canned variety espe-
cially. But bargain days in steaks, chops
and sausage are so something new and
unique.
On the upper west side there are a
dozen butcher shops that have followed
the lead of large market Oh One Hun
.dred and Twenty fifth street At this
place the housekeeper who watches out
for the pennies may get bargain every
day in the week. On Saturday, for in
stance, there is big cut in corned beef
for Mondays wash day boiled dinner.
On Monday posters with huge black
aetters inform the passerby that the
prices Of pork are being slaughtered or
that there is bear movement on legs
of lamb. Bedrock prices are quoted i'll
porterhouse, tenderloin and sirloin
steaks on another day. Turkeys, chick
ems and geese go for song on special
occasions, and regular bankrupt quota
tions are PIT up against fresh country
sausage and Philadelphia scrapple''

tenn. New York World.

sheer material is openworked, silk striped
and spangled. Crepe de chine is another
evening fabric shown in great Variety,
plain, changeable, Powered, embroidered
or printed in oriental patterns. These
transparent tissues are often made up over
silk of another color, the trimming being
of the same tint as the lining. The bodices

gathered over 81 close fitting lining Of silk.
Skirts of dancing gowns always have one

Evening gowns of heavier goods are made
more elegant by being lined throughout
with brilliant silk of different color.
Silk pettieoats continue to be trimmed
with pinked silk ruffles several Of these

them are arranged deep points of silk,

PIERCED THROUGH BY A DRILL.
The Iron Entered His Back and Came Out
Through His Ribs.

The Iron Entered His Back and Came Out
Through His Ribs.
They were discussing last night at a
miners boarding house the stabbing
of Tom Lynch at the Butte hotel, and
a number of the cases Of a similar ma
ture were brought up in which the in
iured men recovered and were as hearty
as ever.
"The most remarkable case, though,
that ever heard of, - said Jerry Harri-
gan, twas that of Pat Mulligan, with
whom I worked for many a year. In
June, 1851, Mulligan was working at
the Gray Rock, when the shaft on that
property was about 225 feet deep. Null
ligan was one of the sinking crew, and
one dav the bucket which was used for
taking out the waste and water was be-
ing hoisted to the surface. The bucket
| was almost filled with water, and the
shaft men, unknown to the topman, put
six dull drills in the bucket to be sent
on top to be sharpened. The topman
dumped the water i'll a trough at the
collar Of the shaft without closing the
trapdoors on top, and one Of the drills
rolled out, struck the trough and fell
| off down the shaft. 1t was an inch drill
about two feet long and weighed about
I six pounds.
'Mulligan was in STOPPING position
when the drill struck him. 1t hit him
back of the shoulder blade, passed clean
through the body, narrowly missing his
heart, and partly emerged from be-
tween the ribs Mulligan' S horror strick-
en- companions i'll the shaft rushed to
his assistance, and were about to pull
the drill out from his back when Null
gan calmly seized the lower end OF the
drill from where it protruded, and by a
great effort pulled it through his body
and threw it down at his feet. r.,
sit was a wonderful exhibition OF
strength and fortitude, but everybody
who heard of the accident was confident
that he could not survive. He lowered
between life and death for about three
weeks, and finally got apparently as
well as ever. He worked for ten years
in the mines Of Butte and Granite, but
finally met with a horrible death at the
Anaconda mine Oh Nov. 4, 1891, by
falling with eight others from the cage
while being hoisted from the mine. -

DISLIKE NEW CLOTHES.
Trainers of Animals Run Risks In Appear
ing IN Them,

ing IN Them.
cit is strange thing" said a well
SHOWN trainer Of animals, chow many
outbreaks and accidents have resulted
from trainer wearing d strange cos
tune. Quite recently a lady performer
who had made some alterations in her
dress had narrow escape. The tiger
with whom she usually appeared turn
ed sully from the start, and at last ab-
solutely refused to DO one of the tricks.
Its mistress urged and threatened to no
purpose, and finally attempted to use
The whip. The moment she attempted
TO do so the Infatuated animal flew at
her, and if it had not been for a boar
hound which was performing with them,
Miss S. would probably have lost her
life. The brave dog snapped at the tiger
and distracted its attention until his
mistress had succeeded in making her
escape. Unfortunately he was injured
by the tigers claws
Chow do you account for such out
bursts?''
'.The tiger evidently did not recognize
his mistress in her change Of costume.
AS a rule, very few alterations are made.
The same dog always appears i'll the
same act, and SO OF, the idea Of ac-
quaintancesh;p and familiarity thus be-
ing maintained. Why, even if a hat CT
a wrap happens to lie within reach out
side the arena the animal is sure to see
it at once, and if it can get at it will
promptly tear it to pieces"
''Have there been many such acct
dents recently?'
"About year ago a lion tanner in
New York wore a full dress suit instead
Of his usual military costume at one of
the performances. As soon as the lion
saw the change of clothing he made di-
rect at him. Now lions do not, like
tigers, try to kill instantly, bat strike
out with their paws to knock their enc
my down. In this case the lions claws
caught the trainers face, inflicting Sc
we're injuries. But he is still at the bust
ness, though the scars Of the struggle
are very plainly visible"
"Do these outbursts ever have fatal
results:''
sometimes. Another lady performer
made an alteration in her dress that dis
pleased the tiger with whom she was
acting, whereupon the savage beast
bounced upon her, killing her instantly.
This animal has never been allowed to
perform since. "-Nineteenth Century.
