Obstinate Royal Patient.

GA king has the right to die, but not the right to be ill.," said Louis XVIII. to his doctors, forbidding them at the same time to publish the truth about his condition.
 Alexander l., perhaps in imitation of the Bourbon he had helped to his throne, acted upon the same principle, though he did not embOdy it in para doxical epigram. For more than forty eight hours he refused to be bled, not withstanding the urgent persuasion of his physicians and the Empress. Find ing all persuasion useless, Dr. Wellye plainly told the Czar that, having re- fused the aid of science till it was too late. he had no resource left but the aid of religion.
 But I have an idea that that will prove a broken reed to you," said the blunt physician, worthy predecessor of Zacharin. ''I am afraid that religion will be of little use to the man whose obstinacy in refusing all medical aid is tantamount to suicide"
 Thirty hours later the eldest son of Paul I. had breathed his last.

their heads at the sight of James Inch, Parlor City's respectable citizen, in so deplorable a condition. They were a heartless crowd, those station men, for they called policeman, and the police man hauled Mir. Inch out of the freight and started dragging him toward the station. MT. Inch the meanwhile sleep ing innocently on. Half way tot the sta- ton the policeman gave out and Mir. Inch was allowed to take a short dGze on the sidewalk pending the arrival of help.
 It happened to be on the main street of ParlOr City that the policeman left his prisoner, and as the afternoon was as bright and sunny as the nor hing had been. the inhabitants were out in great numbers. Any attempt to record here the comments of the people on MT. Inch and his condition would be futile. Suffice it to say that the downfall Of James Inch. the model citizen of Par Tor City. the pillar of the church. and the greatest philanthropist in the cOun- try. was known for miles that night.
 And the next day there was more to talk about. MT. Inch slept for five hours at the station house, and then went home, and, refusing to recognize his wife, proceeded to destroy the fam ily china. He hurled plates around un- til he was tired. then smashed win dOws and mirrors with a poker for a time He went to bed after hacking at some furniture with a carving knife, and the next morning woke up with out the slightest recollection of what had happened. He recalled the strug gle at the station, but that was all. His wife pretended to believe the story of his having been stabbed in the neck, but she didn't at all
 For several days the cold glances of former friends and acQuaintances an noyed him. They all said, 'Yes, yes," when he. told of his remarkable tenn porary alteration, but he could see that they did not believe him. Nevertheless the truth came out in time and MT. Inch of ParlOr City is as respected and hOnOred as he ever was. Dr. Blank made a statement in the local paper of the matter over his signature, and that more than anything else exonerated Mir. Inch. As for the doctor, he was suspended, but at Mir. Inch's earnest solicitation the superintendent restored him to duty, and he and his victim are now the best of friends. The doctor doesn't carry his hypodermic syringe except in the asylum wards now, and he has declared that he'll never take it out of the building again.-New York Snn

THE LITTLE FRENCH GIRL.
She Is a Miniature Woman and Is
 Taught All Feminine Arts.

She Is a Miniature Woman and Is
 Taught All Feminine Arts.
 However innocent she may be, lit tie French girl is much more of a little woman than child of any other na- tiOnality. She does not rOmp; she is demure and quiet in her games, which are often limitations of grown persons life. She is trying to learn how to be the mistress of her house by means of her dolls, furniture, kitchen and dishes. Feminine arts are still a part of every well-arranged French education. Men really care more for these accomplish ments than for others, as they make stay-at-hOme wives who look after their households; and as FrenchwOm- ans principal aim is to please her fu- ture husband, every mother prepares her daughter for this end. This is why she does not permit too close an inti- macy with little boy cousins, because ten years later jealous husband would take dislike to these friendly cousins; nor would he like his wife'S bosom friends, in whom she confides, and who never leave her any better.
 Mothers, therefore, permit few if any intimacies, and these are all winnowed and selected with the greatest care. 1 One advantage of this system Is that l the name of friend Is not carelessly be- slowed right and left; it takes time and | good reasons for simple acquaintance | to rise to that rank. The mother not only wards off little boy cousins and in- timate girl friends, but sse discourages | the little girl in showing off her knOwl- edge out of the class room, for she is fully aware that nothing could be less
 attractive in the eyes of the expected | lord and master than a blue stocking.
 A bright little girl could name had,
 by chance, picked up some astronomical
 scraps, together with other scientific | facts, which allowed her to shine now
 and then. One evening, while playing | in the garden, she heard a friend of her fathers eXclaim: What a dazzling star!'' "That is not a star, sir" she
 said; "it is planet" Her mother was | in despair, for she would rather hun l dred times have found her ignorant
 than have seen her show off," or capa- l ble of committing the enOrmity of con tradicting an older person. "I hope, '' | she said jestingly, as a sort of excuse,
 that when she is eighteen the poor lit
 tie thing will have forgotten a great
 part of what she knows tO-day!'-Cen- | t1IlEr

