A Lesson In French.

"While was in Paris says a wom-
an whose recent trip abroad was inter-
rupted by family illness, II took one
lesson from famous French teacher I
paid large price for it and had to rush
home before a second was due, but I
consider that my money was we'll invest
ed, for she lit was a woman) impressed
one important linguistic fact upon my
mind. This was that the French Ian
guage has no sound Of "a, as in 'ah ,
NiEe -tenths Of the Americans who pre-
tend to speak French say la mort, la
terre, la this, that and the other, as
broad as Bostonese says can't and
shan't. 1t is absolutely wrong The
sound is as in mat, chat and those
words; the tongue is placed quite diff
ferently. The observance of this one dis
tinction more than almost any other
gives the real Partisan tang that we call
accent, but which is really only French,
pure and simple. I consider that my
fortnight in France was not wasted,
though I brought home only a sound -

AMERICAN ECCENTRIClTY.

Frenchmen Never Tire of Talking of Our
Queer Freaks. -
The French people never tire of re-
lating anecdotes of the eccentricity and
enormous wealth of Americans
An American went into hairdress-
ers shop in Paris recently and found a
charming but poorly dressed girl en-
gagged in negotiations with the propri-
etor. She was offering to sell him her
magnificent head Of hair for three napo-
leons-the man would give her no more
than one. At last the poor girl gave
way with tears, and the barber was
about to employ the fatal scissors when
the American interviewed and demanded
the cause Of the sad affair.
He found that the girls parents, who
formerly had been we'll off, were in the
last extremity Of poverty, and that she
had determined to make SO great sac
rifce in order to obtain them little
bread. The stranger drew out two bank
notes and offered them to tho girl, say
ir5:
"Will You let mo buy your hair?''
Without even looking at the notes, the
girl at once said, Eyes.
The American delicately took a single
hair, put it in his northumberland fed.
Not till he had gone did she look at
her bank notes, and found them to be of
the value Of $10O.-Elmira Telegram.

THE USE OF COCAINE.

Horse Trainers and Jockeys Find 1t Use
full Bracer For Their Mays.
Within a recent period cocaine has
come into use Oh the race track as a
stimulant. Horses that are worn and ex-
hausted, or are uncertain as to speed and
endurance, are given 10 to Is grains of
cocaine by the needle under the skin at
the time Of starting, or few moments
BEFORE
The effects are very prominent, and a
veritable muscular delirium follows, in
which the horse displays unusual speed
and often unexpectedly wins the race
This agitation continues, and the driver
has difficulty in "slowing down" the
horse after the race is over; not unfre-
quently the horse will go half way round
again before he can be stopped The ex-
haustion which follows is not marked,
except in the great thirst and loss of ap-
petite. Sometimes diarrhea and trem-
bling follow. But good grooms give un-
usual attention to rubbing and bathing
the legs in hot water and stimulants.
The general effect on the horse is de-
preston, from which he soon RECEIVERS,
but it is found essential to give cocaine
again to make sure of his speed. The
action of cocaine grows more transient
as the use increases, and when long
period Of scoring follows before the race
begins drivers give second dose secret
ly while in the saddle. Sometimes the
horse becomes delirious and unmanage-
able and leaves the track in a wild
frenzy, often killing the driver, or he
drops dead on the track from cocaine, al
though the cause is unknown to any but
the owner and driver. Some horses have
been given as high as 20 grains at a
time, but this is dangerous and only
given to WORKOUT animals, who may by
this means win race. 1t appears that
cocaine is only used in running races
and as q temporary stimulant for the
time. 1t is claimed that the flashing
eyes and trembling excitement of the
horse are strong evidence Of the use Of
cocaine. Cincinnati Enquirer.

There is man in Washington who

He had thougst to resort to violent

| of his respondent wife and children, and
| for their sakes he had staid the avenging

! Again he had thoaght Of appealing to
the law, but that seemed almost cow

| He had some kind of vague idea
| that a night Of sleep might heal the
wound Of the insulter, but, that failing,
| he knew that blood alone could make
| atonement
AS he neared home, thinking every
second Of what he would, could or must
do, he happened to think of his wife,

With this new thought urging him on

this time tomorrow evening he would

Naturally, this unusual demonstration
surprised the good woman.
They had been married Is years.

Tho celebrated cannon, the "Lady

Of that great contest which remains in

propose to purchase it of it's owner-the

from Blakely to Mobile, and if the pur-

MAGIC WORDS.
These In Various Cases Are Supposed to
Be Pregnant With Good Luck.


Be Pregnant With Good Luck.
Here are one or two magic words
words that really do things; words that
are endowed with the blessedness of
"Abracadabra :" The word "Abracalan'
drives away the ague; keep it there
fore about the house. For epilepsy the
word "Anamzaptas' cures man and
"Anamzapta' cures a woman. The
word "Alga' should also be kept about
the house because it is good in exor-
cisms, and the word "Abraxas'' pos
sesses qualities which not even the most
fervent believer can fully comprehend
If you are attacked by q snake, do not
run away, but just say " Osya' and sec
what will happen. And if you want
really all round useful word l will give
you one. Get it engraved Oh ruby,
mounted with gold, and you will have
continued good luck. The word is "Be-
dooh -
II you want another word, the utter
ance of which brings bad luck, can
also find you one, It is a word held in
execration by Arabs, Turks and Per-
slams. On one occasion the late Edward
Palmer cleared a whole bazaar Of it's
occupants by repeating this word aloud.
They fled, shrieking and cursing and
looking to see the infdel fall dead on
the spot. The word is -- But mol
reso1ce it fer mine enemy. l shall meet
hill somo day. I shall engage him in
Fl: ondly conversation. I shall then pro-
nounce the word aloud, and lamppost
or a coping stone will instantly fall up
Oh him. For my own part shall not be
hurt, because l shall have "Bedooh'' on
q ruby ring, "Abracadabra' in a silver
casa round my neck, "Abraxas'' in my
right hand pocket, and "A]ga" in the
loit.-Walter Besant in Queen.

Violins are rented for varying periods,
perhaps for week, to visitor in the
city. They are often rented by the
month, like pianos. The bulkier cello
and the double bass are sometimes rent
ed for single occasions, for concerts in
private houses The instrument is de-
livered and taken away, the player pre-
ferring to hire an instrument rather than
to carry or to attend to the carrying Of
his own.-New York Sun.