A Chicago paper says: Every day brings its full quota of rural visitors to Chicago who are swindled by con- fidence men. These bunkO games are so transparent and so ancient that it seems astounding that they should prove successful Why is it that a countryman who is fairly intelligent, who reads the papers and is ordinarily shrewd in business matters, should leave behind him every particle of good common sense when he comes to the city? We believe there are still a few rural visitors who come to Chi cago and do not get swindled. For their benefit we lay down few plain, simple rules which have been thor oughly tested and can be guaranteed to work. As soon as you arrive, make a confidant of every stranger you meet. Tell every one all about yourself and your business, state how much money you have and show where you carry 1t. If any one asks you to drink accept in- stantly; Chicago bunko men are some times sensitive on this point, and 1t IS better not to offend them. Don't hesi- tate to go into any back alley, or base ment or dive. Always bet all your money on any game that is proposed. It saves time. The other fellows will get it, anyway, in the long run, and it may prevent your being sandbagged. Cash any draft or check or warehouse receipt which may be offered you. Hand your valise and valuables for safekeeping to any one who will ac- cept them. A receipt isn't necessary. Gold watches, gold bricks and dia- monds are given away here daily. The tunnel caves in every afternoon at 3 o'clock. Steamboats blow up twice a day, and arms and legs float in to the lake front at all hours of the day and night. Shell games will be found run ming full blast whenever you strike town, and will continue while your money lasts. Cut out these few point CTS; paste them in your hat, and give your pocketbook to your wife before leaving home.

Flower Girls in Real Life.

The flower girls of Italy are worse than the peddlers. The ''girl' is usu- ally plump and picturesque creature, aged anywhere from twenty-five to forty, and possessed of nerve even be- yond her years. She fiouriSheS best in Venice and Naples, but there is no cer- tainty of escaping her anywhere. Sup pose the stranger seats himself at a table in St. Marks square, Venice, to listen to the evening band concert. No sooner has he seated himself than the flower girl advances on him, preceded by the witchery of a beaming smile. She will place a flower in his button hole He may prevent her doing so by rising and offering physical resistance, but otherwise he must accept the flow CT. After the fowep has been placed there he may remove it and offer it to her. but she will laugh coyly and re- fuse to take it back. He may throw it on the ground, but that would be rude. Suppose that he accepts the inevitable and decides to leave the flower in his buttonhole. He puts hts hand into his pocket and says to the flower girl:
 "How much?'
 "Oh, whata you please"
 She knows her business. If he gives her fifty centimes or more, he knows that she will regard him an easy victim of her extortion, whereas, if he gives her only two or three small coppers she will say, "Eet ees not much" and po- litely revile him. The unprotected man has little chance against the large and determined girl.

One of those cheerful acrobats who turn somersets in the air from a bal loon and think themselves aeronauts repeated the performance at political rally in Nashville, Ind, with the GUS tomary result of getting tangled I'D in the ropes and the unusual climax ot reaching the ground alive. The report says ''the mortified spectators stood aghast," which seems to be the de- sired goal in these inhuman exhibi- tions. The balloon, it appears, has record of having killed four men and two women, and as this acrobat in- tends to stick to it, another man doubt less will soon be added to the death list, and some other spectators will he more favored because they will be more mortified" and stand more ''aghast. These fantastic public suicides should be suppressed.

A California man, Respondent be cause of bad health, and having con scientious scruples against suicide, made a narrowing confession of a murder, filling 1t in with horrible de tails, in hopes of being lynched. It is doubtful if brain of any but Amer. ican ingenuity could have conceived such a plan of leaving life. He was disappointed, however, by the law. abiding sentiment of the community which he had hoped to stir up.

Up to the beginning of September, this year, the Spanish minister of finance reported that $140,O00,00O in Cuban bonds had been expended for the war with the rebels on that island AS the annual deficit for the five pre- vious financial years averaged about $6,000,000, and the country is now try. ing to float a loan of S20O,O0O,OOO, it will be seen Cuba and the Philippines will have a good-sized debt to pay should the respective revolutions fail. If they should succeed Spain will be practical ly bankrupt.

The King of Sweden and Norway has written to the newspapers a denial of a speech attributed to him. The idea of a crowned and anointed monarch appealing to the press to set him right before the people of his land is one en- phasizing more than any other thing could do the real tribunal and ruler of the age, before whose power even kings must bow. And the power of the press means yet more emphatically the pow CT of the people.

An evangelist chose Steward, Ok, as the scene of an attack on women who dance" A large audience had assem- bled and when the evangelist, warming up to his subject, made a wholesale de nunciation against all women who in- dulged in dancing, the audience rapid ly left the building, with the evangelist in front. He started for the railroad station and reached it after enjoying personal encounter with each member of his late audience It is believed there will be no diminutiOn of dancing in Steward this winter, and that anti-danc. ing evangelists will remove this town from their visiting lists.

A rather remarkable instance of hon. esty saved the United States Govern ment forty-one thousand dollars a few days ago. K. H. Lewis, of Raleigh, N. O., was one of the beneficiaries under an old war claim for which Congress made an appropriation at the recent session. When the Secretary of the Navy sent a draft for the money to MT. Lewis, he returned it with the informal ion that his claim had been paid in full many years ago. Investigation proved that the claim was paid in 1876.

on the rear hub, instead of the usual rear sprocket. At each end this shaft is carried on ball bearings, which are arranged in such a way that wear can be taken up without affecting the mesh ing of the gears. The bearings for the hub and crankS are of the usual form. Once adjusted there is seldom a change, and when necessary 1t can be done as readily as a simple bearing.
